An Oil Mill for Kingstree.
'
Quietly und without parade or
ostentation Kingstree is steadily
forging to the front. For some
'
tiraey without noise or excitement,
several of our leadiug business men
bare been working up an oil mill
with'the result that last week, before
we went to press, enough capital
had been subscribed or was
available to build and e<] uip a twenty
ton cotton oil mill* and a modem
fjsCcln of gins.
f?&r.
- It. is useless to argue the benefit
1
of such an enterprise to oar town
and county. Year after year enough
cotfon seed has been shipped oat of
the onanty and bought again by the
farmers in the shape of meal and
f jnilla^r the freight alone to pay a
fair dividend on the capital invested
\ ' in an oil mill. In addition to this
ft will bring the consumer and the
producer together and keep at home
thousands of dollars that have gone
elsewhere* to help build up other
towns and counties.
Jn'ow that the projeet has taken business
shape we are informed that the
promoters will soon make application
for a charter in order that no
time may be lost before commencing
work on the building, in order
that it may be completed and the
*
machinery in place by the opening

Five Dollars Reward.
Tht? inquiry of ."School Boy" concerning
the history of the Confederate
flag tonches upon a subject of
vital interest to every true Southerner
ana especially to us who lire in the
.proud commonwealth that first declared
for State sovereignty and the
right to lecede and set up a govern
i. u__
' OlOUV W U? WW II.
. The atorr of the Confederate
flag-^-Che- emblem of the Lost
Cause?whose folds were ensan
gained by the blood of our heroes on
'M hundred battle fields in the long
sad bloody struggle that followed
secession, should be familiar to
every boy and girl in our schools;
but the innocent inquiry of "School
Boy" indicates a sad lack of
knowledge on this most important
subject.
Ia his letter our young friend
{fades the blame where it justly belongs.
"In only one history," he
says, "can he tind anything at all
about the flag/' and that information
seems to consist only of a small
cut without satisfactory information
as to the significance of its design.
And yet we boast of using in our
chicle text books by Southern authors!
.. .How many children of the aver^wre
achool age know anything at all
. %jbout j tfye Confederate flag? The
i, i * '
writer has nerer'swi in anv of the
# *
: '
m
\ y+
text I>?* ks uiore than a passing
mention of the subject; hence tin*
fault lies not with The children hut
with the makers of their histories.
To encourage research in tins direction
Thk kttxhti* will give a
prize of live dollars cash for the best
essay on "The Confederate Klag"subniitted
to lis by any school hoy or
girl prior to May 1. This contest
is without any conditions except
that the writer must he under sixteen
years of age and the papers
should not exceed two hundred
words in length. The prize essay
will be published in The Record
and also the four next best in their
order of merit according to our
judgment, should as many as five
papers be submitted.
Public Opinion Approves.
Because of his refusal to grant the
- * ? j i __ r
application ior nail mauc uy lormer
Lieutenant Governor James 11
Tillman through his counsel public
opinion is pronounced in approval
of Chief Justice Y J Pope. The
hearing, which was continued from
Newberry, took place in Columbia
last Thursday and numerous affidavits
were introduced to show, on the
one hand, that the killing of Editor
Gonzales was done in cold blood and
with malice; and on the other hand,
that Tillman acted in self-defense,
believing that his life was in jeopardy.
Under the law and the evidence
it is generally agreed that Tillman
could not have been admitted to bail;
yet there were many who freely predicted
that bail would be granted.
In this case the newly elected Chief
Justice had au opportunity to rise
above partizan feeling and he has
shown himself equal to the occasion.
The ruling of the Chief Justice
does not imply that Tillman will
be found guilty of murder; that is a
question for the jury to decide. Jt
does mean, however, that the sucnoaa/te
lamented MrTviT is not
VtO?VI IV VIIV -
unmindful of the grave responsibility
of the high office he holds nor
of the traditions handed down by a
long line of distinguished predecessors.

'What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that ^Dr. Kilmer's Swamp

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneyt, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
