Help Yourself by Helping Us.

We hope the friends of The Rec
ord, when they come to town to do
their trading, will patronize the busi-
ness houses that advertise in this
paper. Remember that without these
liberal merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
of subscription would be at least $S
a year for such a paper as The Rec
ord. You'll find, as a rule, that the
men who advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
not advertise. This applies not only
to Kingstree, but many live and up
to-date business men of Lake City,
Scranton and Greelyville recognize
the pulling power of an ad in The
Record. tt

TO HOLD COTTON FOR 1Sc.
County Union Urges Farmers to
Stop Mad Rush TO Market.

Williamsburg County Farmers
union met in the court house on
Thursday, October 5, at II O'Clock
a. m. Nine out of eleven unions
were represented. There seemed to
be much interest manifested on the
part of the delegates. Mr. H T Nor.
rison of McClellanville was present
and gave the union some timely ad-
vice on warehousing and holding
cotton. Mr. w o Camlin reported
that the warehouse. while repairs
had not been completed, was ready
to receive cotton and that some had
been stored. A resolution was passed
asking the president of each union
to appoint a committee of at least
three to canvass the county and try
to prevail on the farmers to hold
their cotton and to ascertain how
many bales will be held for 13c. 1t
is the opinion of the Farmers union
that unless something is done to
check the rush of cotton on the mar
ket, this years crop will be sold be-
low the cost of production.
Mr. Morrison gave very interest
ing and instructive address at 2::30
D. m. He said all other farmers are
organized and are taking care of
themselves, and why should not the
Southern cotton growers organize
and control the price of cotton? 1t
is as easy for the cotton growers to
take care of themselves as it is for
the fruit growers and grain growers
of the West. If we will hold our cot
ton off the market the price will ad-
vance. But if we continue the mad
rush as it has been so far. the price
will 60 lower. Brother farmer, for
the sake of your families who helped
you to make that cotton, hold it off
the market till the prices become
better. You can hold, the banker
stands ready to help you.
There is no excuse for the farmer
to sacrifice his labors in giving away
his cotton. There is plenty of avail
able money to enable the cotton
grower to warehouse his cotton and
get profitable prices for it. Farmers,
be wise and hold your cotton.

AFFAIRS AT ANDREWS.
Undesirable Citizens Made TO
Move On-.PerSonal Notes.

Andrews, October S:-Mr John :
Graham passed through town last
Friday returning to his home from
Asheville, N C, where he has been
seeking health for the past two
months. l am sorry to say that Mr.
Graham did not improve as his
friends hoped he would, but trust
that he may yet be restored to his
health and strength and be spared to
his county as a useful citizen in. the
future as he has been in the past.
Mr. Graham and the father of the
writer were always warm friends. |
have heard my father make the re-
mark on many occasions while Hon
John S Graham and DR. A H Will
liams were in our House of Repre-
sentatives and State Senate, respec-
lively, that he feared no danger of
any law that would injure our peo-
pie, even the enactment of the stock
law. See the confidence he felt IN
these men. The writer thinks if our
State were made up of such men we
would have quite different country.
We believe if We have this warm re-
gard for our friends on earth we
should express it to them ere they
depart this life.
The writer has been quite inois-
posed for the past week, hence no
communication last week from here.
The hum of the cotton gin and the
clatter of the wagons hauling the
fleecy staple are heard in town from
before daylight to late hours at
night.
Our town is fast getting rid of
some of its most undesirable citizens.
Some time ago we made mention of
a set of white boys who had broken
into the express office and stolen a
lot of whisky. They were made to
pay for the stolen goods and the
boys with their parents to leave the
State. The mother and one boy about
Is or 16 years old came back here
some few months ago and the boy
loafed around town for a week. He
was finally hired by a farmer who
took him home with him. He
robbed this employer of his pocket
book and $19. He then ran away
and, coming back to town, stole $40
from another party and a bottle of
whisky out Of 6. mans buggy. All
these acts committed from Saturday
night to Monday afternoon. The
boy is still at large, hunting some
thing else to steal. Beware of him
as a pick-pocket.
Our city fathers have ordered the
removal of one George Wineglass,
eolored, who has been operating a
house of ill fame and running blind
tiger right along in the tracks of
Mamie Williams. who was convicted
of that crime at the last court. Our
town officers are determinedthat such
nuisances shall be abated here, re-
gardless of who rents them houses.
Both of those negro dives have made
attempts to operate their places
right on Main street and have had the
cooperation of some white people.
What shame and disgrace to hu-
manity! At the Wineglass dive is
where one negro shot another to
death last spring, ,and at Mamie Will
liams' is where the Two white men
got into a difficulty and one was
shot and the other cut nearly to
death. Still some white people will
use every effort to maintain such
places in town, but our officers say
the evil-doers must go and go now.

