Bank of Williamsburg, Kingslree, S. G. 4 fumYiTEM&f ?# The county board of equalizaton met here Monday and Tuesday. To all the "newly-weds" The Record extends warm and sincere felicitations. Of all the fools, the foolest fool is the April fool. Look out for him to-morrow. The ladies of the Methodist church will serve cream next Friday afternoon on the court house square. Cupid and Hymen have been and i are still getting in good work in this vicinity from visible signs and hearsay evidence. The stock-holders of the Kingstree Tobacco Warehouse company are urgently requested to attend an important meeting in court Friday night, at 8:30 o'clock. Mr N D Lesesne has asked us to ditify the dispensary election manners that the money has at last been sent him to pay them for , their services. They may get it by ^jP*calling at the Bank of Kingstree or I a written order. ? Preaching at the Methodist church W next Sunday by. the pastor, Rev W j A Fairy, is announced as follows:' Morning service, 11a m; evening ! service 8 pm. The holy sacrament will be administered after the morning sermon. The public cordially invited. Why is The Record like a pretty woman? It is the embodiment of many types. Its form is made up. I It is always chased. Its form enjoys a good press. It has a weakness for gossip. Can stand some praise and it's awfully proud of its new dress. Messrs L Stackley and Louis Stackley, father and son, have formed a stock company and will take over the mercantile business of L Stackley, which has been in existence for over twenty years. The style of the new firm is Stackley's Dry Goods Co. Last Saturday our friend, Mr G F Williamson of Cades, brought us in a big bag of potatoes. They were not the largest we have seen? just good average sized ones?but for sweetness and delicacy of flavor these specimens of the succulent esculent were unsurpassed by any we have ever tasted. Mr L Stackley has sold the building occupied by the Carolina Furniture Company to Mr P S Courtney. We understand that Mr Stackley will I in the near future erect two more store buildings on the lot adjoining his present place of business. Let the good work go on! j A ? 50 inch Panama |g 50 44 Mohair The county board of educotior has appointed Mr DM Ervin i | member of the board of trustees o: Kingstree High school, vice Mr I Stackley, who recently resigned hi; membership on the board. Mi Stackley has given years of faithfu and capable service as a trustee o: the school and we regret to see hin retire, yet the board feels that ii Mr Ervin they have found a worthj successor. Talk about the strenuous life Sometimes a plain, unassumiuj p ?acher does things that would qualify him to meet Roosevelt's tes for the physical fitness of armj [ officers, viz., a fifty mile horse I back ride in a day. Last Sunday j Rev W E Hurt, pastor of the Kings tree Baptist church, married threi } couples,preached three sermons anc drove thirty miles to meet his ap pointments. A pretty good recorc for Easter Sunday. This Is a Good One. The following jokelet has beer handed us with a request to publish it. We comply with pleasure. 11 is a good one: A gentleman bought a goat foi which he paid $5. Shortly after h( received a tax bill on the goat oi j $8. He called on the assessor anc said: "Why do you tax me $8 on mj goat when I paid but $5 for him?' "Well," said the assessor, "1 have carefully read what the statute says, and it reads: "Whoever owns property but ting on the street shall be taxed $4 a front foot." ? Card oi Thanks. The ladies of St Albans' Episcopal church acknowledge with sincere thanks an Easter donation of ter dollars from Mr J E Porter, which defrayed the expenses of bringing a workman from Charleston to lay the new carpet. They also acknowh edge the gift of a pair of beautiful vases for the altar which was pre sented by Misses Marion and Florence Hirsch and which, holding white ' carnations, were used for the first time on Easter day. A Destructive Fire. Moody, March 29:?News reached here yesterday of the burning of Mr Thomas Tompkins' store at Cedar Creek. Besides the building about [ $300 worth of merchandise and $1,200 in cash were destroyed. The cause of the fire is not known. Call at Dr W V Brockington's and see his assortment of Books and Magazines, etc. 3-24-2t Stubborn As Miles are liver and bowels sometimes; seem to balk without cause.

The cry of the child: ren of this land rises loudly and bitterly against you. The infant | lies at your door. And in a large, j national, racial sense, it is your; child! And you are leaving it there,! to die of criminal neglect, while you rush wildly to Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceanica and Latin Ameri* ? ? M 1 /\_ ca, to save the stranger s cnna. un that great day, when the earth and the sea shall give up their dead, and men shall troop toward the Great White Throne, to give an account of the deeds done in the body, what will you say? Oh, what can you ' say, when you are accused by the little ones for whom you are responsible, and whom you allowed to go to Death or the Devil?" Again, he says: "You fetter the future of your country with the foul bonds of the Harlot. In your mad zeal to compel other races to change their religions, you betray Christ in your own country. The Laymen's Movement really means the world for the Trusts.' With the craftiness of Satan himself, the wolves of the Trusts are donning sheep's clothing. In the name of God, they are setting up, throughout the heathen world, their own golden altars." Read about "Little Dora," the negro child that the missionaries want to buy, and then about the little white slaves of Colorado, who, toil from dawn to dark for their Japanese masters.

V M I L L I Is NTRE PIECES, PERI LUS ALWAYS EXCEL U A L , "One-School" Districts- j For several years I have urged j the forming of "one-school" dis-1 tricts and the levy of a special j school tax. To my previous reasons j for advising this is added a recent and strong one, viz: The policy of the Legislature to give aid only to those weak schools that levy a special tax, and the regulation by i the State board of education allow- i ing aid to only one school in a dis-1 trict. I believe this plan will be i permanent, and sincerely hope thatj our patrons in the large school districts will take steps at once looking towards one school district and the voting of a special tax. The plan is simple: Outline in a petition to the county board of education the territory desired in the new district(which should contain from 15 to 20 square miles), having it signed by one-third or more of the electors and freeholders in said territory, and unless there are special reasons against the forming of such a district the petition will be granted. To such districts the State aid will be as much as they raise by special taxation, but not to exceed $100.00. I will be glad to attend any meetings called for the purpose of considering changes along this line.
