CORRESPONDENTS WANTED The County Record is anxious to have a good live correspondent at every postoffice and settlement in the county to gend in the news. If there an* any who would care to engage in his work we would be glad to have them take up the matter with us, either by mail or personally, so that the necessary arrangements can be made. Marriages, deaths, church and school news, conditions of crops, visitors to and from the neighborhood and such items as are of interest and we wish to publish these matters for the information of our readers. Help us to liven up the paper by sending in the news from your community. / % Rumors of a new hotel, a steam laundry, additional tobacco warehouses. prize houses, a sternary and drying p ant are very gratifying, and would indicate that the progressive spirt is stin alive in Kingstree We sincerely trust that even* one of these proposed interprises will develop into complete success. But even with all this new activity which seems to be alert in our town, there is a fundamental principle of growth and stability which apparently, is being entirely overlooked, and unless this principle is recognized as apramount and acted upon accordingly, Kingstree, so far as real development is concerned, is a finished product right now. We refer to home-building. There is a scarcety of houses for rent which is indeed alarming, mere arc scleral, probably a dozen, instances of recent occurrence where the owner; ship of property has changed hands, titles bought and paid for, yet the purchasers are unable to get possession for the reason that there are no places to which present occupants can move, except into the open street or out of town, and by the way, we know of at least a few who are making arrangements to go to Andrews and elsewhere simply because the houses in which they have lived have been sold, and there are no others to be obtained Unless speedily remedied this condition will spell the death of Kingstree. ' Within the past few months good men have accepted positions in our town and have had to give them up because they could not get accommodations for their families. Our school teachers are being sorely tritd by being obliged to room here and there and take their meals blocks away because of the congestion in the homes of the town. This is, to say the least, a disgrace. The school and its interests, if nothing else, deserves a better deal. We are not complaining of the hospitality of our people, for in this respect a better people cannot be found, but we are pointing to a serious situation, hoping that steps will be taken for its relief. Inquiries are constantly coming in from prospective citizens and the only reply that can be made is of such a nature that it turns them away from Kingstree and to other towns. The town is already overcrowded. Yes, Kingstree's growth has stopped unless the men of means in this community do something to help divert such a calamity. Our Building v and Loan Association, seems to have dropped out of the running, so far a.building homes is concerned, yet the Association is flourishing and capable of supplying a portion of the demand for new homes. No better service could be done than for each ol its members to make a borrow anc build a house, whether for his owr I use or not.
