Mrs J J M Graham of Cades was a guest at the Kellahan hotel Monday, having come to Kingstree on a shopping trip. We were glad to learn from her that Mr Graham,her husband, has about recovered from his recent illness. j Mr and Mrs C E Hilton cf Tampa, Fia, are in Kingstree, stopping at the home of Mrs A M Gordon. Mr Hilton has taken a position with the LePhart Lumber Co. Some years ago he resided in the Greelyville i section, where he was deservedly j popular. Some of our Williamsburg boys should by all means make an exhibit at the National Corn exposition to be held in Columbia January and February, 1913? So far as we have seen, the highest yield in this county has not been exceeded by any county in the State. i Misses Ola Davis and Jessie Be1 thea,teachers in the Seranton school, were visitors in Kingstree Saturday. Miss Davis is a native of Virginia, j having been reared in the vicinity I of classic old Blackstone, while Miss i t> tr n_n _ xi ! tfetnea comes irom MCLan, in me | famous Marlboro county. We have outstanding on subscription more than $1,000. yet we are not able to pay office rent. Our expenses this year have been hea\ier than ever before. Now, we make this personal appeal to our readers. Pay what you owe to date and at I least one year ahead and save us the j additional trouble and expense of j sending out one thousand individual j statements. To the few who have already paid,this, of course,does not apply. The licensing conference of the Kingstree district met at the district parsonage here on Tuesday. Those present were: Revs J R T Major of Summertcn, C C Derrick of Lake City, Geo M Teasley of Greelyville and R F Morris of Turbeville. Mr Morris was licensed by the conference to preach, and both he and Mr Teasley were recommended to the General Conference for admission on trial. Presiding Elder Holroyd and Rev W A Fairy participated in the meeting. The small amount you owe us on subscription is a trifle to you, but it means hundreds of "dollars to us. Having to employ extra help practically all this year to take the place of our sick chief, the paper has been run at a loss since last spring. Even at this time we are barely paying office expenses, yet we are doing as much or more work than ever before at this season. But collections are what count and, we must say, our collections are poor. Pay what you owe?it matters not what others do. Mrs Florence "Merriman, ,wife of Mr Logan Merriman.died at Georgetown Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock. Mrs Merriman was a daughter of the late Capt and Mrs D E Gordon of Lanes; a half-sister of our tov nsman, Mr A M Gordon, and a niece of Mr S A Nettles. She was twenty-four years of age and leaves a husband and three small children to mourn their loss, besides a host of friends and relatives to whom her charming disposition greatly endear- | ed her. % The funeral and ipterment took place at Georgetown Tuesday. John Keels, a negro living near Kingstree, came into town Saturday and in order to raise a few dollars other than by the proverbial "sweat of his brow", swiped a nice bale of cotton belonging to the People's Mercantile Co from the platform at the depot and sold it to one of the buyers. The theft was soon discovered and the negro was arrested and given lodging at the station house till Monday morning. The buyer of the stolen cotton recovered his money and waived further proceedings against the negro. Then Mayor Kinder took a hand in behalf of the peace and dignity of the town and fined him $20, which he paid. The price of subscription for the well-known magazine "Youth's Companion" has been increased to $2.00 a year and it is well worth the price. For more than a quarter of a century The Youth's Companion has been recognized as the highest quality of literary pabulum for boys and girls, and men and women as well, to be found anywhere. By clubbing The Companion with The Record we can save our subscribers twenty-five cents on old or new subscriptions to tVio tum if vnn want to subscribe | Vliv V..V. -- J - ? - ' " I to The Companion or renew your subscription, send us $2.75 and both The Record and The Companion will be sent to you for one year.
