jfrliist for Convenience, Entirely apart from the many other advantages of a Personal Checking Account at the Bank, the convenience of it is no small consideration. The ability to make purchases and j pay bills after DanKing nours; without the necessity of al-! ways having a pocketful of; money is worth a great deal. With a Check Book in your pocket, you are taking no risks of losing money and yet you: always have all of your money! on hand and ready for use.j One is as liable to need money before nine in the morning or / after three as between those \ hours. The Personal Check Book settles the matter. BANK OF WILLIAMMUKU . KINSSTfiEE, S. C. C W Stoll, Pres. F Rhem. V P. | ECEpps, C W Bosweli., f Cashier. Asst.

Benson, May 27;?There are some folk who say that an all-day picnic is tiresome and in many cases it is true. But the one given last Saturday by the friends and patrons of the school at Zeb, which has been so successfuly managed by Miss Ruth PhilliDS. of that Dlace. was an exceptionally enjoyable occasion. School picnics have been very popular this season in this section. Each j school in the nearby communities! observed the closing day by meeting | at some convenient place and having j the patrons, the pupils and their j friends and the teacher with her! friends present, so with this happy! crowd a good time was in store for everybody. This school term was Miss Ruth Phillips' initiative step toward becomings "school-ma'am". After attending the Cedar Swamp i Graded school she entered the Kingstree High school and graduated there la3t year. We are informed 3hat she will spend this vacation studying at Winthrop summer school for teachers. This ambitious desire to succeed is worthy of emulation. Young cotton is looking very bad, from cool nights we have had, and notwithstanding the showers of rain the stand of cotton is not good. Our fanners are taking advantage of these clear days and the reaper and mower may be heard on every side,as this is the harvest season for the oat crop. Most of our farmers report a fine prospect for corn. There is more at tention given to corn now than was the case in former days. We have very few white farmers who fail to make all the corn they need. SPECIAL NOTICES Phone us when you want to get a notice under this /'jpgA heading. Price one cent a word for each insertion.
