How about remembering the orphans at Christmas time? Thus far we have received only one small cash contribution. Anything entrusted to us will be duly forwarded and the names of the donors published in The Record. We are much gratified by the many expressions of commendation elicited by our Christmas issue of last week. True, there were some kickers, but that is inevitable, we suppose, it matters not how hard we strive to please everybody. Mr Samuel G McClary, whose home is in Atlanta, Ga, is here on a visit for the first time in fourteen years. Mr McClary is a natiye of Williamsburg and has many friends in town and county who are pleased to welcome him back to his old home. We were pleased to meet up with our old friend, Dr Joseph S Cun ningham of Indiantown, Friday of last week. The Doctor bears his years easily and gets about with an activity and sprightliness that many a man far younger in years might well envy. It was our pleasure to receive a visit Saturday from our old friend, Mr W W Burrows of Leo. It is hard to realize that "Billy" is old enough to become a father-in-law, but such is the case, as his daughter's marriage was noted in our columns last week. "SPUGS" is an organization recently formed whose membership is rapidly growing.

Mrs J Marvin Martin and little laughter, Florence Clarice, came lere last week from their home near iennettsville with the body of Mr ,nd Mrs Martin's infant daughter, ged ten months. The funeral and aterment of the little one took place iunday morning at the Williamsburg emetery, the services being conucted by Rev D A Phillips. Next week being Christmas week, I'he Record will be published on Vednesday, as Christmas day falls n Thursday, our regular day of ublication. We hereby give notice hat all advertising copy or comnunications intended for next week's issue must reach our office iot later than Monday, December 2, in order to appear in the curent issue. Capt and Mrs R B Lyons of Maning.who have been visiting relatives-! ' in town, left yesterday for Charleston to spend several days. They were accompanied to the "City by the Sea" by Mrs Amelia Scott and daughter, Miss Carrie. The many friends of Capt Lyons at this, his former home, regret that his healch is so feeble that he had to give up his hotel business in Manning. The number of bales of cotton ginned in South Carolina during the present season, prior to December 1, amounted to 1,160,815 bales, or 119,126 bales more than for the same period last year, according to. the figures given out by the United States census bureau. Orangeburg leads with 67,336 bales. Williamsburg reports 21,484 bales for this vear. as eomDared with 19.938 bales i up to the same time last year. Mr W E Nesmith of Cades has leased the building occupied last season by Gass. Gorrell & Currin as "Gorrell's Tobacco Warehouse" and will conduct a tobacco warehouse here#ext year. Mr Nesmith has also purchased the dwelling owned by Mrs Belle Blakeley, in North Kingstree, and will remove his family here as soon as practicable after the advent of the new year. These good people will be in every respect desirable citizens and we take pleasure on behalf of the town in welcoming them in our midst, We ask our readers as a special favor to patronize the business firms that advertise in The Record. It is due to these enterprising men that we are able to get out a paper like ] The Record for the small sum of i $1.00 a year, so that tjhey help them- i selves, our readers and us, all together. It is a mutually co-operative relation and the greatest factor of the combination is the concerted action of our subscribers in responding to the invitation extend- 1 ed them by these enterprising business houses through our col- 1 umns. On account of advertising and correspondence coming in after our time limit, we are again late in issuing the paper this week. We, of course,regret having to send out the I paper late so often, but it is a mat- j ter of imrjossibilitv to set the type until the "copy" comes in and it is equally impossible to set the type for the whole paper in one or two days. We try to be accommodating when new ads, changes for old ones and correspondence come in late, but it is simply impossible to get out on time until our friends learn to send in their copy before Wednesday and Thursday. In response to the call published in the last issue of The Record, a good representation of the business men of Kingstree attended the mass meeting at the court house Monday night to consider ways and means tending to the furtherance of the Kingstree tobacco market and ad- j vertising the same for the season of ] 1914. The meeting: was a very har-1 moniou8 one,and the work of raising funds by subscription and the promoting of an advertising campaign was placed in the hands of the com- < mittee who carried on the work last j season. Capt Jno A Kelley was ap- 1 pointed a committee of one to conduct negotiations with railroad offi- 1 rials in regard to securing special rates on tobacco shipped to the local ( market for sale. < 1 . - i The Kingstree Drug Co has a fine 1 line of Kern's Candies for the holiday trade, also Crystallized Fruits, f etc. 12-11-lt r You Are Invited. j Our store is beautiful at night. c We keep open till nine o'clock, and i ?
