There was a small fire last Tuesday afternoon in the rear of Dr W j V Broekington's drug store. It is not! known how %the blaze started, but1 fortunately it was discovered before ; much damage was done. "Our Pet" , was not called into service, the fire being put out by the bucket brigade. The Record is a day late this week ; owing to the rush of matter that came in, most of it late, and the j further fact that up to Wednesday j we were-short one printer. Unless, we can get our friends to send in "copy" by Tuesday noon the paper will be late. We can't do a week's ^ ^vork Wednesday and Thursday.

The Kingstree Drug Company fias received from the Secietary of State a commission for a charter, the capital being So,000. The petitioners are: Messrs C J Epps, W A Smith and Dr E T Kelley.

The alleged long distance tele-, phone service here is the poorest j ever. Some days ago, as the story j goes, a county official was trying' vainly to interpret the dulcet tones ! of "Miss Central." when becoming impatient at the muffled mouthings, i he advised the fair operator to re- j move the "gum" from her mouth until she got him the desired connection. I Treasurer J Wesley Cook, for the convenience of our subscribers who : do not come to Kingstree often, has ' kindly consented to receive money on subscription to The Record and we have given him a book to issue temporary receipts therefor. When j he turns the money over to us we will issue a duplicate receipt showing date to which the subscription; is paid. tf.

J Please, friends, don't ask us to do impossibilities; we can't set type by i electricity and after Tuesday practi- i cally all our time is taken correcting: errors and making up forms. Special attention is called to tne big advertisement of the Kingstree Hardware Company this week and next week. The "Favorite" range ; cooking demonstration is both in-1 teresting and instructive and every \ house-keeper who can do so should take advantage of Mrs Harris's lectures.

A Record Breaking Attendance-A Fairly Good Show. The circus has come and gone. Robinson's circus has been coming to Kingstree for half a century and doubtless the show i? bigger and better than ever before. At any rate, it brought more people to Kingstree probably than were ever seen here on any previous occasion, the crowd on the street being estimated all the way from 6,000 to 10,000 people?probably 7,000 would j be nearest the mark. To ascertain j accurately the size of the body of l spectators underneath the "big top" j is of course a matter of impossibiii1 ty, but if the data given us by the ! nress aerent alone: with the show be reliable there were seated under the | canvas on Saturday, October 22, approximately 4,500 men, women and children. The big tent seats 5,100 people and there were not many more than 500 vacant places. The menagerie attached to the ! show was not large, but the animals were fairly good specimens and wellkempt. The herd of six performing elephants was well worth seeing. In the four rings there was always "something doing" and the J chief source of complaint was the ; lack of one or two more sets of eyes ' than the normal person possesses. 'Tne novelty act of the LowandAs, ; Brazilian equestrians who do their j stunts in a tally-ho,excited considerable interest, as did the "dive-toi death" climactic' feat of Linger, j But the strongest feature of the j show is the strong man (no pun inI tended)Warren L Travis. Hisfeat of j lift^ig 14 men standing massed on a j platform is indicative of almost su! per-human powers. There were a number of funny clowns and their antics pleased every one. One thing about the Robinson circus that is highly commendable is the absolute freedom from the gambling, swindling and rowdyism that are too often associated with these traveling shows. If anything of the kind went on here we failed to hear of it. The vast crowd, too, seemed quiet and orderly, all out for a good : time, and we believe they had it. Robinson's circus will always be I welcome in Williamsburg as long as it lives up to its present standard. We are now jobbing staple Dry Goods. When in need of a bolt see us.
