KINGSTREE-THE BEST TOBACCO MARKET IN THE STATE. I "In men whom men condemn as in, I find so much of goodness still; h men whom men pronounce divine. I find so moch of sin and blot? ] hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. AUG. 28. 1913 The Best Tobacco Market. . I That Kingstree is the best tobacco market in the State is no idle boast, is forcibly demonstrated by a study of the figures given out by the Commissioner of Agriculture in his July report, which we publish. Divide the number of pounds' sold into the amount paid and you will see that the average price on Kingstree market for July is more than SS I 13.5 cents a pound, nearly one cent higher than the next high" J est market paid in this or any adjoining county. Take Lake City, which led the whole State in quantity of tobacco sold, and compare the average price a pound paid there with Kingstree. Our cal' culation shows it to be about _ 12.7 cents.' Mullins, coming next to Lake City in number of pounds sold, actually paid less than 9 cents a pound! Think of it! 1 * ? A4 ftAO I Kingstree market paid siui.ouo.39 for 748,194 pounds of tobacv ? . co, while Mullins buyers paid only $107,725.32 for 1,217,870 pounds. A difference of only $0,421.93 for 4(>9,(>7t> more pounds of tobacco! In other words, had the same quantity of tobacco that was sold at Mullins been brought to Kingstree mark4 et the amount paid for it would have been $165,412.45. We advise the tobacco seller to study closely the figures published this week and compare the average price paid at Kingstree with any other market?Lake City, Mullins, Timmonsville, Marion, Dillon,. Manning, Florence, Darlington, Johnsonville, Hemingway, Olanta?then sell your tobacco at the market that pays the highest price. When the intelligent tobacco grower does this he will head his wagons to Kingstree, unquestionably the Best Tobacco! Market in the State. Protests and Contests. We regret to learn that there is a . protest or contest l>eing entered against declaring the result of the recent di>pensary election on the iace of the returns. In a Democrat-1 ic election, where the voters on both sides are white men, we do not think the will of the majority should be I brushed aside on technical grounds. | V ' / i \ # Should there he a question of fraud, it alters the case; hut, so far as we can learn, in this election there is no allegation of fraud hy either party. The Record took no part whatever in this election; as a matter of fact, the editor did not even vote.heing content to leave the issue with those who went to the polls to vote according to the dictates of their consciences. Had the dispensary won by a single vote,we should have made no complaint; hut it seems that, after a thorough investigation, the majority,small though it l>e, is in favor of no dispensary. It is not a question of the si/e of the majority, or how many voters failed to express their choice, hut the principle is at stake, whether or not the majority shall rule. Our conception of democracy is that the I minority shall yield to the majority. When this principle is set at naught the genius of democracy is lost. Any one who has studied our election laws recognizes thefactthat they are so complicated that it is almost a matter of impossibility to carry out all the conditions prescribed. We have in mind one election where at a certain poll the managers had been drilled by a very capable attorney and yet when the contest came, very serious flaws were picked in the conduct of the election at this same precinct. With this in mind, we doubt seriously whether,in the recent election, there was a single precinct where the conduct of the election fulfilled the letter of the law. That being the case, the State board of canvassers or the supreme court, even, will be loath to declare an election null and void or to allow the throwing out of certain polls on technical grounds to trim the majority vote below that of the minority. Kingstree is the most-talked-of tobacco market in the State. Why? Bccanse Kingstree has something worth advertising and advertises it. The object of advertising is to teach people to believe in you and your goods; to teach them to think that they have a need for your goods and to teach them to buy your goods. One of the chief assets of a town is good health, which blessing Kingstree has abundantly enjoyed this summer. A local physician, in conversation a few days ago, informed us that there had not been a single ease of typhoid fever in the town this year and other cases of illness due to cli matic or sanitary conditions were exceedingly rare. Kingstree is favored as few towns are by high and dry location and natural drainage. We venture the opinion that the health record of the town would compare favorably with that of almost any summer resort.

Uvd ?-i?-nViokl,r V?onr<l fin7PT15 ^ I uu uav t pi vu t+uij u\.Mt u \4vuv..w ! of times the old "story that a drug b store was a plaee to "get something j just as good." There is at least one ? j druggist in the world that you can't t say this about. c It is certain that an inferior arti-1 cle will never be substituted for a: guaranteed one by Dr W V Brockington. Take, for instance, a safe,1 ^ reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodson's Liver Tone, j r This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satisfactory a liver stimu-i lant and reliever of biliousness, and ? to entirely take the place of calomel * without any danger or restriction of r habits or diet, that there are dozens ; of preparations springing up with 0 imitations of its claims. < But Dodson's Liver Tone is guar- [ anteed to do all that is claimed for it and if you are not satisfied with it; ; Dr W Vr Brockington will hand your t i money back with a smile. Any per-1 * son going to this store for a bottle I of Dodson's Liver Tone will be sure of getting a large bottle of this gen- ? uine remedy in exchange for his half f dollar. adv. j HEBRON HAPPENINGS. C Baseball Badinage?A Pleasant [ Entertainment?Personal. i Hebron, August 23: ? Our local ; baseball team was very much disap- . noinfced last Saturday afternoon to I find that the Cades boys did not 1 mind breaking their promise. The previous Saturday, when our team visited Cades, they agreed to come to our grounds two weeks hence, which was last Saturday. The Hebron boys had just got a new pitcher, who said what it took to fan the Cades boys he happened to have it. j In reply to what was printed concerning the game at Cades we will say that there were only four of our boys there,but we will accept it as a 1 beat if Cades will come and play us on our diamond. We also remark in * passing that Cades need not bring : any fielders if their pitcher is as ' good as ours.
