Mr Bryan says that one day^luring the holidays a party composed of Senator Smith, Taft and Brvan went hunting on his place. The annual meeting" of the Bank of Kingstree's stockholders took place yesterday. The usual dividend ot s per cent, was declared and a very substantial addition made to- the already handsome surplus of this nourishing institution. We hereby give notice that after January 1, 1909, all accounts of a dollar or more for subscription will be placed in the hands of a collecting agency.

Writes a satisfied customer: "Enclosed is one dollar to renew my subscription to The COUNTY Record, the best county paper in the United States." While we fear our friend is prejudiced in our favor or indulging in a figure of speech called hyperbole, we nevertheless value highly this expression of appreciation for our effort to produce a meritorious local newspaper. The bridge across the canal1 has been completed and the J work accepted by the town j council. Two Kitson lights have] been erected, one on either side : of the [street, to light up the bridge on moonless nights.

Messrs Beatty & Beatty of Georgetown. On new year's day Drs Gam-; ble and Jacobs were called to Cedar Swamp to amputate the arm of a negro boy, Billl Singletary, who had got his arm crushed in a cotton press the , day before. The boy was about | 14 years old and was hurt while working at Tisdale Bros' gin-1 nery. The arm was taken off i above the elbow and while the; operation is a serious one the patient at last accounts was ' rpstin,r easv and unless compli cations arise will soon be con-j valescent. The Smith Greater Shows is a jhigli class aggregation of its ; kind. The managers and, in j fact, everybody connected with ; the shows, seem to be square : and honest in all their dealings ! and we have not heard a single! complaint of swindling or inde-' cency in connection with the carnival. A clean, wholesome: show and a clever set of gentle-! men seems to be the general estimate of the carnival and its entire personnel. The carnival exhibited under the auspices of the Kingstree Fire Company, whose percentage of the net profits amounted to $159.34? quite a substantial help to the fire laddies. % th! ho intern for the stree Dr t i|EEiEL|& Mr li A JJrown was in town Monday from Taft.
