We are indebted to the People's Mercantile Co and the Kingstree Hardware Co for handsome calendars for 1912. Thanks. We were pleased to receive a visit Friday of last week from Mr T J Cottingham, the popular cashier of Farmers & Merchants Bank of Lake City. Senator E C Epps and Representative Kellahan left for Columbia Monday afternoon to be on hand at the opening of the Legislative session Tuesday at noon, Dr John C Boyd, of the United States Navy, and daughter, Miss Alice, have returned to their home ./ U . . at Washington, D t\ after spending some days with relatives near Salters Depot. The rain-fall from 8 a.m.to 8 p.m. ; Monday amounted to 4.35 inches. This about surpasses the record of precipitation locally for the same period of time within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. j The buiiding up of Kingstree still ! goes on despite the dull times. Mr ! R H Keilahan is erecting two neat four-room cottages in North Academy street and Mr W H McGee is putting up a handsome tenant dwelling in Nelson's Addition. Williamsburg county's total taxable property, according to the County Auditor's latest report to the Comptroller General, amounts to $4,644,137.00, which makes the amount of State tax paid by our county, on a 5i mill basis, foot up to $26,703.79. Friday afternoon a kerosene oil stove exploded in the steel cage of the county jail and the flames shot up to the ceiling, but the fire was soon extinguished without anyone being injured or any special damage to the building. The upper story of the jail is said to be fire-proof. I Cards have been received in Kingstree announcing the marriage at Augusta. Ga, on January 2, 1912, of Miss Sadie P Carver and Mr John Ellett Rogers, both of Ellent.on, S C. The bride was recently a teacher in Kingstree Graded and High school and has a host of friends here, who extend best wishes. The roads are said to be in a ru-; inous condition all over the county. Bridges have been swept away and many streams crossing the highways are impassable. There is a big lot of work for Road Engineer Ead-j dy and his road-builders; but remember, friends, it is a physical impossibility to repair the damage everywhere at the same time. Mr E N Clark,the well-known and popular agricultural and immigration agent of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, while here with the Good Roads train Tuesday paid The Record an agreeable visit. Mr Clark is thoroughly alive to anything that conduces to the up-building of the Carolinas and seems to have his every energy directed toward the work in which he is engaged. Mr J W Chandler, the erstwhile popular and urbane host of the Kellahan Hotel.has leased the Clio Hotel, at Clio, in Marlboro county. The hotel is a brand new, two story brick structure with up-to-date appointments in every department. Our friend goes to a good town, in a good county, and we bespeak for ! him the success we feel sure he will deserve. We have been requested by many persons to let the public know through The Record the amount of the contractor's bid for water works and sewerage. Although we have tried repeatedly to get this information,our efforts have thus far failed. As soon as we can find out definitely the amount of the bid we will surely give our readers the benefit of our information. As will be seen in the notice published elsewhere in this issue, the town of Kingstree is advertising for bids for a guard house, town hall and fire engine room. The plans show a substantial, two-story brick structure of modern architecture and appointments. The building will be erected on the site of the present engine house and when completed will fulfill a long existing want that of late years has grown into a necessity. We acknowledge with most appreciative thanks a cordial invitation to the "Second Annual Dinner of the Farmers & Merchants Bank, Lake City, S C," which was given at the Halcyon Hotel yesterday afternoon. The neat and nifty bill of fare was attractive, both from a typographic and a gastronomic standpoint. We regret that unavoidable circumstances prevented our participating in the pleasures of the.festive occasion. Mr Bishop Burgess, the popular salesman for, the People's Mercantile Co, has resigned the position he so capably filled and gone back to his old home near Mouzon postoffice. Mr Burgess was influenced by ill health in taking this step, we underx .1 xt_ _ H X X1 _x ? stand, me connnemem, 01 me store being too much for him. While his many friends are loth to see him depart,yet all hope that his pursuit of health by way of the "simple life" may be eminently suocessful. Mr B F Meeks, head of the Meeks Construction Co, of Atlanta, Ga, who was recently awarded the contract for the installation of a sewerage and water works system for Kingstree, has been busy the past week with Engineer Boyd laying out lines for ditching, etc, and on Monday Mr Meeks expects to start work in earnest by setting one hundred or more laborers to digging.

P H Arrowsmith, Esq, who has been a member of the local bar for the past year, took his departure yesterday for Lake City, where he will continue the practice of his profession. The departure of Mr Bass leaves a good opening in Lake City for an attorney and Mr Arrowsmith will probably find a larger field for i the exer?ise of his talents than at Kingstree, where the profession is a bit over-crowded. Mr Arrowsmith is | a bright and brainy young man, with a very p-omising future, and we bespeak fo:* him abundant success in his new home. We ask our friends who have subscribed to The Woman's World in club with The Record to be patient till we can get a hearing from the magazine publishers. We have forwarded each subscription given us, and a cash remittance accompanied ' each order, yet our subscribers com- i plain that they do not get the "Wo- 1 man's World". We do not know ' what the trouble is, but if, after 1 thorough investigation, we find that 1 the concern is fraudulent or has 1 gone out of business, we will cheerfully protect our subscribers by refunding their money.

Two Local Banks at Annual Meeting Make Fine Showing. The annual meeting of the Bank of Kingstree was held Wednesday, January 3, at which a majorij ty of the stock-holders were represented. The cashier's report showed last year to be one of the best of the many prosperous years this institution has enjoyed. With a capital of $30,000, the net earnings amounted to $10,457.92. The bank's surplus now amounts to $20,000 and the deposits $166,865.35. with loans and discounts aggregating $187,611.72. ine usual dividend or e per cent was declared and the balance passed to surplus. The board of directors was unanimously re-elected, and the same efficient officers and assistants were retained for the ensuing year. The directors are: Messrs R H Kellahan, D C Scott, J F Cooper and John A Kelley. The officers: D C Scott, president; Jno A Kelley, vice president; F W Fairey, cashier; N D Lesesne, assistant cashier; W W Barr, book-keeper. Despite the stormy weather there was a quorum present at the annual meeting of the stock-ho'ders of the Bank of Williamsburg, at its banking house Monday at noon, The report of the cashier showed a net earning of twenty per cent for the past year on a capital of $40,000, which was very satisfactory indeed ; ? a - l- ill . mi _ J to me siocK-noiaers. ine aeposus | amount to $169,844.28; surplus and | profits, 818,246,52; loans and dis-' counts,$181,027.44.

Good seed | corn costs money to produce and j must be paid for. The second sug- jj gestion is, that all seed corn be bought on the ear. There is no other way for the buyer to know what he is getting. It is an invariable rule that seed corn on the ear costs a little more than that shelled off, and this is simply because it requires a better grade ot corn to pass muster on the ear than when it is shelled. Assurance of quality in the corn on the ear more than makes up for the difference in cost. Of course,express or freight charges will be a little higher on a bushel of ear corn than on a bushel of shelled corn, but this is a small matter compared to the difference between good seed corn and poor. ?
