iThe Educational Outlook.
C v^lu.Monday's election the roice of
fife people spoke with no uncertain
Atones as to their desire for better ed^v'ucational
facilities. It was expected
that a majority of Totes would be
| east for the issuing of bonds, but
* even those most sanguine of success
. aoarcely hoped for a victory so over>
whelming. We do not know who
east the two votes that prevented the
fmAi heinor tairried uuani
r monsly; but we do know?and it is
a fact that should be gratifying to
_^all?that some who would not vote
affirmatively on the bond issue (or
mayhap could not do so conscietitionsly),
preferred not to exercise
* v their right of suffrage rather tlum to
> put themselves on record as opposi
ing the cause of education.
i
The main argument of the oppositioa
seemed to be that the bond issue
would necessitate increased taxation.
In their letter.published last
week the school trustees showed
plainly enough, it seems to us, that
as long as the town shares the dispensary
profits the revenue from
this source will be sufficient to meet
the interest and gradually pay the
debt; and unless some unforeseen
condition arises it is safe to say that
the near building will not require a
cent in the way of additional taxation.
When this proves to be the
case we have no doubt that the small
diaenting minority will come to
agree with the majority that Monday's
election was an event fraught
with richest blessings to our town
and county. *
The new building and the adranced
grades' contemplated will
raise the standard'of the school and
give ^n impetus to education that
will result in nntold good. Instead
of lagging hopelessly behind our
eoaunnnity bids fair to become an
5 kir on
CUHUKIUUBI WCUICI Ollliuuuum wj an
atmosphere of cnltnre and refinement
In good time we niaj look
_ for a first class "school and town
Bfem^\and a flourishing lyceum
coarse. All these things will contribute
to an intellectual awakening
that cannot fail to affect wholesomely
the future of the town, ^uch a
community is good to live in and
# ? < " *?
people will be attracted here to educate
their childreu. Everr year
hundreds of dollars are being spent
to educate boys and girls from Williamsburg
county :: whose parents
would naturally prefer to have them
fep re pared for college nearer home.
The geographical situation of
*^T?ingstree gives it a large territory
on every hand from which to draw
patronage to a first class school.
The ptople of the town have spoken
1
for such qn institution and the time
seems ripe tpi*'. ;its . establishment.
Let.as all t'OrlHogether in harmony
to make the most of the opportunity
that i#b#fore us.

The Law's Lesson.
"I hope thi will do South Carolina
good; I hope my case may cause
other young meu to halt when they
are faced with trouble, and that it
will be a lesson that will cause oth.
eis to try to avoid my fate."
So spoke Lonnie C Myers, a man
of good family and means while in
jail at Kingstree awaiting transportation
to the penitentiary to serve a
life sentence for murder. A recommendation
to mercy by the jury
saved him from the gallows. Myers
slew his brother-in-law in a fight
which he precipitated.
Unquestionably the fate of this
young man will "do South Carolina
good." The law punishes not for
revenge, but for example; that those
who fail to respect its majesty
through reverence may be forced to
obedience through fear. The verdict
of the jury iu Williamsburg
j county takes a husband from a wife.
I a father from four children, but in
.
i deterring the murderously inclined
not only in that county but elsewhere
in the State, it may stand between
a dozen wqmen and widowhood;
save scores,of children from
becoming fatherless,.
Williamsburg is not is not the
only county which has decreed that
the horrible crims of blood guiltiness
shall be punished; that murderers
shall suffer for their sins. Colleton,
Florence, Lexington and Bamberg
liave set their seal on this condem,
i
nation. Within the last 60 days
three white men have been-convicted
of murder?two of them will serve
serve life sentences, having been
recommended to mercy, and one will
1 ml _i!?, ?
nang. .iiirve uiucib wuuticu w
manslaughter within the same period
have beeu sentenced to terms in the
penitentiary varying from five to
fifteen years.
When the criminally inclined, the
irresponsible, the depraved, the men
with murder in their hearts know
that the law will be enforced, that
justice wilt be tlone, they will respect
hnmau life.?The Columbia State..

