Don't l>e a knocker. If your
neighbor is prosperous,let him prosper.
Don't grunt, growl nor grumble.
Say a good word for him and
let it go at that. Your turn will
come, for no one man can be the
"whole show" always. If you see
that your town is moving along
nicely, feel good about it and try to
help things along a little. Try to
get some of the benefit yourself.
Don't stand around like a chilly old
cadaver and waste your time in feeling
sore and disgruntled because the
$ other fellow has a little more sand
and sense than you have. Do a little
hustling yourself.
DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED.
Town Votes $7,500 Bonds lor Electric
Lighting System.
Lake City, July 5:?The identity
of the man who died here on Saturday
from the effects of injuries sustained,
it is supposed by falling from
a train about a mile South of here,
has been discovered as a result of
ii-i fu. ^.0^,0
vnr arucies puunsticu iu uic popcio
on Sunday and Monday. His name
was Chester Calhoun Wilson, recently
in the employ of H J McLaurin of
Sumter, as a carpenter. Two of his
brothers were here Wednesday, and
by the descriptions given them identified
the deceased as their brother,
, whom one of them last saw about
. m . i La ?_ _ n i.
mKLmgnt maay nigm in a oumier
barber shop, the deceased leaving
him, stating that he expected to go
to Charleston in search of work.
Itis supposed Wilson went to Lanes
on a through freight, there catching
passenger train No 80, northward
bound, from which he met his death.
It has not yet been decided whether
or not his body, which was buried
here Sunday, will be removed to his
home at Sumter.
An election, held here Wednesday
upon the question of bonding the
town for $7,500 for the purpose of
Installing a complete electric lighting
system, resulted in a vote of 76
for and 26 against the issuing of
such bonds. For commissioners of
public works, J M Truluck and J C
Young received a majority of the
/vtoB and were, therefore, elect
d. W H Whitehead, Jr. T J Cottingham
and L 0 Holloway received
the next highest number and will
probably have to run over for the
third place.

This "ink-slinger" had the pleasure
of spending the fourth at Greelyville
and there met many friends
and acquaintances made while residing
there in 1909. Having not been
there in two years, I found this villiage
still on the boom, building brick
stores, etc.
I also went to Trio visiting relatives
and friends, and found decided
improvements, there having been
built a Woodmen hall, a depot and a
school house which looks nearly like
a university building compared with
! the one this son studied in a few
| years ago. But th's is not all I saw
| for there were large fields of waving
corn, so green "that it looks like a
cloud rising," as the farmers would
say in boasting of his corn field.
Some of this corn is growing where
i a few years ago the landlord would
not listen to the share-cropper speaki
ing of planting corn, except a few
I acres, saying that the cotton seed
made on an acre could buy the corn
made on an acre. The tune has
changed. Now broad fields are planted,
more corn raised, hence more
hogs; raise your bacon at home.
I also noticed buildings going up
at Lanes, yet no correspondent to
The Record. Come on with a line

the readers and help the paper.
Mr Charlie Smith, Dr W S Lynch's

' attended college, passed the board
and has been engaged at his profession
in other towns since, and now
he comes back home again, to which
we heartily welcome him. He will
move his family here soon.

As "A Christian** Views It.
Editor County Record:?
More than one third of the voters
of Williamsburg county have signed
a petition for an election looking toward
the re-establishment of a dispensary
of whiskey here. I connot
but wonder how many of the names
on that petition are also on the
church roll? I wonder if it is possible
that most of those signing that
petition are professing Christians?
We all have known that whiskey has
hoen sold in violation of the law ev
er since it has been forbidden. It will \
continue to be sold by the Godless, i
so long as there is a devil in the!
world, since it is the devil's most
powerful tool; but surely this does,
not excuse one of Chist's soldiers for
going over on the devil's side and
helping do his work for part of the
profits. To those who are not church
members this article is not addressed,
but those who are need to do
some serious thinking on the subject.
As we have said, we know that this
lawless work has been going on and
we know, too, that the crime which
has resulted from it cannot be estimated;
but now are you ready step
forward and say: "I am willing to
let this crime go on and will legalize (
it or call it right if you will let me
take a hand in it, in a respectable
way and give me part of the money !
you make. We need the money to
build our sidewalks and beautify our I
homes and schools, even if it does I
uixtc uui ucautuui wyo cuiu 10
and make of them just such men
and women as the devil wants them
to be." Oh, friends! I could write
or talk indefinitely on this subject,
for my heart is so filled with a desire
for you to see and do the right thing
in this all important matter. There
i3 every reason for a Christian to
vote against legalizing the sale of
whiskey and no reason in favor of
you doing so. Of course you can
make money by so doing, but you
can't do wrong for money and at the
same time be true to God. Has He
not told you that you cannot serve
two masters? You are mistaken if
you think it right to choose the least
of two evils. A Christian must
choose no evil at all. There are no
<m?at and small sins with God. Bro
ther Christian, you made a serious
mistake when you signed that dispensary
petition,but it is not too late
to rectify the mistake. Let it be
known that you have reconsidered
the matter and then vote to the honor
of your Master when the election
day comes. Don't imagine that God
cannot take care of His own cause.
What He wants is for you to be true
to Him. Just set yourself firmly
against this and every other evil and
trust the outcome to God. He will
take care of His own and in His own
time the workers of iniquity will be
Mut intn nntpr darkness. Don't
compromise. There are just two
sides to this conflict. Are you really
on God's side? Then be true to Him.
This is sent forth with the earnest
prayer of A Christian.
