A Statementj While we realize the fact that | the paper we have been sending out recently is not up to the : mark to which our subscribers j are entitled, the short-comings apparent have been due to cirjcumstances bdyond our control. With a volume of business that has entirely outgrown our an1 tiquated plant the public canj not realize the difficulties we 'have labored under in getting 1 out any paper at all. 1 Time and again we have been ; "up against" obstacles seemingly insurmountable in the way of issuing the paper, so that we j j really feel that we deserve con-; j gratulation in never having j missed a single issue during the j seven years covering the period . of the present management. Last week we placed an order ' for ?1000 worth of new material J !?nracticallv a new outfit?and 1 1* j when we get installed in our new office we feel safe in promising a bigger and better newsI paper than we have ever given our patrons. Meantime we be speak little indulgence from our readers, and withal we ask that . I those who owe The Record ; ! anything will come forward and land help us to meet the heavy i | expense incurred in purchasing * i all this new material. , i Letter to M. J. Porter. I Kingstree, S. C. t mi a. f j _ \ uear ?>ir: * uiree-quaner is a good phrasejfor the best out'sideof Devoe. Devco is the standard; mark it 100. The next-best?there are 1 several not far apart?are three | quarter paints; you may mark 1 I them 75 to Devoe's 100. 1 The bulk of the paints in mar- j i ket are 40 or 50 or 60; a few are I I better than 60; a few are worse I than 40. How do they act? They cover I from one to three-quarters as , ! much as Devoe; and they last from one to three-quarters as ; long as Devoe. What are they worth? The same rule don't hold; it costs J more to put-on some paints than } they are worth; they are not , | worth anything; the "put-on" i costs two or three times as much ; as the paint.

WILLIAMSBURG'S PROSPERITY. 3utlook for Our Town and County Brighter Than for Years. The following letter, clipped1 from the Columbia State of November 3, was written by the < president of the Bank of Kingstree in response to a letter of in- i quiry sent to all the bankers of! the State by the paper referred j l- TIL i i r :in?u to. x his idler spccins iui uncu as to the prosperous condition of our town and county. Dear Sir: Replying- to your favor of 19th inst., beg to say that Williamsburg county is advancing in material prosperity along with the rest of the State. 3ood crops, with satisfactory prices for cotton have stimulated ousiness along all lines. The Bank of Kingstree has . 60 per :ent more money on deposit now than at the same date last year, notwithstanding that two new banks have opened in the county. The notes due the bank are being paid when due, Liany before they mature. The intensive system of farming is developing the possibilities of our soil to a wonderful extent. Truck farmers and strawberry growers lave good prices and have contributed largely to the prosperity in the county. Tobacco growls who have handled their rrops carefully,, are realizing food 'prices?in many instances paving better tlian lu cent cotton. The outlook for our town ind county is brighter than for pears, and on every side are visible signs of substantial progress. Yours truly, D. C. Scott, President Bank of Kingstree. DISASTROUS WRECKS.
