street bankers make overtures
looking to the i>oosting of the price
of cotton.
Says the Spartainburg Spartan:
According to some theologies
Henry Beattie confessed his sins,
repented* and has gone to heaven.
His wife, the victim of his murderous
bullets, died suddenly,
without preparation, and may
not be in heaven.
Seed Cotton License Matter.
Editor County Record:?
Allow us to explain our position in
reference to your editorial comment
and suggestions in the last issue of
your paper. We have the information
from an attorney of high standing
that the board of County Commissioners
has the power only to
raise the price of seed cotton license
to the amount of $500, maximum
price laid down by the General Assembly
for the entire State. So we
are petitioning the General Assembly
to make $1,500 the minimum
*
.
The speedy trial and conviction
of Beattie, the wife murderer, and
the firmness of Governor Mann
in refusing to interfere with the
verdict of the jury, have elicited
many encomiums upon "Virginia
justice," and this is as it should
be. But suppose it had happened
in South Carolina under present
conditions?does anybody seriously
believe the murderer would ever
have expiated his crime? And
that lack of confidence in the power
of the law is responsible for the
wave of crime that sweeps over
our State today.
"'A Reader" asks us the best
method to cure a ham. If "A
Reader" will tell us how to procure
a nice, juicy ham, we will
undertake to show him how to
cure it with neatness and despatch
.
Most of the farmers with whom
we have discussed the matter seem
inclined to look'upon the offer of the
New York bankers to finance the
cotton crop of the South with doubt
and even suspicion. One of the most
successful and intelligent farmers in
the county remarked that he could
not see how the price of cotton
would ever go higher by storing it
and at the same time keeping it "in
the channels of trade." It does
look like a Trojan horse when Wall
I
price for Williamsburg county. And j
we do not think that the $500 li-,
cense would make it entirely prohibitory
in our county, so we ask for
the minimum of $l,500,as we do not,
i wish to shut out the small man and J
allow the rich and well-to-do a chance j
I to monopolize the entire traffic in ,
seed cotton.
Very respectfully,
S W Jennings.

j Lake City, November 28:?Rev C
1C Derrick left Tuesday morning for
Bennettsville to attend the annual
I session of the South Carolina Methodist
Conference. Mr Derrick won
I the esteem and confidence not only
of the members of his own pastorate
but of the Christians of all denominations
and of the people generally,
and all hope that he will be returned
to this charge.
And now, even the 'possum has
been sent us. Last Thursday, when
we entered the dining-room, the
Madam.throwing open the safe door.
, said, "Look!" This writer looked,
and beheld a fine young 'possum all
'cleaned nicely,fat, juicy and ready,
for the oven. The package containing
"His Excellency" bore the sim,
pie legend, "Compliments of R C
McElveen." Only a few brief words,
but what a world of meaning! We
certainly appreciated this kindness
and are very grateful to the donor. .
j That 'possum made the finest dinner
to which this writer has sat down to
in many a day.
Robberies have become so frequent
here that they receive but little
notice. The store of Sauls-Baker Co
| was entered and robbed Saturday
! night a week ago, but so little was
said about it that we failed to hear
j of it until Wednesday night, too
j late to report for the last issue of
! The Record. How much and what
was taken can only be conjectured. I
The robbers prepared to add murder J
to robbery in case of detection. They j
took two guns out of stock and loaded
them.

Did we get that Thanksgiving
turkey? We "show" did. Yesterday
morning, when we had about
despaired, our kind-hearted friend,
Dr Snider, sent us around a fine
turkey and we became imbued with
?. spirit of fervent thanksgiving
which has not abated even after the
festive day has come and gone
Scarcely had the "turk" got usee
to his new environment when there
came another?a big gobbler and t
pumpkin, both of which were con
tributed to our larder by Mr Free
Hodge, of Belsers X Koads. .f reer
is one of the most energetic and sua
cessful young farmers of his community
and his turkeys are
as fine as his crops.
To both thesefriends we extend our
heartfelt thanks, assuring them thai
their thoughtful kindness will long be
remembered.
Had our friend, Koester, of the
Greenville Piedmont, been withir
reach we should have given him a
bid to the feast; then he could have
told his people where to find the
perfect type of the "national bird.'
