Outrageous Conduct Of 4 Drunken
Negro on the Public Highway.


Negro on the Public Highway.
On Saturday evening, Decem-
Der 8, two daughters of Mr. T c
Poston of the Bloomingvale Sec
ton, Mrs Cox and Miss Ann
Eliza Poston, were returning
home from Kingstree in compa-
ny with Mr. Poston and his son,
Ben, who were driving ahead in
a road cart, when a negro came
up behind in a top buggy driving
at a furious speed, being evil
IDENTIFY intoxicated, as he ran
into the vehicle occupied by the
ladies, breaking a wheel and
throwing both the occupants
from their buggy, all the while
cursing and using insulting Ian
guage. Mr. Poston, a few yards
ahead, shouted to the drunken
desperate telling him to turn
out of the road, when the negro
cursed him and fred twice at
him with a pistol, the bullets
narrowly missing Mr. Poston and
his son. The miscreant then
dashed past, and disappeared
down the road at the maximum
speed of his horse. The en-
counter took place about dark
near Central church on the
Blee--e;77gvale road. To aggra-
vate the circumstances of the
outrageous occurrence one of the
ladies, Mrs Cox, had a young
baby in her arms, and the other,
Miss Poston was unwell and

sician.
Such cases as the above are
happily few in our county, and
it behooves every good citizen,
whether white or black, to aid
in bringing the guilty wretch to
justice. If summary legal pun
ishment were administered it
would not only teach the evil
deer a lesson in this particular
case but would increase respect
for the law and bring about
more harmonious relations be-
tween the races, which necess-
sarily are strained by the COM
initial of such lawless deeds of
violence as the one reported to
us as described above.

1t is with pardonable pride
that we call attention to the
fact that this issue of THE
RECORD is probably the largest
newspaper ever published in
Williamsburg county, contain
ing as it does, ten pages, six OF
which are "home print" This
is made possible by the liberal
patronage of our advertisers
and shows very conclusively
that business men who have
tested it recognize the value of
The RECORD as an advertising
medium.
In making their Christmas
purchases we would suggest
that our readers use this paper
as a directory; for in it they
will find suggestion of every
thing they need and the place
indicated where it may be OBJ
tanned.
We think our local advertisers
are entitled to a short visit to
their establishments this week
and we cordially invite all our
friends to come with US.
Starting from North Academy
street we come first to W #
Wilkins two big stores facing
each other. Here we can buy
at consumers prices at the COM
modlous brick establishment on
the West side, or if we want to
buy in quantity we'll just step
across to the wholesale estab-
lishment on the opposite side of
the street. Quick sales and
small profits is Wilkins motto
and those who deal with him
know that he lives up to it.
Next we will visit the Kings
tree Hardware Co. For years
Kingstree got along without a
hardware store and now it is
difficult to realize how it was
managed. This by the way is
one of the neatest and prettiest
stores in town and with the fur
niture store next door, which is
a part of the business, is we'll
worth a visit. Brother Carr is
hustler and the Blizzard you
will find there is not the chilling
kind, but one that will accord
YOU a warm welcome however
cold the weather may be.
1t seems to be the thing on
Academy street to occupy two
stores, for coming on down we
find ourselves at the two estab-
lishments of Mr. Sol Peres.
whose speciality is dry goods
and clothing, and who has built
up a fine patronage in these
lines. This week Mr. Peres ad-
