We are requested to announce that the Woman's Foreign Missionary societies of Kingstree district will hold their annual district meeting at Kingstree November 15, 16 and 17 at the Methodist church. The public is invited. Delegates will nlpasp send their names to Mrs M A Ross, Kinustree, S C. We cannot publish a notice of a hot supper or any other money-making enterprise even when such notices are contained in news letters. Our rate for publishing any kind of notice advertising an affair to raise money for any purpose whatsoever is one cent a word. If the notice is worth the type-setting it is worth paying for. This applies to all?we play no favorites. Through some error word has been circulated among the citizens of Kingstree that Mr H A Miller, proprietor of the People's Market, is charging 25 cents per pound for pork. This is a false rumor, and naturally militates against Mr Miller's UnMnooc fKnrcifAra Ko uriokoc it nn. UUdlUCOO, UltltlWl V- AAV ff I^KVU AV MIA derstood that he has never charged over 15c per pound for pork, which is his present price. When a free notice is requested of us advertising a public meeting, or anything for the public good, we think, as a rule, one insertion ought to be sufficient. If two or more insertions are requested the notice should be paid for. Don't ride a I free horse to death. It costs money to set type and our space is worth something. After a notice of any ; kind is published one time it certain! ly ceases to be news. Monday was salesday and in acI cordance with the notices of sales advertised in The County Record, eleven were made, five by Sheriff Graham and six by Clerk of Courl Britton.

The largest sale made was that in the case of P M Byrdic and others i against J M Tisdale, consideratior $8,300, bought in by Kelley <S Hinds, attorneys. In the Churches Sunday.
