Still Improving
That the Kingstree Telephone Co.,
is doing its level best to give its
patrons good service is exemplified
by the installation of a new and additional
switchboard. This new board
is equipped to take care of 105 additional
lines. Two day operators are
now kept on duty all the time. Many
new poles have recently been placed
and a number of the frequently
troublesome lines cleared so that
communication may be had over
them without disturbing half dozen
or so homes at the same time as a
result of crossed or tangled wires.
Many new phones have recently been
installed and a new directory is in
process 01 maxing, wiui impruveu
facilities as a guarantee of better
service we see no reason why the local
company should not extend its
system until every home in town is
put in direct toudi with the doctor,
the preacher, the druggist, the gro- i
cer, the undertaker etc.

Bryan P. 0. Discontinued
There is no longer a post office at
Bryan. The Bryan office was discontinued
on June 1, and the patrons of
the office are being served by rural
carrier on route No. 3. For a long
time the office was known as Taft,
a few years ago its name was changed
to Bryan. Now it is absorbed by
a Salters route. Taft is the railroad
station on the Seaboard Air
T.in?- l ano and Salters the freiirht
and express stations on the Atlantic
Coast Line. No express office is
maintained at Taft, and we are advised
that the freight station is in
the prepay class.

Another Playhouse Broken lrp
Deputy Sheriff Cockfield and other
officers made a raid on the lower
end of the county this week, and in
the Cedar Creek neighborhood, on
the county line road near the Santee
river, 30 miles from Kingstree W.
K. Emanuel, Henry and John Ward
were arrested it is alleged for operating
a distillery, and turning out a
product known as "Monkey" whiskey.
The officers captured and distroyed
one still and five barrels of
mash. Also four gallons of the
"Monkey" brand liquor which they
brought as evidence to Kingstree.
An effort on the part of the operatore
was madp to. and a Brood deal of
the whiskey was distroyed before
the officers could get hold of it. The
parties arrested were turned bverto
the Federal authorities, and will be
called to Charleston to answer the
charge of operating an illicit distillery.
Thus a second "playhouse" has
been broken up within the borders
of Williamsburg during the past
week by the ruthless, merciless hand
of the law.
o
Train Strikes Cow
Northbound train No. 80 struck a
cow near the depot yesterday morning.
The animal belonged to a colored
man and was dragging a block
and chain. In attempting to cross the
track the block became fastened to
the track and the cow could not get
away. The engineer slowed down,
and the cow might have escaped unhurt
had she not become frightened
and rushed at the engine when it
was about to pass her. The cow's
horns were knocked off but she was
not apparently hurt otherwise.

The Kingstree High School closed j
the night of June 2nd, 1919. The;
Commencement exercises were exceptionally
good this year.
On Thursday night the music and
vocal classes gave a concert vjhich
every one enjoyed. Friday night the
Wee Nee Literary Society gave its
public meeting, The readings, essays
etc.. were unusual an*I the pupils
taking part in these deserve much
praise. We were so glad to see so
many boys taking active part in the
society.
Sunday morning the sermon was

was exceptionally good.
Monday night was the night of
the graduating exercises. The gradating
, class was composed of
Misses Serena Lee, Lizzie Gordon.
Margaret Daniel, Dordie McGill,
Messrs. James Sullivan, Hampden
Montgomery, and William Cooper.
The speeches and papers were all
exceptionally good, and of course
the will and prophecy were both interesting.
Rev. Mr. Bull delivered an address
to the class which was noteworthy.
It was indeed a pleasure to have
Mr. Bull here once more. After the
address, Mr. Bull delivered the diplomas?every
member of the class received
a State High School diploma,
that speaks well for our school. The
exercises closed with the class song.
Let us take more interest in our
school, take the advice William Cooper
gave us. Of course when our
school wins we are proud of her, but
let's take more interest in her at all
times and make it possible for her
to always be a winner.
Death of Mrs. T. J. Nelson's Brother
Mrs. Tena Nelson received a message
Sunday from New York informing
her of the death of her brother
Mr. J. H. Balster, which occurred at
Bellvue Hospital that afternoon.
Mr. Balster was about 38 years of
age and a civil engineer by profession.
He was stricken down 3ome
time ago with the flu, from which he
never fully recovered. The deceased
is a native of Anderson, and up to a
few years ago his people in South
Carolina had not heard from him
since the Spanish-American war, in
which he was for a long time believ
ed to nave lost nis uie.
The body of the deceased was taken
to his old home at Anderson for
interment. Mrs. Tena Nelson left
Monday for that city to be present
at the funeral.

the company's local representative.
The King Hardware Co. whose
mnnkev* has not been a feature of
the Record's advertising columns for j
some time has come back with a
special weekly change service that is
interesting and attractive and should
be affective in our big family of
readers.
The Kingstree Drug Co., has taken
on a similar service and its ad.,
like Mr. King's, will be attractive
and educational. Dr. Cates is a live
boy, knows and appreciates a good
thing when he sees it, like other
Record advertisers. This week the
company's ad specializes on baby's
welfare, next week it may be ice
cream, or it may be pills, we cant
tell, and special interest centers in
the question "what are King, and
Cates going to advertise next week". I
