DOESN'T RESPECT OLD AGE
It's shameful when youth fails to
show proper respect for old age, but
just the contrary in the ease of Dr
King's New Life Pills. They cut oft
maladies no matter how severe and
irrespective of okl age. Dyspepsia,
Jaundice, Liver, and Constipation
all yield to this perfect Pill, 2Ac,

Store.
Death of Mrs Melinda Ganey.
Mrs Melinda Ganey, the aged
mother of Mrs Olive Flowers,
died at the home of the latter in

interred in the Williamsburg
cemetery on Saturday morning.
Mrs Ganey was born and
reared in Darlington county.
She leaves, besides her daughter,

I SWEEPING REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Yesterday's Returns Indicate that 32 <

; colleg-e against 151 for Parker 1

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. ,

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.
Yours truly,

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.
