The speculative boom is reflected by an increase in bank elearings at New York of s3 per cent last week, which helped materially to swell the total for all cities to 53 per cent above the cor responding figure a year ago. Bank clesrings are now running ahead not merely of l097, when business was de- moralized by the panic, but of 1906, when trade everywhere was satisfac- tory. The substantial improvement in general conditions can be freely con ceded without accepting the dictum of Wall street bulls that stocks must con tinue to soar. The prevailing sentiment may be expressed thus: The market should decline-but it continues to go up.

Our Correspondent Does Not Favor
New County Schema.

CADES, December 31:-I notice
| in last weeks issue of The Re
CORD that our friend, The
Times correspondent, "KnoGks
Kingstree to boost Lake City,''
with regard to the scheme pro-
jected to form Lake county en-.
tirely out of williamsburg terri
tory,with Lake City as the coun.
ty seat.
We will admit that Lake City
is hustling and thriving and
her people progressive. but we
fail to see how we will be bene-
flied by having extra taxes to
pay to meet the demands of a
new county government.
We deem it bad enough to
have a gallows on one side of
US, but to become so unfortun-
ate as to have one on either
side suggests Sherman's def.
milton of war.
Mr. Editor, We have no desire
TO reflect on Lake CITY, but we
hope by calling attention to
these things to awaken the
good citizens of Williamsburg
residing in the lower part of the
county. That tits a little far
ther from Johnsonville to
Kingstree than fro m Lake
City to Kingstree every one
knows, so that, if we are to
have the new county, it would
be decidedly to the interest of
the people in that section to
have county seat among them.
We wish to advise the people
living in the lower part of Will
liamsburg to open their eyes
and see the position they will
be placed in if they sleep on
their rights and allow Lake
county to be voted in.
When time comes for voting
on the county question we want

a remarkable man, having a

memory for facts and circum-

Judge Scott passed his whole
life here in Kingstree and loved
his home and people with the
intensity and zeal for which is
noted the sturdy Scotch ances-
try from which he sprung. At
different times he served his
people as sheriff, magistrate,
Judge of probate and clerk Of
