knowing who sent them. This requirement
is for our protection.
The name of the writer will not appear
in the paper, if he or she objects,
but we must have it on file in
our office.

the enthusiasm and are buying large
spaces in The Record to advertise
their goods. The Record now goes
into the homes of over 2,000 families
in Williamsburg and Florence
counties and the proper kind of advertising,
backed up by quality and
price, must inevitably attract trade.
The merchants of Kingstree, in their
respective lines, can compete with
the city stores, both as to quality
and price. And when you buy at
home you know just what you are
getting.
One of the most important property
transfers that has taken place
in Kingstree for some time was made
Saturday, when Postmaster Lewis
Stackley sold his handsome two-story
brick building on the corner of Main
and Academy streets to Mr William
R Scott for a consideration of $10,000.
This building was erected by
w r-.. - <1 *
ivir ataciuey a iew years a^u auu
consists of a splendid store room on
the first floor and a number of office
rooms on the second floor. Since its
construction, Mr Stackley has occupied
the ground floor with his dry
goods business, which he has recently
abandoned.
Beginning next week we propose
to conduct a "Tobacco Department"
in The Record, provided the local
tobacco warehousemen will co-operate
with us. We will freely give
this department all the space required
up to a page of the paper,
but we cannot do this without the
help and encouragement of the men
on whom we shall be dependent for
the data to make this column readable
and profitable. We also invite
short letters, or articles on any subject
germane to the tobacco industry
from producer, buyer or warehouseman,
not only from this market,
but from any market in the
Pee Dee section. Our aim is primarily
to help build up the Kingstree
market, but we believe that
this department would be profitable
to other markets also as a forum for
discussion of various subjects common
to the tobacco business generally.
What promises to be one of the
most up-to-date plants for the manufacture
of ice cream and soft drinks
is to be opened up at an early date
in the building now occupied by M
Mittle. Messrs H B and R W Crosland
are the owners. They have
placed an order for a complete outfit
of machinery which will be operated
by electricity. An experienced
man from Nunnally's factory will
have complete charge of the plant,
which will turn out a sanitary product
large enough to supply the local
dealers, patrons and drug stores
throughout tne surrounding country.
It is not often that a town the
size of Bennettsville can have the
advantage of such an establishment,
seldom found except in cities the size
of Columbia or Charleston. The business
without doubt will prove a
success, as this fills a long-felt need.
The business men at its head are to
be congratulated on their enterprise
in helping to make a greater Bennettsville.?Marlboro
Times. Mr R
W Crosland is well known in Kingstree,
having until recently been in
business here,

Advertising Kingstree.
When the pedestrian, in whatever
direction he may be traveling through
Williamsburg county, casts his eyes
upon the little roadside flags bearing
the slogans: "Did you know that
Kingstree is the best tobacco market
in the State?" on one side and, "If
you don't know that Kingstree i3
the best tobacco market in the State
come and see , on the other, he will
readily understand that the citizens
of Kingstree are very much afire
with an advertising enthusiasm.
These little flags, with a lot of other
advertisingmatter.have already been
or will be distributed all over the
county. On Monday, a party of
eight gentlemen, composed of some
of our leading business men went
out in two big automobiles to do the
work. They covered a large portion
of Williamsburg county. On Tuesday
one auto went out and the fourth
made a trip yesterday. Each one
of the cars was elaborately decorated
with gala colored signs and
streamers. In one car Monday were:
Messrs W E Jenkinson, J F McFadden,
Hugh McCutchen and Dr W L
Taylor; in the other were:Messrs Tom
Mcuitchen, u w tsosweii, v k uaiawell

Messrs W H Carr, E C Burgess,

As you know, it is impossible for

do any drumming, but instead, stay
at our warehouse and do our drumming
on our floor (which we believe
is the proper place) and by doing
this we shall save this extra expense
of hiring horses, etc. We are not

are our drummers.
