In this issue is announced the candidacy of Mr L P Kinder for Mayor. Mr Kinder is now a member of the 1 council and has served as Mayor pro 1 tern for the past two years. If ] elected we believe Mr Kinder will , do his duty. ^ It pays to advertise in The Record 1 when you have the goods. Last week j the Greelyville Livestock Co sold (in one week) 19 buggies, 1 surrey and 9 wagons. The enterprising man- 1 ager.Mr Rhodus,believes in printer's 1 ink and the results obtained fully ] justify his confidence. , Texas fever is said to be causing J many cattle to die in this county. .] The disease is supposed to result ] from ticks and there seems to be no , cure for it, once the animal becomes infected. Several head of cattle in ' and near town have died recently 1 from the disease, we are informed. Prof Swittenberg seems to have considerable trouble getting his fac- * ulty arranged for next session. Some < of the teachers accept but don't ] stick. Miss Robinson, the principal, j decided to get married, and last week, we understand, another grade ' teacher resigned?not for the same 1 reason, though, we believe. A welcome token, of remembrance I from our old-time friend. Mr J A I Marshall, of Zeb postoffice. last Saturday was two fine, large watermelons, which were thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family.as we had not tasted water-melon for several1 weeks. Needless to say we are grate- | ful for this thoughtful act of kindness. Several alarms of fire have been given the past few days, but fortunately the incipient blaze was in each instance extinguished before much damage resulted. The most narrow c escape was Dr M L Allen's dwell- v ing Tuesday afternoon. The flames broke out in a closet and destroyed 8 about $80 worth of clothing.

Miss Swann has resigned her position in King's Business College and accepted the post of stenographer to the Federal court at Raleigh. This is a well deserved promotion for this young daughter of old Williamsburg and her multitude of friends extend most heartv congratulations. From the local weather bureau correspondent we learn that the total rainfall from 7 o'clock a. m. Sunday till 7 a. m. Tuesday.amounted to 4.82 inches, distributed as follows: Sunday morning to Monday morning.:'.44 inches: Monday morning till Tuesday morning,2.38 inches. Considering the fact that a single inch indicates a pretty heavy rain some idea can be formed of the immense volume of water precipitated Monday and Tuesday. Notice. To Congregation of Corinth:? On account of illness of my wife I will not be able to leave here at present; therefore, there will be no services at Corinth on the first Sunda}^ of September. I hope to be present on the third Sunday. 8-31-11 R L Grier, Pastor. Candidates Cards. For Mayor.

The evening passed ! merrily. Many old-fashioned games vere played and music added to the j pleasure of the occasion.

