KING.STREE?THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY, APR. 13. 1911.
Our sprightly Contemporary, the Georgetown
Daily Item, lias ]
merged into a stuck company and '
]
the paper is soon to be equipped
with a linotype and other j
up-to-date material. Editor Rouse (
deserves niueli credit for the \
plucky light he has made keeping
a daily paper afloat in a j
small town for several yea is single 1
handed and it i-? gratifying to ^
note that the public-spirited busi- '
netw men of the town have come
to his aid in a financial way. j
A newspaper ? even a ' 'country
?
weekly"?is a heavy load for one
man of limited means to carry, ^
as the editor of The Record can
?
well testify. A corporation for ]
a local newspaper means co-op- 1
eration. The editor has his mind ^
relieved of business cares?trying to j
j make make one dollar do the
work of two?long enough to de- ^
vote his attention and thinking ^
powers toward getting up inter- ]
eating l eading matter. When the
multiple duties of editor, reporter, e
proof-reader, book-keeper, bill col- 1
lector aad a dozen other functions, ^
more or less, fall on one man, 1
C
it is not strange that mistakes occur
or that the quality of reading j
ma iter is not up the standard |
of the city daily. The overworked
country editor's highest j
thought and most strenuous effort
are generally expended in raising '
the wherewithal to meet the week- i
ly pay-roll or pay over-due drafts
for paper and printing material.
He has little time for intellectual
research or for framing flowery
phrases.
Two French editors at New ;
(Means came to Mows last week
as the culmination of a bitter '
newspaper feud. It is rather significant
tluit names of the rival
papers are the "Wasp" and the '
"Bee," and the amusing feature
of the encounter is that the "Bee"
got the l>est of the fight. In
other words, the bee out-stung
the wasp?about as rare and. unexpected
a* a feat as the timeI
t '
honored victory of the tortoise:
v < I
over the hare in a Marathon i
stunt.
Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary
of the tiring on Fort
Sumter. We have arranged with
the American Press Association
for the exclusive right for this
section to print the story of that
mcmorahlc event, as told by the
leaders on lx>th sides, settling
conclusively the disputed question
as to who fired the first shot iu
the momentous conflict which
followed that famous shot ''heard
round the world.
KINGSTREE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. \

Misses Ruth Phillips and Beth McGill

respective homes near Benson.
On last Friday afternoon the
Kingstree and Lake City school boys
played a game of base ball here.
The score was 8 to 9 in favor of
Lake City.
The Wee Nee Literary society held
its regular meeting Friday, the 7th
