never seen any larger, pre-cuci ui j
of better color or flavor, than those i
grown right here in Kingstree by I
Mrs W H McGee. This good lady |
seems to have fhe art of making
things grow and she certainly at?
tained almost to perfection with the i
peaches referred to. To give some
idea of these peaches, the three
samples sent us measured ten
inches each in circumference and
their combined weight was a
pound and a half. We believe that.
they will compare favorably with j
fruit grown in California or any-1
where else.

The Tobacco Industry-BaseballPlea
For the Birds?Personal.
Benson "July 21: ?The culture of
tobacco is rapidly becoming one of j
the chief and most profitable indus-1
tries of the county. At a tender age
the weed is attacked by the "tobacco
worm", which multiplies at
* i ^ ii-.i .*i A
sucn a rapid rait* unit u is a
problem to destroy tliem in
time to prevent damage to the growing
leaves. During the most worm
season we noticed our tobacco fields
were visited by drove of black birds,
sparrows and sap-suckers evidently
taking worms from the field. Even
the well known mocking birds,while
thev saner their sweet carols, would |
dart away to the field and returit J
with a worm for their hungry
nestlings?. The time is approaching
now when reckless boys and aven
men go out and shoot down tnese
useful birds. Every land owner
should positively prohibit such
wanton destruction of these creatures
on their premises.
Miss Rosa McCroy, of Whjjeville, ,

For the last time this season Benson

Saturday two games were played J
here, the morning game was decidedly
for the home team, in the ,
afternoon the game was closely con- (
tested resulting in a score of 7 to 0 ,
in favor of Benson. Our boys have ,
wop the most of the games, thus far.
this season, and if they would arrange
a better play-ground equipment
themselves with up-to-date
masks, mits and uniforms, better ,

A Card.
Editor County Record:?
Looking over one of the copies of
your paper for AprH, I was shocked,
as well as much surprised, to find in
the notes from Hebron, an error
concerning myself, stating that Miss
Hattie Thomas and I were happily
married on Easter Sunday, which is
false, and I feel sure it will be injurious
to this young lady's pleasures,
without correction. For her
sake, I ask kindly that this be published
as false in your next week's
issue. I feel sure it will be a
pleasure, 'as weli as your duty, to
X xl_
correct cms error.
Thanking you in advance for the
prompt attention given this matter,
I am, Yours truly,
A 0 Coker.
Columbia, S C, July 19, 1914.
The item referred to in the foregoing
was sent us by a correspondent
from Hebron, with the nom de
plume, "A Friend." Of course, we
feel mortified that a false report
should have been given publicity
through our columus, ?jut we had
no reason to doubt the authenticity
nf the rpnort and a * it. rv?mp in so
late, we could not have verified it
had we tried to d(- so.
After this lapse of time, we shall
not take action in the matter, but
we hereby give nctice that the next
time we are made party to such a j
"joke," as we suppose the corres- \
pondent intended -;t to be, we shall j
prosecute the offending party tu the (
utmost extent of I he law. ;
Meantime, we have on file the !
real name signed to this communication,
which is at the disposal of

FOURTE EN GOLD PRK
AWAY TO SUBSCRIR
We have often heard it remarked!
that the people of Williamsburg1
county kept in touch with both State
and county politics as closely as do
any people in the entire State. In j
Dther words, our people "just natu-i
rally like politics." ji
Now, to try out this theory and, |
withal, to add a little more excite-j
ment to the present campaign and |
while away these long summer days
we have decided to offer our read?rs
a big voting contest, the particulars
of which are given below. To
nake worth whiie the time and!
thought expended on the part of'
rontestants, we have arranged to {
rive away fourteen gold prizes?'
real money?in from $2.50 to $20.00 i
?old pieces. The contest will be absolutely
fair?the best guessers get i
the money. The contest starts tolay
and will close Monday, August
14?the day before the primary elec- j
don. The total amount of gold
money is sixty-five dollars, as folows:
One double eagle,$20; one ea?le.
$10; two half eagles, $10; ten
quarter eagles, ($2.50 each) $25?
:otal, $65.00. In case of a tie the
money will be fairly distributed
imong the winners.
Nbw, here are the conditions:
Below we print a ticket containingj
;be names of all the candidates1
"or State and Federal offices, with a
>lank space (dotted line) for the1
lame and address of the guesser.
Do the person who comes nearest to j
fuessrng the winning candidates, the
jokl priaes will be given.
Just dip the ballot from the pa-;
>er and scratch , the names off the j
icket, as you do in voting: in a prinary
election. The names left on
he ticket will be counted as your
fuess.
No ballots will be counted except
hose dipped from The Record. Any |
>erson may vote any number, of
imes. Additional copies of the pa>er
containing: ballots may be had
it The Record office at five cents i
ach.
Every person who sends in a guess
nust enclose one dollar for one:
ear's subscription to The Record
vith each guess. If you are already
i subscriber and paid in advance the
ine or more dollars sent will be;
redited to extend your subscription, I
ir you may nave me paper sent to
iny of your friends for one or more
ears. j J
No contestant is limited to one!1
ruess.but each may send in as many *
ickets as he or she pleases,provided
hat one dollar is sent in with every;
ruess. One contestant mav take ten !
>r more guesses, if he wishes, and 'i
?ossibly win several prizes. I f
The names need not be the per-!1
onal preferences of those who send *
hem in. but will be their judgment i
is to who will be elected. The names,'
if those *aocU&ff the ballots will be i
leld in confidence, and will not be *
riven out, except the names of the *
rinners of the prizes after the con- (
est closes, which will be after the <
lection is finally settled, after the
econd primary. <
The ballots for each candidate will 1
>e counted as they come in, and the *
esult will be published from time x
4
o time in The County Record. This
vill be a "straw ballot," which we S
elieve will be, of interest to our
eaders, as it will be a forecast by <
he readers of The Record as to how *
hey think the election will i?o in 1
his county.
Cut out the ballot, strike out all i
xcept those you think will be electd.
and send it in at once. You can
