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

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.

WEEVIL IN CALHOUN
Farmers Expecting Considerable
Damage to Crop This Tear.
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.
