r * ? # =5 Notice A recent ruling of the postoffice department requires publishers of weekly newspapers to ] discontinue all subscriptions j that are one year or more behind. We are allowed until April 1 to comply with this require- ^ ment, after which time all sub- J scriptions not paid to April 1 1907 (or beyond that date) will be cut off. We have no choice ! in'the matter, being compelled ' to conform to the regulations of i the postofflce department. i Now, we ask all our subscrib- | ers who are in arrears and want the paper continued, to come up and 'settle their accounts before April 1, while those delin- , quents who do not care to have ] the paper any more will confer * a tavor to notify us and at the 1 same time pay what they owe ] for oast service. We ask that i prompt attention be given to . this matter, as there is but little time for delay. * Local and Personal, I Welcome, Sir Knights. ' The county convention meets < Monday. i Is your subscription paid in ' advance? 1 Mr S C Godwin of Lake City paid us a pleasant visit Monday. 1 We are jrrateful to our friend. 1 Capt Constine, f*r a nice mess 1 of Black river fish, t LeRoy Lee, Esq., was in Col* ( umbia on professional business \ several days this week. j After May 15 all subscriptions * not paid one year in advance 1 will be charged $1.25 a year. i Miss Barbara Jacobs attended a leap year ball in George- * town Wednesday of last week. 1 Clerk of Court Bntton has the 1 pension money on hand and is . ready to disburse same to those . entitled to it. Mr W G Thomas, who has been attending- the Charleston Medical college, is back again at his post in Dr Gamble's pharmacy. Quite a severe gale blew Sunday night here, but so far as we have heard no damage was done, except some fencing was blown down. i Mr and Mrs L W Gilland and 1 daughter, Jane, returned from ; Charleston last evening-. They ; were accompanied by little Miss 1 Louise Sherfesee. The entertainment given at the Thomas opera house by the graded school pupils last Thursday night was a very pleasant affair and quite a tidy sum was realized as the proceeds. Dr D C Scott,president of the Bank of Kingstree, and Cashier L H Fairey, also Cashier E C Epps, of the Bank of Williams- ( burg, took in the Bankers' asso- , elation in Columbia last week. , An elaborate and attractive programme has been arranged for the entertainment of the Knights of Pythias next Tuesday.

On account of sickness on our force we are still short one printer and of course we cannot jet up the usual amount of type. We are trying to get another printer,but good ones are scarce ind hard tb get to stick. We have over $1,000 owing on subscription,as was disclosed by 3ur recent investigation of our mailing list. In this department we have been very lenient but hereafter whoever reads this paper must pay for it. Quite a number of our subscribers have responded to the statements recently sent out,but many others have not. The expense of sending out these reminders has been about $15, so please let us have the amount iue as soon as possible. The hearing in the Williamsburg dispensary case came off 3n Monday,the 27th inst.,before Governor Ansel, Messrs Bass j n l i . t J ma rarKer naving Deen servea with notice to show cause on that iay why they should not be reno ved from office. Governor A.nsel has reserved his decision n the matter. Last week we stated in our eport of the Cunningham-Munlerlyn wedding that the officiatng minister was Rev E B Ervin )f Kingstree, when we should iave said the Rev J C Chandler )f Enoree, an uncle of the bride. iVe knew better, but it was just one of those unaccountable irrors that in the rush of getting up "copy" sometimes creep n without rhyme or reason. We have received clippings :rom various newspapers sent is by our friends for publication that would aggregate some nine >r ten columns. We would De very glad to publish them all Dut owing to our crippled force, t is impracticable. There is- a :ertain amount of local matter :hat must be "set up" and with jnly two printers at work that :axes our capacity to the utnost limit. Klngstree Dem. Club Reorganizes.

Once r while attending a banquet he was c assigued to a young lady who did not n know of his affliction. In conse- D quence conversation was found to be e somewhat difficult. In a burst of ^ enthusiasm the young lady inquired, ? "Bishop, do you like bananas?" v At first the prelate did not an- v swer, but upon the question being a repeated he admitted confidentially, 11 "I must say I still prefer the old jj fashioued night-gown.
