' a OUR TOBACCO MARKET. c t Everything is in readiness for the * opening of the Kingstree tobacco mar- a * * ?* Tnao/Joi? wVlon tVlP local 0 SCI licit Jl UCOUHJ ) warehousemen will get together and toss pennies for the "first break." s Then the rythmic cry of the auction- a eer will be heard again throught the 11 three big warehouses as he is, day af- * ter day, followed by a sweltering pack 1 of buyers tearing at the piles of brown t and golden leaves in a wolf-like man- s ner until the "prey" is "devoured" by 1 the highest bidder. The crowd of I buyers will be augmented, as it fol- e lows the auctioneer from pile to pile, : by the owners, anxious to hear what * "his pile" has brought. In the surging crowd will be a sweat-stained bunch of warehousemen urging the 1 buyers and boosting every pile of to- I bacco so that their patrons may re- I ceive the highest possible amount of 1 money for the weed he has placed t upon their floor. j t We have always believed Kingstree I 1 . to be the best market in the State. J ? This is perhaps largely due to our in- J * timate knowledge of the people here ' and our close relationship to the town i itself, rhere are no better people < under the shining sun than are to be < found here, and it is of this class that ' the Kingstree market is made up. ] These naturally look for men of their < own stripe to come in during the sales 1 y season to buy and assist in the general work of disposing of the crop. ' The Record is not prejudiced against the smaller markets in the County, for they are made up of and main- ] tained by people of the same good 1 red blood, who will see to it that < every farmer who patronizes their 1 market will be given a square deal. 1 When the last pile has been sold this j season, we hope to hear even more glowing reports from Greelyville, i Johnsonville, and Hemingway than < was their good fortune to redeive in prev'ous years. \ < It is gratifying to know that the ' local Red Cross has been reorganized, , V and new life infused into it by the j election of new officers and committees, who are to have charge of the various welfare departments maintained by this most excellent society. ' For some time past it appeared as if there was no longer a Red Cross organization in our midst. True, perhaps, the need of it has not been pressing since the flu epidemic subaided, but it is a mighty fine thing to have organized and ready for service should a need for it suddenly arise. It is not merely a war time necessity, but a peace time essential as well. In no uncertain terms. The County Record last week gave expression of opinion on those who would obstruct the education of children in the pub1 ~ ~Kw Aniv^amct 1IC SCQOOIS UX UJC WUUbJT UJ vyyw??^ or fighting against the assessment of an additional levy to meet and finance * the increased costs now being experienced in every line of business or undertaking. In part The County Record said: 14A gentleman, who is a member of the board of trustees in one of the school districts, came to us on the street recently and requested some information on the holding of an election for the levying of additional mills for school purposes. We were glad to give the information so far as our knowe ledge of the law governing such matters would permit This trustee told us that he and others in his district wanted to hold an election, but that there were 'a lot of, old bachelors' in his district who were bitterly opposed to an additional school tax levy, and that they were fighting every effort to win such a measure at an election by advising freeholders, tenants with children on their places, that the district did not need more money; that one teacher was enough for the school; that one hundred dollars a month for a teacher was too much; that there was no need of a seven months term; etc." It now develops that the complaint is without foundation of fact. The story as related to us by trustees was taken to be authentic and well-founded, and, feeling it a duty which devolves upon any and every newspaper in its community, The Record took the matter up, not to cnasuse any particular individual or set, but for the good of the school and the community concerned. As a matter of fact, we did not know or enquire the name of a single person in the school iistrict, nor was the name of any ohe fiven us. The Record simply said ivhat it did in the interest of schools n general in the County. But resilents of the district mentioned to us 'smelled a rat" and on Tuesday, a lumber of them came to the office o make inquiries about the informa;ion that had been given us, and vhich had really called forth the iriticism. They are all old friends of rhe County Record, and friends of he editor?gentlemen whom we beieve to stand up for and represent he best there is in their district seven of them were "old bachelors," md emphatically deny having in any iay fought of even raised the least hjection to the levying of additional ax for school purposes in their disrict; some of them had never been jiproached on the subject. It is to ip recretted that the jrentlemen who alked to us, trustees of the chool should be so sadly misinformed .s to the attitude of the leading men n the district with regard to a mater of such vital moment as the disric school. And we would suggest hat all trustees realize their responibility, endeavor to maintain harmoly, peace and good fellowship with matrons rather than falling into the asy paths that iead to its disruption. o Voters Should Enroll Again it becomes necessary for The iecord to urge the voters of Williams>urg County to put their names on the democratic club rolls nearest their >lace of residence. This is a matter hat should not be put off from day to day. To vote in the primary elections in this state is a duty which very man owes, because the nominees selected at the primary is equivalent to their election, and no man whose * at. j iU. lame is not propeny enrouea on uie :lub books nearest his place of resilence can share in the privilege of >electnig or rejecting a candidate for public office. Put your name on the :lub rolls. Do it now, else you may forget it until it is too late. o the Shanklin Jersey Herd Auctioned. Clemson College, July 12.?The dispersion sale of Jersey cows belonging to the estate of J. A. Shanklin, Camien, S. C., held on July 7th and 8th, was very successful. The total returns for the herd was $86,700, which fives an average of $226 for 126 head. A few bull calves and blemished cows selling for under $100 are not included in this average. Blue Fox Eminent's Chromo, the champion butter cow of the South was sold to Mr. W. S. Glem of Spartanburg for $1000. The grand old bull, Blue Fox Eminent, was given to Clemson College by the estate, Mr. E. H. Shanklin, the administrator for the estate announced in giving this bull to the college that be was carrying out the wishes of his brother, and that he felt that the college deserved the use of this great bull. Although a few of the cows went to adjoining states, the great majority of this herd remained in South Carolina to improve the small herds that are now springing up in ail sections of the state. It was a great loss to the state to have this herd dispersed, yet the small herds that were started from these seed may develop into a real Jersey industry in the years to come. o A Whirlwind Campaign.

St Matthews, July 12.?That the boll weevil is generally prevalent in this county is now a matter of question. While in certain communities (oi the lower portion 01 tne county, large areas are yet apparently free from infestation, on the northern side of the county in many communities it is abundant. County Supervisor Wise was in town on } day this week with a large handful picked up at random on his farm and practically every one exhibited contaired a full sized healthy weevil. Mr. Wise's farm is only one of the many in this section. From calculat ons and data given by those with experience, and with conditions favorable to its propagation, many parts of this co inty will feel its influence with appreciable force in reducing the yield this year. o Silverman's store vill be closed all day tomorrow, (Friday), in order to mark down and arrange goods for the big sale advertised hi this paper. | I? -?