WHISTLER AND MOORE.
Two Versions of the Famous Gaming
Incident at the Drury Lane
Theater.

It was in his capacity as editor OF
the Hawk that the late Augustus
Moore, a journalist and playwright OF
no little nOtOriety, enacted an unre-
hearsed comedy with Whistler that
created no end of a sensation at the
time. 1t happened in the Vesfbule Of
Drury Lane on the first night of the
production of "a Million of Money"
Whistler, it appeared, had been an
noyed at sundry references to himself
in the Hawk and, coming up to Gus
Moore. who was calmly smoking a
cigarette, struck him across the face
with n cane. A struggle followed, and,
although opinions varied as to the ac-
tuaI course Of the conflict, there was
no doubt about Whistler having uli-
mateIy to pick himself up from the
dOOT.
Each of the prOtagOnistS afterWard
gave his version of the incident. 4
started out" said Whistler, ''to cane
this fellow with as little emotion as 1
would prepare to kill a rat. I did cane
him TO the satisfaction of my many
friends and his many enemies, and
that was the end Of it" Il am sorry" &"
wrote Mr. Moore for his part, "but I
have had to slap Mr.. Whistler. My
Irish blood got the better of me, and
before I knew it the shriVeIed up little
monkey was knocked over and kick
ing about on the floor"
The notion, however, that he was
knocked down was characterized by
Whistler as "a barefaced falsehOOd.' y
He contended that Mr.. Moore never
touched him. Il am sure" he added,
Il don't know why, for he is a much
bigger man than I. My idea is that
he was thoroughly cOwed by the
moral force of my attack. I had to
turn him around in order to get at
him. Then I cut him again and again
as hard as I could, kissing out Hawk!
with each stroke. Oh, you can take
my word for It, everything was done
In the cleanest and most cOrreCt fash
ION possible. I always ike to do
things cleanly."-New York Tribune.

Plumber.

Mulligan, the contractor, put up a
church building. Dunn was building
inspector then, and when he saw the
church he said, Pat, it isn't plumb"
That made Mr.. Mulligan pretty mad.
He climbed right up and began to take
measurements. Having squinted down
the plumb line in a dozen different
places, he was ready to report. There
was a ring of triumph in his voice.
"Air. Dunn" he said, 'cOme and look
at it y'rself. Plumb, eh? By tn piper
that played before Moses, it's more

CARRYING PIG IRON.
The Way Scientific Study Increased
Results and Wages.

The way ScientITc STUDY Increased
Results and Wages.
No work seems more simple, more
unlikely to be subject to scientific
study, than the art Of carrying pig
iron. This, however, has been sub
jected to the most careful scientific
study. Men at Bethlehem, Pa, were
loading pig iron on cars at the rate Of
about twelve tons a day. Certain pig
handlers were given extra wages for
doing this work under special direc-
ton. An attempt was made to ascer-
tain the relation between the amount
of horsepower which each man exert
ed and the fatigue which he incurred.
Long continued experiment furnished
a vast amount of information, but ap-
parently no law. Finally F. w. Tay-
lor, who was conducting the expert
ments, handed the data over to an
associate who was apt at mathemati-
cal problems Very soon he reported
that he had discovered the law-that
fatigue varied in proportion to a GER
tain relation between the amount OF
load and the period Of rest-fOr exam
pie, man carrying a ninety-twO pound
pig had, in order to avoid fatigue, TO
be at rest % per cent of the time. The
discovery Of this law involved a great
amount of data, including certain phys
biological facts concerning the poison
Gus effects Of waste tissue upon the
blood and difficult mathematic fOrmU-
la, including the plotting of curves.
As a result the pig handlers were di-
rected exactly how to lift and carry
their loads and when to rest, and the
amount Of pig iron handled by each
man every day increased from twelve
and a half tons to fOrty-seven. Of
course the men received a great ad-
vance in ages.-Ernest Hamlin Alb
bOtt in Outlook.
