*, to ask for a receipt?it looked too
much like doubting the other
man's honesty. The other man j
was very busy at the time and,
forgot to give him credit for the|
\ amount paid?it had to be paid |
again. Ever have that experience:
'
v All the the trouble,all the wor- J
the unpleasantness would
have been avoided had the pay-'
ment been made by check in-'
? stead of cash.
Why not place your money in J
this bank and pay all YOUR bills!
by check? It is the ONE safe,
way.

A number of friends have responded
to the appeal and paid up, but
there are still hundreds that have
not. Which class do yon belong to?
Honestly, now,don't you think we've
earned the money you owe us?

We thought the bicycle as a vehicle
of locomotion was obsolescent,but
one pleasant afternoon last week we
noted a string of young bicycle riders
passing through the streets.
There were probably a dozen or
more in the procession and all appeared
to be enjoying the exercise.
''Please find enclosed SI.00 for renewing
my subscription," writes a
subscriber who knows and appreciates
a.good thing. "The Record has
been a welcome visitor to us for
twenty years; don't want to miss a
number." That's the kind of subscribers
we like?those who praise
the paper and pay for it as well.
Friends of the family were grieved
to hear of the death of Mrs Lula C
Kennedy's infant child. Mrs.Kennedy
is the widow of Mr Henry E
Kennedy, whose death occurred ir
this county less than a year ago
Since her husband's demise Mrs
Kennedy has made her home at EuIonia,
in Marion county, and it wai
there that the little one died. The
remajns were brought to this count?
and laid to rest at Indian town churtl
Wednesday afternoon, according to
our information.
Rev W P Meadors has had remarkable
success as presiding eldei

charges in this district are practically
exhibiting a clean sheet at each
quarterly conference. Bishop Wilson
regards Brother Meadors as one
of the best presiding elders in the
entire connection, and South Carolina
has and has had some good
ones.?Southern Christian Advocate.
Mr Roland D Mills took his departure
last week for Marion, tc
make his future .home. Mr Mills,
who is a -capable young business
man of character and intelligence,
goes to take a responsible position as
book-keeper for a large wholesale
grocery company. We wish Mr Mills
success and happiness in his new environment,
albeit we believe he
made a mistake in leaving old Wil
liamsb rg, than which no county ir
the State affords better opportunie:
for ambitious, energetic young men
of ability and good character.
Thanks to our friend, Mr J C Everett
of Salters Depot, we've got i
pumpkin, anyway,for Thanksgiving.
Possums seem to sleep too high foi
us this year and turkey is but a gor
geous dream of departed glory; bul
all joy and gladness have not fadec
as long as there is a vision of crisp,
pies of yellow pumpkin that the frosi
nas ripeneu ana sweetenea unm it it
a golden globe of nectar, fit food foi

Our streets were fairly crowdec
with shopjiers Saturday and most of
the merchants did a thriving busi
itess. Probably more men and wo
men were noted on the streets thai
on any day since the fall seasor
opened, barring of course the day 01
of the circus, October 22. It really
looked as if a fair or carnival were it
progress along about mid-day, si
thronged were the side-walks wit!
eager shoppers. That's what we lik<
to see. You can't come to a bettei
place to buy or sell than Kingstree.
Our printing office is temporarily
without a foreman for the mechanic

1 it is not through our fault that the |

;; Tobias gave notice'several weeks ago j
we haye had three men to accept the j
place \nd keep us deceived up to the j

for his promise the average compos- i
j itor seems to have. We have a man i.

I but he,too, may be squeezing a little
j bigger wage out of his present em- i

1| overcome far worse difficulties than
' j this and all we ask is that our indul1
j gent patrons be a little patient if

| JENKINSON BROS' WORD QUEST.
> The Winners Announced and the
, Prizes Awarded.
About a month ago the enterpris'
| ing firm of Jenkinson Bros Co an5
nounced in The Record a word-form?
i ing contest from the names of the
71 two leading brands of shoes they
1 handle?Walkover for men and May
} I
j Manton for women.
{ About 50 contestants from all
parts of the county and some from
' adjoining counties handed in lists,
5 demonstrating not only the popular|
ity of the shoes offered,but also very
.! strikingly the publicity given by an
i i advertisement in The Record.
' After carefully going over the pa'
i pers Messrs Jenkinson found the respective
highest accredited lists in
[ j the two contests to have been subI
mitted by Mr C W Wolfe with 186
i words formed from "Walkover,"
> and Mrs Nellie Flagler with 100
words from "May Man^on."

! | Result of General Election.
j The boards of canvassers for Federal
and State and county election

ments were overwhelmingly voted
' down. On amending Article 5,Sec2
so as to provide for an additional
1 supreme court Justice, the vote
: stood 151 no to 39 yes. The other
amendments were defeated by even
j bigger odds. It is said that at some
i o: the polls there were no tickets for

of how the years have slipped away

was chronicled in our Lake City correspondence
last week.
