The "Tri-County Record," which,
according to its heading, has circulation
in "Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Beaufort, and1 Hampton" counX
A *
ties, has quite an imposing uue. u
is not entirely clear why the title is
limited to "tri-county" when it admits
circulation in five counties. The
paper has four ready printed pages,
six columns of home set reading matter,
and three columns of local matter.
Evidently there is not much news
in the five counties the paper represents.
"We are handling more bogus
checks at this time than I have
ever known before," remarked a
Bamberg banker the other day, who
added that in that bank alone anywhere
from six to-a dozen checks are
handled every day that are no good.
The practice of checking on bank accounts
which are deficient of balances
has grown steadily in the past few
years and the present money stringency
probably has a lot to do with the
avalanch6 of bogus checks being
drawn now.
PUT BABY ON HOT STOVE.
Says Husband "Treated Her Coolly"
and He is in Jail.
New York, Nov. 2.?After she had
bexen arrested accused of placing her
seven months old boy on a red hot
stove, Mrs. Grace Randall told the
Brooklyn police tonight that her husband,
whom she loves "better than
anything in the world" had 'treated
her coolly," since the child was born.
The child, taken from the top of a
stove by police whom neighbors summoned,
may die from its burns, hospital
physicians said. The husband is
serving a sentence in jail.
His Chief End in Life.
There lived in an English town a
wealthy but exceedingly "tight" old
lady, who kept very few servants and
t)aid' them as little as possible.
Among these was an underfed, miserable
looking lad of fourteen, who
answered the door, did the dishwashing,
waited at the table, weeded the
garden, washed the dog and a few
other things.
One day a visitor asked this lad: i
"Well, my boy, and what do you do
around here?"
"I do a butler, a kitchen maid and j
a gardener out of a job," replied' the
*

was shot and instantly killed late
Saturday night by Elliott Culbreath,
