THURSDAY. NOV. 19. 1908.
That the new law divorcing
the court of genera! sessions from
the common pleas court in Williamsburg
county is impractical
and a useless expense litis been
conclusively demonstrated by the
last two terms of court held at
Kingstiee. Only a few weeks
ago we Had the sessions court
lasting about five hours and on
Monday the common pleas court
exhausted itself in three hours.
Both terms of court, under the
old law, might have been held
the same week and all business
despatched in two days with the
same set of jurors. The experiment
at law making has cost the
county at least two hundred dollars
at the outset of the opeia
tion of tbe new arrangement and
it seems to us the best thing
for our representatives in tbe
legislature to do is to put us
back uuder the old system as
speedily as possibly.
The friendly rivalry amoug our
farmer friends as to big potatoes
is a good sign and we are glad
to give prominence to anything
that advertises the fertility of i
soil or in any way exploits the
resources of our countv. Hither*
to Williamsburg people .have been
very modest about letting the
world know what they are capable
of doing and while we would
not in any sense be a party to
an exaggerated story of the pro
ductiveness of our soil aud climate,
the bare facts backed up
by tangible, visible eyidence, are
? 1- i- ???vArukl^ uf.
tJ!JOU^Q IU illU ilt'V ia? vi c* c*v. uvtention
to our cou.ity. We have
the best country and the best
people, taking everything in consideration,
in the world aud the
editor of The Record never
lacks time or space or willingness
to enumerate and emphasize
the wonderful resources and advantages
of our favored land.

Brother Ayer, of the Florence
Daily Times, is wrestling with a
linotype recently installed in his
office. If he has more trouble
wilh it than we have bad with
gasoline engines operated by people
who don't know anything
about them, he certainly has our
sincere sympathy. I
Order of tbe Eastern Star.
Kingstree Chapter of the Order
of the Eastern Star was organized
here Tuesday night,
November 10, by Kev W L L
Cahill of Georgetown, assisted
by Mrs D M Brinkley, of the
same place. This is a branch
of Free Masonry qf which the
wives and daughters of Master
Masons are eligible. Following
are the ladies who are charter
members of Kingstree chapter:
Mrs Louis Jacobs, Mrs W H
Carr, Mrs S Marcus,Mrs Edward
Epps and Mrs G O Epps and
Misses Barbara and Florrie Jacobs

All of the Masons in town are

quite a number became charter

Two of our lady teachers,Miss
I Lorena Uoss and Miss Carrie
I Onslow, went down to Charlesj
ton last Friday on business.
] Their places were tilled by
Misses 1'earle Montgomery and
I Mary Gordon, former pupiig of
! our school, but now members of
jWinthrop College, w.ho are at
{home on account of the sickness
I there.
We were very fflad to have
visit us on Monday morning,
Miss Mamie Montgomery, who
is also home from Winthrop because
of typhoid fever in the
school. Mamie was one of last
! years graduates and it seems
I natural and pleasant to have
I her among" u.-> once more, if onl}'
as a visitor.
Being indisposed and feeling
that lie could not do himself
justice. Mr Kirk who was to
speak to us in the auditorium
last Friday, did not deliver his
address. But if nothing again
prevents, Mr Kirk will give us
his speech on next Friday at
the usual hour, 1:30 o'clock p m.
The Wgenee Literary Society
held a regular meeting on Friday
afternoon, November 13,
1908, Miss Brockinton in the
chair and Miss Hinds secretary.
The meeting- was a very interesting-one,
the only draw-back
being- that none of our honorary
members were present. We
hope this will not occur again,
as their presence is very much
desired by all the members.
The debate for the afternoon >
''Resolved, That Ki* re
needs a sewerage syste
than she needs electric ,.8i.
added much to the interest
the meeting. Finally the d
cision was rendered in favor *
the affirmative. The member
of the society appreciate the interest
of our trustees in our
[society. Although they cannot
be with us at our meetings ^we
learn that they think about

ed to hear one of our "learned
doctors of law "say that he was
very much interested in our society
and, perhaps, we may give
him an opportunity of showing
this interest in deeds as well as
words a lfttle later.
Miss Mattie Vause, one of the
young ladies from the tenth
grade, has been absent from
school for several weeks on account
of the failure of her eyes.
We hope she will soon be able
to return to her studies.
Some of the older boys are
practicing for a minstrel show,
to be given for the benefit of
the school,which is now in need
of funds. The people of Kingstree
have shown that they like
this form of amusement and we
shall expect them to prove this
by coming out iu full force to
the minstrel performance. Mr
Kibler, who is coaching the
boys in their different parts,
hopes to be able to present the
minstrel by December 18. Remember
December 18 in the
school auditorium.
