To avoid misunderstanding we have to repeat this from week to week. Some people forget so quickly. That Williamsburg real estate is appreciating in value was strikingly demonstrated here last sales-day when 137 acres of land near Grejlyville, belonging to the estate of C M Richburg,brought $5,930, averaging a little more than $43 the acre. We had this item noted for last week's issue but there are so many of these little things to look after that it is well-nigh impossible to marshal them all in a row at the time needed. We beg to call attention to the fact that our terms for job printing are cash on delivery, we are dependent on this source of revenue to meet our weekly pay-roll. Printers accept no excuse Saturday evening in lieu of their wages. If you don't intend to pay cash for your work we can't afford to handle it. Our prices and the quality of our work will compare favorably with any office in the State,but we must have cash for job work or cut out that department. We understand that three packages of last week's issue of The Record failed to reach their respective destinations. We wrap these packages as carefully as possible, even taking the precaution to tie twine around wrapper after it is pasted. That is about all we can do, it seems, yet we would thank each subscriber to notify us when he misses his paper and we will make every effort to find out where the fault lies. We are informed that the package of papers addressed to Greelyville postoffice last week never got there. This package left our office properly addressed, our mail man tells us,as did all the others. We are sorry, of course, but if the United States mail loses or destroys our packages, we certainly are not to blame. We wrap the packages carefully. but it seems to do no good, it matters not how hard we try to get the paper to our subscribers after all the labor and worry of printing it. \ Once more we have, to remind correspondents that Tuesday, noon, is the extreme, final limit to accept articles of length for the current week. We have several belated articles this week that came in after the time limit expired. We make the time as long as possible; many papers make Monday noon the final hour. It may seem the uninitiated that a few hours over-time makes no material difference, but after Monday every hour in a weekly newspaper office counts as two prior to Monday, The subscriptions of about 500 of our reliable, paid-in-advance subscribers have run out since September or will expire between now and January. We ask these friends to please renew promptly, that we may know how we stand by January 1 If you want your paper discontinuhd,advise us and it will be promptly cut off. We work too hard to get out the paper to have it enter one unwelcome home,if we know it. Remember that unless you are paid a year in advance the price of subscription is $1.25. This applies to all. i lit" ?UV/U \jI IVIH^OUCC will have with them for another year both the presiding elder of this district and the pastor of Kingstree Methodist church.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hundreds of Kingstree readers. P 0 Falkenstein, 415 Darlington street, Florence, SC, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are, in my opinion, an i excellent remedy, il suffered almost j constantly from a dull ache in the 3mall of my back, I also had sharp, shooting pains in my loins and upon arising in the morning I was very lump and snrp Tt was nuite A while i before the stilfness and soreness dis-1 appeared. I finally came to the con-! elusion that my kidneys were disor-' dered, as the secretions were highly colored and contained a sediment. I used a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they acted promptly, removing the lameness and soreness from my back and regulating the passages of the kidney secretions. You are at liberty to publish my statement in return for the benefit I have received from Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
