Just as soon ; as the county convention meets next Monday there will come no doubt a full crop of candidates. It will take one sheet of The Record to hold their good promises to the voters. Our people here have vowed to vote only for candidates to succeed themselves who have done their duty to the whole people, and where they have not done so, to vote for a new man for the place. We hope all the officers in our county have done their ! full duty. f We have had several refreshing 1 j rains during the past week, and crops are germinating nicely now. 1 Rev Mr Bedenbaugh, of Harpers ! circuit, has been conducting a series ' i of meetings at St Paul's Methodist church and we hope that much good has been accomplished. * ^ Subscriber. Big Real Estate Deal. The biggest deal in farming land ' that has taken place in this county in 1 along time'was made here recently when 1,566 acres of land near Heinei ' i mann changed hands. This large i tract, owned by Pitts Brothers of 1 ( Sumter, was bought by Mrs J P Gam1 b!e,the purchase price being $30,000, 1 a little less than $20 an acre. This is a pretty good price for Williamsburg , dirt,considering the fact that only 500 1 j acres of the land wa? cleared. Ten years ago this same land could hardly have been sold for $5 an acre. The Cold Snap. , From what can be learned in con; versation with parties from differi ent sections of the county the cold weather and frost have not done a , great amount of damage so far as - can 1>e noticed at this time. Cotton, if up at all, is small and a few warm days will restore its vitality, while u- ?TTio corn seems uj ik umujui&u. *uv greatest amount of damage is sustained by truck-growers. Beans an i other early vegetables are partly : killed and what survives will be - of inferior quality. Altogether the outloe k in the county is not near r so bad as it might have been. !
