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

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

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.

an Impressive sight It was ft great

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

"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."

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.
