The Wee Nee bank has moved in?
to its new home at the corner of
. Main and Academy streets. One
j would hardly recognize this modern
. new banking house as the old Stack2
ley store since so many changes
2 have been made both in the exterior
and interior arrangement of the
building. The furniture and fixtures
1 are of mahogany and gray marble,
s and represent the latent designs in
- banking house fixtures. The busi"
ness of the bank had long since out1
grown its quarters near the rail
? road, and the acquisition and occupation
of this new home is but an?
other indication of the substantial
1 progress of Kingstree and the sur,
rounding community.

MEETING OF OEM.
COUNTY CONVENTION.
NINETEEN CLUBS REPRESENTED
BY 101 DELEGATES?FOUR NEW
CLUBS-PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL
The Democratic county convention
met here at 12 o'clock in the
court house Monday. There were
present 101 delegates, representing
nlnhs at the follnwinc votinc Dre
cincts: Kingstree, Morrisville,Cades,
Black River, Suttons, Greelyville,
Bloomingvale, Earles, Taft, Salters,
Indiantown, Trio, Cedar Swamp,
Poplar Hill, Central, Muddy. Creek,
Rough Branch, Hebron and Lenud.
The following new clubs were reported:
Bethel, Johnsonville, Workman
and Hemingway. These clubs
were admitted as units of the county
organization, their delegates en!
tered on the roll of the convention
> t-> rv.i. n: j
ana H^atea. rergamus, ua*. ruuge
and Altman clubs were not represented.
P H Stoll, Esq, was elected permanent
president of the convention
and A C Hin^s, Esq, secretary. A
solid anti-Blease delegation was
chosen to represent this county in
the State convention. The following
named gentlemen were placed
in nomination: J H Pratt, B B
Chandler, J J Snow, I N Boyd, E C
Epps, D G Huggins* W T Rowell,
Hugh McCutchen, J R Barrow, S B
Poston, W E Nesmith, Dr A G Eadriy,
G M Beasley, T 0 Epps, J A
McCullough, Dr W C Hemingway,
L F Rhem, N M Venters.
These were elected by a majority
vote on the first ballot:
E C Epps.Kingstree; Dr J H Pratt,
Nesmith; Hugh McCutchen, Kingstree;
S B Poston, Johnsonville; Dr
I N Boyd, Greelyville; B B Chandler.
Rome; W E Nesmith, Kingstree, and
G M Beasley, Gourdins.
P H Stoll was re-elected member
ber of the State Executive committee.
A resolution offered by Mr J J
Snow of Rome, proposing changes
in the primary system was eliminated
after considerable discussion.
The resolution was defeated on the
ground that there was no fraud
practiced in the primaries of this
county; that practically the same
I rules as provided tor in tne resoiu[
tion did not prevent fraud in Charleston
and other large voting centres
of the State. The delegates to
the State convention were authorized
to support any measures that
might be brought before the convention
for the safeguarding of the
primary system.
The county executive committee
met at 3:30 in the afternoon with
Mr Stoll in the chair. A resolution
wa3 passed putting candidates for
magistrate in the primary. Candidates
for the various county offices
to be elected this year were assessed
as follows: For the Senate, $20;
House, $10; County Treasurer, $20;
Auditor, $20; Superintendent of Education,
$25; Road Engineer, $25;
Magistrate of Kingstree. $5; other
Magistrates, $2.50. The meeting
was largely attended and harmony
prevailed. P H Stoll was re-elected
county chairman and A C Hinds
secretary.
The committee named Kingstree,
Greelyville, Trio, Morrisville, Hebron
and Muddy Creek precincts as
places for holding campaign meetings.
The dates for these meetings
will be named later.
Before adjourning a motion was
adopted whereby the selection of
managers is to be made by executive
committeemen instead of by
club presidents as heretofore. The
names of those selected by the various
club executive committemen are
to be forwarded to County Chairman
Stoll for publication at least
three weeks prior to the date of the
first primary.

Building Progress.
I Work on the numerous new buildings
going up in Kingstree is progressing
favorably and most of them
' are now undergoing the finishing
touches.
Mr Chas H Singleton has a large
force of workmen on the buildings
! of Mr W H Carr and the Peoples
Mercantile Co, the former to be
: occupied by the Kingstree Hardware
Co, and they are pushing the work
rapidly, so that these concerns can
move into their new quarters before
the opening of the tobacco season in
Julv.
The new tobacco warehouse that
is being built in the Nelson addition
for Mr M R Gass is already rounding
into shape, and will be ready for
business by the time "first primings"
are marketed.
Contractor Singleton has recently
started work on a handsome new
residence for Mr L C Montgomery,
on Hampton avenue. The foundation
has been laid and the framing
timbers are now being put up.
The pretty new home of Dr and
Mrs R C McCabe, on the northwest
edge of town, is about ready for occupancy.
The location and surroundings
of this new home add
much to its attractiveness, ana we
believe "Doc" will have plenty of
space for his fine poultry.
The large new brick warehouse
being built by Mr R H Kellahan on
the site of the old Gorrell warehouse
is nearing completion, and the Central
warehouse on the opposite side
of Hampton avenue has been completed
and is ready for use. At
present it is being used as a roller
skating rink.
Dr R J McCabe and Mr L T
Thompson are remodeling and painting
up the store room of the McCabe
building on Main street with
i a view to opening up a moving pic
! ture show.
Work on the new store rooms under
construction by Dr D C Scott
and Mr R H Kellahan on Academy
street, opposite the postoffice, is
progressing nicely and will be ready
for use by the middle of June.
Little Doing In County Politics.
The political horizon in Williamsburg
is, as yet, practically clear. So
far only a few gentlemen have announced
their intention of becoming
candidates for county offices. It is,
however, generally presumed that
all old office holders,whose offices are
to be filled at the election this fall,
will be in the race for re-election.
To date there is a dearth of new
candidates, notwithstanding the fact
that the "road is wide and clear,"
as a candidate said the other day to
a probable opponent. It is rumored
that there will be several aspirants
in the race for Road Engineer.
Only one, so far, has openly an'
nounced himself.
It is believed that there will be
no opposition in the field to Mr
Cook for County Treasurer, while it
is probable that Mr Montgomery
will be opposed for Auditor.
Mr Speigner announces his candidacy
this week for re-election to the
office of County Superintendent of
Education. There are no other aspirants
for this post that we know
of at present, although the names of
several have been mentioned by
their friends as probable candidates.
It is entirely problematical just
now as to how the candidates for
the House of Representatives will
line up in the first primary. The
names of several new men have
I
been mentioned in connection with
t^i'o nffioo onrl if is jrenerallv be
WtJIO U1U\.V J Mt*v* ? D ,
lieved that each of the old members
will stand for re-election.
There are several who want to go
the Senate, and considerable talk is
heard with regard to this office, but
no one has yet openly" announced
himself as being in the race.
The field to select from in Williamsburg
is large and the season is
ripe for work.
