MILLINERY OPENINGS IN KIN6STREE. u rk BEAUTIFUL DISPLAYS ATTRACT ie LARGE AND ADMIRING NUMBERS OF PURCHASERS. rjr Tuesday The Record man made his r little semi-annual inspection trip. / He selected a time of the day when he thought he could do the job most advantageously?that is, while the *" ladies were at home taking an after" noon siesta and resting up from the ' iaugue causea Dy ineir lour 01 in" spection, which began early in the morning. s When we went into the three big r department stores to look over, try d on, take off and fondle the pretty J, velvet things, there were no ladies present to hear us express an opinion, criticise our views upon the various shapes or turn up their noses because of our bad taste in making a selection for our "other half". This semi-annual inspection trip " always causes us more than a little k embarrassment, because, in the first \ place, we know so little about the n things we go in to inspect, and what i- we think catchy or fascinating most i. anyone else would call hideous. r Then, again, when we go to our desk ? to write about the things we have 0 inspected, to tell a plain, simple, ^ truthful story about them, we are e seized by an inevitable fear of offending some good friend because we did not say enough in praise of B the "little milliner's" artistic display * or the merits of her goods. f We love peace,though we did fight the Spaniards at Santiago, and if there is any possible way of keeping y in the good graces of these little la dies who come here season after season to deck out our wives and f daughters with the latest and best t things in headgear,we mean to do it. Early in the afternoon we started > on our little fall tour of inspection .. by dropping into the popular store of the Kingstree Dry Goods Co, where Miss Frances Johnson had . prepared and well arranged on the ? balcony a festival of pretty things for the ladies of Kingstree and sur- j rounding country. Her department J 1 wa3 attractively decorated with 1 ferns and pot plants,while a victrola in a cosy corner rendered musical ^ selections which lent a charm and sweetness to the occasion. Misses - Retha Burgess and Hattie Bagnell, - salesladies, greeted their friends and i patrons on the main floor and in t their usual polite and gracious mand ner entertained them by showing > ! ram onrt Koantiflll 1 inPS nf firpss . j Roods, neckwear and such other ac)} cessories as are required to put the 'average lady "in style" for the sea^ son. , At Mr Marcus' store we, as usual, found a handsome display of the j celebrated Gage Bros hats in shapes: , and sizes ranging from the close-fitting turban to the wide-brimmed sailor or "Berne", "Tarns" and sports hats of the "Molly 0" type. j The ornaments characteristic of the prevailing fall styles are attractively shown on the Gage hats to be gold and silver and cabochons of velvet or plush which usually harmonize in " color with the material of the hat. * The hats seen at Mr Marcus' store, e as those shown by the other millin' ers, are made up of hatter's plush, 8 felt or velvet,the last-named material predominating in black. Mrs t Marcus is doing her own millinery ' I work this season, and if our judge ment serves us aright, she is an adt ept in the art. s At Silverman's store our eves d again feasted on similar oddities s in women's headgear to those "ina snected" at the other stores. We 1 were convinced that the same styles g are prevalent the world oyer, for d here the same creations in velvet, s plush and felt were the leaders. Miss Bethea, the milliner in charge, had her display attractively arranged, while the ornamental touches given in the way of trimming to !? many of the shapes were expressive 0 of excellent taste and skill. Misses e Goldstein and Sullivan, Mr Silverg man's salesladies, had a nice line of dress goods, ladies' tready-to-wear | garments, etc, to show visitors to the is store. t Now, as to our own views about n the season's hat styles for the gentler sex, we hope we are not alone in thp nnininn that thev aDDear to be the most sensible and seasonable 1- we have seen in years. Further, we believe that, no matter how ugly the "shape" or "form" may be, there is some sweet-faced, mild-mannered ,c little woman who can transform it into a thing of beauty by merely putting it on her head. Likewise we think that the line of coat suits carried by the above s named dealers is simple and prettier than for several seasons past,and we ' are satisfied that the prices charged '* for them by these home dealers are ^ less than they can be bought for in " larger towns or cities.

The ginnery and saw mill of Mr A M Gordon & Son at Gourdins, along with forty-four bales of cot,! ton and thirty tons of seed, were almost totally destroyed by fire eariv Monday morning, entailing a loss of S10 000 with onlv SI.500 insurance. Mr Gordon & Son are among the largest farmers in the Gourdins section and have operated a ginnery i for number of years, but the plant i just destroyed was practically new, ! this being its second season in operation. The thirty tons of seed and | all of the cotton with the exception of a few bales belonged to the Messrs Gordon and their loss is; ; heavy, as only a portion of the seed , was saved.
