The exhibit by the tomato clubs of Williamsburg county, held in the court house here last Saturday, is but a minor indication of what these clubs can accomplish with a little perseverance and ingenuity. In the spring there were organized and set to work by Miss Amanda Edwards, county agent, among the girls of the county eight canning or tomato clubs, composed of some 10 or 50 young ladies. Their work ?4^a fAmofn roiainty A iU) I1UI CUU1U1CU IU biriuobv. i and canning.but they were to can or preserve, in addition to tomatoes, anything they could produce. Their ifforts have been successful aifti should be highly gratifying to the parents and everyone interested in ;his line of work, which not only levelops these young ladies into aseful citizens but puts them upon a nore independent plane by enabling diem to help themselves. This fall these young ladies, members of the various canning clubs, ?ot together a collection of their products, which was put on exhibi;ion at the recent State Fair at Co umbia, where they made a most :reditable showing for themselves, "or their organizer and for their :ounty, for there is no disputing the "act that the Williamsburg booth at :he Columbia Fair showed up as well is that of any other county where :onditions were equal. This same exhibit was shown here ast Saturday, with a few additional articles from club members who did aot contribute to the State exhibit, DUt on account of the exceedinglybad weather that prevailed all day, there were only a few of the county people present to vie .v the splendid display. On that account the exhibit tias been keDt intact and will again :>e open to the public next Saturday, at which time the names of the prize winners will be announced. The following young ladies are ;ontributors to the splendid stock >n display and are therefore constants for prizes: Misses Maude Sexton, Ora Mckenzie, Lula Sexton, Bessie Williamion, Bertie Wilson, Lois Nesmit, Lizjie McElveen, Eva Gamble, Ela Du3ose, Walline Huggins, Anna Perry, Sallie Haselden, Archie Smith.

Columbia, November 18: ? The Governor today refused to attend a meeting of the State's financial board, when the question of borrowing $150,000 for the current expenses of the State Government was considered. "Therefore you need not count upon me at your meeting, nor will I sign any paper unless you can borrow the money at least at as low a rate of interest as 3 per cent," said the Governor, which he sent to the board. S T Carter, State Treasurer, and A W Jones, Comptroller General, attended the meeting. The board decided to ask the banks of the State for bids on the loan. The bids will be opened at a meeting of the board to be held November 30. Comptroller General Jones said that he would hold up any warrants that might be presented by the ctfato Hpnnrtmpnt nf pHnpatinn until the money was borrowed. Mr F A Stall will open up a first class general repair shop in the Thomas building tomorrow morning, where he will be prepared to do all kinds of repairing, painting, upholstering and scientific horse-shoeing. It To Our Subscribers. The time has come when it is absolutely necessary to call on our delinquent subscribers to pay us what they owe on subscription. We have put off this disagreeable matter as long as possible, but with the heavy obligations facing us, it is imperative that those who take the paper come to our aid.We realize that conditions are such that money is scarce, but we have put the price of the paper down as low as possible, I even if we collect from every sub scriber in arrears. Ana, nonesuy, we believe that nine-tenths of our subscribers are able to pay the small amount they owe us, but it is really so small that some seem to think that we don't need it. Remember, friends, that while it means a few cents to you. in the aggregate it means over a thousand dollars to us, and unless we can collect these ; small amounts from all of our subscribers, our entire year's work goes for nothing. We keenly" appreciate the hard times prevailing, as they hit us as I hard as any other class,and perhaps a little bit harder than some, for 1 we have to buy every mouthful we | eat (except the gifts of our generous friends once in a while) and every stick of wood we burn, besides ! other necessaries. Provisions are ! going up and everything in the way ; of printing material is soaring along i with them. Unly the price or tne paper remains the same, and we are entitled to that?don't you think so? Don't wait on the other fellow, now, but look at the label on your paper and if you are behind please let us hear from you. Every month prices on paper and job stock are advancing. We have te meet these bills on 30 days' time and at the low price we charge for job printing we cannot afford to carry such items on our books, or our capital would soon be all tied up in book accounts. Therefore, we hereby give notice that (til Job Work is expected to be paid for, cash on i delivery. This applies to every one.

Lady Heater Lucy Stanhope, when staying at Walmer castle in 1804, quite unwittingly accomplished the feat of changing the uniform of a regiment of the county militia. The anecdote, which illustrates a curious streak of vanity in old-time army officers, appears in an account of Lady Stanhope's life by Mr. Prank Hamel. "Somebody asked me before a great many officers what I thought of them," said Lady Stanhope, "and I said that they looked like so many tinned harlequins. One day, soon after, I was riding through Walmer villaee. when who should dod out o ' A A upon me but the colonel, dressed in entirely new regimentals, with different facings, more like thoee of a regiment of the line. "'Pray pardon me, Lady Hester,' he began. So I stopped, and he addressed me. Tray pardon me,' said the colonel, *but?I wish to know if you approve of our new uniform.' Of course I made him turn about and I inspected him round and round?pointed with my whip as I sat on horseback, first here and there ?told him the waist was tqp short and wanted half a button more?the collar was too high, and so on. And in a short time the whole regiment turned out with new clothes."? Youth's Companion. SPECIAL NOTICES /S? Phone us when you want A ? ?'
