As we stated at the time of the
robbery the $4000 belonging to the
Bank of Kingstree, which was stolen
from the postmaster's safe, was,
fully covered by insurance. We are'
glad to learn that the loss was paid
in full bv the insurance company on i
October 6.
The Bank of Kingstrpc in its >
quarterly statement published in j
this issue makes an admirable show-J
ing?the best, wo believe, it has ever j
made. This speaks well both for I
the management of the bank and the |
prosperous condition of Williams- !
burg county.

If any subscriber jn arrears be- j
come offended at receiving a state-!
ment of his dues to the extent ot j
wanting his copy of the paper discontinued,
we hope he will promptly
notify us to that effect, but don't
neglect to enclose the little amount
you.owe us before ordering the gaper
etopped. . ' ?
We have it from a reliable source
that the ACL people have determined
to remove the depot from its
present site to the crossing and that
work oil the new station building
will commence in the near future.
This will be a great convenience to
! the public generally and it is to be
hoped that the change of location
will soon bo effected.
Charlie MoClary, a thrifty and
well-co-do colored farmer at Lensou
post-office, had his dwelling burned
last Saturday. The origin of the
tire is not definitely known but it is
supposed to have been caused by rats
striking matches. The house was
probably worth $500 and the owner,
we learn, carried several hundred
dollars insurance.
It now costs us to issue The
Record more then double what it
aid two years ago. Printing material,
printers' wages, rent, labor and
everything else on the expense list
has gone up from 25 to 100'per cent.
The price of subscription is all that
has not gone up. That remains the
same, one dollar. Now don't yon
think you realy ought :o pay it?
A number of newspapers in the
Srate are raising the price of subscription
from $1.00 to $1:50 a year,
the cost of living and the expense of
publishing a paper having increased
at least 50 per cent. We have found
it impracticable in the present conditions
to more than clear expenses
and the price of this paper will prob
ably be advanced to $1.50 a year in
the near future. Now is the tiuie to
pay up and get a year ahead before
the price is raised.
Mraud Mrs Vibert W Graham of
Beusou, who have been spending the
Bummer in Asheville, returned home
Monday. While en-route they had
a thrilling adventure at JSaluua, N.
C., when coming down the mountain
side the brake on the eugine
failed to work and the locomotive
ran wild. By means of a safety
Bwitch the train was saved, but the
engine went over a 60 foot enbanknient
and was wrecked. The engineer
and fireman saved themselves
by jumping and thanks to the safety
switch none of the passengers was
hurt.
The cotton fields in many sections
have been ravaged by the "army"
worm and other insect pests so that
the plants are stripped bare of foliage.
The worms have even attacked the
leaves of trees adjoining cotton fields.

(liautown church. We have uot been
furnished with a report of the meeting,
but have no doubt that it was in
keeping with former similar occasions
when the camp-tires were re- j
lighted and the "boys of 'til" lived j
over in memory the scenes and incidents
of bivouac and battle-field.
Out of 1200 subscribers on our
list nearly one-half that number
owes us one dollar or more on subscription.
Unless we collect these
subscriptions in the near future we
cannot continue publishing the paper.
As we do not ease to shut up shop
yet awhile we make this appeal,
which, after a reasonable time has
elapsed without a response, will be
followed by-a personal request to
each individual who owes us. If
any hyper-sensitive" souls do not
care to receive a "dun" let them pay
up and we shall be glad to escape
the necessity of bestowing this little
attention. -v

TO BUILD UP YOUR TOWNHave
We Any Snch Constructive Factors'
in Kingstree?
To keep your town and community
progressive, be sure and
comply with the following- rules j
and success will be guaranteed: j
First of all, when you have an
opportunity let it be known (es- j
pecialiy to stnfhgers) what bad1
neighbors you have; never speak
of any good they ever did, but
ispeak oL&U the bad. If they do !
not possess enough bad to suffice
for the occasion, why just raanu-;
facture some and tell it as the;
I truth.

get the minister of the Gospel.
| Throw all the damper on him
and his work you possibly can;
he will usually pass it unnoticed,
apparently, and when you need !
his services he will meet your
call, go to your aid and render
such assistance and consolation
as he is able to give.
Third: Never speak well of
your merchants nor their stocks,
and if you need goods and can
pay for them, go to a neighboring
town for them. (Now if you
are not prepared to pay cash
and cau buy a few things that
you never expect to pay for,
such dealing at home is permissible
to a limited extent.)
Fouth: If you need insurance,;
fire, life, or accident, be sure
and not take it from your own
home agent, but wait until some
fellow comes along whom you
never saw before and in all probability
will never see again.
Give him your business, thus
keeping all the money you possibly
can away from your town
and community.
Finally: Kick against ever}7
enterprise that may be started
in your town. Abuse every body
but yourself. Say bad things
I jhniit vftiir crh,\nl Sr?#?ak liffht
JV?. UV?VV.. ?I
1 y about your churches. Run
'down the farmers in your neigh[
borhood and tell how thriftless
I they are, and how poor the land
is, and what an awful chance to
make a living. In short,
speak evil of every body
and everything except the
the "Yaller dog" and the loafer.

Your Home Paper.
" Your home paper never loses
interest in you." This possibly
you have not giveh a passing
thought. No matter if you like
the newspaper man or if he likes
you, if he is true to his profession
and publishes a paper for
the people he allows no personal
matters or petty spite to interfere
with his news gathering,
He may meet you as a stranger,
yet along with his best friends
chronicles your success and sorrows
wherever you may be, and
those who would otherwise for,
fi-L- 1 _ ^
get you are ever orien reminaea
of your existence by an item in
your home paper. Others may
deceive and defraud you, but
your home paper never forgets
j'ou. Possibly you do not deserve
decent" treatment by the
paper, but you get it just the
same, and if it should at any
time say things to cause your
fun to turn the wrong way, study
a moment and see if it has not
at various times said many nice
things for which you fail to give
it credit.?Portland Oregonian.

Attention, Fire Company.

citizens.of Kingstree to meet

18th, at Messrs Stoll A Stoll's
