THURSDAY. JULY 2. 1908.
As may be seen by reference to
the lists in this issue, more than
twenty charming young ladies are
visiting in our town. This is a
good sign?not only as evidence
of generous hospitality which
means so much in any comdiun-j
ity, but as an inspiration to the
community itself. It makes the;
boys keep clean faces and move!
with a steadier step and even the
old bachelors shake off some of
the seedy look and face the future
in a more hopeful mood.
Not the least among the assets
of a town is the host of its
young people and children. Kingstree's
army of more than three
hundred presents a picture of im
xnense possibility. Who is training
them, and for what? Many
parents, in cherishing the hope
that their children may succeed
when they get into the business
world, overlook the fact that they
are already in that world. The
business methods of childhood
largely determine those of manhood
and womanhood.
Begging Pardon.
Kiugstree is wonderfully favored
by Nature. Approaching the town
from any direction, one is simply
amazed at the natural beauty of
the elevated location and the high
and dry appearance of the place
in contrast with the low flat
lands of the suriounding country.
Witn a good fall to Black river
on the west and to the canal on
the east the natural conditions for
drainage are perfect. The giant
oaks and other magnificent shade
trees add their touch of charm
and enchantment, while the upspringing
of new stores, reeideuces
and a $30,000 school building,
are the sterner signs that the
day of small things is passing.
With just a little more care and
skill (there's plenty of money)1
we could have a "city beautiful.'*;
Where is the street committee and
the bridge gang ? We are glad1
to note the cleaner appearance of
the streets and the recent burn-1
ing of papers at early morn, let
/
all do likewise, but that bridge
at Vause's shop?My, it's a sight! j
and even if not dangerous to man
and beast, it must be an unjust
source of revenue to the nearby j
"private concern."
A'
The one place above all places, j
the railroad crossing, which should
be kept in the very best condition,
in order to insure the easiest
and smoothest passage, needs immediate
attention. The sudden rise |
of the wheels of vehicles from
the dirt to the top of the rails
is liable at any time to cause
the breaking of tiaces or wheels
and occasion a delay on the track
which might result in serious fatalities.
This crossing should be
inlaid and outlaid with heavy j
plank on a level with the top of
the rails the full width of the J
street. If the railroad company j
will not do it the town should, j
We cannot longer afford the!
discomfort and risk involved in such
a makeshift of a crossing. Of J *
course, if an accident of the 0
kind mentioned should occur at
this point, there would be no dif- a
ticulty in proving that the rail- y
road was to blame, but that Jc
would not give back the lives1
that were lost.

The Board of Trade. h
We have scarcely eTer looked. s
j upon a more representative, inter- h
.ested and enthusiastic body of men 0
i for a town of our size ti;an that 1
11
assembled iri the comt house one g
j night last week, known as the
Board of Trade. The orgauiza- j
tion is in its infancy and is being
perfected as rapidly as possi-1 j3
ble. They seem to^s^e ilt
\ : ^
things in a business i \ way and j
plans are being projec r\ni ~ 1
solid basis.
One prominent feature
last meeting was a pro^
which contemplates the op
of Black river for navigatioi
this point. It is well known .
duriner the time when the greate
amount of freight is to be mov
there is an abundance of waU.
in this stream to carry a large. g(
vessel, 'and wiih the assistance'a
which this section has abundant ^
right to expect from Congress, 2
the undertaking can easily be el
made a success. With the back- S|
ing of the business men of Kingstree
and Georgetown and the engineering
assistance that is being ?
arranged for, it is hoped that
the matter will soon be put in ?
shape to receive the attention it
deserves. [!

Phillip Stoll Announces ?
(From The Kutlerige County New?.)
Elsewhere in this paper will i I
be found the announcement of
Philip Stoll for solicitor of this t]
circuit. There are those who V
might think that for personal a
reasons this newspaper and its J
editor would exert all the intlu- a
ence that could be brought to j
bear against Mr Stoll. This is |
not the case. When it comes j
to local county alfairs, we may
differ and in the heat of differ- ! .
f<
ence personalities often creep j
in, but when the whole county
is concerned and there is need !
for unity, we forget everything
else and shoulder arms. We
assure Mr Stoll that in this in- i
stance, there is no desire on the: f<
part of any North County voters J Jj
to chastise him for his oppo- j a
sition to the new county move- i ?
