OCT. 26.1911. ' A Pica for Clean Side-Walks. 1 We quite agree with our cor44 c respondent, Poor Conrad," that steps should be taken to keep t the side-walks clear of apple and t banana neelings and other germ- 8 producing rubbish. The Civic * Q League placed cans alongside ^ the pavements and even employ- j ; ed a man to look after the side- o walks on Main and Academy' li streets, which was an excellent j thing for the town, but the good I. ladies fur some reason seem to r F have relaxed their efforts, to some c extent at least. We think the E * Civic League should receive the o aid and encouragement of every one in their praise-worthy efforts 0 tkV to cleanse and beautify the streets,1 1 B i and if the undertaking prove f, too much for them the town h council should aid them to continue the good work. ^ The anti-spitting ordinance is / &] a good suggestion. Physicans tell w clJ us that there is no quicker way to disseminate disease germs than oi by the sputum of persons atliicted with certain contagious diseases. Such an ordinance is sure to ji come sooner or later, so why not pass it now? In many cities special plain clothes ollicers are \\ detailed to watch the sale-walks is and they are kept as clean :is a 'a (/ Hoor. Onlv a few months ago in j , ! rI the city of Columbia the secretary 1 ?or some otlicial of the Chamber of ( 1 Coiuin rce?was lined five do!Jars !u ! or writing in chalk on the -ide- [ walk?if we remember aright - the i appeal: "I've j?;iid my dollar js (t<? the (.iianiU-r of Commerce)]*1 luive you paid yours?" It is a p eonuuoii thing to Mr all kinds of jt] advertisement.- on the side-walks j of Kingstree and no one -eeni^ja to care. It may take time to bring !r( about much improvement along jT these lines, the town ha* rocked; ' i n along in the same old rut for so, \ many years; hut a little energy t and ]K*rseverani*e properly direct-J ed would accomplish a great deal.

Why not"' Stranger things have happened. Death ol Mr. John S. Graham. Nesmith, October 23:*?It is my painful duty to chronicie the death of one of our best citizens, Hon John S Graham, which sad even" took place at his home at Morrisville Wednesday morning; October 18, after an illness of about tw6 months. When he was first taken sick his physician advised a change of climate and he immediately went to \sheville, N C, where he received the best attention for a nlonth; but J * nstead of being benefited he gradually grew worse. About two weeks igo he was brought home, "but with ill the tender care and nursing of 'amily, friends and physician, death rould not be stayed. Mr Graham being so well kno^vn 0 the readers of The Record, I feel hat an attempt on my part to give 1 sketch of his life would be useless, doubt if there was a man in the ounty better known than Mr Graiam,he having represented the couny in the General Assembly for eight r ten years, retiring from public ife two years ago. Mr Graham was of a kind and geial disposition, quiet and unassumig? the perfect type of honesty, 'or a number of years he was a onstant member of the Black Mingo iaptist church. In his death the. ounty has lost one of its best men. On Thursday afternoon at 3 'dock his remains were laid to rest 1 the old Belin cemetery, there to j wait the final resurrection. The jneral services were conducted by is pastor, Rev H C Haddock. Mr Graham was 64 years of age. [e leaves a devoted wife, four sons, ?ven daughters and a host of friends ad relatives to mourn their irreprable loss. May He who doeth all lings well comfort the bereaved aes in this their dark hour. S H Cooper. Carload of wagons and buggies ist received. i 10-12-3t Hudson & Baker.
