The KINGSTREE HARDWARE co
Closes lis First Year OF Successful
BUSINESS Life

The Kingstree Hardware Co, one
of our infant enterprises, has just
concluded their first year in our
town, and we are glad to learn that
they are pleased with the reception
and patronage with which they
have been favored by the people Of
Kingstree and Williamsburg county.
At their annual meeting recently
satisfactory dividend was declared
and all the old officers were re-elect-
ed for the ensuing year. Having
obtained firm foothold here their
prospects are bright for a perma-
nent and successful future.
We refer to this company as an
''infant" enterprise, but as a mat
ter of fact il has grown in one year
to be large business concern, oc-
cupylng two good sized stores anu
ware house. A representative OF
THE COUNTY RECORD dropped in
yesterday to secure IN order for
job work (for they have all their
Job printing done at The RECORD
office and are also liberal adver-
tisers), and it is really surprising to
note the large quantities of ner-
chandise they buy direct from the
manufacturers. Our representative
was shown a solid carload of wire
they have just received and invoices
for Il carload of stoves now en-
route, and also four carloads OF
other goods-lime, cement and PIP
ing-making, all told, six solid car
loads of merchandise on hand and in
transit.
Truly this speaks well for a COM
paratively new Kingstree enterprise.

A Business League.

In most wideawake towns much
has been done to promote material
development and commercial ex-
pansion by the forming of cuisines
leagues" whose province is, in gen
eral, to advertise to the void the
peculiar advantages of the COM
munity that they represent, and TO
work together harmoniously and IN
telhgently to encourage the estab'
lishment of industrial enterprises
both by home and "foreign'' capital.
BY studying the conditions of their
town and county such a body of
men would be prepared to furnish
off.hand and in detail such informtion
as b usiness men with capital would
naturally want before seriously en-
tertaining the idea of investing
their money in a community un-
known to them. In many instances
these organizations take the name
of "young mems business leagues, !"
but the matter of name is of small
consequence. Any one should be
eligible who earnestly desires to
promote the growth and welfare of
the town.
Already Kingstree is stretching
itself, as though awakening from a
long, lethargic slumber, and the
signs everywhere indicate its up
building and material advancement.
The term, "full grown town."
which has been jeeringly applied to
this municipality, is already mis-
nomer of which fact evidence is visi-
BILE on every hand. IL has also been
said that nature has done everything
for Kingstree and that scarcely any
thing else has been done. However
true such an observation might
have been in the past, times have
changed and there is now in the
very atmosphere the breath Of prog
ress. Already We have much here
TO attract newcomers, if it were
but known to outsiders. 1t is the
work of the business league to ex
plot the advantages and resources
that the town enjoys. The time
is ripe for such an organization and
we hope to see our business men so
interested that it may soon take tam
gible form. We leave the subject
open and invite discussion from
anyone who is interested in this
most important matter.
