The rain Sunday night seemed t
have been general throughout thi
entire section. In quantity of wate
spilled it ranks among the goo

rage of Salters says he never sa\
anything to equal it, and it is ver
doubtful if any one else ever wil
nessed such a display. Hour afte
hour one flash succeeded another a
one beat of the pendulum follow
another; and the grand and awfi
illumination of the heavens formed
picture with which there is nothinj
to compare. Words can convey bu
little idea of it. Seen, however, i
will hardly be forgotten.

spent Monday in Florence.

last Saturday on business.

Monday on business in the United

W< understand that Superintendent
Seawell has been re-elected for
the next year, and that the following
teachers have also been re-elect^
ed,to wit: Misses Amber Wilks, Bertha
Morris and Melville Gibson.
e Some days ago an article appear0
ed in the daily papers giving the
1 names of towns in the State which
B own fire equipment worth one thou
sand dollars or more. The name of
B Lake City did not appear in the list.
' We do not know the cause of the
ir ? ...l
' | UIIKSMUU, I1U1 Ujjun wuum wj iay mc
-blam*. However, the blame lies
i somewhere, for this town should
have been mentioned and not at the
f bottom, either. We have a new fire
n engine which alone cost more than
>s one thousand dollars spot cash. Besides
this we have hooks, ladders, a
d new engine house, fire bell,fire wells
and concrete tanks. And our equipo
ment has been proven more than
g once and on each occasion demonstrated
its efficiency. In proportion
^ to size no town in this country is
better fixed for fighting fire. It
. may be that the modest town counv
cil failed to make the report asked
ed for. or the fault may belong to
some one elsewhere. Until last ytar
Lake City did not receive credit for
g her true position as a tobacco market.
In the "Year Book" issued by
the department of industries and aga
riculture, this town was barely mentioned
as a tobacco center. When
the truth was forced out, it was
seen that this market is exceeded by
only one in pounds and by none in
the amount of money paid out. The
j writer has not seen the last issue of
e the "Year Book" and hence does
^ not know whether the commissioner
has at last gotten awake to the
* truth. This is mentioned to illus^
trate the consideration that some are
r unwilling to accord us. In the mat'
ter of fire equipment statistics there
1 may have been some more suppression
of facts. W L B

Farmers* Institutes.
The following letter has been
handed us with the request that we
publish same:
I "Yours is among the fqw counties
| that have not yet applied for a Fartmers'
Institute to be held tome time
this summer. I am sure that the
farmers of your county would like
to have one but, on the principle of
what is everybody's business is not
attended to, no one has applied. As
it will be necessary for me to know
all the points at which institutes are
to be held before I can arrange a
a date for any, I am writing to ask
if you will be good enough to take
up the matter with some of the progressive
farmers of your county and
learn from them if such is desired.
If wanted, I can hold two institutes
in your county. If possible, it
is preferred to hold ^hese in the rural
districts and not in the county
seat or the towns. If two are held
I it will be well to distribute them
I well over the county.
I Trusting to hear from you at an
early date, I remain,
Yours ^ry truly,
D N Barrow

The New Methodist Church.
Through the courtesy of the building
committee we have seen the
plans of the new Methodist church.
The contract is now being advertised
to let and the building when completed
and equipped with modern
furniture will cost $15,000 or $16,000.
Judging from the sketches we
have seen of the proposed building
the new church when completed will
be a magnificent structure, massive
in design and ornate in architectural
beauty. It is expected that work
will be begun on the building within
the next 60 days, the subscriptions
already pledged being enough to
warrant the building committee in
going ahead with their plans,
j When the Methodists dedicate
their new house of worship it will
not be long before the other denominations
will erect new church buildings
and our town will no longer
bear the reproach of indifference in
providing churches commensurate
with the material prosperity visible
on every hand.
When you come to town put a
codv of The Record in your pock
et and consult its business directory?the
advertising- column?
in making your purchases. ti

INFLUENCE OF ADVERTISING,
Effect ota Public Good or Bad Ac.
cording to Ad.
The influence of advertising has
penetrated into every stratum of
life. It is hardly conceivable that
th^ there is a home in the United
States where people read the English
1 language that has not been affected
by advertising in some manner or
other.
The effect upon the public mind is
educational and elevating and does
much for the education of classes
who cannot afford books.
In reading advertisements one
reads some of the best worded
phrases and most forceful arguments
that can be found. The direct influence
advertisements bring upon the
reading public is good or bad according
to the ad. The truth is the most
essential requisite and has its effects
accordingly.? The American Presc.
