Editor County Record;
Fur the sake of information, I
should Wke to Know why it is that
so many problems are referred by I
citizens ot this state to the Experiment
St a i?xii of Georgia for solution
when we have experienced;
men employed at good salaries in
nurown slate for this very purpose, j
This fact is most conspicuous i
among the lower counties, a condition
exactly the reverse of what,
it would he it our people generally I
1 " 1 4 - ? * - - ? ?? ' d .* n /\ t h n
were ueuer imuriiieu h? ??? . ???o
great work I hat is toeing done
here.
Every Monday aflernoon ant
average of six horses besides other !
annuals of the farm are treated:
tree of charge except lor the small;
cost of necessary drugs. I hare :
witnessed many operations which '
would have entailed an expense .'
of ten or fifteen dollars had any
other veterinary surgeon been employed.
But this is onlv a small
part ot the work done by the vet-i
urinary division, and citizens of the ;
.eastern eoonties must not infer:
^ lb ere I ore t Mat mis tiauon is 100
I far away lo be of special benefit j
to them; ami especially when it is {
150 miles uearer to them than j
any other.
I merely mention this because
I iVel that too few people (and especially
farmers) are conversant
with experiment station work,
and because I should like the "Sage
ot Possum Fork" (or some other
w ho wields so ready a pea) to
give me the why sought alter in
ihe foregoing paragraph that is
relative to Williamsburg's status.
Why not have the Farmer's Institute
brought to Kingstree this
summer?
Alter conducting a series of
Tery pleasant meetings hero the
Rev's Doritee and YVardlaw returned
March 25th to their post
at Charlotte IT C. and Church S. i
C., respectively. Mr Wardlaw expressed
surprise at meeting so
many faces with which he was
familiar, but I hardly think such
surprises should exist among our
visitor*.
Out of nearly 500 students here
only lour are from Williamsburg,
viz; G. G. Bryan and S, O. Bryan,
f the Sophomore class; S. W.
Eeps, o( the Junior class; and this
annotation ot the Senior class. 1
am happy to add, Mr. Editor, that
these are pursuing the agricultural
ciences. <

you for this space in your valuable
journal. I shall add that if <

County Board of Equalization.
The County board of equalization
met Friday in the court house and !
passed upon various matters coining
within the scope of their duties.
Following are the townships represented:
Hope, J J B Montgomery;
Anderson, J \V Register; Sumter,
W W Kennedy; King, W Ii Funk;
Turkey, S II Guerry; Mingo, John
S Grahum; Ridge, \V F Kennedy;
Indian. CC Daniel; Johnson, DNj
Johnson; Lee, W W H Cock field;
Lake, W S Enddy; Law, Penn and
Suttons townships were not represented.
* At their previous meeting the
board placed a valuation on all live
stoek (except such as are old, blind,
or crippled) as follows: mules $75 a
head, horses $G0, oxens $15, cows
and yearlings $5, hogs $2, sows havio?pigs$l?
sheep $1 and goats 50
cents.
At the meeting Friday the basis
for taxation on real estate was fixed
at $3.00 an acre for cleared land and
$1.00 an acre for wood land.
Several appeals were passed on
and in each case the county board
sustained the action of the township
boards.
When the question came up of
electing a member of the State
board of equalisation the point was
made that under the law C'apt. W
R Funk as chairman of the county
tx>ard was, ex officio, a memoer 01
the State boare,
Mr. P. S. Wall, a well known
merchant ef Scran ton, was in
tewn Monday.
Rev. H. J. Cauthen preached in
the Methodist church Sunday
morning and evening, and Rev.
J. E. Dunlop filled the pulpit ol
the Presbyteiian church Sunday
afterneon.
In this issne appears the first
initallment of our new serial story,
"John Winthrop;s Defeat". This
story is highly interesting, full of
action and incident and intensely
interesting. Don't fail to read the
opeuing chapters.
Messrs. W. S. Eaddy and John
S. Graham, of Leo and Morrisville,
respectively, paid us their respects
Friday, while attending the meeting
of the county board of equal*

Off To The Expositiom (
Prohably the largest crowd that ha* gone from j
Klngstiee yet went to Charleston this week to be |
in the city yesterday on Pa- Iduit's Day. Among i
those who took th* train at this point the follow
ing were noted, there being probably many
others whose names we could not ascertain: Mr"
and Mrs. LeKny I-ce and Mats Serena Margarita
Ix'e, Mrs. \V. T. Ml',kins. Mrs. John A. Kelley,
Misses Bessie and Alma Kelley, Misses Reaniou,

Owing to the crowd and confusion Tuesday
morning at the station it was impossible to obtain
a complete list of those who made the trip
and there are doubtless <ome who were uuinteu*
tionally over looked.
