Several letters to Santa Claus were received from Cades last week too late for publication. We trust, lowever, that old Santa Claus was dnd to the little ones and made their aearts glad by giving them just what they had asked for in their letters. We acknowledge with much appreciation a handsomely embossed and ?ngraved card of Christmas and New Year greetings from the Farmers & Merchants National Bank of Lake City, which has been one of The Record's valued patrons for a number of years. The first of thelyceum attractions for this season was given by theDorva DeLeon company at the school auditorium Monday night and was a genuine musical and literary feast. If this is an augury of the future numbers, this course deserves the patronage of all. Mr S W Montgomery, a life-long In response to the call puonsnea in The Record last week for a mass meeting of taxpayers of Kingstree district, a small number of them assembled at the court house Tuesday night. The object of the meeting being stated, those present were unanimously in favor of ordering a special election and voting an additional tax levy of four mills in the district to be applied to the Kingstree High and Graded school. The result of this meeting was as it should be. It has been clearly set forth in The Record's columns that more money was needed to run the school and meet its obligations from year to year outside of actual running expenses. We are extremely gratified to note the liberal attitude shown by the gentlemen who were present at the meeting Tuesday night and we hope to see the spirit of it carried out without delay: that the election may be held as soon as practicable and the additional 4 mill levy favorably voted upon. resident or YViinamsDurg, in me Greelvville section, has recently moved to Clarendon,in the New Zion i neighborhood. Mr Montgomery was in Kingstree last Friday and had us change the address of his paper on Dur mailing list to his new home. The assistant Postmaster General j has recently issued an order requiring shippers to mark perishable articles to be sent through the parcel post, "perishable," and those easily broken must be marked "fragile." This order should be strictly observ?d by patrons of the service who 3end perishable or fragile articles through the mails. Mr and Mrs M E Swails of Florence, parents of Messrs A C and L F Swails of Kingstree, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Sunday. Married in 1865, they have lived at their present home site for 48 years. Because of the recent illness of Mr and Mrs Swails, the occasion was purely informal. Among those present were Mr and Mrs A C Swails and children of Kingstree,Mr W Jas Swails of Wilmington, N C, Mrs Mary Eubanks of Hot Springs, Fla, a sister of Mrs Swails, and Mrs Bettie Howard, who was a bridesmaid at the wedding. We acknowledge with thanks the ? - - % J _ I gift of a can or nencious nome-maae 3yrup from Charles W Stoll, Esq. The product of his Flat Branch ranch is of very fine quality. Mr Stoll informs us that he has made in the neighborhood of 500 gallons of this syrup, which he had put up in hermetically sealed gallon and halfgallon cans. We don't see why this kind of syrup should not be preferable for table use to the commercial concoctions of less food value and containing chemical properties thai detract from their wholesomeness. MASS MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT. Ktngstree Taxpayers and Trustees Discuss School Matters. | WATSON-McGILL. Popular School Teacher Marries Well Known Farmer. Miss Pauline Watson, the populai and e/Scient principal of the Bensor I High School, and Mr J Y McGil were married here Thursday eveninj [ of last week at 8 o'clock at the Presbyterian manse by Rev P S Mc Chesney. The bride was becoming ly attired in a suit of chiffon broad cloth with accessories to match. Hei only ornaments were a pearl set rinj and a pearl necklace, gifts of the groom. She never appeared more charming than while taking the solemn marriage vows. The bride has been the successful principal of the Benson High School for severa years and her services in that community are highly appreciated bj those who know her and who have been patrons of the school. Mr Mc Gill is wpll known throughout this section of the State as a successful business man and planter, being one of the most extensive farmers in the Benson, or Cedar Swamp, section After a short sojourn at Latta, the home of the bride, they will make an extended tour through Florida and other Southern States, then return to Benson, where they will make their home in the future. Christmas at Klngstree. As is not unusual the occasion passed off quietly, the day appearing very much like a Sunday. AH business houses were closed and professional offices vacated during the day. The noise of fireworks wai conspicuous by its absence and the little ones here who usually enjoy the excitement of putting off fireworks above all other features incident tc the great holiday seemed to content themselves with a goodly supply of toys, and plenty or good tnmgs tc eat. The first part of the day was fair and pleasant but before noon e strong South wind developed anc towards evening rain set in and the temperature dropped several degrees. A number of men enjoyed the day or a portion of it in fields with dos and gun, while others remained al i home and partook of the inestimable pleasures of the fireside circle made complete by the presence of sister, brother, daughter or son who was there to spend the happy season. In short, we might say, it was a most delightful occasion to all. Old County Records. Last week our good and esteemed friend, Dr W L Wallace, left with us two old copies of The County Record. One of them boh? date March 9, 1892, and the riame oi R C Logan, editor and proprietor. The other was dated July 13, 1899, and the name of C W Wolfe appeared as editor and proprietor. Both papers might be termed "recent issues" as compared with those belonging to the files of the average newspaper that has been able tc weather the storms and withstand the vicissitudes of adversity for any great length of time, but it is seldom you will find among the subscribers of a paper such old and well preserved copies as those in the posses! -- -- TLait ore SIUU Ol UUI (5UUU tllCUU. XIICJ UIv. usually read and destroyed. We dc not consider that either of them is | to be compared, in general appearance, with later volumes of The Record. At the time these papers were printed The Record office was not fitted up with the modern machinery and equipment that it now has, and one-half of the paper ir those years, carried what is knowc as a "patent outside." Each one is a 4-page, 8-column sheet, and none of the type used in the home printed pages remains in The Record office. The old hand press upor which the papers were printed has long since been, probably, relegated to some scrap pile, and there is nothing in appearance by which one would identify them with the pres ent paper. Swann* Hutson. Miss Eula Swann, the charminp young daughter of Mrs M F Swann was married at the latter's home here at 8 o'clock Tuesday night te Mr Percy Hutson, a member of the mercantile firm of Britton & Hutson The bride has been attending Columbia University at New York anc returned home last week for the holidays. The wedding was a verj quiet affair and only a few close friends and immediate relatives knew that it was to take place. The cremony was performed by the Re> D A Phillips.
