Recently we have received state ments from local business men some printed out of town and oth ers stamped with a rubber stamp We don't blame the rubber stamj man so much; if that's his style let him have it. But we cannot un derstand how a merchant in thii town can send elsewhere to have i little simple job of printing dom when we can d<> it just as well o bett?r, just as cheap or cheaper right her; at home. We have estab lished a irinting plaftt here costinj five or six thousand dollars, wliicl gives employment to five men. Ou: pay-roll is about fifty dollars a week practically all of which is spent ii Kingstree. We pay taxes on oui printing plant and a little home be sides. Bat the strongest claim w< can advai ce is the persistent worl we have done, year in, year out, foi I a dozen years, never stopping or tir ing, helping to build up our town devoting columns and pages to it up-building and fostering fcvery en terprise ever established or ever projected here. We ask in all fair ness, what has any out-of-towr printing concern ever done to lielp build up Kingstree? .Moreover, the very men who semi their work out of town?some ol them?are constantly urging us t< impress on our readers the necessity of patronizing home enterprise Where is their consistency? We feel a natural delicacy in re ferring to these matters, but wher such striking instances of inconsistency and lack of community interest come home to us, we would dc ourself, and the town as well, an injustice to let them pass unheeded When a dollar goes away from town for anything that can l?e bough i here, just that amount goes out o: local circulation forever. Did yov ever think of that? It would pa\ in the long run to patronize hoim dealers even at a little highei I price, but we do not ask that. All we ask is a square deal?a chance to figure with the out-oft .. town fellow. We are satisfied that our friend? dothe-e things mainly from thought. lessness, but surelv it -is time t<? do ' 1 some thinking along the line -uggested. If we ever expect our town , . i to amount toanytning let u^patroii. ize l.ome enterprise ami keep the dollar- at home. , The Lone Star State, as usual, reports the first hale of new cotton, but Lake City claims the honor of the first cotton bloom. We take pleasure in adding to j our exchange li -t the Pee Dee News & Herald of Marion, ed' ited and published by Dr W S . Stokes, who is also editor of the Lake City News. Being mindful 1 of the trying experience of keep> ing one paper going this hot ^ weather, we sympathize with Editor i Stokes in his effort to look after "twins," with the inevitable squalls ( and other unpleasant phenomena attendant thereon. A strenuous undertaking, to put it mildly, he i has entered upon. i Williamsburg's Banks. A glance at the quarterly state* it-- * i 1 ?nr:ii:.ran ? menu 01 uie iour uuiins ui n imamoburg county,which we publish today, ? does not by any means indicate havl times. The three local banks have a combined deposit account of nearly $350,000, of which amount about $190,000 is savings deposits. One > bank alone, it will be noted, carries . over $J 12,000 in its savings department. For the county the total combin ed deposits foot up something like $370,000, of which large amount . more than $200,000 represents savings deposits. All of which leads to the conclu sion that the people of old Williams, burg are far from "broke" yet, and . the cry of "hard times" is louder than is justified by actual conditions. We may add that our county can 1 boast of four well-managed and ' flourishing banking institutions, any - of which, we believe, is entirely ? worthy of confidence. It is gratil fying indeed to see them all basking in the golden sun-light of prosperity.

' -^IBLE'STDDfES' THE FALL OF SAMARIA { II Kings 17:1-18?June 18 "Be that being often reproved hnrdeneth Hie neck ihall suddenly be destroyed, and that iclthout remedy." ?Proverbs 19:1. n OS HE A, Ring or Israeu the central personage of this study. Is paid the rather doubiiul compliment of being less evil tn the Lord's sight than some of his predecessors. Gradually the Assyrian i kingdom bad extended its controi to Israel, and Hosbea maintained bis throne by paying tribute. This continued for several years un til the King of Israel thought himself ! anfflelpntlv In leflorue with the Ectvd : tians on the south to refuse further . tribute money. In consequence, the t Assyrian army 39Bm2/ advanced and EggfiNr j laid siege to the marla. It seems deed, to learn y^jBk^^laV that the city with- & stood the siege 7 ! for three year*. 1- 33&?4^^ The end came In ^ ?3k? A ' the ninth year of Hoshea. and slg- C tatml\lZ? ^ nlfied the end of , the ten-tribe kingdom, the people being transported by their captors several ! hundred miles to another portion of , the Assyrian empire. The overthrow of Israel, recounted j In this study, we are directly told, was i a Judgment from the Lord "Tbere' fore the Lord waa very angry with ' Israel and removed them oat of His i sight; there were none left bat the | tribe of Judeb only." Bin tends to national destruction In a very natural way?by sapping the | vitals of the people of the nation. Bat : In Israel's case there was something ; more than this. God entered into a special Covenant with that nation by which He bound Himself and they bound themselves. Israel agreed to be God's people, to i serve and obey Him faithfully; and God agreed that, if they would do so. | He would specially favor them and look out for their interests, the'r flocks, their herds, their health, thtfr j prosperity; all were to be blessed s > long ns they were loyal and true. O i! the contrary, God specially pledgod Hbnself that If they as a people prov-1 ed unfaithful to the Covenant, He i would specially chastise them, punish them, deliver them to their enemies., etc. Thus Israel's prosperity or defeat Indicated surely the Lord's favor or disfavor. In a manner not applicable to other nations. Destroyed Without Remedy i Cur text, taken from Proverbs, tells whit will be the final outcome of any conflict between God and the sinner i Wh oever shall be remanded to the 8ec- j i onc'l Death, there will be ro hope for j him. i The philosophy of this Is plain: j J | Adamlc death, which comes to all men j as i result of Adam's sin and his con 5 demnatlon as a sinner. Is to be entire- ' i ly wiped out, and Adam and all of his j racs are to be fully released from It < Those of us who, as the Splrlt-begot- f ten Church, enjoy this favor In the ' I present time, must not expect any i further favor along this line In the fu ! turs, for Christ dieth no more; and j ! only one share In His redemptive work | Is provided for every member of the raca When In the future all the world are brought to a knowledge of the Truth, the grace of God will then be to them "a savor of life unto life, or of death unto death," as It Is now to , the Church. Israel's Promised Restitution The Israelites suffered the penalty for their failure as a nation; they were destroyed, HflPT but not without jHHy j remedy. Indeed, cPfepi-r l^e B*hle tells ns that *n tbe end of this Age. as 8000 aB l 1i election of the |J Church shall ! a | have been com^ j I | pleted and the <W|JL Iflrst Resurrectlon accomplish ffostso'smMsewrsfa ^ God j favor Sn9t will return to Israel the twelve tribes, and their regatl erlng will be the first blessing to huuanlty under Messiah's glorious relgr St Paul brings thin mutter to our attention very explicitly In his letter J to tie Romans, (1155-32.) The logic r of 1.1s argument should be carefully / noted. Including the fact that Natural Israel will receive mercy at the hands of Spiritual Israel?In the Kingdom. The nation of Israel transgressed i Divine commands, and was therefore j , worthy of punishment?but this did ; | not signify that the nation would be- i come alienated from the Divine mercy , which God had already Intended and I promised through Abraham. I Neither Israel, in the days' of Ho- j shea nor at any other1 time, nor any ; other nation, knew anything about j the life and Immortality which God i purposed to proffer to mankind j through the Redeemer In due time, j As the Apostle again says, "This great ; salvation bjgan to be spoken by our Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him."?Heb. 2:3. ? i i t ^ Free Roun Charle The Retail Merchan Out-of town shoppers may con one to five days, attend the theai etc, do their buying and have th< round trip.
