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. Rats *
and matches are supposed to have r

Miss Mary Swann returned this 9
morning to Raleigh, N C, from a
visit to her mother and sisters here.
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

services at Corinth on the first Sunda}^

for ameliorating farming j

* At the Cedar Swamp school build-1
ng last Wednesday the local farmers j
md a representative body from dif-.
|
'erent neighborhoods gathered to1
lear the discourses of men who had
:ome here to. talk to them on im)roved
agriculture.
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

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

)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

Miss Ulma Crooks is at home, after
an extended visit to friends and

WIND BLEW HARD. I
But No Great Damage Reported
In Kfngstree and County.
f
The wind blew "great guns" }
here Sunday night and the gale con- g
tinued with varying violence until Q
Monday night. Sunday night was ^
the worst stage, however. There ^
was little or no thunder and light- ^
ning but the rain fell in torrents all Q
night and intermittently through ^
Monday and Tuesday, and, in fact,
up to this time the showers continue. _

and opinions differ widely as to the ^
extent of damage to crops caused ^
by the storm. Some estimate the w
damage as low as 5 per cent., while
there think that 25 per cent, of the u
cotton crop is destroyed. ^
While it is disheartening indeed ^
to our farmers to have their crops ^
cut short after they have been made,
yet we are consoled by the thought ^
that it might have been far more
disastrous. Compared with Charleston,
we merely felt the breath of

A Novel "Coon" Trap.
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.
Meantime it is suggested that Dr
Lelley get a patent on his new style (
