THURSDAY, SEPT. 16. 1909.
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. |

FINE SCHOOL OPENING.
Record Breaking First Day Enroll
ment-Interestino Exercises
The opening exercises of
Kingstree Graded and High
school were held in the school
auditorium Monday morning.
The children assembled in
their rooms promptly at 9
o'clock and immediately marched
to the auditorium, where a
goodly number^! the patrons
and friends o^he school had
preceded them.
After a prayer by the Rev E E
Ervin, Supt. Colbert spoke
briefly of the outlook for the
ensuing term. lie stated that he
had invited several speakers for
the opening exercises, but that
they had all failed to show up;
but he was glad to see so many
pupils, patrons and friends of
the school present. The three
preachers of the town, Revs E E
Ervin, W A Fairy and W E Hurt
kindly consented to give snort
addresses, which were very instructive
and greatly enjoyed
by all present. Prof Speigner,
principal of the high school,
also gave a short talk in behalf
of the new teachers.
After another short talk to
the pupils by Supt Colbert, the
audience was dismissed and the
pupils and teachers went to
their rooms to begin the session
of 1909-10, which gives promise
of being the most successful
year in the the history of the
institution.
There were in line on the
opening day 218 pupils, the
largest number that has ever
attended on the first day. There are
52 high school students and
16G graded school pupils. This ^
