| Appreciation.
" We never fully realized tliei
loyalty of our friends in King-'
r; stroe to the old Countv Record i
until this week. when a stranggrj
k from another county came over toj
- feel the pulse of the community,
looking to the establishing of an-!
other paper in the town. The!
Bc-scaut encouragement given tht*|
R; representative of the proposed venBftore
and the mauv voluntary exKrpressions
of good will and appreKi
t/\ ward the faithful Ser
rant that has stood for the best
w interests of our people through
ffgood and evil fortune, rejoicing iu j
B their prosperity and sorrowing in
i| their adversity, for more than a
f.'ioore of years, touch us to the
B heart, and anew and more heart
IJy than ever, we dedicate The
^Becord to Kingstree and WilK
liamsburg coanty, pledging our un^ altering
effort, and all our am^Bition
and energies, to the up^Mkiknng
of the old county and
^Hhe enlightening of her people, so
^Eftr as in oar power lies.
R We have had an abiding faith
I^Bja the fatnre of our town and
HHnxity, and jnst now we need to

ty
fe thank our friends, one and
for their warm words of;
mendation for the paper and;
i than ever will we strive to!
e worthy of the praise and |
^dence so generously bestowed ;
ore than a year has elapsed
t Calhoun county was organjtjwJ
they are still squabbling
I the bnilding of the court
te and jail. It seems that
r to the election, as an inment
the voters, the town of
latthewa guaranteed to put up
[court house and jail for
POCT, ana it was promised
I the country people would not
Idled on to pav a cent toI
the buildings. Now, it is
ned to bond the county of
Ian for $30,000 to supple
I the town'8 $20,000, as three
^judges have urged the
i of respectable public
g3 at a coet of at least
% Harpers correspondent's
?his week touching the
l?erment of the county is
ad to the point. It is
& we should be up and
ut what can be done
the figures, maps, etc,
!rom the official survey
2ssed so far as this end
ie? is concerned, while
county advocates seem
nished with all the daeed
for amending their
Ind marking out new
lines. Maybe we will
access to the records
election is ordered, for
^rill of course be
?-it in Sftuujf
irove township is taming against
he Rut ledge idea, it would not
iurpri8e us at all if another amendment
be asked for, leaving out
;hat portion of the proposed
irea, and Williamsburg be put to
the expense of still another surrey.
It seems that all the new
county promoters have to do is
to call up Governor Ansel over
the long-distance 'phone and that
obliging official smilingly assents
to any proposition submitted to
him bv the new countvites.
Whether or not the new county
be f irmed, the old couuty, as we
understand it, has to bear all
the expense of surveys, vtc, however
numerous and costlv they
may l?e. That being the case, it
seems not unreasonable that the
who pviwt to remain in
the old county should want to
sec a copy of the surveyors' report
and the official map of the
territory surveyed.
The first survey?the one supposed
to be finished?costs about
$1,500, so we are informed. The
second one, now in progress, will
add considerably more to the expense
alreadv incurred, and there
is no telling how many more our
Rutledge friends will require before
the earth is cut to suit
their taste,
Lee county's new court house,
recently completed, cost $75,000.
Our Rutledge county friends propose
to erect both the court
und iail fnr ftOf). and
AJ UUOV ?*UU j wit *v? ?? ?
even that amount seems to be
problematical.
The several surveys that have
been made looking to the formation
of Dillon county have already
cost the people of Marion
county over $6,000, it is said,
and the end is nut yet.
If many more surveys are made
of the llutledge county area, it
may be necessarv to levy a special
tax next year to pay the bills of
the surveyors.

Stewart Starr is uot a member
of the new county commission
appointed by Governor Ansel.
Reply lo "Pro Bono Publico."
Editor County Kecord:?
While I heartily endorse the action
of the Spartanburg county
t-nstppR in sudinp their teachers to
W. -WW ? Q
attend a summer school, I would
not endorse such action on the part
of Williamsburg's trustees. The
school fund of Spartanburg county
for 1907-08 was more than
$120,000, and at the close of the
year the treasurer held $31,000 to
the credit of the schools. Williamsbnrg's
total school fund is about
$46,000 and will close thi3year with
about $3,000 to the credit of our
schools.
You will easily see that we have
no money to spend along the line
suggested. Probably the greatest
need of our county is more money
for the schools.

Have Not Yet Submitted Their Beport
to tbe Commission.
Mr II B Smith, the chairman of
the new county commission and
our representative on the board,
informed us that the official
surveyors had notified him that
they would be ready to submit
their report to the full commission
on Tuesday, June 8, and
| that he (Mr Smith) had called a
' i i-i ? / i: A ..
meeting to oe neia in wite vh,> i
i on that day. On Monday, June I
j ?. Mr Smith says that Mr Stew-!
i art Starr wrote him that the i
surveyor.- had advised hiin (Mrj
Starr) that they could not malrej
their report on the day appoint-j
ed because they had misplaced'
some of their data and had todoi
^ |
the work over. Mr Starr alsoj
I stated that lie had thereupon
sent out notices to the several
members of the commission not1
to meet on the day appointed,
j (Mr Starr, we believe, was api
pointed or elected secretary of!
the commission at some time in I
tiie remote oast).

the postponed meeting of the
commission would be held in
Lake City tomorrow (Friday).
ELLERBE'S LEG BROKEN.
Distressing Accident to Oar Representative
in CongressWashington,
June 6:?The friends
of Representative Ellerbe wil^ regret
to learn that he has bee so
unfortunate as to break his leg.
On Friday night he was standing
in the main lobby of the Metropolitan
hotel, where he resides during
the sessions of Congiess, and, without
any apparent cause, slipped with
the result that the bone in his left
leg was fractured. He was at once
taken to Providence hospital in this
city. Reports to-night are that,
while he is suffering considerable
pain, he is doing very well.
It will be some time before Mr
Ellerbe will be able to leave the
; hospital, but as soou as this can be
done he will go to Marion, Mrs
Ellerbe has been advised of the accident
and will probably come to
Washington and remain with Mr
Ellerbe until he i3 able to go home.
NEGRO BOY SHOT.
He and Companion Were Pranking
with Pistol, Which Fired Accidentally.
Last Thursday afternoon,June
3, at the Alderman Lumber Co's
camp near Mouzon postoffice,
two negro boys were playing
with an old pistol when the
weapon exploded a cartridge,
shooting one of the boys, Buffkin
Kennedy, in the side belcw
th? heart. The wounded boy,
who is a son of Nathan Kennedy
and about 15 years of age,
was brought to town Thursday
evening and Drs Gamble and
Jacobs called to attend him,
The wound is a dangerous one
and the boy, although still alive
and doing as well as could be
expected, is in a very critical
condition.

constipation,stomach and liver trouble,
as it sweetens the stomach and
breath, gently stimulates the liver
and regulates the bowels and is much
superior to pills and ordinary laxatives.
