last Friday night at which '
cool drinks of all kinds were served, 1

with good music. The proceeds of 11

Mr G C Huggins has gone to i1
Johnsonville for a stay of a few (
days.
One of the quietest and mildest (
tempered young men in town, one '
who folks rather thought could not 1

be aroused to the pitch of resentment,
a few days ago proved the
truth of the old saying that a sleep- '
ing lion is the dangerous lion. He J
stocd the cursing and vile language s
of a drunken man as long as he j *
could, and then?to say that he beat (
the fellow but weakly conveys an 1
idea of what really took place. m
Nothing short of figurative language I
will describe it. The widely stated <
fact is that he simply beat the stuff- ,
ing out of the drunk. He worked
like a threshing machine and every
lick was like a cyclone to the fellow
on the ground, and not until he

was pulled off the wreck did he
realize the damage done. It is safe
to say that no matter how drunk
he may be this fellow will never
again try such language in the presence
of the "pile driver" that
worked on his head on this occasion.
Miss Lula Hucks of Conway is
visiting in town.
The store of Mr J LC Moore
was broken into ana roDoea rnaay
night last. It is not known at what
hour the robbery took place and it
was not discovered until the store
was opened up Saturday morning.
Entrance was effected by breaking
the glass of the rear door. The
cool and deliberate scoundrel carried
some fifteen pairs of shoes to
the rear door where there was a
light, and selecting the most up-todate
pair in the lot, put them on.
The old ones were left in a nearby
jutter. He also picked out a suit
uf clothes and hunted up. a pair of
scissors and cut the tags off. The
jewelry case was ransacked. Gloves,
hosiery and underclothing were also
ippropriated. Two dress suit cases
were also taken, which very probaby
went off full. It is impossible to
?y just what was stolen, as the
obber did not leave an inventory.
Sfforts were made to secure bloodlounds
from Kingstree and Florence
>ut without avail.
Misses Lillie McElveen and Dellie
HcClam have returned home after
i month's stay at Glenn Springs.
Last week the weeds in town
were sprinkled with "holy water,"
tience an extra growth may be expected
which will make excellent
hrppriinc nlaees for mosauitoes and
K>ol retreats for flies.
It will be of interest to her host
of friends to learn that Miss Hazel
Gilbert is taking the course for
trained nurse at the Roper hospital,
Charleston.
"Chinches" are bad, oh my, but
they are not in it at all with flies
and mosquitoes, when it comes to
spreading disease and death.
Chinches indicate a poor house-keeper.
How about flies and mosquitoes?
They prove a reckless, selfish
md criminally negligent landlord.

OIL MILL MEN HERE.
Local Plant May Be Rehabilitated
or Fertilizer Factory Erected.
Under the ciceronage of Mr L P
Kinder,the popular local representative
of the Southern Cotton Oil com- '
pany, a party of prominent oil mill '
officials went over the oil mill prop- !
erty here, making a careful inspec- '
tion of the buildings and equipment, 1
with a view to making the South At- 1
lantic Oil company?who own the '
property and are letting it go to <
pieces?a final proposition with a ]
view to purchasing it and putting '
the plant in first class condition.
Another object in view was the
possibility of erecting a fertilizer 1
factory here. The latter project, if 1
carried out, means more to the ir.- 5
dustrial advantage of the town than 11
the oil mill, or, at least, that is our ^
information. 1
Which of the two enterprises wi 1 I
maforialiTo?if pithor will hp opt 'I <
tied in a few days, the decision of 1
the executive officers in Columbia I
being largely influenced by the report ,
of the men who inspected the proj -1\
erty here Tuesday.
The oil mill party included the following:
A M Wither, 3essi is,
Columbia; L W Whiting, Charleston,
and W Gaillard. t
Whether or not our town secures '
one or both of these enterprises, a (
first class modern cotton ginnery is (
needed most of all. The time is short, 1
now before the cotton season will be i
here and there is no time to lose. ; j
What say you, gentlemen, the business
men of Kingstree?

NEWS TO TOBACCO GROWERS
Message to Farmers Wko Sell
oa Kingstree Market.
In a letter to The Record Col J G
Slaughter, one of the enterprising
lessees of the Banner Warehouse,
states that he will be here in a few
days to look after the interest of
the tobacco growers. Col Slaughter
adds that he comes loaded with a
big bunch of nice orders, which will
?nahl#? him tn onioronfoa fKo kitrKoaf
market price for every pound of tobacco
sold on the floor of the Banner
Warehouse.
Col Slaughter has worked hard
and spent money freely to help establish
a tobacco njarket in Kingstree,
as well as to build it up bigger
and better, and he says he wants
Kingstree to show up this season
lot less than the third market in the
State, and that if the farmers will
stick to Kingstree he feels safe in
:he assurance that it will rank not
ower than third in the final report.
All of which is a consummation de/outty
to be hoped.
