The proceeds will go toward improving the school building. We have had a clean-up day and < the campus was swept. The trees have been white-washed and the fences are being repaired. But "to the staTs" being our motto we will not stop with these improvements and hoipe that this is only the beginning. The football boys, although defeated by the Kingstree squad, has improved very much and so marked is the improvement that we're hoping to play Andrews soon. The girls' basket ball team are getting together their "paraphernalia" and are planning for some good games with the nearby schools. A short program celebrating the signing of the Armistice was carried out in chapel Friday morning, November 10th, by the 7th grade under the supervision of Miss Blaine.

Kirton. p The Boss "Sweet Spud." I A sweet potato weighing exactly ' en pounds was left at The Recoid j >ffice yesterday by Mr. F. W. Fairey. I This is the largest member of the pecies we have seen since "jumbo'' ; eighing 15 1-2 pounds made its ap- ' jearanee in Kingstree several years j igo. Mr. Fairey says he raised'this : sweet spud and that he has a large latch of them. We have no reason , vhatever to doubt hiip- for we know ie is a farmer. Once he nearly valked us to death showing us over lis plantation with its beautiful ciops. besides, he raises lots of hogs. Once ve saw him enter a gate to one of lis fields and heard him give a few ,-ells that would have put a Kankacee indian to flight, and in less time :han it takes to tell it there were nore than four hundred hogs came ;earing out of the woods to see what vas the matter. We also get stray jieces of his mail occasionally, and )nly this week we accidently open 1 1 letter to Mr. Fairey from some ivestock broker. We soon discover- ( id that the letter was not intended 'or us and therefore do not know its ext, but it is probable that Mr. Fairey s negotiating with this livestock nan with a view to buying a lot of ?ood dairy cows, it wouldn't be unike him to get these to consume his surplus velvet beans, hay, fodder etc., ind incidentally some of these wonlerful sweet potatoes. Mr. Fairey is a banker too, being :ashier of the oldest banking institution in the county, and with all of his business interests' he enjoys a little sport, football, baseball and the like, but to follow a pack of frenzied hounds in a, fox chase is his chief delight. Why he even went to Camden after old Reynard last week and in his enthusiasm over the prospective chase forgot his hunting license until the game warden of the county called his attention to the necessity of having this little permit easily accessible when called upon for it. At least this is told on htm by Ed. Brockington and Harold Kinder. x 9 Mistaken Identity. v At the fall term of the Court of General Sessions which convened in Kingstree on the 24th day of October, a young white man who gave his name as John Sports was convicted of forging a check and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. This man was from the Morrisville section, and we find that there is another young white man living in the Greelyville section whose name is al so John Sports. The young man in the Greelyville section is the son of Ben F. Sports and we wish to inform readers of The County Record and the public in general that it was the John Sports from Morrisville and not the John Sports from Greelyville who was convicted of forgery. Mr. Sports from Greelyville called this to our attention and requested that this explanation be made. To prevent a cold, take 666. NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR - FINAL DISCHARGE.

To the Teachers of Williamsburg county: On November 18th, .1922, at 12:00) o'clock, the Williamsburg County Teachers association will hold its first meeting for the present school year in the Kingstree school auditorium. It is possible for a teachers' association to be of great value to the teachers. It depends very largely upon what the teachers put into the assdciation. I want the teachers of the county to come together and have a strong association this year. It is a teacher's duty to do all she'can to help herself and to help other teachers. I am, therefore, asking all the teachers of Williamsburg county to be present at the first meeting. I am syre that the program will be helpful to you, and unless you are providentially hindered, it will be your dnfw tn offend As this is the first meeting, for the present school year, there will be an election of officers. Mr. D. L. Leu-is, State Rural School Supervisor, will address the teachers. There will be a discussion' of matters of interest and importance to all the teachers. At the conclusion of the program the Domestic Science class of the Kingstree school will serve lunch. Let us try to make this one of the best teachers' meetings we have ever had in Williamsburg county. M. F. MONTGOMERY, County Superintendent of Education. November 8th, 1922.
