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

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!

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.

Foreign Missions.
Watson's Magazine for March,
which is the successor to Watson's
| Jeffersonian Magazine, will contain
" another editorial on Foreign Missions,
and also an eloquent defence
\f the present system. Every one1
nas been waiting, watching and
1 hoping for another word from Mr
, j Watson on this subject.
Tom Watson says: "Christians
' of America! 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.

"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.
