Memorial D a y, 1910, has passed into history. It was a glorious occasion; an epoch in the .annals of Kingstree and Williamsburg, and no citizen of our grand old county who attended the unveiling could help hut feel a thrill of pride that lu^ was taking part % in so splenth*" a memorial to the ^Cbmfed crate'" soldier. Other naone Ve ')et'n erected, their towering iit*, the azure ** aIn,ost tu l>ic re the blue <]o Me heaven itself?magnificent fi'** !,,arhle ^.uid bronze fepr?'8? eos^ many times greater than we were able to afford, even though every citizen jk of our county contributed; but we feel safe in saying that few Memorial shafts have been built thajt represent more loyal, unswerving, tireless and self-sacrificing effort than was put forth by the Daughters of the Confederacy of Williamsburg to accomsolish a purpose that almost every k <one^ -regarded as impracticable. 1- ?? S. i.:A: ,, u? j A very wormy uiiuuuuu, most >f those who voiced an F -opinion, "l?ut the monument that W we could afford to build would r<St, not be creditable either to the -county or to the cause for which " it stool." Hut the "Daughters" never despaired; a handful of des voted women had achieped greater things than this, and they went resolutely to work, year in and out, the word "fail" being ' eliminated from their vocabulary, and as the president of the chapI <rr, in her speech of presentation I ?odest!y stated: "There stands f before you the fruit of our efforts." ??? ?T? A Great Newspaper. The citizens of Kingstree nr.protesting indignantly against the tacit affront put upon them hy nmroint*- nowsnaner. the News and Courier, 1 >y utterly k ignoring in- its columns the imh veiling or the monument to the W s ddiers of the Confederacy, which t<rt>k place here on Memorial Day. On Wednesday morning the News and Courier was filled with reports "f Memorial Day exercises from the different towns of the State, hut not a word from Kingstree, wheje, in addition to the usual exercises of the day, a twentyfive 1^ dred dollar monument was up Ju the presence of hefa Itween two thousand and tliree ! thousand people, many of whom I were visitors from other counties. | The orator of the day was Col. i James H. Armstrong, a distinguished Charlcstonian, and even [the music was furnished hy 'Charleston musicians, the famou* ; First Artillery hand of Fort Moultrie, whose services cost the Da ughters of the Confederacy tin modest little sum of SloO.CO. The Evening Post sent a special reporter up here to write up tin Memorial Day exercises and, wi understand, the telegrapher through mistake sent the article to the News and Courier office. Thai enterprising newspaper, thinking it came from its local correspondent tired lmck a telegram of ecu sure for sending them such stufl by wire. That, of course, wiu calculate*! to check the enthusiasm of the local correspondent and nothing was sent. In the cool insolence of its assumed power and greatness this big metropolitan newspaper has nc patience or sympathy with the affairs or the people of a sniallei town scarcely half a hundred miles distant, whose business men are feeders of almost every legitimate enterprise in Charleston and who have a right to look to thai city and its institutions for a fail and lil>era! spirit of reciprocity.

Crop Conditions?AColoredScrap j -A Rare Old Violin. Bethel, May 10:?vOur section was I visited yesterday, May 9, by a most 1 welcome and refreshing rain, which ! has greatly improved crop cor.' ditions. Cotton that was up suffered right much from the cold, some had to be planted again. Tobacco looks very discouraging, most of the '; plants having died from effect of j the cold and lack of moisture. Oats has suffered also, but with sufficient rain can make a good crop yet. Several of our farmers have planted wheat and are looking 1 foward to having "home-made ^ biscuits" soon. The cropse<msto t be doing fine, being now almost , in full head. Among those who are planting wheat are: G F Williamson, C L Burgess, G W Burgess, W ' H McElveen, J T Frierson and R "l C McElveen. A good many farmers > have planted corn on the "Williami son plan" and are looking foward [ to a big yield. Warren Mouzon was badly cut by Jackson Knight on last Saturday. Both parties are colored. Knight 1 took "leg bail" immediately. > The census man came around this > week and is making a call at e-xry . house. It is very am using to hear ^ the remarks m*de by some of the coiored W about him. i Bethel, Midway and Sardinia Presbyterian churches have secured ' the services of Mr Albert E Wali. 1 ice, a student from Columbia Theological Seminary, to supply them for the summer months. Spring Bank public school closed Friday, May 6, after a term of seven months,. Miss'Mae Padgett? !s now Mrs Williamson?is the efficient teacher. She has given good ' service and is generally liked both by patrons and children. An old violin taken out of pawn I many years ago, now owned by Mr H A Kennedy, dates back to 1736. The writer copied the following " j printed on a piece of linen, or II paper, inside just under the bridge: 1 "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonenfis Faciebat Anno, 1736." Mr Editor, 1 give us the translation. 1 Bethel. A liberal translation of the inscription referred to would be, "Made by Antonio Stradivarius at Cremona, in the year 1736." The Stradivarius violin is one of the most rare and valuable instruments of the kind and the specimen in Mr Kennedy's possession should be worth considerable, if a genuine Stradivarius. Only a few weeks ago one was picked up in a Charleston pawn-shop which experts have estimated to be worth $1,500.?Editor The Record. SIGNALS OF DISTRESS.

K John Teague, a negro farmer, was found dead by the roadside j near Mountville, in Laurens county, 1 last Friday. He was shot through the head and a shot-gun was found j by his side. The supposition is that he killed himself accidentally or i committed suicide. Peter Kennedy, a farmer living on the line between Union and Spartanburg counties, was shot and i killed by his brother, DavidKennedy, ! last Friday. The killing was caused by a dispute over a land lille. Fifteen hundred people were kill! ed last week at San Jose, Costa Rica, by an earth-quake.

We are indebted to Maj E R Lesesne of Greelyville, an enthusiastic veteran, for the following information: The first company that went from Williamsburg was Co B, S C V, Gregg's Regiment, composed of 103 members. Of this company, which went forth to battle for their country on January 4, 1861, only twelve survive, viz: J A Montgomery, S I Mnntgomery, W J Ferrell, E P Montgomery, T E Ragin, E R Lesesne, G K Mitchum, J H Bradham, J A Bradham, J C Tisdale, Calhoun !
