",n whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom MEN pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not," THURSDAY. APR. IT. 1913 Brief Records. There are folk whose smile looks worse than a frown from others. The true test of friendship is when financial interests clash between friends. In dealing with your fellowmen oftentimes one failing overshadows ninety-nine favors. A frown may make you feel letter for the moment, but a smile.lias the more lasting effect. ' ?????m "Put yourself in his place," is a good motto, and the world would be much better if everybody would adopt it. If the tyrant, Gessler, had placed his cap on a coin instead of a pole William Tell might have bowed down to it. How delightful a world it would be if a man were as conscientious about paying a debt as he is in trying to collect it. A squalling baby and a smiling one are the two extremes. But fortunately the smiles outweigh the squalls, and we can't do without the baby. *,fl * ' ? \\ nen it comes to gen unit* inan ity the merry widow is completely outclassed by the jolly widower in search of a successor for the tirst or second ' 'dear departed.''

It is just as great a crime morally to swear falsely to the amount of property one owns as to utter counterfeit money. In one case you are defrauding the government by disclaiming property you own; in the other by claiming property you tdon't own. It might be a good thing for the various States to have a law prohibiting Legislators from having pay for the time a deadlock continues over the election of United States Senators or from any other cause. In all probability it would hasten a choice. Illinois needed such a law very badly. PRIZE WINNERS AT LANES. In Common School C ries! K Id Friday, April 4. Editor County Record:? ^ ' " t- ' ?

C . tieiow win De iouiiu a use ui .nc winning pupils in the* common school contest at Lanes Friday, 4th inst. 1 hope everybody will bear in mind that these contests were for pupils of the lower grades. A pupil having studies in 7th and 8th grades was allowed to enter contests in those studies he had in the 7th grade. As this was our first field day for the common schools, we were found unprepared in many respects to conduct the exercises as we wished; but, crude as everything was. many of us think it was the greatest day Williamsburg ever had.- Our boys and girls are intensely interested, and many of them wish now to begin preparing for next year's victories. Arrangements for the next field day should be made as soon as practicable in the new school year. J G McCullough, Supt Education. EVENTS WON. KINGSTREE.

Benson, April 14:?The pleasure of attending a play entitled "Under the Laurel", acted by a troupe of young ladies and gentlemen from Indiantown school, was afforded the people of this place last Friday evening at the school building. The management was in the hands of Miss Cleva Rhame, one of the accomplished teachers at Indiantown, whose success in training the actors is an evidence of her ability to instruct. The play was an act of four scenes and was very creditably performed by the amateurs, who received applause lustily at the end of the acts. Late in the afternoon the heavy clouds indicated a coming precipitation of rain which hindered a great many from being present; however, there was a fairly good attendance. The proceeds were divided equally between the Indiantown and Cedar Swamp schools. The tobacco planters rejoice to have had the rain last Friday night, as it came at an opportune time; nlontc Vtovinor arrnum fnil UIC JUUU5 pi UU WO IIMIIU5 ?? large, now is the proper time to transplant them. The tobacco acreage is considerably increased in this section. Miss Ulma Crooks is at home, after a pleasant sojourn of several weeks with relatives at Trio and Andrews. Miss Maude Chandler has finished a successful school term at Carver's Bay, Georgetown county,and is now at home. Miss Lottie McCroy, after visiting for a week at Mr G Ollie Epps', returned to her home Monday. We are glad to note Miss Sena Phillips' recuperation, after having been indisposed for a week or more. Some of our early crop advocates are busily sowing seeds of the"fleecy staple"; others say the 21st is time enough to begin. We expect to split the difference and begin April 17. W E S. Cough Medicine for Children. Too much care cannot be used in selecting a cough medicine for children. It should be pleasant to take, contain no harmful substance and be most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets these requirements and is a favorite with the mothers of young children everywhere.

Thanking you in advance, I am, Respectfully, Willie N Blakeley. Trio, April 14. The Willie Blakeley arrested in Georgetown is a colored boy who has lived in Kingstree most of his life. We do not know that he has any other name than Wiljie Blakeley. We regret that this confusion of identity occurred, but it could not be helped?Editor The Record. i Leopard Sldu from Horry. Mullins, April 14:?V T Vasser, a fur dealer of Horry county, sent to a friend in this city a fur from a leopard, which is believed to be the first one killed in this State. The leopard is said to have been trapped in the islands of Horry county. It was at once sent to a tanner. The fur is yellow,with at least ten ranges of small, black clusters of spots on each flank. It appears to have been a full grown leopard,as indicated by the size of the skin. All those wno have viewed this rare fur say it is one of the prettiest ever seen in j these parts. It is thought that the | animal at one time belonged to a I circus manager. It is remembered that a circus was in this section some years ago and several animals escaped. Coughs and Consumption. Coughs and colds, when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. 0 H Brown of Muscadine, Ala, writes: ' My wife was down ?n bed with an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not been for Dr King's New Discovery, she would not be living to-day." Known for forty-three years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 50c and $1.00. Recommended by Kingstree Drug Co and M L Allen. adv Final Discharge.
