A PLEASANT OCCASION. J
Hot Supper at Benson an En{iyab!c
Affair?School Begins.
. The hot supper which was an- .
nonnced in The Kecokd to take
place at Cedar Swamp Thursday,
September 24, was quite a success,
$54.15 being realized as the net pro
oeeds. This amount clears all
indebtedness for the recent painting
of Cedar Swamp Methodist church, j
Oar little chapel presents a very;
neat appearance both inside and out-1
and is now a comtortaoi e nouse
*Sreed for the worship of God.
The occasion was attended t " ? '
j^fairly good crowd. There was
^^^tbing to disturb the pleasure of '
evening?no drinking, no j
misbehavior, as is so often seen at
gatherings where the public is invited.
Every body contributed liberally.
They seemed to realize that "it is
better to give than to receive;" that
A^is, they gave more than the real
V value of the thing received.
W The barbecue cooked by Mr John !
I McGill was pronounced excellent.

School at Benson opened Monday,
SetH^piber 2$. Miss Ethel Nesmith,
of this county, is principal and Miss
VolinaOutzsof Creenwood, assistant. <
Both young ladies are graduates of !
Lauder College. Miss Nesmith is
no stranger to us, having taught here
before and made for herself a most J
enviable reputation as an iustru ctor |
and a disciplinarian. Miss Ouzts
comes highly recommended. Messrs
TM Kellehan JJY McGill and H ;
C Haddock are the trustees. Their j
co operation, sympathy and frequent!
visits to the school would greatly j
benefit the teachers in their efforts j
to accomplish a success during the J
ensuing term.

I Mr Rob Bell has been quite sick
for some time.
Mr H L Grayson, after a long
I illness and confinement to his bed and
I room, is now able to get out to
I his store by using crutches.
J Miss Helen Scott of Kingstree,
who taught the Cedar Swamp school
last year, has been visiting here
recently. She still holds the affectrail
of her former pupils and has
won the highest esteem of the people
of this neighborhood, who are always
delighted to have her visit Benson*
Among the visitors at the hot sup
per were Messrs Heyward Scott,
Edwin Hirscb, Theodore Hemingway
of Kingstree, Mr and Mrs H Fox
worth and Mr Simpson Johnson of
Cades.
Also we noticed the presence of Mr
Samuel Cooper, whose nom de plume
is familiar to the readers of The
Record. "WhipporwiU" was putting
into practice that muchly writter
theme of his tete-a-tete.

Forco of Habit.
"What did that young cub reporter
follow up before he came
with us ? asked the managing editor*
"Believe he was a dentist," reeponded
the assistant.
"Ah, I thought so 1"
"Why, has he been writing anything
atwut dentistry?"
"Yes, rather suggestive of it In

- "Well," said a traveler in the
Vain one evening, "speaking of long
jves, my dear aunt died at the age
i of 106."
"That's nothing," said a silly
looking drummer. "I had a grandmother
who died at 223."
"Bosh, do you want us to believe
that a relation of yours died at 223?
'It is not only improbable, but utterly
impossible," snapped the first.
"Not at all. She died at J223

Found a Spider
In His Copy

"When Mark Twain was editing the
Virginia City Enterprise be received
from a superstitious subscriber a let
ier stating that tlie writer had found
a spider in his copy <>f the paper ar.d
wanted to know whether that was good j
or had luck. Mark replied in his "Ac-1
swers to Correspondents" column:
Old Subscriber?The finding of a |
spider in your copy of the Enterprise
was neither good juck nor
had. The spider was merely look- ;
it.c over our rapes to find out what
merchant was not advertising, so
that it could spin its web across I
his door and lead a free and undisturbed
existence forever and
over.

Sharks Fear Neiss.
The cowardliness of sharks is
well known among men who have
been much to sea in southern wa-1
tent fnfea+od hv man oo fere The
fiercest shark will get out of the sea
way in a very great hurry if the
swimmer, noticing its approach,
sets up a noisy splashing. A shark
is in deadly fear of any sort of living
thing that splashes in the water.
Among the south sea islands the
natives never go sea bathing alone,
but always in parties of half a dozen
or so in order that they may
make the greatest hubbub in the
water and thus 6care the sharks
away. Once in awhile a too venturesome
swimmer among these natives
foolishly detaches himself
from his swimming party and momentarily
forgets to keep up his
splashing. Then there is a swish,
and the man eater comes up beneath
him like a flash and gobbles
him.

"how many times I have

"I shouldn't be so puffed up about

NEW EXHIBITS AT
THE STATE FAIR
October 26 to 30?Prize* for
Successful Farmers.
One of the best attractions at th?
State Fair this year, which will bt
J held in Columbia beginning Monday.
October 26th, and closing Friday, Octo'
ber 30th, will be the Field Crop Department.
This new feature will prove of
i interest to every farmer in the State,
j It will be under the management ot
Prof. J. N. Harper, Director of the
Clemson Kxperimental Station, who i>
one of the best agricultural experts ir.
the South. Professor Harper has personally
solicited the exhibits for this
department, and will arrange everything
to advantage. He will be as
! listed by his whole corps or experi
associates, and it will be worth the trip
| to the fair Just to talk to these expert
men and get their ideas on practical
farming.
Clemson College will have a big exhibit
in this department, but will not
be allowed to compete with the individual
exhibits. Some fine prizes will
be awarded the farmers. For instance.
$f>0 will be given for the largest yield
of corn to the acre, $25 for the second
best, and cotton will have the ?am
amount awarded for the best yield per
acre. Dozens of other interesting contests
have been provided.
President Mobley, being a practical
stockman himself, is giving much attention
to this part of the fair. There
will be more thoroughbreds shown thar
ever before. The stalls have all beer
renovated and the pure water from the
city has been connected, so that the
cattle and stock will be well takei
care of. This will be good news tc
hundreds of breeders who might otherv
ve hesitated to send their fines!
ir. The poultry show bids fail
.'rand success this year. There
i be more interest in every deput
ime.it. The management believe.'
this will be the largest and best fail
ever hwld here. Infe-rmation as to the
prizes will be cheerfully supplie-d bj
