Its Importance to the Lommunity Cannot be Overestimated. The local home printed newspaper, if conducted on proper lines, is the best friend and most necessary institution local business men can have. Such a newspaper is ever ready to advance home interests, and the advancement of home interests is of vital importance to local business men. It is evident, then, that a home printed newspaper, un- 1 biased aDd impartial, is the friend of the business men of the town. These are facts that must be admitted if given a moment's thought. Business men may have their personal likes and dislikes tor the publisher himself, but the paper should have their good will and encouragement at all times. It is necessary to the success of not only the paper, but to the town and business men. It should not be necessary for ?v. ~ 1.~ ?t tiiC JSUUUDlJei IU lie a W dRC VI nights to watch business to keep it from going away from town.

No business man has a vestige of argument to put to the mail order patron if he himself sends job printing away from a home printed newspaper. Every time a job of printing is sent away from home the local paper is antagonized. We ask, can business men afford to antagonize an unbiased home printed >klAn/p f Vin 1 mno pdpcr ui out o LUU^ mi nutD dow used by The Record? We do not threaten to become antagonistic in return, but we do call the attention of the business men to their duty in this regard and ask them to be considerate. In fact, follow the Golden Rule. Your home printed paper will never antagonize the interests of the community in which it is located. If our business men want a newspaper as good as the best in the State now is the time to give it encouragement. We promise to do our part.

Kingstree's line new hotel is not yet quite completed, but enough so for occupation by the lessee, Mr H Van Keuren, and quite enough so to have Koon ih o cronp nitrht. the 5th inst., of one of the most brilliant balls ever given in the history of Kingstree. The spacious dining room, beautifully decorated and brilliantly lighted, was for the time converted into the ball room, and to splendid music furnished by select musicians from the Artillery band at Fort Moultrie, gallant men and beau, tiful maids united to chase the glowing hours with flying feet until the paling stars warned the revellers to seek their belated couches. It was a sight to do the heart good, innocent youth abandoning itself to the ^ /vi Am/) wKn f spill 1/1 liiC uauvCi amu n uai more innocent and healthful exercise can be indulged in than the dance, properly conducted and carried out, will all the proprieties observed, as this was? At about 1 o'clock during the evening a lull in the dancing was filled in most delightfully with a service of coffee, chocolate, sandwiches and salad. Then on again with the dance while "eyes spake love to eyes which spake again." The dining room of the hotel, where the ball was given, is splendidly adapted both for the dance and for its original purpose. It is forty by sixty feet and afforded ample space for about thirty-five couples without crowding or jostling.
