SUNDAY SCHOOL ORGANIZATION
An Effort to Form a Convention in
Williamsburg County.
Mr. Frank Whilden, of Ch^r'eston,
the fie'd secretary of the
South Carolina State Sundav
School Association, was in Kingstree
last Sunday and Monday, for
the purpose of organizing an interdenominational
Sunday School
convention in this county. Mr.
Whilden visited the different
schools of the town Sunday mom
inir. and held a blackboard exer
cise in the Baptist church Sunday
atternoon. A mass meeting was
held at the Methodist church
Sunday night, and the scheme
laid before the people.
Oil Monday afternoon a committee
of local Sunday School
workers met in the Baptist church
and considered the matter ,
of the county association. It.was
determined to revive the old organization,
and to that end a
committee was appointed to secure
a place for holding a courvty i
interdenominational convention
some time later in the year, probably
about June, and to corres
ootid with all the schools in the
lifferent townships, and ask their ,
co-operation, and get them to appoint
a representative from each
;chool to attend.
It was also urged that this conn ,
ty be well represented at the Stale .
convention to be held at Georgetown
on of 11th May, at which ,
irae all accredited delegates will

A COLUNN PERTAINING TO THE
TOWN OF KINGSTREE.
Warden Jacobs Resigns Which Wil'
Necessitate a Special Election
? Loose Hcgs Again
Mr. Louis Jacobs, who was elected
a Warden of the tbwn of
Kingstree at the regular election j
last September, has resigned as a
member of the tovyn council, and
o cn.mi'.i! olorOl'nn U'lll ll.'JVP to llP
? op.-v.... .
held to fil! the vacancy thus crea
ted. /i'he council will hold its
next regular meeting 011 the last
Wednesday in January, f/ie 26th.
and will no doubt order the election
to be held ai an early day
thereafter, as it is made mandatory
by section 4 of (he revised
charter of lhe town, which section
reads as follows:
That in case a vacancy shall occur
in'the office of Intendant or any
of the Wardens by death, resignation,
or otherwise, an election to fill
such vacancy shall be held by the
appointment ot the Intendant and
Wardens, as the case may be, whigh
election shall be held and conducted
under the same forms and requirements^
are herein prescribed for
conducting the regular election.
And in case of sickness dr temporary
absence of the Intendant, the
Wardens forming a Council are
empowered /to elect one of their
number to act as Intendaut during
the time.
All we have lo say in regard to
this election is. let the best man
win. Elect a mau who will look
nut for the best interests of the
municipality. Mr. Jacobs was a
iood warden and we regret to see
him leave the council. Aggres
jive and progressive, he always
liad the good of the citizens a!
and did his utmost t^'see
[hat tlie town was properly gov
?rned. We can only hope to see
is good a member' as wa^ Mr.
Jacobs elected to till his place.
In our last issue we mentioned
I he fact that hogs, cows, horses

ind protested against it. Before
[hat issue of the Record was five
liours old our worthy Intendent
'jumped" us about the protest and
aid he was afraid the public would
place the bulk of the blarrie upon
thecbeif executive of the towil
but that that officer was not to
blaiue. Upon inquiry we found
that at the last meeting of the!
council an ordinance was passed
requiring the street committee to
have the loose animals taken up
and pounded, requiring the own
ers to pav 10 cents for each hog
and 25 cents for each horse or
cow. but so far not an animal has
been pounded. Wardens Wallace
and Monzon constitute the street
committee, and Dr. Wallace tells
us that he cannot find anyone who
will take up the animals at the
Es named. This, then, is the
iu they are permitted to run

Indications of Kingstree's Steady
March Foward.
That Ihe .business of Kings tree

week some new enterprise is begun,
and no failures ever occur.
We have recently had occasion to
mention several new business
houses that have sprung up in
Kingstree, among them being
Barr's new hotel, Thomas &
