Have You Been Counted?
Some of the patriotic citizens
of Kingstree are anxidfe lest
there lx? individuals or families
overlooked in taking the census
of the town. We sympathize with
this spirit of town pride and
while there may be no cause for
apprehension, still it is well to be
- on the safe side and in some way
check up the work of the enumerator.
In some towns there
have already been found instances
where whole familes were overlook
ed and the work of enumeration
had to 1>e done over. Ten veirs ago
/
the census of Kingstree showed
some 7<X) inhabitants within the
town limits. We do not pretend
t<? say, or even suggest,
that the work was not thoroughly
done, or the result not exactly
correct. At that time it did not
seem to matter much whether
the town was given its full
number of inhabitants or .showed
a rapid growth. But conditions
have changed arid this year we
want to be credited with every
single soul living in the town.
.
I.et us see that no person is
overlooked. The figures of this
census will stand for ten years
and if the count does the tbwn an
injustice there is no way of
righting it for that length of
time.
Now, with all due consideration
for the enumerator
for this township, we want to
ask the citizens of Kingstree, one
and all, to try to find out if
any one has been omitted in
counting the names of the
people of our town. We also
ask any who has 1hvii overlooked
to- notify 'us promptly, in
order that the error may V corrected
Vfore it is t<?o late.
Of course, everyone knows that
the enumerator has not purposely
omitted the name of a single
person, and she may have every
name duly reported, hut no one
is miaiiinie; we <?niy want ;o
make sure. These mistakes have
occurred elesewhere; they may
happen here.
Be!.?w we have a printed
coupon, which any one within
the town limits who has lieen
overlooked hy the census-taker
may use in reporting the fact
to this office. The thing to do is

COUPON.
Tliis is t<> certify that the census
enumerator f<?r the Town of Kingstree
has failed to get niy name <>r
that of my up to this time.
George Duncan Bellinger.
Many men art* great only in
their funeral eulogies, so that
when a reallv ahle or distinguished
man dies it is difficult to do
him justice in an obituar". It
was our desire to pay more than
the passing tribute of sigh to
the memory of our recently departed
friend, (i Duncan Bellinger,
and we meant to try in our
feeble way to point out some of
the many virtues in which he
excelled beyond the common run
of mankind. Before committing
our thoughts to writing we read
the following editorial article in
the Columbia State, which expresses
so well our estimate of
Mr Bellinger's high character and
attractive personality that we give
it to our readers, heartily concurring
in every word of the
splendid tribute to one of the
noblest gentlemen that our State
has ever produced:
The minds of those who read I
yesterday in the newspapers that
George Duncan Bellinger, brave,
gallant, tender soul, had passed
away, instantly reverted to the
time, when, as a prosecuting officer,
defending the majesty of
the State of South Carolina, he
strove with all his splendid talents
and resolute energy to bring
to justice the "Broxton Bridge
lynchers"?called "lynchers" by
courtesy but actually murderers of
humble and defenseless negroes.
In those days the spirit of justice
was not as strongly intrenched in
South Carolina as it is now,
however much more it needs to
be strengthened,, and Duncan
Bellinger was one of those prosecuting
officers who in the teeth
of threats by armed ruffians, was
foremost in asserting it, insisting
that criminals punished because
they had done crimes and
without regard to their social
position or political influence.
What progress has been made in
bringing about a letter order in
South Carolina is due to men of
Duncan Bellinger's intrepid kind
and among them the Commonwealth
had none 'older.
Of manner quiet, soft of voice,
and full of a sweet courtesy, his
nature was marked by a fine
quality of passion that made
him feared by doers of wrong
when it was aroused against
them and brought to him troop?
of friends who loved him dearly
for his gentle manliness and
admired him for his striking intelleetual
gifts ?7/e Slate, Slay 6
A Spirit of Reciprocity.
The neat and tasty invitation
sent out by the Kingstree High
sehool has been much admired,
and th? l>est part erf it is the
fact that the work was done
right here at home in the job
office of The County Record.
The Kingstree school in its relations
with the local newspaper
shows a spirit of reciprocity and
appreciation that is as rare as
it is commendable. The Record
has always Ih'cii very lil?eral in
giving school? free advertising notices
and write-up* of all sorts of
entertainments?many of them
1 ' - - * * 1 .. ,
money-naming eiucrpn-t aim vci
most <>f those same schools have
never given us even a letter-head
to print. Their attitude seems
to l?e, get all you can and give
nothing in return. The engraving
houses and hig printcries that
are the only kind worthy to do
the work of some of our veiy
"tony" institutions of learning,
we notice never has aught to say
concerning their commencements,
nor are they even asked to publish
rolls of honor and such like
gratiutics. It wouldn't he any use
use to a-k them and no one
knows it better than the schools
that send their work that is to
he paid for to these concerns.
One of the main obstacles to
Southern progress is the old, timeworn
idea that nothing produced
at home is worth while. As long
as this antiquated notion prevails,
our country will never attain the
high state of development of
which it is capable. Money kept
at home helps to build up the
home community, while every
dollar sent out of the county
and State builds up other communities
at our expense.
The average cost of a Pullman
sleeper is 815,000, which earns
a dividend of 85,000 annually.
Thirty-three and a third per cent
dividend is a pretty fair return,
for which in South Carolina you
have to pa}' two dollars per and
tip the grinning Cerberus besides.
For the past ten years the
Pullman Sleeping Car monopoly
has had an annual dividend of
five hundred per cent on the
money invested, to say nothing
of the tip that pries apart the
Ethopian porter's jaws and discloses
the ivory as indexes of his
appreciation.
Apropos of the case of Hi eh am
and Avant, a petition was circulated
here on Memorial Day asking
that Avant be allowed to serve
his term on the Georgetown county
chaingang instead of in the
State penitentiary. Now it seems
that he has decided not to serve
in either place.
News of the departure to "parts
unknown" of Dr Bigham and W
B Avant is by no means surprising
to those who have kept up
with the case. It looks as if some
one in authori ty has blundered in
letting these men go free, and
whoever is to hlame for their eseape
should Ik? held accountable
for neglett of <'u y.
Of the seven new bishops elected
at the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, which has l>een in session
this week at Asheville, N C, two
are South Carolinians and Wofford
College men. These are Dr
John C Kilgo, the son of a South
Carolina "circuit rider" and who
now has two brothers memlters of
the South Carolina conference, and

merit and energy, backed by character
and industry, has made his

"For a long time I was bothered
with backache and pains across my
kidneys. About two months ago I
started taking Foley Kidney Pills
and soon saw they were doing just
as claimed. I kept on taking them
and now I am free from backache,
and the painful bladder misery is
all gone. I like Foley's Kidney
Pills so Well that I have told many
of my friends and comrades about
them and shall recommend them at
every opportunity." D C Scott.
