With his characteristic energy! and enthusiasm our wideawake j count* superintendent has gone' actively to work forming a boys' . coro club for this county and soliciting from various business houses cash or merchandise suitable for premiums as an iuceu- j tive to the yonthful .agricultur- i ists of the county to enter the | contest. We bespeak for Mr Mc-1 Cullough a liberal response to' his appeal for the wherewithal I to offer prizes to the boys and our public-spirited business men' will ma"ke 110 mistake in contributing to thi3 fund. Another movement that is worthy; of encouragement and support is; the one set forth in the letter of Dr A H Williams, which j has . appealed ii. several issues of i , The Record. Di Williams' ap-i !.? e. ?...i ' I J'Cill \\J IUC 1AI UlVl^-ar-iillU Wt illtT ^all so close to the soil thut the! term "farmer" may he said to include every class and condition! of- our people?is worthy of their j favorable consideration arid at least live Jniudred Williamsburg corn-growers should join the uieu'a corn club, thereby creating O u fund of $o0<> to be distributed in j rizes for the best corn crops, according to the conditions of the contest. The promoter of the enterprise,! Dr Williams, offers to raise SotHM ? i bv his personal efforts, if the rest of'the county will contribute an equal amount. This is J certainly a liberal offer and we hope and belie ye that there are t V -enough men in old Williamsburg with the general welfare of the: couutv at heart to join in this ! movement with tii?r detei urination j to raise-^ I ,<**>. besides the amount' Dr* Williams pledges. With j $l,6i)0 in cash or the equivalent to oftv: as prizes, if we are blessed with favorable seasons, we look forward to the present year as a iecord-breaking one m the it production of the nation's staple r food crop. The Record always stands for what it believes to be for the best interest of the people generally and we certainly endorse most earnestly both the' men's '1 ^Ua Kftno' /.a*??v /aln)\ m nro? <fUU CUC UUJFO IU1U VIU V ww ? v. | moots. I ===== An exchangl; from a neighboring county tells about a young h, .. ?*<:..' /- - . I I man who recently coughed upjj two pins that had been snugly,: reposing in his anatomy for over J a viar. That's nothing: last week i we hail a delinquent subscriber to cough uj\ a couple of dollar* of our;1 money that he had betii carrying1 around somewhere 4*in his midst" j: fur over two years. We beg leave to offer the sug-j gestion to Superintendent of Kd-j ucation McCullough that he ad* i c I mit to membership in the "boys'j orn club" girls also, if any should wish to join. We know of numerous instances where with e pia! chances the women farmers far outstripped the men. Avant, who with I)r B'gliam, was convicted of manslaughter in the killing of i)r Bigham's wife, Mrs liuth Crisp Bigham, has been released from the penitentiary pending?something?there are so many loop-holes, we fail to recall just now what particular one he got through. # Meantime, where is Dr Bighani? They know how to suppress blind tigers in Kentucky. In Danville, in that State, recently a bunch of alleged "tigers" was hauled to'the police station in an old hearse used as a patrol wagon and eight of them were convicted, receiving sentences of from ten months to four and a half years in the work house, Danville is the original dry town of Kentucky, being without a saloon for forty years. Unless people?and a great many of them, too?are doing this town! a senons injustice, it is a com-! paratively easy matter for almost anybody to buy whisky iu KingsIree. This is a grave charge! against our town, but the reports! to that effect are so numerous, and some o? them from such re-; I liable sources, that it time for;, the citizens of the town to take! I notice of the matter. ___________ i The '"unloaded gun'" stiil ciulnis ! its victims. At Spartanburg last week a four-year-old lad shot his | little sister with an old rifie the) j I children were playing with, \ wounding the child in the l?-g!| so s-riously that amputation may ; be necessary, it is feared. The j deadly weapon was an old piece ' of a rifle that 110 one dreamed ! l was dangerous ai d w as used as a play -thins by the children. Thus is vended the old adage: "There's danger m a gun without lock, ] stock or sarrel.'' * r Under the provisions of the act passed by the recent Leg is lature for closing up the busi- , ness of the defunct county dis- ( pensaries. sixty days is the limit ( allowed for the winding up peri- ' od. A member of the county ( board recently stated ih our pres- 1 i ence tiiat fifteen miuutes was a'l tile time needed to despatch the . business incident to the tinul ] dessoiiition of this county s d.a- , pensaiies, and just .is soon as ^ Dispensary Auditor West makes his lvuuds here the long de- , ? i ferivd "winding-up" process will j take place?"a consummation de- t vouth to he hoped."

Warrants for twentyeight persons, fifteen of whom are white, were issued last week. Hardy Mobley, a young negro in Saluda county, who recently drew a gun on.I E Zeigler and vilely cursed him, on being arrested asked Mr Zeigler tojwhip him instead of pressing the prosecution. This was agreed to aud he received a severe whipping instead of going to jail. At Dallas, Texas, last week a negro 5S years old named Allen Brooks criminally assaulted a baby girl three years of age. It is hard to devise a punishment adequate for so fiendish a crime. A horse jumped through the show window of a store at Clio last week and shattered the glass and several show-cases, also badly cutting himself. # Catherine Johnson, a Spartanburg school-girl, was hit in the eye by a snow-ball recently and the organ was so badly injured that loss of sight is feared. / Senator Tillman is still improving and is rapidly recovering the use of his limbs. His plans are to spend some time in an Atlanta hospital and then take another trip to Europe, say the press reports.

Mr McCullough would have been eighty-two years of age had he lived until next October. He did valiant; service throughout the War between j the States, having enlisted as caval- j ryman in ('apt. Tucker's company, j apait of Haskell's regiment and j Gnerry's brigade. He never was wounded, although on three different occasions lie had his horse shot from under him, and <^h time; mounted another steed am kept his place in rauks. Duriug his entire service he was never made prisoner, and after the surrender of the Confederate armyhe made his way home through the, lines of the Uuiou soldiers without; surrendering?nor did he ever sur- J render to the United States author-! ities. After the war he came back J to the old plantation there to live a quiet life, engaged in stock-raisiDg and agriculture. With him lived two of his sisters, Mise Lula McCullough and Mrs B Tisd^le. The other living sisters and brothers are Miss Sarah McCullough, Mrs Mary Tisdale and Mr John S McCullough, all of the Cedar Swamp neighborhood. Mr McCullough was a loval mem ber of Cedar Grove Baptist church, where he was to be seen occupying his favorite place near the right of j the pulpit at each day of worship j untif the last days of feebleness1 hindered his presence. At h\a request he was laid to rest! on the bluff of Cedar Swamp, away [ in the lonely wood among a growth ! of cedars, where the McCullotighs j interred their dead many years ago.
