Adams of Columbia, who has several times been mentioned in The County Record as being in Kingstree with a view to acquiring an ini terest in the Kingstree Electric Light and Ice plant, has recently, we understand, consumaied a deal with the directors of this corporation where!.y he becomes a stockholder and | manager of the plant. Mr. Adams arrived here late last week and has taken charge of the operating end of the business. It is his expressed desire to give the town and users of current :nd ice the best possible service at a lower rate than we have been paying. It may be some little time before this can be done, but he says he is working with that end in view. We hope that the business people of Kingstree will give Mr. Adams their hearty cooperation by using current, those who are not already equipped with it, so that the plant may be c perated more profitably to the owners and a little more satisfactorily to the patrons than has been the case in the past. Mrs. Adams will join her husband here soon and they will make Kingstree their home. Episcopal Services at Summerton. The Episcopal services of Holy Week and Easter of 1922 wore of unusual interest being the last services by their present rector, the Rov. W. M. Walton. The solemn service of the Fast of the Crucifixion on Friday was attended by a congregation larger than the number who usually attend the Lenten services. Easter morning was the first Easter service held in the beautiful new church with the grand pipe organ. The organist, Mrs. L. E. Brailsford, is rapidly attaining a mastery of this instrument. The wealth of beautiful flowers, the inspring music of the special choir, accompanied by the new organ, will long be remembered. The recto, did net proach a sermon of the usual farewell typo. His text indicated an Easter Theme: "Who Shall Roll Away The Stone." The offertory sting by Mr. R. C. Richardsen as soloist, "Thy Will Be Done," was excellently rendered. The service closed with the hymn, "In the Sweet Bye and Bye." The lest four lir.es were sung by one of the little boys as a soio and were peculiarly touching as indicating the close bond existing between the rector and the children of Sur.uncrton.? Manning Tines. (The Rev. Mr. Walton is very pleasantly known in Kingstree and his departure from Sumrrerion will be learned with regret.)?Editor. <6 Governor Issues Proclamation. Columbia, April 17.?Governor Cooper today issued a proclamation setting aside Tuesday, April 25 as "Cooperation Day" in South Carolina rnd calling upon the business of the state to assist that day in the campaign to secure signatures to the cotton cooperative marketing contract. effort will be made to have every merchant and business man in South Carolina close up his place of business on that day and go out with committees of farmers and canvass for contracts. The proclamation issued by the governor follows: Whereas, South Carolina is essentially an agricultural state, depending ir large measure for her prosperity mntoripl nm<rrP<5S on the Culti vation and selling of cotton, and Whereas, the growers of cotton in our state have for many years followed a wasteful, hazardous and unbusinesslike method of selling their product, which method has resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars and the consequent impoverishment of our people, the establishment of low standards of living in hundreds of our homes, and in poorly equipped schools, and Whereas, Leading farmers and business men of our state have under way a movement looking to the orderly and efficient marketing of our chief money crop and the improvement of our financial conditions, and Whereas, The success of this movement depends upon the wholehearted cooperation of all of our people. There, I, Robert A. Cooper, governor of the State of South Carolina do hereby call upon all the business men of our state to devote on day, April 25, to assisting in every way possible in securing the signatures of cotton growers to the cooperative marketing contracts, believing that such a system of selling will be of great benefit to our producers and indirectly to all of our people.

Hili, foreman for the Columbia Salvage Corporation, was blown into bits at Charleston Friday morning when an explosion of twenty thousands pounds of black powder occurred in an ammunition salvage magazine near the ordance depot. North Charleston. More than fifty I box cars were damaged and trackaged wrecked. Fragments of Hill's j body were collected over a considerable area and placed in a coffiin for interment. His cap was found about two hundred yards from the magazine, the walls of which were made with boxes filled with sand, with a canvas roof. Hill and three colored laborers were seen about the magazine just before the explosion occurred. It is said that the negro men were practically unhurt. Berkley, a suburb of Norfolk, Va., was swept by fire last Thursday afternoon which destroyed more than 100 homes, covering an area one mile in length, and averaging from two to four blocks in width. Five hundred people are estimated to have been made homeless, and the damage will run to nearly a million dollars. o When you are in need of printing, phone Tho Record and they will call for your order.
