in mind the accumulating of;
dollars by depositing one's
savings in sucii an institution
as the Bank of Williamsburg,
where we not only take care
of your money for you but
pay you for the privilege of
doing so. Don't hoard your
surplus at home. The time
I- is now near at hand when almost
every industrious workr
ing man will have more or
less ready money. Open an
account with our Bank, if
you have not already done
so. and let vour monev work

Governor Blease has ordered an
election to be held on the second
Tuesday in November on the question
of the annexation of a portion
of Clarendon county ^o Williamsburg.
This election was ordered after
the proper petitions in each case
h?H been filed with and Dassed on by
the Attorney General. It is said that
the election will be carried in favor
of the proposition and we are glad
to welcome these good people.
The excursion to Charleston from
Bennettsville and intermediate
points,under the auspices of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of
Elks of Florence, left Kingstree at
9:30 this morning. One hundred and
twenty-five tickets were sold,mostly
to people from the country. About
50 tickets were also sold to colored
people, who were only permitted to
go on the second section of the excursion
train, which left Kingstree
an hour later.
Last week, while the paper was
hpinc nrinted. one of the figures in
the statement of the condition of the
Farmers & Merchants Bank of Lake
City pulled out of ::orm, making
the item, "Individual deposits subjoct
to check," appear $23 ,558.84,
instead of $230,558.84, as the copy
showed. For this reason we are
! again publishing the statement in
1 this issue, with the missing figure in
J place. We regret that the excellent
showing made by this popular bank
should be thus marred,but accidents
will occur. The deposits up to the
close of business August 9, 1913, it
will be noted in the corrected report,
show a total of more than $320,000,
a sum greater than any other bank
in Florence county had on deposit at
that time, albeit there are several
others with larger capital stocks.
York county has issued bonds for
$75,000 for the erection of a new
| court house.
COMMISSIONERS CANVASS VOTE
Effort to Throw Out Certain Preclnts
to Change Election Result.
At 12:30 o'clock Tuesday the State
and county board of commissioners
of election, Theo Gourdin, M A Ross
and J C Kinder, met in the court
house for the purpose of making an
official canvass of the vote polled in
the dispensary election held in Williamsburg
county on August 19.
Mr Paul Harper acted as clerk of
the board.
Tne result of the official count
gives a majority of 2 against the dispensary,
while the managers' returns
gave a majority of six against it.
LeRoy Lee, Esq, as attorney for
adherents of the dispensary, appeared
before the board and served notice
of protest with reference to the
polls at Hebron Church and Muddy
Creek. These polls cinched the result
of the contest for the "dry"
forces on the day of election by returning
a total vote of 22 for and
41 against tne dispensary.
In the affidavits presented by Mr
Lee, it is claimed that voters at the
contested polls were not required to
present registration certificates or
tax receipts. On these grounds Mr
Lee demanded that the vote at these
precincts be thrown out and the result
of the election declared in favor
of the dispensary. This move on the
part of the dispensary forces had
been a well-guarded secret and proved
to be a great surprise to the antidispensary
people, when sprung at
Tuesday's meeting.
In behalf of the prohibition forces
C W Stoll, Esq, filed affidavits pnr
porting that certain voters at the
Kingstree poll were not required to
take the prescribed oath and on this
ground demanded that the vote at
this poll be not counted.
The board did not conclude their
work Tuesday but set Saturday, August
30, as the date for taking testimony
and hearing argument by
counsel from both sides.

Do us a favor?look through the
advertisements in The Record. Sell
your tobacco at the warehouses that
advertise, then spend your money
with the progressive business houses
whose ads appear in our columns.
Mr D W Courtney of Indiantown
sold a load of the golden weed on
the Kingstrec market yesterday at a
good price. Mr Courtney's son,J S,
fifteen years old, we believe, holds
thp rponrd for the season, having
recently sold three lots, which he
raised himself, at 16$c, 19c and 42c
per pound.
Kingstree's warehousemen do not
permit one of their customers to
leave their warehouses dissatisfied
with the price received for their tobacco.
They realize that one satisfied
customer is worth a dozen dissatisfied
ones and want you to realize
that when you bring your tobacco to
Kingstree you are not only doing the
right thing, but selling on the best
tobacco market in the State. Bring
along the remainder of your crop,
prices are still high.
