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.

BENSON BRIEFS.
A School Picnic-Crop Conditions
Not Very Promising.
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.
