Mr Farmer, won't you bear in mind that Kingstree has one of the very best tobacco markets in the State, and that this market will open for the sale of leaf tobacco next Thursday morning:, one week from today. There are four well equipped warehouses here, each under the management and direction of men whose knowledge of the warehouse business cannot be questioned and whose honesty and integrity is unimpeachable. They have all been working hard and gone to extra expense during the past few weeks getting their warehouses in the best possible condition for your convenience and now they arq inviting you to give them a share of your patronage and The Record feels that it can vouch for a square deal in every respect, at their hands. Several new prize houses have recently been erected and are easily accessible. These houses will mark a j big improvement over former eon! ditions here in the handling of to bacco, so if you are ready to sell drive straight to Kingstree, where you will always find courteous treatment at the hands of our warehousemen, bankers and merchants. Our I lawyers, doctors and preachers, too, will give you a glad hand and a square deal if you have occasion to call upon them. Mrs Janle Clark Dead.

Visitor Accused of Victimizing Fruit Concerns Here. ! Solomon Khoury, said to be aj tailor at Kingstree, was arrested jesterday afternoon by Chief Cantwell and lodged at the police station, where two charges concerning ; bogus checks were made against! him. It is aLo reported by the police that a third charge will probably be made against him this, morning. In one case he is accused of ob-1 raining goods under false pretenses! from the Southern Fruit Company, | and in the other case it is charged i that he forged the name of A Angelo to a check given to the Bay Fruit Company. Chief Cantwell was notified by the Southern Fruit Company that a man representing himself as S M Osmer, a merchant at Lake City, had called and, after having inquired into the accounts of Osmer, whom he claimed to be, it is alleged, left an order for bananas and onions and secured $10 cash on a draft drawn on Osmer. It developed that he was not Osmer, that the draft was no good and that Osmer did not order the goods. This is said to have taken place Thursday. . The police were notified yesterday, with a description of the man, and about 7 o'clock yesterday afternoon Chief Cantwell located the man at Columbus and Nassau streets, thus effecting his arrest. The management of the Bay Fruit Company, it developed, was also given a check by the same man, it is charged, and at once preferred charges against him. It is said that he ordered a peanut parcher and forged the endorsement of A Angelo to a check for $25. v A third charge by another fruit company is expected to be made against Khoury this morning, the police said lasf night. ?Neios and Courier, July 14. ? S Khoury came to Kingstree about a year ago. Later he opened up a cleaning and pressing business in the Thomas building on West Main street. Of late he has been passing out worthless checks promiscuously and a number of them are now in the hands of local merchants. Several days ago Sheriff Graham received instructions from the Sheriff at Spartanburg to arrest Khoury on the charge, it is said, of passing bogus checks. He has not been seen in Kingstree for about three or four weeks. It is thought here, that the man is mentally unbalanced. Playing Ball. The Kingstree baseball team will play the McColl team here this afternoon, tomorrow and possibly Saturday. Don't fail to go out and root for the boys. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the Kingstree team will play at Lake City. It is the intention of the managers of the local team to have three games each week on the home diamond, but it is impossible to give a correct schedule of future games at this time. The Kingstree team has gotten down to business, and any game it plays will be well worth the price of seeing it. SKETCflES FROM SCRANTON. Rendition of a Pleasing Temperance Entertainment.

It WHEAT AT BENSON. Two Hundred and Fifty Bushels Threshed for Local Farmers. Benson, July 12:?Last week Mr David E McCutchen was in this neighborhood with his portable machine threshing wheat for the farmers. In this immediate community two hundred and fifty bushels were threshed out. Allowing five bushels to make one barrel of fiour the amount of pure, fresh, wholesome wheat flour would amount to fifty barrels, distributed among the farmers who have added this industry to the numerous farm produets that are now being raised. Mr McCutchen has threshed wheat in several neighborhoods and reports thp Rwrncp viplr? nhmit pitrhf hmahpls to the acre. Mr John Thomas of Cades was the champion producer until Mr McCutchen arrived here with his machine and threshed for our hustling farmer, Mr John Y McGill, who heads the list of wheat'growers with fifty-three bushels on two acres or 26 1-2 to the acre. It is now a thoroughly demonstrated fact that the planters of Williamsburg county are able to raise enough wheat for their own consumption. It has already been proven that more than one hundred bushels of corn to the acre is possible and naturally that means an abundance of home raised meal, grits, meat, milk and butter. With a plenty of fresh vegetables, Irish and sweet potatoes and home-made syrup, chickens and eggs, why shouldn't we be a prosperous people? The only possible cause of failure would be the need of drainage, judgment and energy. The corn crop has improved very much where it has been properly worked and will yield more than was thought a month ago. Mrs Taska Rollins of Florence is visiting relatives in this neighbor uuuu. Miss Flossie Weaver of Lake City has returned to her home after a few days visit among relatives here. After taking the summer course for teachers at Coker, College Miss Ruth Phillips has returned to her home here. Mr H E Tisdale has about completed his handsome two story dwelling which, surrounded by an elegant grove of pecan trees, presents a beautiful appearance. WES. Witli Our Advertisers.
