About Corn Clubs.
With his characteristic energy!
and enthusiasm our wideawake j
count* superintendent has gone'
actively to work forming a boys'
.
coro club for this county and
soliciting from various business
houses cash or merchandise suitable
for premiums as an iuceu- j
tive to the yonthful .agricultur- i
ists of the county to enter the |
contest. We bespeak for Mr Mc-1
Cullough a liberal response to'
his appeal for the wherewithal I
to offer prizes to the boys and
our public-spirited business men'
will ma"ke 110 mistake in contributing
to thi3 fund.
Another movement that is worthy;
of encouragement and support is;
the one set forth in the letter
of Dr A H Williams, which j
has . appealed ii. several issues of i
, The Record. Di Williams' ap-i

^all so close to the soil thut the!
term "farmer" may he said to
include every class and condition!
of- our people?is worthy of their j
favorable consideration arid at
least live Jniudred Williamsburg
corn-growers should join the
uieu'a corn club, thereby creating
O
u fund of $o0<> to be distributed
in j rizes for the best corn
crops, according to the conditions
of the contest.
The promoter of the enterprise,!
Dr Williams, offers to raise SotHM
? i
bv his personal efforts, if the
rest of'the county will contribute
an equal amount. This is
J certainly a liberal offer and we
hope and belie ye that there are
t V -enough men in old Williamsburg
with the general welfare of the:
couutv at heart to join in this
!
movement with tii?r detei urination j
to raise-^ I ,<**>. besides the amount'
Dr* Williams pledges. With j
$l,6i)0 in cash or the equivalent
to oftv: as prizes, if we are
blessed with favorable seasons, we
look forward to the present year
as a iecord-breaking one m the
it production of the nation's staple
r food crop.
The Record always stands for
what it believes to be for the
best interest of the people generally
and we certainly endorse
most earnestly both the' men's

An exchangl; from a neighboring
county tells about a young
h, .. ?*<:..' /- - .
I
I
man who recently coughed upjj
two pins that had been snugly,:
reposing in his anatomy for over J
a viar. That's nothing: last week
i
we hail a delinquent subscriber to
cough uj\ a couple of dollar* of our;1
money that he had betii carrying1
around somewhere 4*in his midst" j:
fur over two years.
We beg leave to offer the sug-j
gestion to Superintendent of Kd-j
ucation McCullough that he ad* i
c I
mit to membership in the "boys'j
orn club" girls also, if any should
wish to join. We know of
numerous instances where with
e pia! chances the women farmers
far outstripped the men.
Avant, who with I)r B'gliam,
was convicted of manslaughter in
the killing of i)r Bigham's wife,
Mrs liuth Crisp Bigham, has been
released from the penitentiary
pending?something?there are so
many loop-holes, we fail to recall
just now what particular one he
got through. # Meantime, where is
Dr Bighani?
They know how to suppress
blind tigers in Kentucky. In
Danville, in that State, recently a
bunch of alleged "tigers" was
hauled to'the police station in an
old hearse used as a patrol wagon
and eight of them were convicted,
receiving sentences of from ten
months to four and a half years
in the work house, Danville is
the original dry town of Kentucky,
being without a saloon for
forty years.
Unless people?and a great many
of them, too?are doing this town!
a senons injustice, it is a com-!
paratively easy matter for almost
anybody to buy whisky iu KingsIree.
This is a grave charge!
against our town, but the reports!
to that effect are so numerous,
and some o? them from such re-;
I
liable sources, that it time for;,
the citizens of the town to take!
I
notice of the matter.

The '"unloaded gun'" stiil ciulnis !
its victims. At Spartanburg last
week a four-year-old lad shot his |
little sister with an old rifie the)
j I
children were playing with, \
wounding the child in the l?-g!|
so s-riously that amputation may ;
be necessary, it is feared. The j
deadly weapon was an old piece '
of a rifle that 110 one dreamed !
l
was dangerous ai d w as used as a
play -thins by the children. Thus
is vended the old adage: "There's
danger m a gun without lock, ]
stock or sarrel.''

Under the provisions of the
act passed by the recent Leg is
lature for closing up the busi- ,
ness of the defunct county dis- (
pensaries. sixty days is the limit (
allowed for the winding up peri- '
od. A member of the county (
board recently stated ih our pres- 1
i
ence tiiat fifteen miuutes was a'l
tile time needed to despatch the .
business incident to the tinul ]
dessoiiition of this county s d.a- ,
pensaiies, and just .is soon as ^
Dispensary Auditor West makes
his lvuuds here the long de- ,
? i
ferivd "winding-up" process will j
take place?"a consummation de- t
vouth to he hoped." '
Good health is impossible when ]
there is any derangement of the digestive
organs. Foley's Orino Laxative
is a natural remedy for stomach,
liver and bowel troubles. It
aids digestion, stimulates the liver,
and cures habitual constipation.

'n i M .1 l m ? i
rtecoru,% quietly passeu away e ri-1
clay, Febniary 25, at 12'o'clock,
noon.
Mr McCullough would have been
eighty-two years of age had he lived
until next October. He did valiant;
service throughout the War between j
the States, having enlisted as caval- j
ryman in ('apt. Tucker's company, j
apait of Haskell's regiment and j
Gnerry's brigade. He never was
wounded, although on three different
occasions lie had his horse shot
from under him, and <^h time;
mounted another steed am kept his
place in rauks.
Duriug his entire service he was
never made prisoner, and after the
surrender of the Confederate armyhe
made his way home through the,
lines of the Uuiou soldiers without;
surrendering?nor did he ever sur- J
render to the United States author-!
ities. After the war he came back J
to the old plantation there to live a
quiet life, engaged in stock-raisiDg
and agriculture. With him lived
two of his sisters, Mise Lula McCullough
and Mrs B Tisd^le. The
other living sisters and brothers are
Miss Sarah McCullough, Mrs Mary
Tisdale and Mr John S McCullough,
all of the Cedar Swamp neighborhood.
Mr McCullough was a loval mem
ber of Cedar Grove Baptist church,
where he was to be seen occupying
his favorite place near the right of j
the pulpit at each day of worship j
untif the last days of feebleness1
hindered his presence.
At h\a request he was laid to rest!
on the bluff of Cedar Swamp, away [
in the lonely wood among a growth !
of cedars, where the McCullotighs j
interred their dead many years ago.
