A Card.
Editor Connty Record:?
The people of Kingstree have i
seen fit to elect me, without so-;
licitation on my part, to the po- ,
sition of intendant of this town,
and I thank them for this unsought
honor. Their action in
this election indicates that they
have some confidence in me,
and it shall be my endeavor, as
far as circumstances shall per
mit, to serve them in a way that
will show my appreciation of
their good opinion. I accept
the position fully realizing that 1
I am to receive no reward for
my services, but perhaps con- demnation.
But with duty as 1
my guide and the welfare of the 1
town and its people as my goal
I shall go forward with the 1
other members of the council in an
effort to conduct the muni- 1
cipal affairs in a progressive, ^
business-like and economical
way. I have no promises to 1
make, and can only in a general ]
way assure my icuow tmscus i
that I shall perform my duties 1
as best I can when all the circumstances
are considered. \
Respectfully, j
Chas W. Stoll.

At the supper Tuesday night
[ iven at the Star warehouse for

Mr Toney White of St Clairs- (

Mr W W Kennedy, of the
lebron neighborhood was in ,
own Friday.
Mr R E Morris has been electd
principal of our town school, j
le accepted the position and en*
ered upon the discharge of his
uties last Monday. Mr Morris
s so well known in this section
s a maD and as a teacher that '
t is unnecessary to say anything '
bout him in these respects. We 1
rish him abundant success in '
he position iust assumed.
Mr Mason Brunson, who is '
iow traveling agent for that
reatest of Southern dailies, 1
^he News & Courier, spent Mon- ^

Mr Arthur Jones went toFlor- j
nee Monday night as special 1

SWG Shipp, Esq., of Flor- .
nee spent Monday night in j

Tuesday.
As there seems to be doubt in he
minds of a good many as to j
he time when our next term of j
:ircuit court meets, it will per- ,
laps be of public interest to give
he date. Court will convene on i
donday, April 18, and will be in i
;ession two weeks, if so much
ime be necessary. This date ;
uay be relied upon as correct.
\.n act was passed at the last
ession of the General Assembly
hano-inir the tirrif* for the hold
r. ?ft
ng of our courts', but that act
loes not -go into effect until
V-ugust 1st, 1904, consequently
>ur spring and summer terras
or this year are not affected,
rat remain as fixed by the act
)f 1903. The summer term will
>e held June 27.
Having had several inquiries
ibout the public school libraries
ict. which was passed at there
cent session of the General As-:
sembly, I think that it will be of
general interest to give the subsfanrp
r?f that law Omittiticr
details, the act provides that
whenever the patrons of a public
school raise $10, the county
board of education must contribute
$10 and the State board $10
for the purpose of establishing
a library for such school. This
money, $30 in all,is then used by
the trustees of the library in
buying books, which books must
be selected from a list adopted
by the State board. Not more
than twelve such libraries may
be established in any county in
any one year, and the county
board must designate the schools
for which libraries may be established
during each year,
rhat is, if the patrons of more
than twelve schools raise the
specified amount, $10, the county
board shall declare which
h\rohro ctinll criv??n lihrnri#?K
L.1.W.V, *
One library may exchange books
with another, but changes shall
aot be made oftener than once
in six months. These are, I believe,
the leading features of the
act.
Editor Wolfe was in our town
bright and early Monday morning.
The truckers are getting in
quantities of crates and cups
preparatory to the opening of
the strawberry season.
Mr N L Overstreet has pur:hased
the lot between Mr J H
Blackwell's and Mr E W Yates'
residences.
When a young lady goes to
work for herself she usually revives
an invitation to knock off
and keep house, and we notice
that the invitation is very often
accepted.
The news of the death of R
Means Davis was received here
with genuine sorrow. A good
many of our people knew him
personally, and all by general
repute. The writer feels that in
Prof Davis'going away he has
lost one of his best friends and
most highly respected teachers.
Prof Davis was one of God's
aoblemen, a gentleman and a
scholar.
Mr J C McElveen says he
wants to extend his hearty
thanks to the people of this town
ind community tor tne spienaia
patronage they have given him
since he came among us. He is
gratified?almost surprised. He
^ught not to be. In the first
place The Record gave him a
jood "send-off" when he opened
up. Again, when a first rate
man, a straight-as-a-shingle fellow
like Cleve McElveen comes
to this place all the people are
gflad and give him their encouragement
and that in no uncertain
manner.
In what respect is The County
Record like wine? Improves
with age. (We may be pardoned
for suggesting that it is well
re(a)d; that it exhilarates without
intoxicating; that it takes
work to produce it; that it is a
luxury and ofttimes a necessity,
and finally, that, as "in vinoveritas,"
there's truth in itPrinter's
Devil). W. L. B.
Card of Thanks.
The family of the late Mr J S
Howie desire to express our
hearty thanks to all our friends
and neighbors for their many
kindnesses shown us during the
illness of the one who has gone
3 way. We assure them that we
appreciate their tender assistance
and comfort.
