' ??????? 4'In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still; In men whom MEN pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. JAN. 7. 1915. \\ e publish in this issue the letter of our valued friend, Mr W W py?^ * Johnson, of Johnsonville, because it hits the nail square on the head when he says that "times are too dull to let The County Record stop coming.'' In so-considered dull times the demand for news is more desired than usual. When there is p- news from every one to l>e had on the street cornel's, when volunteer news-gatherers literally button-hole you to tell you the "latest,'' the commodity seems almost a drug on the market; but in these perilous times, when "news'- is really scarce ?^. and high-priced, like other necessaries of life, it cost more time, labor and money to gather it and get it in readable form. Therefore, we think as our friend very aptly says, that if one cannot afford to do without the paper when news is plentiful, lie surely can ill afford to do so when news is scarce. So let the pa per come 011 is good policy. ? ' BOARD OF TRADE REPLIES To Recent Communication of Mr. W. K. Mcintosh. Editor County Record:? Please permit us through your valuable paper to reply to the tirade of W K Mcintosh on the action of the Board of Trade of Kingstree in asking the warehousemen of the town to furnish all the tobacco seed this season to the tobacco growers. This action of our board was carefully considered, and in view of the fact that we have for several years It spent our money liberally in both w seed and advertising, we thought it advisable this time to push our town ? more specifically as a market, with yigorous advertisement, at the same time encouraging our warehousei men in doing what they should 'v rightfully, justly and willingly do in furnishing seed to the growers. Who is this Mr Mcintosh, and from whence does he come, that he f should dictate to the Board of Trade r... of Kingstree? He is certainly not one of our business men, because our business men belong to the Board of Trade and the proprietors of the Nelson Warehouse do not appear on our book of membership. We believe there was some little request from this same source in your valuable paper some weeks ago ask ing that the board be called to- j K: gether that he might express him-1 We do not object to his finding i I out that the board really met, but if j he desires to work up some notom riety for the Nelson Warehouse by airing his arrogant views of criti^B^^-cism on the action of the Board of Trade, we object to this and can I: didly we will not stand for it. We do not dictate to the tobacco grower how he shall get his seed, because the Board of Trade does not come in direct touch with him, but we feel his interest and have said to the warehousemen of our town, you should furnish these seed to the grower, because this is the custom. If the Nelson Warehouse had not furnished any seed during the past years, the tobacco growers would not have known the difference and would have gotten their seed just the same and pejhaps our market would have been better?larger and stronger today and perhaps these howls would be heard in some more distant clime where great big mouths and long tongues would be less annoying. \X7hQ\7 1 fit' INtMSUIl VV ai Cliuusc aumuo hut ing controlled the market for three years and it is plainly seen and known that they are inclined to continue doing so, but they can't fool all the people all the time. If they can't stand the expense of a few pounds of seed along with other warehouses that are now giving out all the free seed the tobacco growers need, then let them get out of the business and give place to men who talk less and do more. We have the data showing what the town has spent on the advertisement of our tobacco market, and there is a skeleton in the closet showing what others have done against the market in their own interest. A hint to the wise is sufficient. We understand that the town of Hemingway has done well and the credit belongs to men who have more brains than mouth. Hemingway is indeed fortunate in having no donkey in her team that pulls for her business. It is the purpose of the Board of Trade of Kingstree to make our tobacco market the best in the State this season, and with exception of the braying of a few donkeys we think we shall find no real hindrance in doinsr so. Kingstree Board of Trade, By Thos McCutcben, Pres. W F Tolley, Sec'ty. Kingstree, S C, January 5, 1915. DUIKG THEIR DUTY. Scores of Kingstree Readers are Learn ing the Duty of the Kindneys.

He was very dull but plodded along, stolidly obeying orders. The third day Farmer Jones said: "I want you to clean up the pigsty and all the other houses of the stock." The man disappeared and after a long time returned with badly swollen face and hands. Said he: "I'm going to quit." "What's the trouble" asked the farmer. "I don't know," replied the victim, "but it started when I tried to clean up the beehive." The Gist of It. "Last December I had a very severe cold and was nearly down sick in bed.
