Belated Communications. , In order to give our force a half holiday Thanksgiving da} (Thursday) The Record went t< press last week nearly a da} earlier than usual, consequent ly several valued articles thai came in a little late had to b< omitted. We regret this, but tc have published all that cam* in at the last moment would | have necessitated our getting out a full page supplement thus delaying" indefinitely tht issuing oi the paper. When i lot of matter intended foi the current week crowds in or press days, Wednesday anc Thursday, it is simply a matter of impossibility to handle it ah and get the paper out on time Ten articles, including several advertisements, intended foi last week's paper had to bt held over for the reason above stated. Such of these as are not out of date are published in this week's issue of the paper. We hope in future our friends will try to get their communi' cations to this office not latei than Tuesday morning of the current week. Bouquet for Union High School. Among those schools of South Carolina which have made marked progress the Unior High school, Rome, S C., deserves honorable mention. This school is located far out in the country in Williamsburg county, and when Mr O M Mitchell, whc had just graduated from Wofford college, five years ago, tooh charge only two teachers were employed. By energy and enterprise on his part and the co-operation of his board he has Succeeded in having erected an excellent building, has increased the attendance nearly a hundred per cent, and the number of teachers from twc to five. This is now one of the best rural schools in South Carolina.?Southern School Notes, When you come to town put a copy of The Kecord in your pock' et and consult its business direc tory?the advertising columns in making your purchases. tf f ' i i Wi.at i* ia a nam?-'.' i Much when it i* a piano's name. j a The name ?>f StiefT Minifies ' ! c weet I T 1 one, I ndisputable i i ?* H 1 xcellence i i' F 1 1 ine F f** 1 lnisft For price* of Stietl and Shaw ' ' Pianos write fo t 1 j ' I Chas.
