We are proud of our correspondents.
We do not know of any county
newspaper with a more loyal,
faithful corps of contributors than
The Record is favored with,and that

is largely the reason wny me papci

Williamsburg county and wherever
else it circulates.

week two honor rolls from schools
in the county without names signed
thereto. As we have stated once or
twice heretofore, it is contrary to
our rules to publish anonymous
communications of any character
whatsoever. The name will not appear
in print if requested to be 1
withheld, but we must have it on 1
file for our own protection. This
requirement is simple and reason- ]

it? ,

DISPENSARY SCANDAL
AT LAKE CITY.
CHARGED THAT THE DISPENSER
TRANSPOSED LABELS ON
WHISKEY BOTTLES.
There has been much speculation
the past few days as to what will be
the outcome of the local dispensary
muddle which was unearthed here
last week. At first it appeared that
the whole matter was to be completely
aired,but certain forces seem
to have been at work to hush the
matter up and keep down any more
3candfil in the "great moral institution".
From what we can gather, the
facts are these:
In some way,unknown here.it was
r^>orted to the county board that
the whiskey 1 being sold here was far
i>elow the required standard for the
price paid and an investigation was
made. It was found, we are told,
that the whiskey from gallon jugs,
retailing at $2 the gallon, was being
Pottled here and sold at fifty cents
the pint, making a total of $4 per
gallon. The county was getting its
two dollars the gallon and the extra
two dollars was being taken out.
The dispenser here is M M Rogers
and his assistant is M E King.
At first, it appears, there was a
disposition to lay the blame upon
King, but it is stated that he soon
cleared himself by demanding a
statement from Rogers as to his innocence.
He secured this statement
in the presence of three witnesses.
At that time King threatened to expose
the whole business in order to
clear himself, but since that time, it
is evident, there has been an effort
to stop the matter. Rogers has announced
that he will resign.
It is rumored that if a complete I
investigation were made, some sur- j
prising disclosures would be made!
involving some men "higher up",
and the general opinion is that King
knows too much and must be kept
quiet.
We believe that bottling liquor in
a bottle bearing a label of a different
brand is a violation of the pure |
food and drug act.?LalceCitv New.
Death oi Mrs P L Howie.
News of the death of Mrs P LaVerne
Howie, at the home of her
husband near Darlington Thurs-1
day afternoon of last week, came as
a shock to the many friends of her
brother, Mr L H Cromer, Jr. of
The Record force.
Mrs Howie was in her 29th year
and was a most estimable young
lady. On Thursday morning. No- J
vember 19, her clothing caught fire
and she was painfully burned, but
her injuries were not, at the time,
thought to be serious. Mr Cromer
was with her from Sunday of last
week until Wednesday afternoon,
when he left her apparently in good
spirits and returned to Kingstree.
Thursday he received word that her
condition was much worse and returned
there that evening, but did
not reach her bedside until death
had relieved her sufferings.
Mrs Howie was a daughter of Mr
and Mrs L H Cromer of Clinton and
a cousin of Miss Laura Cromer, of
the Kingstree High school faculty.
* i ir T% T
She was married to jvir r u auwic
in 1911. She is survived by her
husband and two bright baby boys,
one years and the other 15
months of age.
Negro Man Killed Near Trio.
Burrell Kelley, white, and Memmon
Guess, a mulatto and an accomplice
of Kelley,are wanted by Sheriff
Graham for the murder of WMlie
Singletary, another mulatto, at a
camp of the Mallard Lumber Co,
near Trio, Monday night.
It seems from the evidence adduced
at the Coroner's inquest that
Kelley and Guess were in camp
cooking their supper,and Singletary
came up and stood around the pots
in which the meal was being prepared;
Kelley ordered Singletary to I
stand back and repeated the orr'er
several times before Singletiry paid
any attention. Kelley then struck him
on the forehead with a blunt instrument,
fracturing the skull just

abr,ve the right eye. Guess, it seems,
urged Kelley on,and after Singletary
was down, told Kelley to kill him.
Sjqgletary lived about twenty-four
[ hours after receiving the blow and
was attended by Dr C D Jacobs.
Kelley and Guess are residents of
Greelyville, but at present are fugitives
from the law.
Coroner H U Kinder and jury
held an inquest yesterda> and decided
that Singletary came to his
death at the hands of Burrell Kelley
and that Memmon Guess was an accessory.
Miss Louise Plowden, who teaches
at Lanes, spent the Thanksgiving
holidays with the family cf her father,
Mr M H Plowden.
