Moore's pile of corn, also Archie
Odom's. a letter from the editor of
The Record telling about Mr D F
Baxley's wonderful corn-growing
1 achievement in producing more than
1,000 bushels of corn on ten acres.
All this and a great deal more interesting
data pertaining to our own
fair country are set forth in a very
attractive form in this pamphlet,

Messrs S W Puckette and T S
'Scaife and Misses Maud Simpson |;
; and Melvelle Gibson spent Friday
last in Florence. School exercises
1 were dispensed with and the chil
dren given a holiday. It is said that j
the object of the visit was to attend
some meetiug connected with school1

Among those who were in Kingstree
Monday were Messrs W E Severance.

Drs A H Williams. J D White- 1

last week. J
Fertilizers are being hauled away 1
from here in large quantities. It is
not unusual to see fifteen wagons j
loaded with the manures at one time i
and at one place. There is no doubt
that fertilizers mixed with brains
will go far towards making this
country a land of fine crops, Without
manures this soil will produce
: very little; with the proper manures
used intelligently it will produce
alfnost anything.
The Baptists are completing their
parsonage on Thomas street. The
building is a neat, two story house
and will make a convenient and comfortable
home for the pastor.
Mr J P Philips, who spent several
months recently in Birmingham, Ala,
has returned. He is very much improved
in health and appearance; in
fact, he looks better than for several
years.
Some travelers put up at what is
regarded as one of the best hotels in
Columbia, one night recently. They
were actually given shucks to sleep
on and charged at the rate of $3.00
per day. Further, one fellow was
1 not allowed a shuck pile to himself,
but two were crowded on one pile.
They were supplied with one pitcher
of drinking water, but no glass, and
all were obliged to drink from the
same pitcher, and that "by word of 1
mouth". At breakfast, the service
was exceedingly poor and the food <
but indifferent. This is no yarn, 1
though the writer is aware that it is 1
hard to believe that one of Columbia's
best hotels will give such
accommodations at such a price. 1

First Census Figures for Williamsburg
Announced.
Washington, February 1: ? The
population of Lake township, Williamsburg
county, under the census
of 1910,was 2,129,as compared with
2,1)55 in 1900, according to figures
announced by the census bureau today.
Lee township, in the same
county, has decreased in population
from 1,413 in 1900 to 1,314 in 1910,
according to the same authority.
Spivey and L 0 Haselden carried
the unfortunate man to Columbia
Friday and placed him in the State
hospital.
The writer has spent three days
in Columbia during the present session
of the General Assembly and
this time was spent in and around the
State House. From what we saw
and heard, we feel justified in saying
that the members of the Williamsburg
delegation are"making good".
Of course everybody knew that Mr

tried before and not found wanting,
but of the others there was no previous
service by which to judge. All
seem to be earnestly striving to do
their duty, and attending to the
business in hand. The delegation
will compare favorably with the
members from other counties and,
as a whole, is superior to the delegations
from some counties.
The greatest peril of this country
is not the "yellow peril," nor the
tariff, nor war, nor famine, but it is
yrced. The desire, the craving, the
all-absorbing passion to accumulate
money is fast taking hold of all classes
and conditions. Rapidly money
is becoming the sole aim of endeavor.
Everything else is being regarded as
af no importance, and the means, if
the object be accomplished, is considered
lightly. The ability to make
money is becoming the only standard

not zealously cultivate selfishness
and hold on to everything he gets,
is looked upon as a failure. The
goddess of "Getting On" is in the
ascendency and no other counts.
This inordinate, insensate and insatiable
greed,unless checked, will surely
bring wreck, ruin and chaos upon
this country. The hand of Providence
alone can avert the destruction
that this greed, which even now
amounts to "hoggishness," will bring
upon our civilization. No nation
ever mounted so rapidly as ours,and
no nation will go down so swiftly
and so deeply, unless some power,
now unforeseen and unthinkable
turn aside, abruptly and ruthlessly.
it may be, the terrible consequences,
of our own selfish actions.
The town council has passed an
ordinance prohibiting the keeping of
hogs, except under certain conditions.
This action is wise and timely.

At Tabor. N C, just across the
| line from Horry county Sunday
night, Robert M Floyd, a native of.
Horry county and a student at the
; State Medical college at Charleston,
; was shot to death by Mrs N M
; Hayes, who -ays that Floyd insulted
j her. Mrs Hayes used an automatic
I pistol. Her statement in brief was: j
j That Floyd came Saturday evening |
j to the door of her house, which was
' locked. She opened the door and
let him in; they shook hands and he j
inquired about an ailment she had |
! which he had come to treat; that he j
; made her an improper proposal and
| laid hands on her and attempted to
take advantage of her; that they
! tussled toward the head of her bed.
j when she ran her liand under a
j pillow and drew out an automatic
i pistol, which she pressed close to!
j her assailant's breast and shot seven.
bullets into him. She said she was i
1 running backwards while shooting
! I
j and both fell out of the door to- j
1 gether. She went back into the:
room, got another pistol and shotj
him twice more. The nirte shots all
took effect, puncturing the man's
body from the waist line to the fore-,
head.
Robert M Floyd, the victim of the
woman's pistol, was about 29 years i
old and was well known in the com I

Mrs Hayes admitted . that when he
visited their home several times be.
t
fore he had acted as a gentleman in
every respect.
A letter was found in Floyd's
pocket from Mrs Hayes, couched in
the friendliest terms, requesting,
him to treat some moles on her face.
The bearer of this letter walked into
barber shop kept by Hayes, the
woman's husband,Saturday evening,
and stated his business. Hayes,who
conducts a country store in connection
with the shop, told Floyd to go
on to the house and that he "would join
him there in a few minutes,
meantime insisting' on Floyd's taking \
supper and spending the night. When
Floyd was shot he had not removed
his overcoat.
The latest reports state that Mr
and Mrs Hayes and Floyd Hayes, a
brother of the husband, have been
lodged in jail pending further investigation
of the affair, which has
caused quite a sensation.

Difficult Scripture* on Helf.
A little Book selling at only ten
cents, postpaid, is having a very wide
circulation?running up into the mi!- ^
lions. It contains some very startling _ ~inforniation
respecting the meaning of
the w.ord Ilell. It claims to demon- ^
strate, bJth from the Hebrew and the
Greek of our Bible, thai Hell is NOT
a place of eternal torment,"1>ut merely
another name for the TOMB, the
GRAVE, THE STATE OF DEATH. It
affects to fchow that man was not redeemed
from a far-off place of eternal
torture, but quotes the Scriptures proving
that he was REDEEMED from the
GRAVE at the cost of his Redeemer's
LIFE and that the Scriptural Hope,
both for the Church and the World,
is a resurrection hope based upon the death
and resurrection of Jesus. The jl
book is certainly worth the reading.
