at Kingstree High and Graded school
April 15-16. The high school declamation
contest will be held Thursday
night, 15th prox, and the oratorical

day. They will probably be the best
ever seen and heard here.
The State Board of Health has
(designated Saturday, April 10, as
"Clean-up" day throughout the
State. Every city, town, hamlet

the nests and breeding places of
germs, flies and mosquitoes. What

The Andrews baseball team played
the Kingstree team here last Sat- 1
urday afternoon. The local team
was not in practice and made a
poor showing from start to finish,
losing the game by a score of 14 to
6. Our boys can play ball, but it
requires practice to be successful
and we hope they will get together
and do a little team work.
And still they come! News letter
signed, "A Friend"?only that and
nothing more. No name or local
habitation.,Now,if we just knew the
name of t^i friend and where he or
she lives, we should be glad to publish
what news there is in the letter.
Rut. as there are several postoffices
where The Record circulates and we
hope and believe we have more than
one friend,the puzzle of the writer's
identity is quite beyond our power
of solution.
At the election held in Johnsonville
school district Tuesday of last

a similar election was held Tuesday i
8".d the vote cast was 55 to 29 in j
favor of a bond issue. These bonds
will be readily sold, and the trustees |
of these schools hope to have their j
new buildings ready for the opening j
of school next September.

Mafor Askins' Severe Loss.
We sympathize deeply with our
:>ld friend, Major S M Askins of
Lake City, in the loss of his store
and its contents by fire Monday.
Many's the time in by-gone days,
svhen we were younger and felt
better, we have spent several hours
pleasantly "between trains," in that
same building, being entertained by
our genial, hospitable host. Major
Askins is a polished gentleman; a
guest or even a stranger within his
gates is treated not with a perfunctory
politeness, but with the attention
and courtesy one extends to a
friend.
BOOSTER FESTIVAL
To Start Id Thomas Opera House,
Kiogstree, April 12 tor Three Days.
One of the greatest attractions
that has ever visited Kingstrae will
be the Chautauqua or Booster festival,
which opens here April 12 for
three days,under the auspices of the
Kingstree Board of Trade. The committee
of business men of the town
contracted some time ago with the
Radcliffe Attractions Co, Inc. of
Washington, D C, for this entertainment.
These people will give a highly
entertaining programme each afternoon
and evening,changing daily.
In addition to this, an effort is being
made to have Governor Manning,
Commissioner of Agriculture E J
Watson and Mr C A Maull, advertising
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line
railway, deliver an address in the
forenoon of each day. Other local
features will be embraced in the
programme.
Season tickets, which admit to 14
attractions, are now on sale at $1.50
for adults and $1.00 for children and

An Old Negro's Throat Cat.
An old negro man named Morgan
Fulton, living with his son in the little
house just back of the offices of
Messrs Kelley & Hinds, was discovered
early yesterday morning with
his throat badly cut. It is not known
how the cutting was done, although
several theories have been adyanced.
The old man says he does not know
how it happened. Drs Wallace and
Hemingway are attending him and
report his condition as serious.
Chief of Police Epps and Sheriff
Graham believe that foul play has
been committed and one negro woman
has already been locked up to
await further 'nvestigation. Sheriff
Graham and Coroner Kinder are
still busy on the case and late yesterday
the latter had Alex Owens
locked up on suspicion, as he was a
frequent visitor at the Fulton home
to see the old negro'9 stepdaughter,
who is also in jail under suspicion in
connection with the cutting. Other
arrests are likely to follow.
Later?Fulton died this afternoon
of his wound. We are informed that
a confession has been made as to the
cutting,and a razor was turned over
to Sheriff Graham with the confession.

Spring Millinery Openings. I
Tuesday and yesterday were days
of vast importance to the ladies of
Ki.igstree and vicinity. The spring
miliinery openings were held at the
stores of the Kingstree Dry Goods
('o and Mr S Marcus, and it was the
time tor selecting a new hat. Every
woman glories in a new hat, and
judging from what we saw in these
stores Tuesday, not a few of the
m. .n'oers of the fair sex are now
at ease in the sweet satisfaction of j
having secured their Easter bonnets,
j Besides the large number of town
ladies attending these openings, a
good many were noted from the
surrounding country, and it seemed
! to us that unusual interest was manifested
in the pretty, stylish little
"top pieces."
Miss Mabel Ridenour.atthe Kings'
tree Dry Goods Go's store, had ar- i
ranged a veritable beauty show of
j hats for her friends and customers
to gaze upon, while Miss Retha Bur- (
igess had vied with her in arranging
1 a display of fascinating dress goods
and trimmings.
The style of hats this season is
still smaller than that of a year ago, i
and the little "Tipperary," like the
song, is making a great hit. Then
there is the little poke, a return to
the style that prevailed in the early i
part of the nineteenth century.
As is her usual custom, Mrs Marcus
displayed a beautiful line of "
stylish hats and dainty dress goods, .
which attracted a large crowd of ladies
throughout the opening days.
In dress goods a more beautiful1
line of crepes, plain.printed and em-'
broidered voiles, embroidered seed 1
and dash cloths has never been dis-1
played in Kingstree than those now i
on sale. The display of shadow laces i
is also very attractive.
With Our Advertisers,

Spelling Match.
Much interest was manifested in
the spelling match held at the
Thomas opera house last Friday
; night under the auspices of the Civic
league. Messrs W T Wilkins and P ;
N Becton were the captains and;
each selected a class of eight. Mr
Wilkins won the booby prize, and j
1 justly so, because he did not spell a i
| word right. M A Shuler, Esq, and i
Miss Julia Cork, both in Mr Becton's
class, were the last two on the floor j
and when the word "bandana" was!
given ou Miss Cork spelled it "ban-1
danna." Mr Shuler spelled the word j
correct!* and won the prize?a box
of candy?which he gracefully presented
to Miss Cork.
