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

We were pleased to meet up with

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

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. <
