Last week the town of iViO find vicinity seem to have beeh threatened with a face fidt, which happily, we udders taiid, has been averted. We have not been able to ascertain definitely the cause of the trouble, but it appears that ill-feeling* between the races grew out of the summary whipping of a negro for alleged insolence to a white man. Certain persons charged with taking the law into their hands were arrested, but the case was compromised between the part* ies involved and peace lias been restored for the time being, at least. v Two WQliamstarg Boys Atteutioa is invited to the message to our readers from Messrs Cunningham and Dove in their laage 4,ad." which appears in this issue. These gentlemen are now associated in a clothing and furnishing store in Darlington and are making a success of their business that is both creditable to themselves and gratifying to their friends.

IN PRAISE OF CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY. "Allow me to giv9 you a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mr John Hamlett, of Eagle Pass Texas. "I suffered one week with bowel trouble and took : all kinds of medicine without getting any relief, when my friend, Mr C Johnson a merchant here, advised rae to take this remedy. After taking onedose I f?lt greatly relieved and when I had taken the third dose was entirely cured. I thank j you from the bottom of my heart j for putting this great remedy in the 1 hands of mankind." For sale by i I)r D C Scott, Kingstree; l.ake City | Drug Co., Lake City; Dr \V S Lynch Scrantoa. Persistent BurglarsThree times in four nights last week DrDC Scott's drug store was entered by burglars, viz., Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Why the burglars were so persistent in their repeated depredations upon this particular building?for to the ordinary robber a drug store offers nearly as little temptation as a print shop?is not very clear; yet despite the apparent lack of incentive, the building shows unmistakable signs of thr-AA Kiircrlarinns entrances bv two different windows, all of which were effected, it appears, with small difficulty and no unpleasant incident to disturb the even tenor of their way. As the result of these visitations there are missing from the store about two dollars, taken from the cash drawer, a Smith & Wesson pistol and several bottles of cologne. Other merchandise, such as patent medicines, calomel and porous plasters, might have been taken along for good measure, but not in quantity sufficient to be missed. But whatever might have been the motive, it is a fact worthy of serious consideration that we have in our community these bold and defiant robbers who can commit three burglaries almost in successive nights and go their way unmolested and without a clue to their indentity. Is any build ing in the town safe should they take a fancy to posess themselves of the contents? This is a question worth considering, it seems to us. Doings at Dock. Dock, August 30:?Crops in this section are very much damaged by the continued rains, especially cotton. Miss Jeddie Nesmith is visiting relatives in Kingstree at this writing.

In conformity with his custom of several years' standing- our popular and progressive merchant, W T Wilkins, offered a premium of fifteen cents a pound for the first bale of cotton of the new crop brought to Kingstree i this season. Last Friday Mr Hugh McCutchen complied with the conditions and brought in from his farm near Indiantown postoffce a bale weighing 635 pounds. Mr Wilkins was as good as his word and exchanged for the bale that now occupies a nrnminpnt iincitinn in front of his wholesale store the sum of $95.25 in good U. S. currency. On Saturday following, Mr T J Hogan of Greelyville sent in a bale to compete for the prize, but owing to the delay in getting the cotton ginned he found that he was ju9t a day too late. Whose Faalt is This? Editor County Record: On last Saturday, August 20, the mail from Rhems and Dock that went up came back and then had to lie over till Monday. The mail from Rhems and the mail from Kingstree meet at Indiantown P. 0., and each driver turns back, so the mail from Kingstree went back there. Now, Mr Editor, I think someVvtw/Jtt cVirtiilri suffer for such con IA/VIJ u>Mvr%?>%* ? duct, as this is not the first time this thing has happened and unless some action is taken in the matter it will happen again.

Mr W P Stack of Elloree visited friends in Kingstree several ' days recently. Mr Stack, who is J now a prominent merchant in his adopted home, was reared in this county and his return was after an absence of fifteen years. During that period he said the town has grown so much as to be wholly unrecognisable as the Kingstree of his boyhood days. There were only a few buildings that seemed familiar and most of the people he knew were gone. Mr Stack appeared to be much gratified at the enterprise and progress that the old lethargy he remembered had given nlace to. and as an earnest of I - - W his intention to keep in touch with the town he had the date of expiration of his subscription to The Record (whose weekly visits he regards as a message from his friends here) shoved up to the fall of 1906.
