sick man, requiring the services of
a trained nurse both day and night.
The unremitting and indefatigable
' attentions and kindnessess shown
him throughout his illness by all of
the people of the town will never

many volunteers called to tender
their services that all could not get
into the house. One night (they
say) four doctors worked on him
practically all night.

TO DEVELOP WILLIAMSBURG.
Distinguished Visitor Sees Vast
Possibilities before Her.
Mr C A Maull. advertising manager
of the A C L R R Co, delivered
a very interesting and instruc- j
tive address to the citizens and busi- i
ness men of Kingstree Wednesday j
morning on the subject of agricul-j
tural and industrial pursuits in thisl
.
section.
Mr Maull has been engaged in |
managing advertising campaigns for!
the past twenty-five years, a greater
portion of which work has been
in connection with railroad activities,
and he has accumulated a vast ;
fund of information as a result of
travels, which have covered a considerable
portion of the world. 9
His visit to Kingstree was made
upon an invitation extended by Mr
Thomas McCutchen, president of
the Kingstree Board of Trade, the 1
object being to inaugurate a comprehensive
and effective campaign
looking towards the more thorough ,
development of this particular section
of the State. 1
Mr Maull, in the coarse of his remarks,
stated that the conditions (
incident to the profitable application
of agricultural pursuits in this locality
were equal to, if not superior
to, those of any other section of the
country. We have, he states, a soil
that will will grow any kind of farm
produce to be found in America,
with the great advantage of a growing
season of at least ten months.
It is his conviction that careful and
intelligent industry will lengthen
I the growing season to even twelve
months in each year. Why, then,
he asks, do we not take seize upon
this great natural advantage, and
develop our section by diversification,
intensive farming, and more
intelligent effort?
Mr Maull stressed the point that
every farmer should produce upon
his farm everything that is required
for the table. He stated that no
section could hope to acquire indtv
pendence so long as they lived out
of a "tin can." And, he said, neither
can a community hope to become
independent so long as they violate
one of the fundamental principles of
economics as we have heretofore
done, which is, total reliance upon
one crop for our livelihood. Those
who insist upon this method of
I 1 1m tKa fil-iit t(1 Bllffpr

during a period of economic stress,
and will be the last to recover their
normal balance.
Mr Maull referred to many section
of the United States that had
come under his observation, and
toid his hearers what had been accomplished
in these places. In California,
a higher state of cultivation
has been reached than in any other
part of the known world, and these
results have been wrought, not by a
superior quality of soil or other
natural resources, but by hard work,
and intelligent and comprehensive
effort.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks
Mr Maull explained that the ACL
R R Co intended getting out a booklet
to be used in inducing some of
the farmers of the northern sections
of the country to come 1.0 this State.
Ten representative town will be selected
by the company as centers
about which the advantages of the
farm lands will be set forth, and
Kingstree has been given an opportunity
to become one of the ten.
The booklet will consist of about 32
pages, and will cost $1100. The
company will subscribe $200 toward
this fund, and the sections represented
will subscribe the balance.
Mr Maull explained that Kingstree
as a town would not figure in the
advertising, as this scheme was in
tended to develop the country districts
alone, the town receiving its
benefits indirectly. The proposition
appealed to the Board of Trade, and
it was forthwith moved and carried
that steps be taken at once to raise
the necessary funds to include this
section in the advertising-campaign.
Mr Maull.upon invitation,said that
he would be very glad to come to
Kingstree at any time that might
best suit the farmers of this county
to gather here, and discuss with
them methods of increasing the efficiency
of farms, diversification, etc.
It was decided by the Board of
Trade to arrange foi such a gathering
of the farmers and business men
of the county, of which specific action
will be taken in the near future.
Wltb Our Advertisers.
The writer of this has never experienced
greater pleasure in calling
attention of the readers of The Record
to its advertising columns. At
the beginning of the year we suggested
to the business people of
Kingstree and Williamsburg county
to "start the new year right" by
patronizing the home paper?the
only newspaper printed in the county.
They have liberally responded to
thl suggestion and, as we have always
done, we still urge our subscribers
to patronize those who advertise
in our columns, because we
believe they represent the best interests
of the town, the county and
the people whose patronage they
thus solicit.
In this issue we invite your attention
most especially to the page ad
of H D Reddick, with reference to a
special sale being conducted by Jas
D Ray & Co of Raleigh,N C, and the
page ad of Mr N Shuman, who is
also conducting a special sale under
the management of the A G Blotchy
Co of Spartanburg.
Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co, who
need no special reference here, are
carrying a half-page ad in this paper
that will doubtless interest their
numerous friends and all who are
looking for good goods at lowest
prices.
Messrs Davis & Fennell, the shoe
firm, have an attractive ad in this
issue,as has also the King Hardware
Co, a new firm composed of some of
the best known business men in
Kingstree.
The Williamsburg Hardware Co,
one of the old and reliable firms of
the town, also the Kingstree Hardware
Co, are retaining their old
spaces on front page.
If you are ailing, see the Kingstree
Drug Co; they can cure you.
Read their new ad.
To the banks of Kingstree also
we feel grateful for their liberal
patronage and are pleased to have
them as advertising patrons at this
season. In short, there is not an advertiser
in The Record, big or little,
that we do not appreciate, and
promise our best efforts to please at
all times and. so far as possible,
make his or their ad attractive and
remunerative.
