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.

"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.

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.

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.

Benson Briefs.
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;

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.

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. For
sale by all dealers. adv

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.
