OFFICERS COMPLIMENTED-EQ-
UALIZATION BOARDS WORK.
Andrews, April 4:-The writer
spent nearly all the past week at the
county seat as a member of the
. county board of equalization. The
board did some good work and the
aax-payers will find their property
Shoroughly equalized so THAT each
Shdividual will bear his part Of taA- :
&tion. Each member of the board
Seemed to have the best interest of
his township at heart. | believe our
scompetent Auditor, Mr. j J B Mont
'gomery, is better pleased with the
work of this county board than he
has been for years. Mr. Montgomery
has made one of the best Auditors
Williamsburg county has ever had.
Let's adhere to the Presidents ad-
vice to the Powers of the East by
keeping our good men in office. We
can't better Mr. j j B" in the coun-
ty as Auditor. The Treasurer's office
also is now capably filled.
At West Andrews last Saturday
night your scribe had the pleasure
of listening to some beautiful music
rendered by the newly organized
string band of this town. We are
Informed that the ladies of the town
will give box party in a few days
to raise money to further aid the
Andrews String band. This newly
organized band deserves great praise
for it's efforts in this matter. They
will play during the season at all
picnics and gatherings of the town.
There will be mass meeting Of
our citizens in few days to devise
plans to begin the campaign for the
county of Andrews. We expect the
cooperation of Messrs Brown & Co.,
Messrs F Rhem & Sons and other
prominent business men in the pro-
posed territory. The plan is to cut
Ia miles into Williamsburg county
and s miles into Georgetown and a
Reee out of Berkeley. We have TIE
wise of 5000, 600 worth of taxable
property in the town of Andrews
and as fine school building as can
be found in the county or the lower
part of the State. Watch the court
house and Jail go up in this town
within two years. Mr. Editor, If you
will consider our condition you will
give us your efforts in this matter.
We want the assistance of both OF
our county papers, The County Rec
ord and the Georgetown Daily Item.
We feel that those two papers WELD
a mighty power in each of their
counties.
Hon F. H Kellahan of Kingstree
spent few pleasant moments with
the writer last Thursday while in
town. Our people generally were
pleased to meet him. 1t has been
several years since he visited our
town.
Miss Mary Clyde Hodges, who
taught school in town three years
ago, is the guest of Misses Ossie ard
Elma Camlin. She will also visit Mrs
LIZ King of East Andrews. Miss
Hodges is admired by all who have
had the pleasure of forming her ac-
quaintance.
Glennie Camlin and F Mouzon
caught fifty Black river Dream and
red-breast last Friday, as large as
ever were taken from the waters OF
the Wee Nee. The tackle used for
catching these beauties was the
jigger. Mr. Editor, this is pretty
good for young fishermen. They
will try their luck again and If sue
cessful the writer will certainly
"whack up" with you, Mr. Editor, so
lust whet your appetite. (We can
