Just for Convenience. Entirely apart from the many other advantages of a Personal Checking Account at the j Bank, the convenience of it is | no small consideration.

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.

They were beauties and when mealed and fried and brought sizzling to the tabie, were fit food for folk far more fastidious than we. We appreciate most sincerely these kind remembrances from thoughtful friends.

Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co have purchased the stock of goods and all the store fixtures owned and used by Mr Louis Stackley in his dry goods business at the corner of Main and Academy streets. Mr Stackley lately gave up the dry goods business upon being appointed postmaster at this place. With this transfer oA his stock and store equipment we note with some degree of sentiment the passing of one of the oldest business houses in Kingstree. Mr Stackley has been in the mercantile business here for the past thirty years. Tomatoes, bell peppers and eggplants! These choice vegetables were the corTtents of a good-sized market basket that came to us Monday from our esteemed friend, Mr Jas A Ferrell of Salters Depot. And such specimens! Truly they looked like prize exhibits at an agricultural fair. One tomato?about the biggest we ever saw?weighed 17 ounces,and two peppers tipped the scales at 7i ounces each! The egg-plants were not unusual in size, but are worthy of special mention because they are our favorite vegetable, and we had not been able to get hold of any for a long time. They were fine, too. If the business men of this town could see the splendid edition of The County Record of last week, they would realize the reason for Kingstree's rapid strides, and why it is so much trade has gone! to that town. The trade follows enterprise and hustle, and where the business men of a town manliest acnvuy it attracts trade. No man "can eat his cake and keep it too." Look over the newspapers and wherever the merchants generally advertise that town is on the move, but where they are content to drift with the tide, there is very little activity and progress. Advertise, it helps the advertiser as well as the newspaper, which cannot live without patronage any more than man can live without food.? Manning Tines. County Superintendent of Education Raymond N Speigner informa us that upon the recommendation of the Williamsburg delegation he has appointed to the position of Supervisor of Rural schools for this county, Miss Mamie McLees of Green wood. Miss McLees is well and favorably known in Williamsburg,having been principal of the Cades school the past seven years, where she is especially popular among the patrons of the school. She will enter upon the duties of her new position about the first of September. ! Miss McLees will, in connection with other duties, have charge of the tomato club work and the Rural School Improvement association of : Williamsburg county. We are glad to thus further secure her services in 1 the educational work of the county and extend congratulations to her upon receiving this important appointment, which we regard as a high compliment to her ability.

Nan Bought a Bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, Then Took It Back, Asked tor His Money and Got It. A man recently tried out the guarantee, which Dr W V Brcckington gives with every bottle of Dodson s I Liver Tone. He bought a bottle and i then went back to the drug store and J said the medicine hadn't helped him. i This druggist just reached into his cash register and took out a half dol-1 lar, the price of the bottle of Liver Tone and handed it back to the gentleman. But he didn't take the money. He owned up that he was just trying the guarantee, and as a matter of fact, he had found Dodson's Liver Tone the best remedy for constipation and biliousness he had ever, tried. "Why," he said, "my wife wouldn't be without a bottle in the | house for anything. It's the. best thing in the world for the whole family, and the medicine that I pre-1 fer to take or to give to my children for a lazy liver." Dr W V Brockington sells Dod-1 son's Liver Tone and guarantees it to start the liver without violence. It is taking the place of calomel everywhere. If you buy a bottle and don't find this pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid the best thing to start a lazy liver, he will hand your money back with a smile. adv.

On the Kingstree tobacco market there was sold Tuesday, 104,000 pounds of the weed. Yesterday's sale totaled up 110,000 pounds. The warehousemens' official report for the month of July will show a total of 814,000 pounds sold on the Kingstree market. Mr C K Eaddy, of Lake City R F D, was a welcome caller at our office Friday. He is a successful tobacco grower and says that in his eighteen years' experience he never received such good prices as this year. It is needless to say that he sells at Kingstree. Messrs M E and H Y Worsham of Olanta sold tobacco on our market Tuesday and were highly pleased with the prices they received. To The Record man these gentlemen said they had brought their tobacco to Kingstree in response to its call ! and had their names placed on our subscription list so that they might be able to keep up with what is "doing" on the "Best Tobacco Market in the State." Come again, gentlemen, our gates are ajar and we always welcome strangers. Big Prices at Gorrell's Warehouse. Tobacco is selling at unusually high prices this week at Gorrell's warehouse.
