E ________ Just for Convenience. I Entirely apart from the many r other advantages of a Personal Checking Account at the Bank, the convenience of it is j \ no small consideration. The; \ ability to make purchases and \ pay bills after banking hours without the necessity of al' ways having a pocketful of r money is worth a great deal. m With a Check Book in your b pocket, you are taking no risks of losing money and yet you i 1 always have all of your money ? on hand and ready for use. One is as liable to need money B before nine in the morning or ** after three as between those hours. The Personal Check RnnV spttlps tVip matter. IBANK OF WILLIAMSBURG KIN6STREE. S, C.

In regard to our game with Benson some time ago, I noticed a piece in The County Record in which some one said that we, the Kingstree High ; school baseball team, had obligated 1 ourselves to play there the following ' Saturday, and on finding that we j did not come they published the 1 game forfeited to Benson, 9 to 0. In this issue, we want to correct that statement and say, furthermore, that they are thoroughly mistaken as to our date to play there.
