A Business League.
In most wideawake towns much
JHSk .
has been done to promote material
development and commercial expansion
by the forming of "business
leagues," whose province is, in geno??ol
tr? ailvprtisp to the world the
peculiar advantages of the community
that they represent, and to
' work together harmoniously and m.telligently
to encourage the estab
lishment of industrial enterprises
.both by home and "foreign" capital.
By studviug the conditions of their
town and county such a body of
men would be prepared to furnish
off-hand and in detail such infovmtiOn
as business men with capital would
naturally want before serious y en.
tertaining the idea of investing
their money in a community unknown
to them. In many instances
these organizations take the nam*
of "young men's business leagues,"
but the matter of name is of small

eligible who earnestly desires to
piomote the growth and welfare of
the town.
Already Kingstree is stretching
itself, as though awakening from a
long, lethargic slumber, and the
signs everywhere indicate its upbuilding
and material advancement.
The term, "full grown town."!
which has been jeeringly applied to
this municipality, is already a mis- i
nomer,of which fact evidence isvisi- j
ble on every hand. L has also been :
r " -l !
said that nature mis done everything!
.for Kingstree and that scarcely anything
else has been doue. However
true such an observation might
have been in the past, times have
chanced and there is now in the'
very atmosphere the breath of prog- ,
ress. Already we have much here
to attract new-comers, if it were
but known to outsiders. It is the
work of the business league to exploit
the advantages and resources
that the town enjoys. The time
is ripe for such an organization and
we hope to see our business men so
interested that it may soon take tangible
form. We leave the subject
open and invite discussion from
anyone who is interested in this
most important matter.

THE KINGSTREE HARDWARE CO
|
Closes lis First Year of Successful
Business Life
The Kings tree Hardware Co, one
of our infant enterprises, lias just *
concluded their first year in our *
town, and we are glad to learn that (
they are pleased with the receptiou "
and patronage with which they
have been favored by the people of
Kings tree and Williamsburg county.
At their annual meeting receutly a
satisfactory dividend was declared
and all the old officers were re-elected
for the ensuing year. Having
obtained a firm foothold here their
prospects are bright for a permanent
and successful future.
We refer to this company as an
"infant" enteiprise, but as a matter
of fact it lias grown in one year
to be a large business concern, occupying
two good sized stores and a
ware-house. A representative of
Thk County Record dropped in
yesterday to secure an order for
job work (for they have all their I
job printing done at Thk Record |
office and are also liberal advertisers),
and it is really surprsiug to
note the large quantities of roer- a
chandise they buy direct from the
manufacturers. Our representative
was shown a solid car-load of wire
they have just received and invoices
for a car-load of stoves now en
route, and also four car-loads of
other goods?lime, cement and piping?nukiug,
all told, six solid carloads
of merchandise on hand and in transit.
J
Truly this speaks well for a comparatively
new Kingstree enterprise. |
