Mr. Darr has had a difficult job
this year getting his books closed up

of Williamsburg county were added
to this and he had to make num-

data for getting his accounts IN
shape; hence the delay.-Pee Dee

The Dance As an Advertisement
Contributed,

The people of Kingstree should
cooperate with the young men OF
the town in giving dances. The
dance has proven one of Kingstree's
greatest and best paying advertise
ments in the past, and if the business
houses houses would eave a light
burning in the stores and banks on
these nights, when so many visitors
are in town, it would enliven. things
up a bit and make a very favorable
impression on the visitors-one that
they would take home with them.
