Emerson and Finley.
Tuesday was a day of disaster in
railroad circles, when the heads of
the two leading arteries of commerce
in the South crossed the
Great Divide. The death of President
T M Emerson, of the Atlantic
Coast Line,and President WW Finley,
of the Southern Railway, is
more far-reaching than the immedJnin
lrwao iViP Crrpjlt TililwaV SVS
laiv IVOO vv V?1V v v
tems with which their efficient services
were identified. The death of
these men,who may truly be called
captains of industry, is a sad blow,
not only to the section most l>enefited
by their broad intelligence and
masterly powers of organization, but
to the whole United States, which
furnishes few examples of constructive
talent .supplemented by the fine
judgment,energy and determination
that overrides obstacles in the way of
success, which marked the life-work
of these master-builders.
Just how much their loss will
mean to their respective railway
systems and to the country at large
will depend in a great measure on
the calibre of the men chosen to take
their places at the front of forces
of progress and development that
must go onward, regardless of the
lives and personalities of those who
for a while direct their line of!
march.
"Lever As a Lifter."
Quoth our sprightly contempora-1
ry, the Georgetown Times: "Lever
O fulommi for the liftincr of
HCCV.1.7 t* iViiVi v.... -v.- w ^
4Ed' Smith out of the United States
Senate."
If we remember aright, Mr Lever
said when he first offered for Con -'
gress that "his father was a Lever
and his mother was a Derrick, and
between the two lie thought he could
l>e lifted into the office he sought."
Tiiat he was lifted,or lifted himself,
k there, is a palpable fact and we do
'V* ? not think his lifting powers have been
impaired with the passing years.
We are thankful for being alive,
when so many more worthy than j
we have within the. past year slept
the sleep of death.
We hear frequent complaints about
live-stock running at large through
the streets, especially horses and
mules. Better stop this practice

The New York World says that

agree with The World; if some one

We are thankful to the few subj
scriliers who have been thoughtful
I enough to pay their subscriptions to
the paper, and we thank in advance
the many who intend to pay up in
the near future.

Governor Blease has paroled five
| more convicts, bringing the total of
; the Thanksgiving list up to 105.
| Perhaps he would release them all,
but for the fact of that it would
bring him into the lime-light too
long 'oefore the election.
A Lexington county jnry gave a
man a verdict of $2,500 l>ecause a
passing locomotive whistle caused
his horse to run away in the plow
and the man's collar-bone waslbroken.
If verdicts of this kind were
allowed to stand the railroads would
soon have to go out of business.
Some people appear not to grasp j
the fact that a railroad is entitled

The town of Fulton, West Virginia,
with three thousand inhabitants,
has not a single clock or watch
within its limits, according to the
tax collector's report. In West Virginia,
as in this State, clocks and
watches are taxed as personal property
when returned to the tax assessor.
Ohio county, which includes
the city of Wheeling, has a population
Of over sixty thousand, yet only
274 watches and clocks are returned
for taxatftm in the whole county. It

The Manning Herald says that
a friend called on the editor recently
and remarked that he wished to
pay his subscription to the paper for
the rest of his life, thereupon handing
the, aforesaid newspaper man
one hundred dollars in real money.
Friends like that are worth having,
but it would be a mistaken kindness
to bestow such munificence
upon many newspaper men, for
the recipients would probably drop
dead from heart failure. The
Record would be mightily pleaded
to enter sej^ral life subscriptions at
even twenty-five simoleons, but
the most liberal subscriber we ever
had never went beyond five dollars
at a time as concrete evidence of
his appreciation of the paper.

Next year will be campaign year
and it bids fair to be a lively campaign
and everybody will want to j
keep posted on the issues of the,
day. We have made arrangements j
with Columbia State to club The
County Record with the SemiWeekly
State for only $1.85 per an- i
num. This is an offer that never j
has been made before and it gives
to every subscriber the chance to get
the news of the daily papers condensed
twice every week along with 1
the county paper. This offer is(
made to old as well as new subscrib-;
ers. Send in your subscription at
once to this office.
If you owe us on subscription
don't put us to the trouble and expense
of mailing you a statement.
Look at the label on your paper and
see. It costs us about $25 to mail i
out 1,000 statements and at the low j
price of $1.00 a year for the paper i
we can't afford this extra expense. |

Mr Whltner Reld Speaks to Farmers?
Neighborhood News.
Benson, November 26:?Those of
the community who attended the
meeting at the school building
Thursday evening were pleasantly
entertained by Hon J Whitner Reid,
secretary of the South Carolina State
" T TT 1_ _
farmers union, ne spoKe very
eloquently and earnestly in behalf
of the re-organization of the local
Farmers' Union, and placed some
"fillers" on the programme between
talks in the form of old-time songs
with guitar accompaniment; but the
disbanded members at Cedar Swamp
responded not to the suggestion of 1
the State secretary.
Miss Beulah Warren, one of the
teachers in Cedar Swamp Graded
school, Miss Grace Haddock, Messrs
Hugh Tisdale and Alex Tisdale visited
the City by the Sea last week ,
and reported an enjoyable time at j
the Charleston Fair.

Banks to Increase Capital.
The stockholders of the Bank of
Kingstree met at the bank here Friday
and unanimously approved the
resolutions adopted by the board of
directors, providing for an increase
in the hank's capital stock from
$30>000 to ?00,000. The meeting
was well attended. Already enough
stock of the new issue lias lieen applied
for to run the bank's capital
to $100,000,if it were possible under
the law to do so. The new issue
was limited to each subscriber. The
readiness with which this increase of
?tock has been subscribed to speaks
well for the financial condition of
the county and is highly significant
of the excellent financial status of
the institution.
Monday there was a meeting of
the stockholders of the Bank of Williamsburg
here for the purpose of
considering resolutions passed by
the board of directors recommending
an increase in the capital st3ck
of the bank from ?10,(XX) to $100,(KX).
The meeting was harmonious
in every respect and the stockholders
unanimously approved the recommendation
of their directors by voting
for the increased capitalization.
The matter of converting the institution
from a State bank into a
National bank was deferred. This
question will, however, be taken up
at the regular annual meeting of
the stockholders in January, 1914.

SCRANTON SNAPSHOTS.
A Colored Scrap?Death of Mr E A
Poston?Lyceum Attraction.
Scranton, November 24:?Mr E
A Poston, of Hannah, died last Sunday
after an illness of one week
from pneumonia. Mr Poston was I
a merchant and planter. He is survived
by a wife and several children.
Webb Eddy, colored, was seriously
cut and stabbed in a fight here
Sunday afternoon at the colored
Baptist church. It seems that the
"fuss" had been brewing a week
and yesterday at the church, during
services, Webb Eddy and two McElveen
brothers left the church a short
distance and became engaged in a
dispute. Each side has its story;
some say Eddy advanced oil the others
with a stick,when all closed in and
in the scuffle one of the McElveens
cut his way out. A fourth party
drew an axe and was going to add
the "finishing touches" when a
friend relieved him of the weapon.
The injured man was attended by
Dr Pate, and an examination revealed
two ugly wounds in the back.
Eddy's assailants were held for safe
keeping, but later released on bond.
The injured man will probably recover.
Heralded as a "Hailstorm," W
Powell Hale, impersonator and third
number of the lyceum course, entertained
a packed audience at the
school house here last Thursday
night. Mr Hale made a big hit in j
his impersonations and elicited con- |
tinual applause and laughter for one j
hour and twenty-five minutes.
