First Aid to the Editor. * . ^ I A fellow somewhere out West?j one J Knox Hall?makes a busbj tie 88 of selling ready made editorials, to tit almost any subV-. ject, to hard worked editors of1 weekly newspapers who are too busy to take their pen in hand i to write their little human in- j terest stories to their constituents. Some of these squibs are really quite clever, but the free use of the service is apt to cause embarrassment to the confiding newspaper man who deludes' himself that his polished gem i of thought passes for what the! late lamented Coogler so aptly described as "purely original.*' For example, we have noticed tUe- same week in the editorial columns of two or more of our esteemed contemporaries the ohnnk of wisdom that emanated from the prolific mind; of Mr J Knox Hall. For our part, we would prefer these little ^ talks with our readers to be original, if not clever. Then, at least, they have the merit of sincerity. Our Dear Friends. Don't pay any attentiou to what j Some one tells you what somebody said about you. If he isn't man enough to say so to your face,he isn't worth wasting time over.? Kinnttree Record. The trouble is so many people L tell you to your face that they ^ --are true and tried friends and talk entirely differently to other i. people. Of course the best way is < J to pay uo attention to it but it ' -would be better atill that you were not told about it.?Newberry Herald if* Nercx. ] We defer to policy until it * ' j^n^cta with principle; then we ' A* ,g policy to the winds. 4 ? ?_____?m Please bear in mind, friend, that ^ orderiug the paper discou, \ " tinned does not settle your sub- { scriptioa account. Cut it out, if j you like, but don't forget to pay . what you owe. 1 We would suggest to some of the literary societies of our up-todate schools the following query for debate: "Resolved, That it was Cook and not Peary who lirst reached the North Pole." 1 j J If you don't think. Kingstree' is a good town to live in why don't you move away? Don't continue to hang around -tnd "knock" the town and the people to every body that will listen to your tale of woe. * ? People cannot see everything' alike. If they coulu this would i be a very monotonous old world.' Don t censure a man because he doesn't see a thing from your view-point. No one is infallible and the other fellow is just as apt to be right as you are. President Taft has an uphill job on hand trying to please the [ri^frilf^llWfcifciiAi "liT ii r I people of the South. If he appoints a negro to office a howl of indignation is naturally raised:, while if a white man be appoint-j cd the President is charged with j trying to disrupt the Democratic party. Pretty hard lines these i when there are scarcely as many j respectable white Republicans in! the State as there are places to! 1 i bt tilled. While we naturally are not anxious to lose any subscribers who pay their subscription, we want it distinctly understood that we are nut begging any one to continue taking this newspaper, who wants it discontinued. We thiuk too much of The Record to send it where it is an unwelcome visitor, if we know it; and auy person or number of persons now getting the paper who don't want it will confer a favor by promptly requesting us to discontinue their subscription Only, we insist that before ordering the paper stopped, if you owe anything on subscription don't forget to enclose the amount due when you order lis to "shut her off."

Williamsburg's Banks. The showings made by the five Danks of Williamsburg whose quarterly statements we publish his week make mmhtv inter jsting reading- and all are worth i careful perusal, indicating as they do in t^ie most tangible way, the prosperity of our county. The combined deposits of these live banks aggregate over ?450,000?nearly half a million lollars our people have in cash ieposits. When we consider the :act that less than a dozen years igo Williamsburg county was leemed too poor to support even )ne bank, the remarkable progress and development of our :ounty can be measurably appreciated. We are glad to see all our banks in flourishing condition. They are public institutions and their prosperity is a very safe index of the prosperity of the people of the respectiye com-1 munities where they are located. | Go With A Rash.
