Thanksgiving" day passed olT ^
quietly in town, ali the stores
being closed. The day seemed '
like Sunday, only some sport j
was enjoyed by the young men
shooting birds, the day being
ideal for bird shooting. Quite ^
a lot of the feathered tribe was
bagged. '
The writer was presented on j
Thanksgiving with a fine string 1
of Black river trout by a j
fisherman, Mr John Hugh, who j
lives near the ri^er. This was (
quite a treat and gave us much r
to be thankful for. ]
There was a "social" given (
at the home of Mr and Mrs L A t
Kogerson last Friday evening j
and quite a numoer of the
young people attended. All i

other young men and young i
ladies Irom Taft attended the <
entertainment. 1
Our town officers have (
quite a force of liands build- (
ing streets from East End to '
West End of town. These
streets are running parallel with
the G & W railroad and when
completed will connect the

will be quite an accommodation
to the people in town and the
public generally.

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are not out of date are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,