THANKS THE SAGE FOR ANSWERING
QUESTIONS
Thinks the M/riid? of Solar Systems
in the Great Im-ncnsity of Spies
were Creatsd for Our Little Earth.
Editor Pounty Record:?
Please allow me space in your
paper lo thank the "Sage of
Possum Fork'' for answering my
questions which he has faiihfiillv
done. He savs the Bible is I he
revealed word .of God and we ad
admit 1 hat the account of the creation
was written bv Moses and*
no one will deny Moses as being
good authority?Luke xvt: 36.
Well, now, I believe the Hib'e
as it is written. What I understand'
of it I know to be true; and
what part I do not understand I
have faith enough to believe. So
I rake Moses' account of the creation
as being correct, what all
geologist* may say to the contrary
not withstanding.
What jnillioii-; and millions o
1 > .
worlds does the "Sage" refer In?
Is <t the dun, moon and stars? If
?>, the earth was created before
them and while thev may l>e
larger the earth is the oldest and
they were created for the benefit
of the earth.
"A - thousand years in Thv
sight are but a watch in the night."
It i.+ not reasonable to apply that
({notation to the special time of
creation, tiod is unchungaMe
and all powerful, and lie could
have spoken into existence everything
that He made in one day
of tweotv-lour hours, as easily a>
he could in six days and three ot
tliein ot unaccountable length.
But in His uisdom lie saw lit
to use six days in the creation.
The, ways ot' the Lord at.e part
finding out.
It might have been possible
that those shells were deposited
during Noah's flood, or they may
have been created to form a part
of the earth.
The earth, as we know, is not
.composed of mud alone. It includes
metals* and minerals of
various kinds. These were created
for the use of man. The
shells at Alison's might have been
created,to take their place of usefulness
just the same as I he gold
of Alaska, the silver of Colorado,
the kaiuit of Germany, the alum
,? " '
of tieorgefown or the sand in
Possum Fork.
The 4iSage" asks me one
question: 4*Do I think it was
a good thing to cut down the holiuess
tent?M I do not' think it a
good thing to cut it down nor to
pot it up; nor do I think it will
ever result in any good when it is
up and a great m uiv will agree
with me outside of Possum Fork.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dlscourages
and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
tand cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidneys
are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kidneys.
If the child urin
. . ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
sttp should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
Recommendations as to County Jail
and Public Roads.
State of South Caiolina, Williams*
rt
ourg uouiuv.
To the Hon G W Gage, Judge
presiding at the spring term of
court, we, the Grand Jurv, beg to
return this our presentment.
We have passed on bills, twelve in
number, which were handed ns by
our worthy solicitor, giving each our
careful consideration and returning
nine true bills and three no bills.
Th*e examination of the county
officers we have deferred for the
present, a committee of three, composed
of S M Askins, W T Wilkins
and Oliu Epps, with H G Askins,
Esq., as expert being appointed to
make a recess examination.
We have visited the county jail
and find it neatly kept and the
prisoners well cared for. But for
the safe-keeping of the prisoners
we recommend that steel cells he
put in the juil in place of the present
iron cages.
We have noticed that the fence
around the court yard is in a very
dilapidated condition and we recommend
that an iron fence be built;
also the plastering on the front
gable of the court house is in bad
condition and recommend that it be
fixed.
Our attention has been called to
the condition of the roads throughout
the county, which are reported
to be in very bad condition, and we
recommend that the proper officia'a
take immediate steps to have the
roads put in better shape. >
The petition of R T Iluggins,
asking for certain redress and pro
tection from a commercial agency,
was returned to hint, it being beyond
our jurisdiction to take action
on said petition.
We extend our sincerest thanks to
your Honor for your charges of the
law and for courtesies show us,
also to the solicitor for valuable instructions
given us.
Respectfully submitted,
S. M. Askiks.

"I was in an awful condition.
My *kin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continually
In hack and sides, no appetite,
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Then !
was advised to use Electric Bitters; to
my great joy, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. 1 continued
their use for three weeks, anil am now
a well man. I know thev robbed the
