THE COUNTY RECORD.
Tail v a. 1Q1 7 .
There is a big advertisement on
the third page of this paper by the
Kingstree Booster Club which carries
a most important message to the
farmers of Williamsburg County.
Every farmer should read it and
think over it with a seriousness and
consciousness that will peamit of no
petty animosity or jealousy entering
into his or her final conclusions in the
matter of where to sell your tobacco.
Don't overlook the list of tobacco
buyers who have been assigned to
the Kingstree market by the companies
opposite their names. We are
pleased to note that among them
there are some ol the very Desi men
in the business; men who are topnotchers
and enjoy to the fullest the
confidence and esteem of the firms
they represent, and the patrons of
markets where they have been
previously engaged. Mr J S Jenkins
of South Boston, a pioneer
buyer in Kingstree. will be here
again, and several others well known
topatroDs of thelocal market. Among
the new buyers we note the name of
Mr Geo A Davis of Durham, who
comes here with a "rep" that most
anyone would envy?"the best man
in the employ of Liggett & Myers."
Then there is Mr Skinner, who succeeds
Mr Henry Wood as buyer for
the Export Co. He is a top-notcher,
and The Record feels that the patrons
of the Kingstree market should
feel especially fortunate in having
such a spiendid list of buyers here
this season.

CEDAR SWAMP LETTER.
Refreshing Rain-Crop Prospects GoodTo
Improve Cattle Industry.
Cedar Swamp. July 2:?This afternoon
a most delightful drizzle refreshed
the growing plants, leaving
the soil soft and completely saturated,
much more advantageous than a
heavy packing rain would have been,
especially if attended by a gale.
The prospect for a harvest of fine
tobacco and an abundant corn crop
in this section is most promising at
the present writing. Cotton is rather 1
small for this time of the year, with
a few yellow leaves at the bottom of 1
the plant. Nevertheless there is ample
time for a decided improvement
if it is properly cultivated and cleared
of grass.
A goodly number of the men of <
this section who have been interested
in stock raising met last week and
discussed the advisability of installing
a neighborhood dipping vat. In
a few weeks it will be ready for use
and we hope this will sound the '
death knell of the Texas fever tick.
Cattle and sheep raising in this sec- 1
tion has been one of the important
industries for many years past With I
federal government aid, when the '
the fever tick shall have been eradicated,when
new and improved blood
shall be infused, then this industry
will be more earnestly looked after.

in one pen,numbering from three to
four hundred head, that the owners
may come and mark the calves and
observe the number that they may
wish to sell during the beef season.
Mr H A Miller of Kingstree has been
a regular buyer from this place.
Our people have made another
progressive step far in excess of the
monetary value of any industrial
enterprise. We h$ve awakened from
our lethargy, as it were, and almost
unanimously signed a petition asking
for an election to vote for an additional
levy of four mills on our present
school tax. The result will be
noted later, but suffice it to say our
people are too proud of their ancestral
bravery to be termed slackers in
this war against ignorance,and when
their attention is turned towards

There have been many and varied
stories of mad dogs and their activities
throughout this section for several
days. It has been reported
that a good many people were bitten
by them; and it seems to l>e
established that in some instances,
at least, the dogs really had rabies.
The victims have received treatment,
and so far the treatment appears to
be successful.

the regulations say, "even if
the particular industrial enterprise
or particular agricultural enterprise
is found necessary for one of the
above purposes, that the continuance
of such person therein is necessary
to the maintenance thereof and that
he cannot be replaced by another
person without direct, substantial,
material loss and detriment to the
adequate and effective operation of
the particular industrial enterprise
or agricultural enterprise in which
he is engaged."
Later the President may from

each board, however, to ascertain
the available labor supply for su ch

service and to take the result into consideration
in determining such things.
"If, in the opinion of the district
