ing, that institution is the Kingstree
Graded school.
Like everything else worth striving
for the evolution of the graded
school from the village academy with
its two teachers and half 3 hundred
pupils has been attended with no
small degree of difficulty and dis
couragement. Up to a few years
ago the school seemed to have
reached a stationary period, each
year showing about the same number
of pupils and very little advancement
otherwise. Then came something
like an awakening along educational
lines. The building was enlarged
and improved, an additional teacher
employed, and-best Of all-the
graded system adopted. Last year,
as the large attendance justified it,
the number of teachers was increased
to four and, we understand, the max
imum enrolment numbered $50
pupils, a decided increase over all
previous yours.
On next Monday another scholastic
year will begin. There is every
reason to believe that this session
will be a remarkably successful one,
as the school seems to have we'll ad-
vanced upon a period of prosperity
and progress. The new faculty has
been selected with great care, every
member composing it being a trained
and successful teacher. The pat
ronage will will doubtless be better
than last year, as very liberal in
ducements are offered to out of town
pupils.
Every year there are pupils from
Williamsburg going to preparatory
schools in other counties. This is
not as it should be, when there is an
excellent graded school right here at
home. If we did not believe the
graded school to be thorough and
worthy in every respect We should
certainly withhold our unqualified
endorsement, however reluctant we
should be to do so. From what We
know of the school and its manage
ment we believe it to be the equal of
any preparatory educational institu-
ton in this part of the State and it
is indeed a pleasure that We can
conscientiously make this statement.
In closing, We would advise cur
readers who have children to educate
to look into the merits of the Kings

AAAS w
the practice of "dunning" delin-
quent subscribers through the col
umns of a newspaper, yet there are
times when the necessity for doing so
seems to be inevitable. The number
of people who have read The RECORD
for a year or more without paying
anything toward the support of the
paper runs up into the hundreds and
the time has come when We are
forced either to curtail this list or 60
out of business. 1t costs US on an
beverage one hundred dollars a month
to publish this newspaper and for
the past six months We have besn
running at a loss. Strange and in
comprehensive as this may seem to
Those who cherish the delusion that
lit costs nothing to get out a news
paper, yet it can be established as d
fact by referring to u books.
This is a condition of affairs that
is unusual and it is due to the fact
that many of our subscribers who,
however willing they might have
been, were actually unable on ac-
count of the crop failure last year
to pay the small amounts due US.
We realize the situation and, sympa-
thizing deeply with the misfortunes
of our. patrons, did not cut of
any subscribers from our list Or
even press them for payment. This
~entailed a heavy expense upon US
and we have now reached a point
where we can bear it no longer. The
people Of this county have been
blessed with "a good crop year and
We believe tnat every man on our list
will be able to pay rs what is due Ii
he chooses l.. do so.
True IN each case it is only q
small sum, seldom more than a dol
lar or two; but when the fact is con-
sidered that one thousand Of these
little accounts amount to $1,000, one
can realize what it means to us.
We make this appeal in all kind
ness; it is not pleasant to write on
such subjects; but We hope what has
been said will be carefully considered
and duly headed.

Cincinnati, Aug. 1o.-The superior
court on Monday declared the Rogers
law unconstitutional. This is the law
which granted the old Cincinnati
Street Railway Co. it's franchise and
under which the Cincinnati Traction
Co. is operating. The suit was brought
by Attorney Theodore Horstman, for
a taxpayer. The law was knocked
out on two grounds: First, that it
unreasonably classified street rail-
ways and municipal corporations.
Second, that it was not of uniform
operation, even if it's classifications
were legal. The meaning of the Sec
ond reason is that the law is invalid
because it provides only for a 50-year
extension of franchises for such
street railroads as complied with it's
condition on the day it went into
