About' seventy-five admirers from Kingstree went along with the nine, and "rooted" in a great way. Out of a total of twelve games this season, Kingstree has lost only two, which is a good record. The Kingstree correspondent of the News and Courier, under date of Aug 7th, said : "Dispensary matters are still un settled here. The dispensary is closed up to day. .Mr Stutts, the former dispenser has turned over evrything to the board of control and Mr A O. Mouzon will tafe charge Monday morning as a new dispenser. There is a good open ing here fnr an "original package" store, and if some men of the right stamp would open hero and sell liquors at fair prices they would get the trade in this line.

Already accommodations for abont thirty teachers have been arranged, and it is hoped that the citizens will entertain ail of them. The superintedent of education has requested us to state to those who can entertain one or more that they would confer a great favor if they would let him know of it at once, or leave names and number that can be entertained at this office for him. It is gratifying to learn that the crops of our county are in excel lent condition, and the outlook for a splendid harvest is bright- Tobacco curing and grading is pro gressing finely, and the quality of the leaf is reported by those who , know as strictly tine. Corn is doing well, and the cotton plant, though not particularly large, is - heavily fruited. If the season continues propitious, and judging from present conditions, when our

There are certain sections in which the crops are failing now. The continued heat dries up the moisture that is in ground. If rain does not come in a few days, both corn and cotton will be damaged considerably. Mr. J. C.

Mouzon, of Greeleyville, was elected to succeed dispenser H. R. Stutts, and that gentleman took charge of the business Tuesday. In going over the stock, pre paratory to turning over to Mr. Mouzon, the board found thirteen cases empty, with the wire seal cut, but which were beneath piles of full cases. Of these Mr. Stutts told us he has no knowledge. Mr. Mouzon, the new dispenser, has been dispenser at Greeleyville ever since the establishment of the dispensary at that place, and never once has there been anything wrong in his accounts. Mr. 8. M. Bfadshaw was elected to succeed Mr. Mouzon at Greeley ville<
