THURSDAY, MAY 13. 1909. ^ Senator Smith's Position. It is with peculiar pleasure that we publish this week Zach McGhee's interview with Seuator Smith. A short time ago a Virginia newspaper took Smith to task for saying that he would rote fo- protection on products indigenous to the section he represents, and when reminded that the Democratic platform had declared against protection, he was quoted as replying that "platforms were written over night and forgotten in the cold, gray light of the morning after," or words to ?l XT *i x L il x twuib eueci. now 11 turns out taut ithe author of the cynical and ;tnercenary sentiment was not our tSmith at all, but another South -? -era Senator yclept Smith who < ' Ought to be ashamed to look his W:\, > honest Democratic colleagues in 1 Elhe face after plunging his poniard into the vitals of the party he is ^ .'.supposed to represent and gloating ; jr.'. over the act. 1 Anyway, our Senator Smith's I words have the right rjng, and ; here's hoping that he will act iu * - accordance with the sentiments . - thus expressed. ? The publicity that has keen < ft *? given to the splendid crops pro- 1 rtnoorf on Williamsburg soil | '.' through the columns of The i i:. Record is one, of the best ad- < v fertisemente we have ever had s ? in exploiting the productiveness ' * of our native soil and its generous response to proper cultiva- j feoc. True this is only a begin- ( cisg, but the statements pub- < tisbed are so remarkable that j they have attracted considerable ! attention and various newspapers 1 throughout the State have copied | the articles and commented on . them. All along we have main- j v tained that our people are too ; modest in not letting the world know < what they have accomplished and especially is this the case with the farmers. They attend strictly to their own business and let the , world wag on as it pleases. But that is not a progressive policy. ? To advance with the world we * mast keep in touch with the world. To stand still is to stag-, n&te, so let us tell others what we are doing and compare methods and results. The "Rutledge" couuty promoters will appear before Governor Ansel Saturday, at 11 o'clock a m, with their petition to change the original lines of the proposed county so as to leave out the two i Florence townships and carve the entire new county out of old Wil liamsburg with one small township in Clarendon (the Clarendon part embracing about 40 square miles, we are informed). This will doubtless necessitate more surveying and the cost of the survey already made amounts to over ?1,500, we understand. Governor Ansel seems Jisposed to grant any change desired I by new county petitioners and it H PWBBjag is estimated that his complacent acquiescence with regard to changing boundaries bos already cost Marion county over $<?,000 in the effort to establish the new county of Dillou. The rumor that a "dark horse" has been picked for the Florence! postmastership is not very reassuring. If we comprehend the situation aright it is the color of the "mule" now tiiat causes the trouble. The Edgefield News has suspended publication. Edgefield still has two very creditable newspapers, i however, whose staying qualities have stood the test of time. No, Violet, the fact that Charleston has a dry dock is no sign that the old city will vote prohibition in August, The "sweet girl graduate with golden hair'' occupies the center of the stage. Ninety-three bushels of corn to the acre on upland soil?how is that for high? A BUSINESS PMABIE. ! < Every Delinquent Subscriber Should , lead It and Apply the Moral. Once a farmer had 1,800 bush- i els of wheat, which he sold, not j to a grain merchant, but 1,800 different dealers, a bushel each. A. few of them paid in cash, but far the greater number said it I was not [convenient then; they would pay later. A few months j passed, and the man's bank iccount ran low. "How is this?" 3e said. "My 1,800 bushels of jrain should have kept me in iffluence until another crop is aised, but I have parted with :he grain and have instead only i vast number of accounts, so . II small and scattered that I can. i -a ?j - _ n a. e a. ? lot get arouna ana cuuect iasi ;n ugh to pay expenses." So le posted up a public notice and isked all those who owed him . to pay quickly. But few came. The rest said. "Mine is only a ^ small matter, and I will pay some of these days," forgetting that, though each account was i very small, when all were put 1 together they mea nt a large sum 7 to the man. Things went on thus. The man got to feeling so bad that he fell out of bed md awoke, and running to his C jranary, found his 1,800 bushels Df wheat still safe there. Moral.?The next day the man went j to the publisher of his paper a and said: "Here, sir, is the pay c for your paper, and when next year's subscription is due you can depend on me to pay ^ promptly. I stood in the po- | sition of an editor last night, a and I know how he feels to have * r one's honestly earned money j. scattered all over the country a in small amounts." if you Have bactacne ana urinary troubles you should take Foley's Kidoey Remedy to strengthen and ' build up the kidneys so they will get ? property, as a serious kidney trouble . may develop.

The door, sash and blind business of Messrs Geo S Ilacker & Son, at Charleston, S C, which was established by Mr Geo S Hacker in the year 1842, has been bought by the Hacker Manufacturing Company. The new company is composed of some of Charleston's best known and most progressive business men, and we have no doubt that the record established by the former firm for fair dealing and the manufacture of honest goods will be maintained by the new concern. The name of Geo S Hacker & Son has tor almost three quarters of a century been a synonym for the best in door, sash and blind manufacture, and we bespeak for the Hacker Manufacturing Co the good will and confidence of the people ot this community. Mr C B Buell, of the firm of Buell & Roberts, is president of the Company, and Mr J B Davis, Constructing Engineer of Va Ca Chemical Co, is vice-president; Mr John B White, late of Cameron, S C, is secretary and treasurer and Mr P J Prenderjjast, who has been superintendent for Messrs Geo S Hacker & Son for fifteen years, is general nanager. We call attention to,'^*> advertisement of the new 1 pany n this issue. V MONET IN CORN*"1R0VIN Ir.f alter David of Salters Depot Bales Profit of $5L57 per Acre, Net. Sditor County Record:?

A telegram was received ruesday from Mr C C Featheritone stating that it would be mpossible for him to attend the :ommencement exercises of Kingstree High school. Mr Fea* therstone was on the programme hn dpliver the address to the graduating class and bis not :oming is a distinct disappointment to manv who anticipated something unusually tine in the way of a literary address, as he ranks high as an orator of pleasing delivery and scholarly attainments. Morever, it will be difficult to replace him at this late day when most of the available talent have had their services already spoken for. Many wehk, nervous women have been restored to health by Foley's Kidney Remedy as it stimulates the kidneys so they will eliminate the waste matter from the blood. Impurities depress the nerves, causing nervous exhaustion and other ailments. Commence today and you will soon be well. Pleasant to take. DC Scott. ! * ' v?wvtvvw?wwwv%v? ;! Union High School.
