The tabular statement of partial { returns from the voting precinct? | is not vouched for as living accu- 1 rate. In fact, it would be very i remarkable indeed if it were free i from errors, the way we had to i get them. Most of them came over the 'phone Tuesday night, everything hurried and confused, and we simply had to do the j l?est we could. For valuable as- ] sistance in gathering these returns 1 we are under obligation to Mr * Geo A McElveen, the enterprising ^ and wide-awake hxal correspond eut of the Charleston News and r ' ?v a. ..... ; courier. l>e.\l v\rviv in- rimu, UC | usual, publish the official count * ' in tabular form, showing thenum- 4 l>er t4 votes received by each in- L dividual candidate at every pre- , find in tlie county. i To get up this statement is extensive and lalxirious?far more 1 so than the average reader ever * realizes?but The Record believes ' that its readers appreciate its ef- ( fort to give them a first-class newspaper and we shall not fail them so long as "they give us the backing that they have in the j jK^t. ________ , Well, the first spasm i- over. 1 < Watch the line-up of certain i jxdls?does it look like mere coincidence?

An exchange remarks: "Don't *?-nd us stale newspaper clippings to nil up; even a eahhage would *>e more tilling." Right you are, brother, if we wanted to publish newspaper clippings The Record has a supply on hand to run a dozen years more. Our neighbor, the Lake City News, i* a strong advocate of prohibition, I?eing a zealous supporter of Mr Richards for Governor; but the "ready-print" people gave it a rough deal last wtt'k, tilling up the patent part with eulogies of Blease and McLeod. Tliat's one of the disadvantages of a patent sheet. We tried it for a number of years, hut after ['hanging to the all home print, we would hardly Ik* willing to jo hack to the other if the ready print didn't cost anything. Bet-( ;er cut out the patent, Brother Stokes, and then you can select ill the matter that you give your eaders. Appeal tor the Orphans. Editor County Record:? Will you be so kind as to announce n your columns that September 24, L910, has been set apart as "Worn Oay" for the orphanages in South Carolina? It is earnestly desired :hat every person, young and old, vill devote the proceeds of salary or ?arnings that day to the work of nointainihg orphan children in the State.

Don't Be a Burr. Tne editor of The Caruthsville (Ga) Democrat sums it up this way: "No man has a riprht to hitch himself <>nto a town as a boy hitches his sled onto a passing wagon?to be drawn somewhere without personal exertion. It is just the same thing as being a cockle-burr in a colt's tail as to be that kind of citizen. The burr goes if the colt does, and if the colt dies the burr ceases forever. Don't be a burr." Increases occurred in 123 of the chief articles imported into the Philippines from the United States in U09. Import duties Collected in lHt?9 amounted to ?>>.pnl,97", an increase ever IP'.vs of One of the prettiest occasions Kingstree's society has enjoyed for some time was the "Game Quest" by Miss Marion Gilland, at the beautiful home of Mr and Mrs Thos M Gilland.on Academy street. Wednes day evening:, August 24, in com pi i. ment to her gue.-t, Miss Theo Gregg of Sumter. Many games were played during the evening, during which punch was served, Mrs Hugh McCutchen presiding over the bowl. At the conclusion of the games a delightful course of crtam and cake wa3 served. A lively contest was waged, in which the first prize for the ladies was won by Miss Oi ea-a Montgomery, and that offered to men was won by Mr William R Scott. The "booby" prize was won by Mr L M Walker and the "guest of honor" prize by Miss Theo Gregg, this last being a beautiful golden wish-bone. Among Miss Gilland's guests were: Miss Sherrod, of Louisiana; Miss Theo Gregg, of Sumter; Miss Nonie Webb, of Charleston; Misses Lillie Cunningham, Odessa Montgomery.Ada Brockington,Clara Montgomery and Annie Gregg; Mes-, srs W R Scott, E L Fishburne, L M Walker, D A Brockinton, C D Jacobs, EL Montgomery, Benton Montgomery. . . On Tuesday evening,the 23rd inst, Mr and Mrs Thomas McCutchen entertained a few friends at tea. The dininc- room was beautifully deco rated and a three-course menu was served the guests by Misses Lillie Cannir.gham and Augusta Sherrod. The occasion was indeed a delightful one and all those attending enjoyed the evening to the fullest extent. # * # This same evening Miss Marion McFadden entertained the''younger set" at a lawn party, at her home on Logan street. The entire front yard was beautifully lighted up with Japanese lamps hanging from the trees and strung around the lawn, making a very imposing sight. Tables were placed out on the cool lawn and at a late hour a delightful course of cream and cake was served. Excellent music was furnished from the parlor and the evening will not soon be forgotten by those attending. Beware ol Agents. Once again, don't be led into buying sewing machines, ranges or any sort of household or farm equipment from traveling agents. These men must have a living from their work, and you pay the extra cost this entails above the profit of the manufacturer, wholesale and retailer. In many cases this added cost is 50 to 100 per cent, of the price of the article obtained direct from the manufacturer or from your local merchant. The agent's story that his goods are better than those you can get at less cost from your merchant or the manufacturer can always be safely disregarded. The agent may believe what he is telling you, but that is no reason you should. The highest grade articles, can oftener be had from the merchant than from the traveling agent, and invariably at a lower price. ?Itakigh (X. C.)Progressive Farmer awl (ragetth. No Doubt?Same Here. It would have been a great deal easier, and possibly more profitable, I I for the Times and Democrat to line up with the rich lumbermen and our rich Congressman in the lumber tax iif fight than to stand up for the good old Democratic doctrine of "equal rights to ail and special privileges to none," but it is not the first time the Times and Democrat has pursued the path of duty instead of the path of expediency and gain.and it won't be the last.?
