The family moved into their new home in North Kingstree Monday. "Thp melancholvdavs have come." sings the poet, referring to the autumn tide. To us who have endured the heat of an almost unprecedentedly torrid summer the cool October breezes make these days seem anything but melancholy. Dr I N Boyd of Salters was among , those who attended court here Monday, and we are glad to note that 1 after a long seige in hospitals, and ' rsevera! surgical operations, he is 1 very much improved and says he ( feels several years younger. We hope every subscribe^ who i can possibly do so will send us his or j her subscription as soon as possible. This has been a most unfortunate year for us and we need every dol- ' lar that is due us, and considerably 1 more besides, to meet the obligations 1 that we have incurred since the be- < ginning of the year. Let us hear frnm vrm fripnds. < We learn with sincere regret of 1 the death of our old and' valued , friend. "Uncle" Simon Poston. In war and in peace Mr Piston served 1 his country with patriotic zeal. Such 1 men are the back-bone and sinew of ? our country, and while it is inevita- < ble that earth should claim them back to her bosom when the glass of time shows their sands to be run * out, yet we cannot but mourn our i loss in their passing. We'knew r "Uncle" Simon well and learn of his 4 death with a keen sense of personal loss. At a hot supper givtn by a negro . lodge last Friday night, about five miles west of King3tree, Frank Mc- . Cleary and"Sonnie" Pressley became engaged in a cutting aff air, and the latter, having only one good eye. McCleary got on the blind side of his antagonist and cut his throat, severing the jugular vein. McCleary, assisted by his lodge brethren, made a hasty escape while Pressley breathed his last. So far no arrests have been made, but it is expected . that a number of negroes will be rounded up within the next few days ' as accessories to the murder. The Record feels much gratified c that fts advertising space is in de- i mand more than ever before. We wish especially to call attention to the Charleston advertisements that appear in this issue. We would . much rather have the paper filled with local ads, so that we would not j have to solicit a single "foreign" t ad, but as quite a number of the lo- : cal business houses do not advertise we have to go out of town to meet this deficiency. Remember, every time you patronize a firm that ad- . vertises in The Record you are helping us to keep the price of subscription down to one dollar a year. With- . out a liberal advertising patronage we would be obliged to increase the price of subscription to two or three dollars a year.

VUC4W IV VYV'UIU KJK~ UCV 1V OO wv uv tempt a detailed description of the charming models displayed in ladies' headwear. We started our inspection early so as to avoid being in the way of the ladies, and that we might first feast our eyes upon the artistic creations which are to adorn our sweethearts, wives and daughters this fall and winter. Mrs Marcus displayed an elegant assortment of hats for ladies, misses and girls, all the season's latest styles carefully selected by herself during her recent visit to the Northern markets. Many of the models here displayed are imported creations and bear the unmistakeable Parisian air of style and beautv. The Kingstree Dry Goods Co's millinery department, under the careful supervision of Miss Ola Saunders, showed a particularly stylish and up-to-date line of fall and winter headwear, embracing all the latest shapes and colors. Wide brim silk beavers, velours,casinos and Madam Hell creations, tastily trimmed in flowers, feathers and peco ribbons. I These were most artistically arranged and made an attractive showing, which was enjoyed by the large number of ladies who attended the opening festival. Even if one knows nothing at all about hats, save that they are pleasing to the eye, he will ^ertainly appreciate their merit more fully after Miss Lyde Kennedy and her efficient milliner,Miss Stumpner, in their poite and courteous manner, have shown and explained the beautiful assortment of ladies', misses' and children's headwear of the Kennedy Millinery Co. Their assortment is arge, and like the others, is composed of the latest styles, embracing , ;he simple,fascinatin^little Hortensia model, with moire trimming, rheir cozy little parlor presents a /eritable bower of beauty and artiste taste, and votaries of Dame Fashon found here a display of hats and millinery that could not fail to please ;he most fastidious eye.
