AD. CAMPAIGN PROJECTED
^ To Boost Williamsburg 'County
and Klngstree Tobacco Market.
A called meeting of the Kingstree
Board or Trade was held at the
court house Tuesday night. The object
of the meeting was to discuss
2 and,if possible, inaugurate plans for
' an advertising campaign in the interest
of Williamsburg county and
| the Kingstree tobacco market.
This was the first meeting of the
board since its reorganization June
9, and the report of Treasurer W H
Welch, while not altogether as enl.
couraging as it might have been.
was encouraging in view of the
scarcity of money and the slack business
conditions prevalent the past
few months. The report showed that
twenty-five members had enrolled
and paid in their annual fee, and
that fifty or more had expressed
their intention of becoming members
just as soon as the financial
stringency relaxed.
There was every indication at the
^ meeting Tuesday night that the or^
ganization would soon get down to
?. tkot umnlri hriner
worn 1U a vraj wiv>v - ? _
about beneficent results.
Another, and a very important
meeting, will be held at the court
house next Monday night,when it is
hoped a full turn-out of Kingstree's
business men will be present.
A YOUTHFUL MURDERER.
FIve-Year-Old Negro Beats Colored
Infant to Death.
Lancaster, July 7:?News reached
here today of the killing of a negro
child by a small boy in one of the
rural districts of the county Saturday.
The child's mother, it seems,
had asked a little negro boy 5 years
of age to look after and amuse her
baby while she went on some errand
or to do some work a short distance
from the house. The boy replied
that he wouldn't mind the DaDy out
would kill it if left with him. Thinking
that the youthful pickaninny
might carry out his threat of killing
her baby if left to his keeping, the
mother locked the child in a room
until she could get back, as she
thought. But she had not been
gone long ere she was called back to
view the remains of her dead baby,
for the little boy, who had been requested
to attend the child during
the mother's absence, had climbed
in at the window, it is said, and
with a stick had beaten the babv to
death. Sheriff Hunter went yesterday
to the scene of the murder,
where he interviewed the youthful
alleged murderer and his parents
F and found the facts in the case as
stated aboye.

Benson, July 8:?Farmers of this
section are very much delighted, j
having had such favorable weather \
conditions up to the present time.
We had rain sufficient in the early j
spring to germinate the planted j
seeds and start them to growing.
May and June were dry sufficiently
for the planters to kill the growth
of grass, and now July brings abundant
refreshing showers to insure
the fruiting process.
Wednesday a few families of this
community went to Black river late
I in the afternoon for a pleasure trip,
where they found elegant bream, |
trout and red-breast that were just
caught for the occasion. The fish
were fine, fried while they fluttered
fresh from the stream. By the moonlight,
aided by a swinging lantern,
supper was served and soon after
fair Luna's shadows began to lengththat
it was time to
ICUUUUUig vtiwv .?
move toward home. After an hour's
drive that destination was reached
and only pleasant memories linger
after such a delightful outing.
In reporting the Children's day
exercises at Cedar Swamp we unintentionally
(copied from notes carried
to The Record office) omitted
the name's of Misses Hessie and Eula
Everette and Edith McCullough,
who had very prominent places on j
the programme and who have efficiently
rendered their services on
such occasions in the past. We are
sorry that the omission inadvertently
occurred.
The "Fourth" was certainly spent
"safe and sane" indoors, rain in this
section falling during the entire afternoon.
Mrs Ervin Grayson is able to be
out, after being ill for some time.
The young people enjoyed an icecream
party at the home of Mr J B
Chandler Tuesday evening.
A young man from Darlington
county is making visits here at short
intervals. Well, what is to be, will
be.

Mr Sam 1 Gaskins Dead.
We learn with sincere regret of
the death of Mr Sam T Gaskins,
whose home is near Lake City, Monday,
June 29. Mr Gaskins was out
walking near his house when he
was suddenly stricken with heart
failure and his death was almost
instantaneous.
