Mrs Wolfe ind little daughter Stella left for ! }reenville via Lanes Friday night, I irriving there Saturday afternoon, n the meantime another dispatch vas received Saturday about noon itating that Mr Wolfe was better. Jp to the hour of going to press to- ; iav we have heard nothing further , :oncerning his condition but feel , :ontident that he is doing as well as :an be expected. i We take pleasure in inviting the , ittention of our readers to the big idvertisement on page 6 of this is?ue of The Record of Messrs Jenkinson Bros Company which enumerates some of the splendid bargain fea;ures they propose to offer during a ipecial sale commencing July 20 and ;ontinuing until August 24. The senior member of the firm, Mr W E Tenkinson, is a live wire and his special sales are always characteris;ic of his enterprise and push. Read lis ad and watch the columns of The Kecord for what he has to say from ;ime to time. Dr Jno T Howell, of the State Board of Health, who is in this . ounty in the interest of the welfare ind health of her citizens by examning and giving free treatment to :hose afflicted with the hookworm iisease,informs us that he examined 156 last week, 50 of whom applied it Kingstree Saturday. He also states that he found about 23 per :ent of those examined to be affect?d by the disease. It is hoped and jrgently requested that the people ill over the county will meet Dr ftowell at his various places of apx>intment and take advantage of :he State's free treatment, where found necessary. SPLENDID WATER SYSTEM Now in Operation In Klngstree-- ! Sewerage Plant Nearly Ready. The citizens of Kingstree are now the possessors of an excellent water ] system, new and up-to-date, and is < said by many to be the best in any, | town in the State of its size. \ Mr J Newton Johnson, Florence, i was the designer and constructing t engineer assisted by Mr Henry Voigt. c The B F Meeks Construction Co j r of Atlanta, Ga, were the contractors l ; and builders, and the president of t the concern, Mr Meeks, has person- ? ally superintended all work under j their contract incident to the com- \ pletion of the system which began in ? January Bad weather and delays p in the transportation of material, e nowever, have caused some delay, I r and the work could not be completed \ in accordance with the time specified in the contract. In spite of de- s lays no effort was made to rush the s work. On the contrary time hasj j been taken and in connection with J j careful and painstaking efforts on ! f the part of the engineers and con- j tractors to give the town of King- t stree a first class water and sewer-, <] age system, and we believe they f have succeeded. j t The system has undergone several j severe pressure tests and has proven ^ satisfactory to the Board of Com- j missioners of Public Works, who t have caused to be issued in pamphlet j form an ordinance and a set of rules j, and regulations applying to the t care of the service and for the in- f formation of the public concerning c the same. The pumping station has v t>een put in charge of Mr S C Anderson. I The first citizen to tap the main . pipe line and run the city water j ' nto his residence was Mr W H Carr, I :he work being performed by con-1 ' \ :ractors, while Mr F W Fairey j ^ vas the first to tap at the town's i 1 ^ expense through the prescribed! channel. Many applicants for water and ( >ewer connections have already been , iled with the commissioners and it j s indeed gratifying to the residents }f the town to be able to have a perfect water system in their nomes. The plant was formally taken over by the commissioners Friday. ^ The sewerage plant will be com- * pleted in a few days. 1 Tobacco Men Entertained. ' 'Most any tobacco man would have considered himself a lucky fellow to . have been in Kingstree last Thurs- . day evening. The day marked the opening of the tobacco market here, , and, as it was, there was a splendid representation of this world-wide industry present, all ot wnom were elated over the business done by the warehouses, the quality of tobacco offered and the excellent prices it brought. About 50,000 pounds were sold and an average of seven cents per pound was the price received. During the day Mr D J Epps, of the Nelson warehouse, passed the word to all tobacco men to assemble at his warehouse about 8 o'clock p. m.to partake of a "pine bark stew". Some of the strangers from a distance evidently didn't know what it meant and retired early after the strenuous day's work, while others who knew, or had heard praises of its rare and delicate flavor passed up the evening meal and waited with patience the serving of the delicious fish and rice which that genius in the art, Mr D J Epps, had prepared by lantern light in the rear of his warehouse, assisted bv his faithful "flunky," Sam Moore. Among the fortunate partakers of the feast were: Messrs C D Noel and C P Richmond of Danville, Va; R L and Gorrell Hopper, VV R James, } R W Gorrell and W R Gass, Win- , ston-Salem, N C; EL and Paul Mor- ' gan, Brighton, N C; J S Jenkins, ] South Boston, Ya; Henry Wood, Jr, U Clarksville, Ya; Mortimer Cosby, 1 Milton, N C; E J Hester, Kentucky; T D Turner, Durham, N C; W K Mcintosh, Thomas McCutchen, H E ] Montgomery, David Epps, W F Tol- ( ley, Hon E C Epps and J F McFad- ] din, Kingstree. 1 The County Record job office is ( better equipped than ever to do your printing.

He vas in town yesterday and said he lad been working in his tobacco his week. The cause of the shoot- 1 ng seems still to be as much of a I nystery to him as it does to us. Mr J H Covington, who lives J icross the river, a short distance < 'rom Kingstree, brought us Tuesday , i splendid sample of a crop of 29 J jeaches which grew on a tree that :ame up on his place two years ago rom seed. The peaches are the fin- i st we have seen this year and are of < he clincr stone variety, very large. 1 uicy and rich in color and flavor. ' Mr S Marcus' biff opportunity I ale started Friday morning last and rowds of people have visited his tore every day since the opening, rlr Marcus and his able assistant, ' 4r Riff, know how to advertise and i onduct these semi-annual sales sue- j essfully, and they are generous in | heir praises of The Record as a neans of getting his business before he people.

This section of the county has Deen visited daily for the last ten Jays by showers of rain sufficient to under the farmers from "laying >y" cotton, and if it continues we 'ear a damage to the weed will be ;he result. The present prospect Joesn't promise a full crop by any neans. From our observation the ight lands planted to corn and coton are almost a failure of the one, md the other very poor. This is strikngly noticeable among the negroes vho tampered with tooacco culture, md the whites also have not the irospect that they deserve, how ver, July is the cotton bearing nont'n and we still hope for the letter. Mr L H McCullough has surveyed l new road from Morrisville to Benon, a distance of seven miles. Morrisville is located on the Marion Branch railroad in the lower section >f this county and 'tis there that F Bhem & Sons are the promoters of he embryo town of Morrisville. rhey have also had surveyed a road rom the proposed town intera cting he Potato Bed Ferry road, which eads from Kingstree to Georgeown. near Mr R W Smith's place, ^nd we understand there will b? wo more new roads leading to Morrisville. The road from Benson 3 almost a bee line, and is to be wenty-four feet wide. When com >leted it will be one of the most :ompletely constructed public highvays in the county, it is said. Mr F Rhem is very much interred yi the coming town and he s spofltjfe no means toward its de'eloprrijit. Not at a very distant day there vill be a county seat on the Marion branch railroad. Watch Morrisrille, Nesmith, Henry and Hemingvay, for one of these places will ;urely claim the honor of being the :apital city of the new county. WES. Benson, S C, July 16, 1912.
