A man is sometimes better known
by the company he doesn't keep
than by the company he keeps.
It takes a liberal and broadminded
man to condone in another
the faults that he recognizes
in himself.

The Kmgstree graded school
has issued a very creditable invitatioQ
to the commencement
exercises to take place May 17-20.
We have seen quite a number of
similar invitations this season, and
that of the KingstTee school com,
pares favorably with any of them.
And the beauty of it is that the
woik was done at home. The
Record has donated many columns
of space in boosting the
the school and we are pleased to
note the spirit of reciprocity and
appreciation on the part of the
young ladies comprising the invitation
committee, who rather than
patronize a "foreign" coucern that
* * - _1 L
<loes noc care a rap uwul vuc
school beyond the immediate profit
accruing from the present order,
chose to patronize the home
paper that has stood for the
Kingstree graded school first, la3t
and all time.

Occasionally we have some one
to suggest to us that we do not
ha8tle to get news when something
occurs in bis community,
probably fifteen or twenty miles
distant, that does not appear in
our columns. Well, if that be
the criterion we must plead guilty.
A country newspaper is uot equipped
with facilities for news
gathering when it requires sending
out. special traius for reporters
or despatch boats across the
briuy deep at one dollar a year
subscription price. If the people
of a community really want a
notice in this newspaper of any
particular eveut surely they could
find some oue capable of giving
the salieut features and we would
gladly do me rest, dih wneu u
comes to having reporters cover
every inch of territory through
which The Record circulates,
when the inc)me of the paper
at best is barely enough to sustain
life, as Artemus Ward would
say, "This is 2 mutch."

verdict was that everything wai
nicely carried out, and this our first
annual commencement was a success
for which our worthy principal anc
assistant, Misses Rosa Graham anc
Maud Sharpe, should be given muct
credit.
Of course there were some mistakes,
but they were not noticed bv
many and not such as to mar th<
enjoyment of the appreciative audi

Edison Phonograph
In The Home.
What one thing is it that sums up one's idea of festivity?
It is music. Music draws one to the opera, to the concert
hall, to the dance, to the country fair. Where is music,
there people gather. Its appeal is universal.
The Edison Phonograph brings all this music into the
home. It has within itself and produces on demand, most
of theamusements which draw people away from home.
The Roman name for fireplace was "focus," the spot
wheie the rays of family life were gathered. The Edison
g Phonograph is the focus of family entertainment. It gathers
the members of the household?the family and its gueststogether
to be entertained. , '
One of its strongest features is its versatility. It is not
gauged to any one particular taste.
To it music means everything from a brass band to a
Wagner orchestra from a comic song to masterful rendition
of grand opera selections. r
It caters to every taste, whim or mood of all who 4look
tc it for entertainment and diversion, T
We Sell Edison Phonographs.