Our capable young farmer, Mr G ( )llie Epps.was elected chairman and ^ )resided in a very creditable man- , ler. The first speaker introduced was tfr W H Templeton of Abbeville :ounty, fertilizer inspector, who described in detail the manner of inspecting fertilizers. Several ques;iohs were asked by farmers in the j ludience and the information elicited vill be of use to any one who wishes ( ;o have his guano analyzed at any :ime. The next speaker was Mr W R ( Elliott of Fairfield county, who is , connected with Clemson College ex- i ^eriment station. His subject was "irinpinflllv oovt?r croDs and seed se- i ection. He advised the sowing of ye (Southern rye) or vetch and :urning under in the spring. Clover s a good cover crop, but to grow it :he soil would first have to be inocjlated. A small patch can be grown , Dy taking the soil from the garden where the English pea grows and scattering on the ground where you expect to plant, following the same process the next year from the field ast grown, until your soil is inoculated. The planting of legumes was especially emphasized. Numerous questions were asked which indicated the interest of those present. The information given as to the best time to plant rape was interesting. Some of our farmers grew it last year and we know of quite a number who will sow it in time for early spring grazing this year. Prof L A Niven of Winthrop College, who is assistant in science and is college fauna inspector, spoke about fruit culture,protection of the trees and in regard to the selection 'i- . ... , ?.-> ..... j+z CINGSTREE l which a different game was played, and the couples progressed during the evening from one table to another. Heart-dice, dominoes, jack straws, threading the needle,sticking peanuts and anagrams were the games played. At the conclusion of the contest appropriate prizes were awarded to the lucky ones and an elaborate supper of delicious salad, followed by an ice cream course,was served. Miss Etta Jacobs presided over the punch bowl during the 1 svening. Mrs Jacobs' list included: 1 Misses Hazel Gewinner of Macon, \nnie Jenkins.Lillie Ervin, Belle Er- 1 rin, Florrie Jacobs, Lula Brocking- 1 ton, Barbara Jacobs, Guerry Green, 1 S'onie Webb of Charleston, Mamie t 1- _ o.i t>i ^r:?i? jacous.oeima mom, * luia oimnuici, jrett Michie of Darlington, Marie 1 Thorn,Ada Brockington, Clara Mont- i ?omery and Marian Gilland; Dr C D Jacobs, Messrs M H Jacobs, William 1 Scott, Benton Montgomery, George McElveen, Alvin McElveen, Lloyd 1 Smith, William Rodgers.Wilmot Giland.R N Speigner, J D Gilland, J B Alsbrook, P G Gourdin, Dr R C Mc- 1 Tabe, Arthur Brockinton and P H Arrowsmith. i )f soil for peaches. He advised Wanting budded fruit trees one year , )ld, and explained the manner of :rimming trees. He told how the j ittle worm that infests peaches; ;ould be prevented and explained low it got into the peach. He also ; told how to treat pear blight. Mr W P Gee.assistant professor of entomology at Clemson College, spoke of field crop insects. He was introduced as the man from the "bug house." Some one wanted to know if it were a "humbug." He mentioned a great many pests destructive to field crops: the red spider, cotton root louse, cotton leaf caterpillars that defoliate the stalk, and the much dreaded boll weevil, which has not appeared here yet but is gradually approaching. Some one asked the "bug man" about cotton w*ilt (and really, Mr Editor, this seems like a "wilting" i subjec :), for he only remarked that, j "It is a bacterial disease in the soil, and wo should plant the wilt resistant." Then he seemed ready to dis-; miss the subject. At one-thirty o'clock in the afternoon an elegant luncheon was served ; and enjoyed immensely, which was attested by the unanimous vote of thanks to Mrs Lucile McCullough, Misses Maude Chandler, Sadie Snowien and Ervin McCullough for their gracioi.s services rendered while j dinner was being eaten. Thuisday morning Prof 0 M | Mitchell of Rome drove up in his handsome touring car and hurried: away with the party, who were booked to address the Romans at Union High school Thursday evening. Notwithstanding the disastrous effect of the past few days of stormy weather one might wonder why Superintendent of Education J G McCullough is wearing that broad smile. The advent of the little Miss last Tuesday , August 22, dismisses the mists of the cloudy days and brings sunshine into the house. The family consists of all boys, except numbers six and eight. Mr J S McCullough is also proud of his l>ouncing young lady who saw the light of day for the first time Thursday, August 24. Mr and Mrs ? Phillips have rej t _ r-^1, turned iroill a trip LUj tuiumuia, Sumtei and other points, where they visited friends. Miss Ulma Crooks is at home, after an extended visit to friends and relatives at Andrews. Mr C W Boykin of Greelyville is visiting- his sister, Mrs W T Phillips, at this place.

Monday night, a bout 11:30 o'clock, )r E T Kelley heard a noise in his ront yard #s of some one groaning, it first he could not locate the ound but at last with the assistance f some neighbors he found a negro astened in some way to the fence, 'he negro, it is supposed,was trying o get into the house with burglarius intent and climbing the fence in he darkness found himself trapped. When called upon to give an aci>unt of himself he said that his ame was James Wilson and that he ame here from Hartsville to do a )b of painting and meantime got runk. He did not seem to be drunk 'hen captured, however. His explanation of the affair being nsatisfactory,*Wilson (or whatever is name may be) was committed to lil to answer a c large of attempted urglary. There have been a number of atimpts at house-breaking here lately nd if proved guilty this negro will o doubt l>e taught a lesson.
