Just for Convenience,
Entirely apart from the many
other advantages of a Personal
Checking Account a^t the
Bank, the convenience 01 it is
no small consideration. The
ability to make purchases and
pay bills after banking hours
without the necessity of always
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.
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.

APPRECIATION
From One Who Does Not Await a
Funeral to Bestow Flowers.
The County Record is a welcome
i visitor here Friday of each week un;
less some mishap takes place. If so,
our people are disappointed.
When the postoffice at this place
was kept by "ye scribe" the paper
came 10 eacn lamuy wiiu icwcive
their mail here,save one. This is a
most creditable record for The Record.
The editor and his efficient
force deserve the most hearty congratulations
from all the readers of
the double-size sheet that was brimful
of very interesting current events
of the past week, besides the attractive
appearance of the advertisements
of business houses in the town
where the highest prices are paid for
tobacco and goods are sold the
cheapest. These invitations natural1
ly appeal strikingly to those who
i have tobacco to sell and necessities
to buy.
We would like to say, in this connection,with
the editor's permission,
that we are always proud of the
achievements of this section. Mr
| Wolfe was born here, but we will
not mention his age, as he looks
younger than one may suppose him
to be. He, with the most of us of
I this neighborhood,then attended the
three months' public schools taught
within the walls of a rude structure
under the tutelage of his noble mother.
He afterwards went to Sheridan's
Classical school, Orangeburg;
Wofford College and the South Carolina
Military College.
Mr Wolfe taught school here, and
his pupils today admire his rigid discipline
required during the hours of
| study.
He turned his attention to a farm.
1 Realizing that this occupation was
not his calling,one year's experience
was sufficient in agriculture. With
one term at Smith's Commercial
College,Lexington, Ky,he was taught
the art of book-keeping, banking,

did stenographic work at a lucrative
salary until his health became impaired.
Yet during this checkered career
he knew not then that his place
should have been in an editor's
chair. WES.
Benson, July 29.
However little he feels that he
deserves the foregoing tribute from
his generous and warm-hearted
friend at Benson, his boyhood home,
the editor of The Record would not
be human did he not feel a thrill of
pleasure and gratification that one
who knows him so well should thus
estimate the work of his head and
hand. More than their intrinsic 1
worth we value the source from ,
which come these expressions of
loyai irienasnip ana tne generous, j
kindly spirit that prompted their ut- |
terance. When the rugged pathway ,
of life grows steep and the feet of (
the way-farer are often bruised and j
bleeding so that it seems that he ,
must lay down the burden and give ,
up in despair, it is such words of ,
cheer and encouragement that vital- ]
ize and revivify the weary pilgrim, (
making him feel that his labors have
not been wholly in vain. We thank ]
you. Editor The Record, j
We were delighted to have as a
caller at our office on Tuesday our
esteemed friend, Mr S B Poston, of ,
John3onville, who has Jbeen kept ;
away from Kingstree for some time
by illness.
For Cuts, Burns and Bruises.
In every horr.e there should be a i
box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve,ready
to apply in every case of burns,cuts, ,
wounds or scalds. J H Polanco, DelvalIe,Tex,R

Arnica Salve saved my little girl's

be cured." The world's best salve.

Death of an Estimable Lady.
Mrs G Furman Williamson died at .
the home of her husband in the Mouzon
section Saturday evening last, i
after a lingering illness. She was a
most estimable lady and beloved by :
all who knew her. Her remains |
were laid to rest in the family currying
ground Sunday afternoon.
The deceased leaves a husband and
several children who have the sympathy
of the community.
Surprising Cure ?I Stomach Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation,
don't imagine that your case is beyond
help just because your doctor
fails to give you relief. Mrs (1 Stengle,
Plainfield, N J. writes: "For
over a month past I have been troubled
with my stomach. Everything
I ate upset it terribly. One of Chamberlain's
advertising booklets came
* <*' i? r -r ?i
to me. .Alter reading a ie\v m uic
letters from people who had been
cured by Chamberlain's Tablets, 1
decided to try them. I have taken
nearly three-fourths of a package of
them and can now eat almost everything
that I want." For sale by all

COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZT LIVER.
A Lazy Liver Needs a Dose of Dodson's
Liver Tone?Guaranteed to Take I
the Place of Calomel.
When your doctor looks to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying
to find out if your liver is working
properly. A few years ago doctors
had to prescribe calomel -there was
nothing else to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has
practically taken the place of calomel
as a liver remedy. Dodson's Liver
tone is mild, pleasant tasting and
harmless ? which makes it a fine
medicine for use when your children
become bilious and constipated. But
the most remarkable feature of Dodson's
Liver Tone is the fact that Dr
W V Brockington who sells it, guarantees
it absolutely. The druggist,
will return your money without ar- J
gument if a bottle fails to give en-!
tire satisfaction.
Price 50 cents. We suggest that j
you get a bottle to-day and have it J
ready for the next i..emoer or your

Echoes from Venters.
Venters, July 25:?Venters is situated
on the Georgetown & Western
railroad, two miles from Johnsonville
and two miles from Hemingway.
The above named towns are developing
very rapidly. Each has a
bank, several modern store buildings
and two up-to-date tobacco markets.
These markets have handled 300,000
pounds of tobacco up to July 25. It
is very gratifying, indeed, to see the
people, not only from this section,
but from other communities,patronizing
these markets, where they receive
the very best of prices. At
one time it was predicted that these
points could not maintain markets,
Knf waut if ia a fivpd fvrtflintv that
UUl IIVTT IV IO ft* w. ?
they are doing a flourishing business
and will continue to do so in the
years to come.
The building of Methodist churches
at these points is under consideration
and it is generally understood
that they will be under course of
erection in a short time.
Both the church and the school
(Johnsonville High school) are now
at Venters. This school has had a
very successful year; all of the teachers
have been re-elected and it is understood
that all are going to return.
A debt of $1,200 has been recently
raised, which leaves the school in
good shape financially.
The prospect for full crops of tobacco,
corn and cotton is very fine.
The rains have been ideal. Unless
3ome unforeseen calamity turns up,
we believe that this people will be in
better shape financially than ever
before. We feel, Mr Editor, that
this part of the State possesses wonderful
possibilities and that with the
patronizing of home industries and
the support cf home institutions on
the part of the people, this section
that has been so long shut out, will
become the garden spot of South
Carolina.
