(Received too late for last week's issue). White Oak, December 15:?Mrs H J McKenzie and sister. Miss Allie Frierson of Lake City, were pleasant visitors at ;he home of their sister, Mrs G W Ward, last week. Messrs M M Cox and Joel E Ross were business visitors to Kingstree Thursday of last week. Messrs H W Brown, W M and J P Christmas had business in Kingstree Friday. Farmers in this section are about to get through gathering their crops IMW Wrapping Soma Tape around a punctured tire is all right if the tape is all right Ours is, because it has been proven so time and again.

Hamer-Thompson Co. for this year ana are pianung oaia, repairing and building houses and getting in shape for another crop, which will very likely not consist of so much "King Cotton." The Olanta scribe, "Little Bud," must be living in the land of plenty. The only things he has yet to mention to make some of us believe that his vicinity is the "Land of Canaan" is the flow of milk and honey, and we venture to say if he keeps on boasting about his cane syrup, large potatoes, and nice supply of pork, that he is likely to have some company soon. If he is very anxious to take unto himself a wife, as he recently intimated, and is unable to find a fair lady in his locality, we would advise him to transfer his campaign to White Oak. Messrs A P Buffkin and W D and A R Eaddy are assisting contractor R 0 Thompson in the erection of a handsome residence for Mr W R Graham in the Indiantown section.

Jt \.as during the South African war that De Wet, the Boer leader, first came into prominence, although it should not be forgotten thfPt in the first Boer war in ]381 he fought at Ingogo and Majuba, and subsequently sat in the Transvaal parliament. His guerrilla tactics during tl* South African war were responsible for many Boer successes, and it was a British general who said of him: ''He appears always where he is thought not to he." One of the best stories of De Wet is that told concerning three Yeomanry officers who were captured by n/iar T itl.llov ITo tfllfl tllPIfl Ill 1X1 lit. U X liliiuivj t ^.'V ff V w vv?v> . that he had an important dispatch for General Bundle, and if they would undertake to deliver it they would be liberated. All three gave their word of honor to deliver the letter into General Bundle's own hands. They duly performed their mission, and got much laughed at for their pains. " The letter ran as follows: "Dear Sir?Please chain up these three men, as I can catch them every day.?Yours, De Wet." TAKES PORTRAITS IN COLORS New Process Which Its Inventors B? lieve Will Secure the Desired Results. A new process is now announced which it is claimed gives remarkably perfect results, and is simple ehough for practical commercial purposes, although not suited for amateur work. This process i& stated to Ka ? mndifiration of the Ives three color process, except that only two colors are used, red and green. Two negatives are taken in a special camera, or in a regular camera using color screens. These negatives are so treated with dyes that the coloring matter replaces the silver in the film, and the plate becomes its own positive. The two plates are superimposed, and mountod in a frame so constructed that an electric light may be placed behind the picture, which is to be viewed by transmitted light.?Scientific American. FURTHER USE FOR~X-RAYS. It has been discovered that in addition to the well-known uses of X-rays in the medical world, both for photographic purposes and for the treatment of certain complaints, other fields of application may be found in botany and biology. Photographs can be obtained showing the various stages in the development of plants or animals. Thus it is possible to observe the gradual formation of a chicken inside the egg. It is interesting to note that while diamonds are practically transparent to the ravs, counterfeit stones are almost ODsuiue. 1 1 EMULATION. "Wfat a beautiful ring!" "Yes," said Miss Cayenne. It w?? an engagement ring. But the engagement is broken." "Aren't you going to send it back?" "Of course. But I want to keep it long enough to let the next gentleman see what he is expected to lire up to." A BETTER WORD. "This is a dignified way to put it." "How's that?" "This general says he didn't retreat. When th? firing got too hot he withdrew." NATURAL RESULT. "Mayme blushed when she found I was trying to read her face." "Well, people usually do blush when their faces are getting read." ITS IDENTIFICATION. "The evil ^tar of our race must be in the ascendant" "Then the star in the case must be Sirius." CLEAN SWEEP. "Somebody stole three sets of harness out of my stable." "Did the thief leave any traces?" "No; he took traces'and all." SCRATCH AFFAIRS. "How is it you make no mention of the battle of Pooboosk ?" "Why, that was merely a skirmish. Only 200,000 men involved." 31 "W- J - ,.rj, *1 . ? ' " . V-*" THE NEWS IN BRIEF FROM BENSON. A SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT? PROSPECTIVE MARRIAGELOCAL AND PERSONAL. (Received too late for last week's issue). Benson, December 15:?Whenever occasion arises that a little extra money is needed to make a school-room more comfortable or to adorn the walls with portraits of men of renown or paintings by famnno ortietc thpn if is that the energetic teacher conceives of a plan to produce the wherewithal for that purpose. Miss Ruth Phillips, who teaches ?.ne Zeb school, invited her friends to a box party Friday evening, asking each young lady to furnish a small package, a shoe box, collar box or anything that would contain just enough edibles for only two, a young lady and gentleman, of course. The young ladv arranges the box at ber home and then writes her name legibly on a strip of paper and carefully conceals it under the artistic wrapping of tissue paper. The boxes are then placed cn a table and - u purchased by the men, usualfy at fifty cents each, the purchaser not * being aware of the identity of the fair one who is to eat with him until he beholds the name enclosed. The entertainment was well planned and furnished most enjoyable amusement besides a delightful supper, and thirty dollars was raised for the benefit of Zeb school. Miss Jimmie Britton, the amiable and accomplished daughter of Mr and Mrs H 0 Britton of Kingstree, visited her friend. Miss Pauline Watson, who is teaching here, Sat- .1 urday and Sunday. As "coming events cast their shadows before" the chiming of marriage bells may be heard at a distance sufficiently near to catch the date, January 6, 1915, the "tieup" to take place at the local Methodist church at four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr Abner Brown, who has been enlisted in the navy for a good many years, is at home on furlough visiting his mother and other relatives. The characters interested in the play announced in last week's Record to take place at Indiantown school are anticipating a large attendance and a good time. Messrs T Armstrong McCrea and John Cunningham have just vreturned from a big deer drive at Carvers' Bav, Georgetown county. Mr McCrea reports five deer killed by the party and a grand time they had camping. Sheriff Graham was in the crowd and it goes without saying his genial presence would afford merriment to their stay in camp. WES. Bullkln-Johnson. Cades, December 17:?Wednesday afternoon, the lfith inst, the home of Mr and Mrs B L Buffkin was the scene of a beautiful marriage, thecontracting parties being theirdaughter, Miss Mabel Buffkin, and^ Mr H S B Johnson, son of the late Mr H B Johnson, of Cades vicinity.. Only a few of their immediate relatives were present. The parlor had been previously decorated very beau tifully and appropriately for the occasion. The bride entered, accompanied by the groom and passed to the center of the circle of friends,where they were met by Rev L E Peeler of Cades,who performed the ceremony. The bride was handsomely gowned in white satin, which blended with the usual fairness of her complexion ?one of her many charms. The groom was attired in the conventional black. After the happy couple had received the congratulations of the guests, all were invited into the dining room, where the table fairly groaned under its load. The writer saw no dyspeptics there, judging from the way they enjoyed the feast. J W. How To Give Quinine To Children. FEBRILINE is the trade-mark name given to an improved Quinine.
