I The entertainment given at the opera house last Thursday evening for the benefit of the Episcopal church was a delightful event. The proceeds amounted to $45. There seems to be a mistaken impression that only tree-holders car vote in the election for bonds next Tuesday. Any qualified elector max vote, though he owns not a foot of real estate in the world. Saturday the streets were thronged with people from all parts of the county, and most of the stores seemed crowded with shoppers ? especially those enterprising establishments that advertise in The Record. The editor of The Record has been quite sick since Sunday. He being able to get up but very little local news, the paper is indebted to Rev W A Fairy and others for valued assistance in the hcur of need. Miss Helen Scott entertained a large number of her lady friends in town Wednesday of last week, from 5 to 6 p. m., at a reception given at her hospitable home on North Railroad avenue, in honor of Mrs E C Reichardt of Houston, Texas. All tobacco markets of this State will close on September 29. There is only a little time left and the farmers should market their product as early as possible. Tobacco is bringing too big a price to take chances on next year's market. Dr W V Brockington is arranging to erect a handsome residence on his lot in North Academy street. L W Gilland, Esq, is' also contemplating building a dwelling for himself and family within the next few months. Let the good work go on. The official tabulation of the ballots cast for and against the annexation of the Prospect section of Williamsburg to Floience county was made here Tuesday, showing 74 for and 4 against the proposed annexation. This being merely a "referendum" it will be necessary for the Legislature to act on the matter before it becomes a legalized fact. Several letters and advertisements came in Tuesday evening and Wednesday this week. We cannot get up the belated matter without delaying the paper. We are trying to please our patrons, but there is a limit to doing so. Tuesday noon is the final limit for receiving articles of length. Many weekly papers limit these articles to Monday morning. Rev Frank B Wardlaw has accepted a call to Indiantown Presbyterian church, 15 miles from Kingstree. Rev Mr Wardlaw is well known in the Southern Presbyterian church as the golden-voiced evangelist. He has been as a missionary to Cuba for a year of two. He will remain in this country a.t le;i3t a year and has consented to accept the pastorate at Indiantown during that time. Mr G Ollie Epps, now of Benson, gave us the pleasure of hi? genial presence Saturday afternoon. After taking his place for a while in the "busy marts of trade," Mr Epps answered the call of lowing cattle, green pastures, purling brooks, and joined the-back-to-the-farm movement. And it seems that he ha& struck his forte, *>s this year,despite the damage of the storm, he expects to get fifteen bales from eighteen acres of cotton. Mr Epps is full of energy and enthusiasm, and with half a chance will make good at anything he undertakes. Hymeneal.

Nebuchadnezzar had conquered the world. lie Instituted a great peace celebration and brought his representatives from all "tyirts 0f the then civilized world to Babylon. These 1 were to be duly impressed with the greatness and magnificence of the Babylonian power and of the futillt;. of resisting It They were to be given an Illustration oi the benefactions to ' resi.lt from having one government on/1 hovlntr tho onHre *mr!/1 nt rwon/v* When the great day of celebration came, with the governors, prlncea, cai>talns end provln- ?. c 1 a 1 rulers, the fjjv Judges, treasurers, counselors . and lawyers, in I their various "N T\Sj? .Js robes of office and I S surrounded and J? interspersed with ^j^rj the delegates from m| various nations, ? the banners flying r and the musical "Bti-HcrodacK." Instruments playing, It must have been an Impressive sight It was ft great i time of Jubilation. At the appropriate time the religious unity of the empire was to be demonstrated by a general worship of the golden Image of Bel-Merodaeh. Proclamation was made that soon the bands would begin to play and that then all would be expected to fall down and worship and reverence the | Image. Course# of the Throe Hebrews Everything seemed to go well until ! it was reported to the king thar three governors whom he had set over the provinces had rebelled against his decree and refused to worship the Image of Bel-Merodach ? had defi.d the king's power. Who were these three disturbers of Babylon's pence, spoilers of the great j>eace festival? They j were the three young Hebrews whom I the king had so graciously treated at the time of their captivity and who apparently owed so much to him. The courage of these three Hebrews stands out on the pages of history as sublime! The king had reminded them that none of the gods had been able to deliver any people out of his hand; their own city, Jerusalem, had been overthrown. They could hope for no rescue from the death that w is before them If they persisted In d rfylng the king of the whole earth. Their i answer was that their God, Jeiiovah i they were sure, was quite able to de| liver them from the fiery furnace, or | from anything He might choose, and 1 would do so. But If not and if they ' were certain ot It In advance?never! theless, they would be Ills faithful I servants and worship Him alone. How sublime their faith and their courage! Such faith and such courage we may be sur '' I are pleasing to the Lord. We must (?V not aspect that in every case God will thus deliver St those who trust |gj in Him; rather. 9 Intimated, we are /til our God, nor ? what may be His The Fiery Fur,,*. wU1 what little n-raains of our fives.

