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.

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!

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. Both parties are verj
popular in Kingstree and the bes:
wishes of a host of friends are ex
