DYNAMITE 1!
Vacant Tenant House on Railroad
Avenue Wrecked.

For the first time probably
since the settlement OF the
Scotch.Presbyterian colony that
gave birth to the town OF Kings
tree and the county of Williams
burg, dynamite, the weapon of
the anarchist, has been used to
destroy property. Tuesday
morning, about 4 o'clock, the
people of Kingstree were start
led by an explosion that sounded
like the firing of a battery OF ar
tillery. Daylight revealed the
fact that a tenant house on
Railroad avenue, owned by DR.
DC Scott, had been wrecked
The house was vacant at the
time, so nobody was killed or
injured, which surely would
have been the result had it been
occupied.
The theory as to motive is
that some person or persons re-
garded the former inmates OF
the house as undesirable citi.
zens'' and this demonstration
was intended as warning to
future occupants. DR. Scott, the
owner, says that no complaint
has ever been made to him about
the tenants of the house and he
feels justly incensed at the wan
ton destruction of his property.

PAWlErs ISLAND BREEES.
One Of the Best Beaches on the Al.
lantic Coast.

lantic Toast.
Editor COUNTY RECoRD:-The
idea occurred to me few days ago
to steal away from work aud visit
once more, after several years, the
pleasant beach of Pawley's island.
We arrived here after one days
drive through the country to George
town, where We spent the night.
The next morning the steamer F &
Borroughs, Capt. Dusenbury, land
ed us safely at True Blue, where a
hack was in waiting for spin of
four miles to the island. Few peo.
pie visit this island nowadays, de-
spite the fact that a better beach
can scarcely be found on the coast,
so far as natural advantages 60.
This is very unfortunate condition,
since there is no other chance for 80
much real outing and recreation
during the lot months at so little
cost, aud so convenient as is afforded
here. Then, too, the people ought
to feel a natural pride in this native
resort. For two years the enter
prising people of the A G Lumber
Corporation operated two hotels and
a railroad from the island to Hagley,
thus furnishing great convenience
long needed, but for some reason,
possibly lack Of sufficient patronage
OF the island generally, these have
been abandoned and probably will
not be reopened. The cause of it all
must be that our people are patron
lzing the resorts farther away, for the
simple reason that they are able 70
do 90; but such practice, 30 long as
it means a destruction of our
home resort, ought to be discouraged.
We have posslbly come in q bad
time, as the weather is showery, and
bathing is not such luxury when
there ls an sdmixture of the waters.
1t is poor taste, we recognize, to
crisicise unless invited, but when
such serious and fragrant mistakes
az the Wholesale butchering of our
beautiful, native long-leaf pine for
est, such as is in evidence near George
town and on the peninsular between
the Waccamaw and the island, it
seems like ones duty to speak out
openly. For miles between Weenee
river and Georgetown, one expert
ences rare delight in drive over
the excellent roads for which
Georgetown county is famous), that
penetrate the beautiful open pine
woods. But his delight, instead OF
being enhanced as he nears the sup
posed center of enlightenment, fades
into gloom as he passes into the tur'
pentine woods around the city. This
is almost a disgrace, and we would
say 80 unquali6edly if we knew ex'
actly where to lay the blame. Be
that as it may, both this beautiful
stretch of timber and that still more
attractive tract lying between the
Waccamaw and the ocean are now
doomed TO an early and utter de-
struction, never again, perhaps, to
be restored. certainly not for many
decades, even centuries. What are
the people going to do about its The
home builder is discouraged at this
sight and turns his eyes to other
lands,an yet we wonder at our native
men and women focking to the
cities.
Sincerely yours,
L. A. Nc.

Preachers Don't
Obey the Law
THAT is A LARGE NUMBER, NOT
ALL, ARE CARELESS
IN DUTY.

Some preachers are derelict in their
duty. the law requires that preach
ers marrying couples are to make a
return to the county clerks office,
showing that the license issued has
been presented to him. But a con.
siderable percentage of licenses are
never returned, says the Wheeling
News.
This was brought to light forcibly
Thursday IN the county clerks Office
when a young man endeavored to fix
the marriage date of his parents as a
legal requirement IN settling some
matters connected with an estate.
The record of the issuance OF the mar,
riage certificate was found, dating a5
years ago, but ministers were as care.
less than as now, and no return had
been made.
AS every minister licensed to per
form the marriage ceremony is re
quired to furnish bond in the sum o.
$500, this derelictlon of duty woult
appear to be provided for, though no
specifically covered.
