The only real success is the man
who does his best. If one perorms
a service, he should perorm that as
well as he knows how. There have
been many alleged jokes printed
purporting to be advice from old
doctors to young doctors to keep
a patient i'll and run up bill" 1t
is hardly fair to think that any
of the young doctors needed such
advice for it would be suicide inso-
far as building up a professional
reputation was concerned. Success
depends upon a reputation and a
reputation is based upon results.
The doctor who relieves his patient
of suffering the most quickly is the
best doctor. The lawyer who wins
his clients case is the best lawyer
and, by the way-the president, who
like VIM. Mckinley, the most quick
ly turns national panic into nation
al prosperity, is proclaimed by the
people the best president.

A distinguished trust magnate re
Gently said: If a trust should do
the things that many retail firms
do, the public would hang its mem
bers at sight" While this sounds
absurd, it is not without its bear
ing of fact. The motive is the same
in each case, but the opportunities
differ. A big trust can, by raising
the price of a commodity half a cent
a pound, reap a profit of anywhere
from thousands of dollars to per-
haps millions. Because of the raise
of half a cent, however, the retail
dealer Immediately raises the sell
ling price to the consumer. five
cents, or about ten times the ad-
vance of the wholesaler, and blames
1t on to the trust. The average
consumer who neither produces or
sells, is the fellow who is Utterly
without protection and is the one
who gets it in the neck both go
ing and coming. His mission is to
wok for pay and buy the necessi-
ties, regardless of at what price. or
go without, which would mean to
starve. The trust, however, is the
first fellow who sets the example
and he is quickly followed by the
wholesaler and retailer, to what
ever limit they think will be toler-
ated, or can be forced.

HIGH SCHOOL FLAG STAFF
BROKEN BY HIGH WIND

The Scvcntv-tivc-foUt steel flag
Stafr erected in front of the Farm
ington High school building few
days before the dedication of the
building was blown down last sun
day might during the high wind
which prevailed. 1t snapped oil at
the first joint, about thirteen feet
above the ground, and In the fall
one Of the other joints was pulled
out. The >tatI was purchased of th"
l.. NJ. Rumsey Manufacturing Co.
of St Louis, who verbally assured
that It was all right and would stand
the necessary strain, though NJ"
written guarantee was given. The
staff must have been defective Mt
the joint where it broke, for gal"
that was not strong enough to dam
age trees and break oil limbs with
their greater exposure of surface To
catch the wind would hardly snap a
steel staff with scarcely any resist
ing surface il it were not defective.
The RumN"y Company hav" been
written to about it, but we have not
learned whether they will do any
thing to make good the loss.

The First Baptist Church Of Farm
iugtou was organized March Is, 1852,
by Rev. J g. Hardy and Rev j +.
Baker with eleven constituent mem
hcrs. Two Of those members only
retain their membership in the
church now, viz Mrs. Jasper n.
Burks Of Pennington ard Mrs. Liz
zie TurIcy Of st. Louis. Rev. j. G..
Hardy was the first pastor, serving
for about six years. The church
had various struggles for existence
till the first house Of worship was
erected under the misistry Of Rev.
f. NJ. ShOush, the building project
having been begun in lS92 and com
pleted on august q, 1888. The cree
tiou of the first house of worship
was great step forward. The
church records show that Mrs. Mary
Doss was the leading member of the
building committee, save possibly
the pastor r. NJ ShOush. Mrs. DOss
still lives among us to rejoice in
the erection of better equipped
house than the one she had so large
II share in erecting.
The first house was erected when
there were only thirteen resident
members, at cost OF Sl,1ljl5, in
cluding the bell, which still does
good service. The agitation for the
splendid new house of worship was
begun by the present pastor, Rev.
=. =. Brite, in the spring Of 1907, but
on account of the panic Of that year,
the only acquisition of property then
was the purchase Of the PASTORS
home, which was repaired at consd-
cradle cost and in which the present
pastor has lived since.
The present membership Of the
First Baptist Church is 10; and
with new building the equal of
any other house of worshipin Farm
ington, they are we'll equipped and
may well go forward with hope to
larger achievements.

"reminiscences ANENT
OLD KINGSTREE.
A FORMER STUDENT HERE RE
CALLS ANCIENT TIMES AND
PERSONAGES.
Editor County Record:

Editor County Record
want to make a few remarks as
to Kingstree, our county seat. The
writer went to school in Kingstree
from 1882 to 'S5. We knew it then
as "Old King stree" and in those
days the merchants were: MIR w j
Lee, Benjamin Brothers, MIR Ira ko-
ger, Mrs P Brockinton and the pres
ent Mr. Porter. Mr. Lee was the
manager of the Coleman Hotel and
bar-room; Mr. NJ F Heller was doing
a livestock business, the druggists
were DR. D C Scott and DR. James
Brockinton. Dr. Brockinton's stand
was the fine drug store now occupied
by his son, DR. w V Brockinton. Also
the old school-house still stands and
the old store known as the Kinder
building near DR. Scott's drug store.
Down near the old depot site there
has been SO much change that /
hardly recognized the locality. In
1885 this part of town was an old
field, ,farmed ard, | believe, owned by
Mr. Logan, then editor and owner of
the old Williamsburg Star" or
Record" Mr. Logan was one of the
best men that ever lived in Kings
tree. Always called the writer, my
young friend Camlin." But he has
long since gone to his reward.
Also Mr. Mcbride Scott, who lived
Just across Broad swamp, was a
kind and good man in his day; all
who knew him loved and respected
him. Also in his neighborhood, a
little farther up the road, lived Mr.
James McClary, with whom the
writer boarded year after year while
going to school. This noble Christian
family were as parents to the writer
and never shall forget the refining
influences that were brought to bear
upon me by that good old-tlme
Christian Presbyterian family, and
warm place will ever remain in my
heart for all the members of this
family. The old gentlemen. the dear
wife and mother. two of the sons
and one of the daughters have cross
ed the river of death. Mr. P G Nc
Clary of Georgetown and Messrs
Hayward and Sam MeClary are all
of the family that now survive.
Mr. Wilder. our revered school
teacher, i have lost sight of entirely.
The children who attended the school
were myself, the MeClarys, the Solo
mons, Mr. Ham Keels' children, Mr.
Louis Jacobs children, Mr. Mac
SCOTS, the Brockinton girls, the
Hirsch boys, Robert Fulton, Walter
and George Logan and others.
Right at the foot of our school
building stood Mr. NJ j Hirsch's law
office. Mr. Kelley's office was where it
is now. Mr. Ira Roger married the
only daughter of the late Samuel j
Morris, Esq, who was fine lawyer
and a good man. Mr. Barron Grier
was practicing law in the present
office of Messrs Lee & Fishburne,
and Mr. T M Gilland's office was
where it is now.
To compare the present kingstree
with the town then, there are only
two places that look natural-the
court house and the old Lee store.
The old Lee building would furnish
fine fuel for a fire in this thriving
town on some dry, windy day.
Mr. Editor, this may be interesting
to some of our Kingstree people to
read. Mr. Calhoun Logan, another
fine old gentleman and veteran, |
knew and loved in those days as |
do now. SUBSCRIBER.
