Our Memorial Edition, We expect to publish next week?our nexi regular issue, 31ay 5?a Memorial Day Edition. The object of this issue is to help to arouse , enthusiasm and interest in the monument unveiling that is to take place here on May 10, under the auspices of the Williamsburg Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. There is still due several hundred dollars on the monument, $ we understand, and every dollar of this should lie in hand before May 10, the day for the\.unveiling exercises. Our. Memorial Day issue will contain from. twelve to sixteen pages, according to the encouragement we 1 receive from the imhlie. Several Daves of this will r ? be reading matter especially adapted to Memorial Daj-, pr< fusely illustrated with appropriate cuts. We are publishing this issue under the auspices of the U D C chapter and for ^11 the extra advertising received for the issue at our regular rates, we will donate one-fourth to the monument fund. Moreover, we expect this edition to run to 2,500 copies,' which will give us nearly one thousand extra papers. These we will furnish the Daughters of - the Confederacy at three cents a copy?the actual cost of produc tion, as we figure it?and they may have the profit on every copy they sell at five cents each. >unds o JT ICE. goods.

Orders for these papers may l>o sent to this office and due credit will l>e given to the monument fund. We are making this proposi tion to try to aid a worthy cause. There Is no money in it for us; in fact, we shall be glad to come out even, the extra expense considered. If the people of Williamsburg are willing . toi help the noble women who have made such splendid efforts to make this monument a reality, here is the opportunity to aid them and at the'-same time get 1 full value for every dollar spent. ' Every sul>scriber' to The Record ought to l>e willing to spend five cents for one extra Copy of the p iper to send to some friend and there .will be hundreds of manure ?nu sjiuuiu muiii ii iur* as a memento'of the occasion. Our solicitor will see the business men who are not already our advertisers and we hope to h ve a liberal response. RemeniUt this is not a Kingstree affair?the honor of Williamsburg county is at stake. We must all pull together and make the unveiling of the monument to our Confederate soldiers a success. The Democratic party in Beaufort has split, the press despatches report. Probably of all the counties in the State Beaufort can least afford a split in the ranks of the party. We are publishing from week to week a series of articles fur- , nished us by the director of Clem- ; son College experiment station. 1 We hope that these articles will h*' helnful to our farmer friends. ""1 1 They take up a great deal of our ( space, hut we are glad to utilize ] it in that way if any benefit re- ; suits. The paper belongs to our readers and it is always orir desire to conduct it according to the j ( wishes of a majority of them, i We would like very much to.; have an expression from some of 11 our intelligent farmer readers asj | to whether the articles are of practical value. It is to l)e hoped that the reports of the disastrous effects of the freeze over the South are exaggerated. After the smoke of the battle is cleared away it j ) usually happens that not near so many men are killed as were at first reported, and probably the reporters and newspaper cor-, respondents over the country, in} their excess of zeal for news and 1 sensation have over-stated the! facts. At any rate, conditions j locally are by no means disheartening and it is to J>e hoped \ 1 ?/va/V-WV-S*V-VA~?A-WV-?*V< 2v?&r?/v?/v-Sv f Gran WE CUT PRI ley.

We congratulate our enterprising contemporary, the Charleston Evening Post, on its latest forward movement. The Post is a splendid newspaper?there is no better after noon paper published anywhere ir the State?but heretofore, owing tc the fact that it did not reach jriany points outside of Charleston until the day after publication, its circu * > ' lation has been almost entirely confined to that city. Now, however, The Post gets out a 2:30 p it edition which reaches Kingstree about 6 o'clock, so that now we get the news the day that it happens. With this distinct advantage over other newspapers, Ibe Post ought to be able to build up a fine circulation through this section. THE OIL MILL SITUATION. ?7?'. ' ?h?; ' Deal Pending to Sell Local Planl ?Matter Still In Embryo. There have been various rumors about town for the past week or twc relative to a deal pending betweer the South1" Atlantic Oil Company and certain parties in Darlington, which, if effected, will result in the local mill changing hands and being remodeled under new management. While this is a consummation devoutly to be hoped, as it would be a material advantage to the town for the oil mill to resume operation under favoring conditions, yet we have it on the best authority that the whole affair is as yet merely under consideration and by no means a certainty. We have been advised of the pending deal for some time buf deemed it premature to give the matter publicity while in an embryctoto U111V OlUb^t Our readers may rest assured that when this or any other matter affecting the interest of Kingstree becomes an assured fact no time will be lost in giving it publicity through Ihe medium of this newspaper.

The firm of Knight, Yancey & Co. T Alabama cotton merchants, failed ; last week for $6,000,000, Fraud 11 being charged, an investigation is 1 pending. Like Charles, Louisiana, a town of 25,000 inhabitants, was almost swept out of existence by fire 1 Saturday. Several hufidred buildings were destroyed causing a loss of over $3,000,000. At Atlanta, Ga., Saturday night, W H Bryson and S T Brown, conductor and motorman, respectively, on a suburban street car, were shot 1 down by three negro highwaymen, ! the object being robbery. Con ductor Bryson was robbed of $35. Brown the motorman, is dead and . Bryson is not expected to live. The latter 1s a native of Laurens county. Tom Cason, an industrious negro, was found dead in the woods near Greenv$e last Friday. A gun-shot wound in the stomach told th^ story of how the man met his death. t This is the second mysterious killing that has occurred within a week . in the same vicinity. A feud , among certain negro families is t said to be the cause. A*$200,000 hotel is soon to be built to replace the recently burned I Spartan Inn, and Greenville is to . have a new hostelry containing 150 rooms. The whites of Coleman, Texas, . have risen up in arms to drive out the negro population. With clubs and stones hundreds attacked the negroes driving them out with i threats of death. Freezing weather over the South i i3 reported to have done great damf age. Millions of acres of cotton ' are destroyed and seed for replant! ing is scarce. In the upper part of this /State, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi heavy frosts, snow and freezing weather prevailed several days last week.
