. Prospect and Retrospect.
Casting s retrospective glance over
the past twelve months our people,
both of town and county, find much
cause for congratulation. Compared
. with last year this time
the- county is in a prosperous
condition and the people are full of
hope and energy born of qpnfidence
in the future. The farmers of the
comity have made good crops geuer"
-l! A 1 V1_J ?1 4-,.
^mauy, wnicn uuts eiiiiuiru tucux w
flszeet their obligations and. left more
less surplus. Some who fell beS^Bkind
las* year have paid out in full
^Ppid once more are experiencing the
pleasant sensation of being out of
debt
This state of .things is extremely
gratifying to ns all aud all the more
so when we contrast the present
oandktous with those that obtained
/a year agor Erery week or two ' last
L fall a merchant went into bankf
ruptcy and his place of business was
closed. These bankrupt stocks
being thrown on the market caused
an unnatural and unhealthy condition
of trade and resulted in ruinous
competition.
The Bank of Kingstree was just
* organized and there were those who
? i t il:i i 1 .1
pretucuxi mat nere was auuuier jncdeetinate
failure.
Compare this condition with that
of the present. All of our merchants
have enjoyed a fine trade this fall
and not a single business faliure has
^ been reported. The Bank of Kingstree,
whose untoward fate was
lamented in advance, has grown to
be a lusty financial stripling and
its stock is selling away above par.
Its net earnings amounted to 18&
per cent at the close of the first year
of its existence, as fine a showing or
finer than any similar institution in
the State with the same amount of
litah stock.
The outlook for Kingstree seems
'>?/ brighter than ever before. New
buildings are going up and others
are being planned. Before the next
_^seaaon opens we are promised one
tobacco warehouse1 in town and
possibly two. We are also led to
believe that ere another new year
comes around we shall have a new
school building that will be an
J$ ornament to the town and a credit to
- - v riOriZ
onr county. " This is truly "a consuo&r
mation devoutly to be hoped." *r?
The town has now a great opportunity
ta go forward; let us sta^d
shoulder to shoulder and "seize the
day." Pulling in different directions
has too often exhausted our energies
and neutralized our efforts for advancement.
In the language of
of D'Artagnan let us henceforth be
"one for all and all for one," and let
that one be Kiogstree.
Men should not lear death; they
'should (ear life. X

DISPENSARY PROFITS. ;
Annual Report of State Di?pensary j
Soun to he Made.
The annual report of the State j
dispensnrv will soon be made, J
and the ex iel figures as to Ihe '
State's bi^ liquor luisine-s will be
giveil l??r 'he year ju-t ended.
In ronn'1 figures it i- stated
t)i: the report will show that the J
business ha- paid $550,000 to the
counties, towns and cities and the ,
?chool fund this venr, over $400,000
of this having been paid over
to the counties towns and cities.
The total amount of profits paid
to the school fund is about $140,- 1
000, this including the last three
quarterly payments required bv 1
the new act.
The volume of business for the I
year is considerably larger than i
that ot last year.
The experts who have been examining
the books, accounts and
all affairs of the dispensary under
the act requiring such examina- ;
tion to be made have not yet filed
meir repon wun me governor to
be transmitted to the general
assembly. ...
The institution ended the year
with its accounts more thoroughly ,
balanced up than for some years.'

Nineteen Bale* on Thirteen Acres. |
Speaking ol good farmers and '
productive soil we have Ion;:
maintained and herebv iterate the
claim that in both these respects 1
Williamsburg is exceeded bv tew '
counties of the State. If the soil 1
and resources of Williamsburg '
county were exploited as they
should be it would become a i
Mecca for home-seekers and investors.
Here is a case in point as to the
fertility of the soil of our county.
Our good friend, John M Nexsen,
who lives scarce three miles from
town, and whom we all know to
be as mo lest and unassuming an ,
individual as ever hid his light
under a bushel, made this year
nineteen bales of cotton on thirteen
acres, and on his entire cot
ton farm of 100 acres lie lias
gathered over eighty bales. Mr.
Nexsen was not our informant as
to this statement but verified it
on being questioned hv a representative
of The Record.

Mr T N Griffin has pulled down

Mr E R Kodgers is arranging to

He will probably locate his mill a

has by perseverance an 1 cIom? attention
built up a very business

Mr C F Flowers left last Wednesday
tor Appalachicola, Fla.,
near which place he will operate
a turpentine farm. When he will
have "rotten ihinjrs in readine>s
his family will join him. We
re?rret the departure ol this family
and will be triad to see their return.
Mr Flowers informs us that
he will certainly come back here
to live alter a lew years.
We understand thai Mr J Q
Harrell has sold the large lot. next
Mrs F U Rodger*' to Mrs lveiff of
Forestville, and that Mrs Keiff
will at once bnild a large hotel
which she will run. This is cer
tainly good news and we hope it is
entirely true. We are sadly in
need of an ample and modern
hotel. The present accomodations
for travelers are inadequate, and
we know of nothing for which
' I
there is a better opening her.*
than for a hotel.
Mr J F Ktckenbaker has returned
from a visit to jiis old
home in Barnwell. Mr Rickenhaker
and Mr 8 W Gowdy have
secured the McCotchen store,
next door to Messrs J S McClam
fe Co.'s, and will open up a stock
?f pnnrin therein. The first named
is a first rate young man, of good
business and social habits, and
Mr Gowdy, as everybody in this
section knows, is a man of sterling
qualities, thoroughly reliable and
very popular. They ought to
succeed and we believe they will.
Last Thursday morning, about
3 o'clock Wesley Burgess shot
George Lee with a pistol, inflicting
a wound from which the doctors
3ay he can not possibly recover,
rhe bullet entered the base of the
leek and ranged downward. The
shooting took place near Mr Jack
McKnight's which is about a half
nile from Bass' bridge. All the
parties are colored. Quite a
lumber of young negro men were

a quarrel with: one Harvey Le?
about a woman. Minkey Bur'_'e?. '
Wesley's brother, handed a pi>to J

Whereupon Wesley
tired al Harvey but lot George.
This is about the report that cant- 1
to us Irom an eye witness. i\ j
warrant was sworn out for We*ley
and Minkey^lttil the officer* have
not yet succeeded in finding them '
and it is said th.it they have goiu
to Florida, these are the same
men who shot Wheeler Ga-kiuabout
two years ago, lor which ihej
were committed to jail lor Severn
months out escaped punishment
by compromising the mutter.
The wounde 1 man hears a good
reputation. Something is certainly
needed in Williamsburg to
top the terrible flow of blood in
our county.
A MARVELOUS IN VENTION.
Wonders never cease. A machine
has been invented that will eut. paste
and hang wall paper. The Held of inventions
and discoveries seems to be
unlimited. Notable among great discoveries
is I)r King's New Discovery
for consumption. It has done a world
of good for weak lungs and saved many
a life. Thousands have u=ed it aud
conquered Grip, Bronchitis, i'licuiuoiiia
and Consumption. Their general verdict
is: "It's the best and most reliable
medicine for throat and lung troubles."
Every 50c and $1.00 buttle is guaranteed