"Blessed Are They Who Put Their Trust In Jehovah" The King was seriously disappointed at the only lnharmony that had occurred In connection with his great project, which he felt sure was to work such b>9slngs to all the earth, 1 and such honor to himself. In his fury he commanded that the furnace should be made seven times hotter. The three Hebrews were bound In their clothing, and some of the strongest men of the king's guard were commauded to throw them into the furnace. As the bound men were thrown In, the flames came forth and enveloped those who had thrown them In, and destroyed them. The king already had had some evidence of the power of Jehovah God. and he Intently watched the furnace. As the king looked toward the furnace, to his utter astonishment he beheld four persons walking In the midst of the fire, i unharmed. Tie said to his counselors, j "We cast three men into the furnace. I but, behold, I now see four, free. walking lu the fire, and the fourth has an appearance like a son of the i gods." What had he done? What should he now do? He called to the thre< "Ye servants of the Most High Go*1 corue forth and come hither!" They came, unharmed, with not eveD the smell of scorching upon their clothing. Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged the miracle and praised the God who had thus by His angel ot power delivered His servants that trusted In Him. and who had defied the king's mandates and yielded their bodies that they might not serve nor worship any god except their own God. Truly. ! "Blessed are all they that put their j trust In Him." toifek j A CANDIDATE FOR LYNCHING. Negro Enters White Women's Home-Brutally Attacks One. ' Sheriff Graham was summoned j by wire to Vox postoffice Tuesday j afternoon, that usually quiet, lawabiding community being aroused j over a dastardly crime committed j Sunday night. Shortly after dark : a negro man had entered the home i of an aged lady and her maiden daughter, and choked and beat the younger woman in a most brutal manner. Whatever the motive of the miscreant, whether robbery or worse, the elder woman's cries for help frightened him away before his purpose was accomplished. When the news of the outrage spread about the neighborhood the people were aroused to vengeance and had the guilty man been found he would doubtless have met summary punishment. When the Sheriff arrived on the scene more than a hundred people were gathered around about a dozen negroes who avwnofn^ An anantMAn uau uccii aucoi^u vu 0uu|/>v(vm. These were in the custody of Mr George Lovett, the Sheriffs deputy, who had preceded him to the scene of the trouble the day before. The county blood hounds were secured from the chaingang camp nearby and they trailed the negro from the house to the public road, where the trail was lo3t. From all the testimony that could be gathered suspicion pointed strongly toward one Willie Brown as the guilty party. Brown has left the neighborhood, which tends to con- . firm his guilt. Meantime four other negroes suspected of having knowledge of the crime were placed under arrest and turned over to Magistrate Davis. While at first feeling ran high and there were open threats of lynching, the excitement has subsided to a great extent and the law will probably be allowed to take its course if the guilty negro should be apprehended,as he no doubt will be, sooner or later. ^ T =0=1 F I R E! 1866 1911.!
