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.
W H Fortune, a stone-cutter of
Augusta, Ga, was stricken with apoplexy
Sunday, while bathing at the
Isle of Palms. When taken from
the water life was extinct.
John W Young, the cowboy heavy
weight pugilist, died in a hospital in
Los Angeles, California, of injuries
received Saturday night, when he
was knocked out by Jess Willard.

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST.
o:
The Old Joke About "Something Just n

! 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

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.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
>y local applications, as they cannot reach the dis ased
portion of the car. There is only one way to
ure deafness, and that is by constitutional remelies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition
if the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
Vhen this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
ound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirey
closed,Deafness is the result, and unless the inlammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
o its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
'orever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Caarrh,which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
if the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
