We hope the friends of The Rec ord, when they come to town to do their trading,will patronize the business houses that advertise in this paper. Remember that without these liberal merchants, bankers and other enterprising business men, the price of subscription would be at least $3 a year for such a paper as The Rec\ ord. You'll find, as a rule, that the men who advertise are wide-awake and on the alert and can give you better bargains than those who do not advertise. This applies not only to Kingstree, but many live and upto-date business men of Lake City, Scranton and Greelyville recognize I the pullinsr power of an ad in The Record. tf JEL mm! . . .

Percival didn't like his name, and neither did Percival's father, but Percival's mother had a say-so in the matter, and that ended it. Percival wished, now that he was twenty years of age ana a rising young bank clerk?or one who wanted to rise, at least?that he had been named George or Henry, these names being far more dignified and substantial as to sound. Percival's father wished that Percival had been named Alexander junior, but he did not voice this aloud, and nobody at the time Peroival had been named seemed to, think how appropriate it would have been to name him Percival Alexander, Jr. Thus things had rocked along for twenty years, during which Percival had been the butt and mockery of his fellows. He had been cured of parting his hair in the middle and of smoking cigarettes, and now, a.

But Pereival stuck to it. He would have no Pereival in his. He went further and secretly encouraged intimate friends to call him Sandy. Then one day he changed. His mother found some new engraved i-ards in his room reading Pereival Clayton Roberts and marveled, even i while she was glad. When his father heard of it he was indignant. But Pereival enlightened them not. But Uncle William did. He view- 1 ed the situation 011 all sides and gave it as his opinion as an expert that there was a girl in the case?a 1 | girl who liked the name of Pereival. j And when Percival was asked < ahout it he drew himself up lianghI tilv.

Inn Broken and Otherwise In* fared by Locomotive Pilot. Monday afternoon, a little before 5 o'clock, as he was going to his borne walking along-side the railroad track, Dr D C Scott was knocked down and seriously hurt by the Florence-Orangeburg train, going south. That and the northbound train from Charleston pass here in the evening and Dr Scott, who was on the east side of the track going home, had stopped, it seems, on or near the pass track and was looking at the incoming train from Charleston, when the one ahead slipped up on him. The train was going very slowly, otherwise. doubtless, he would have been killed outright. As it is, he has a broken arm and is severely bruised about the hip. It is said that at the time the accident occurred the locomotive headlight of the Orangeburg train was not showing. As soon as possible Dr Scott was taken to his home and Drs Gamble and Jacobs promptly ministered to his relief. Tuesday the injured man suffered a great deal of pain and Dr Manning Simons of Charleston came up on the afternoon tfain to see him. Everybody sympathizes deeply with Dr Scott and his family,and all hope that no complications may arise, Oar Clubbing Bates We offer cheap clubbing rates with a number of popular newspapers and periodicals.
