APPRECIATION
From One Who Does Not Await a
Funeral to BeStoW Flowers.

The County Record is welcome
visitor here Friday of each week un-
less some mishap takes place. If So,
our people are disappointed.
When the postoffice at this place
was kept by ''ye scribe" the paper
came to each family who receive
their mail here, save one. This is a
most creditable record for The Rec
ord. The editor and his efficient
force deserve the most hearty con-
gratulations from all the readers of
the double-size sheet that was brim-
full of very interesting current events
of the past week, besides the attrac-
tive appearance of the advertise
ments of business houses in the town
where the highest prices are paid for
tobacco and goods are sold the
cheapest. These invitations natural
ly appeal strikingly to those who
have tobacco to sell and necessities
to buy.
We would like to say, in this con-
nection, with the editors permission,
that we are always proud of the
achievements of this section. Mr.
Wolfe was born here, but we will
not mention his age, as he looks
younger than one may suppose him
to be. He, with the most of US of
this neighborhood, then attended the
three months public schools taught
within the walls of a rude structure
under the tutelage of his noble mo-
ther. He afterwards went to Sheri-
dams Classical school, Orangeburg;
Wofford College and the South Car
olina Military College.
Mr. Wolfe taught school here, and
his pupils today admire his rigid dis
cipline required during the hours of
study.
He turned his attention to farm.
Realizing that this occupation was
not his calling, one years experience
was sufficient in agriculture. With
one term at Smiths Commercial
College, Lexington, Ky,he was taught
the art Of bookkeeping, banking,
typewriting and stenography and
did stenographic work at lucrative
salary until his health became i'm
paired.
Yet during this checkered career
he knew not then that his place
should have been in an editors
chair. WI S.
Benson, July 20.
However little he feels that he
deserves the foregoing tribute from
his generous and warm-hearted
friend at Benson, his boyhood home,
the editor of The Record would not
be human did he not feel thrill of
pleasure and qualification that one
who knows him so we'll should thus
estimate the work OF his head and
hand. More than their intrinsic
worth we value the source from
which come these expressions of
loyal friendship and the generous,
kindly spirit that prompted their ut
terance. When the rugged pathway
of life grows steep and the feet of
the way-farer are often bruised and
bleeding so that it seems that he
must lay down the burden and give
up in despair, it is such words of
cheer and encouragement that vital
ize and reyivify the weary pilgrim,
him feel that his lebors have
not been wholly in vain. We thank

Just for Convenience.

Entirely apart from the many
other advantages of a Person
al Checking Account at the
Bank, the convenience of it is
no small consideration. The
ability to make purchases and
pay bills after banking hours
without the necessity of al
ways having a pocketful OF
money is worth a great deal.
With a Check Book in your
pocket, you are taking no risks
of losing money and yet you
always have all of your money
on hand and ready for use.
One is as liable to need money
before nine in the morning or
after three as between those
hours. The Personal Check
Book settles the matter.

| beg to extend my hearty and sincere thanks to
the people of Kingstree and Williamsburg county
for the patronage they have given me in the past.
1t is II years since came to Kingstree. You
will remember the primitive state of this town II
years ago. am indeed glad to see that the
growth of Kingstree is healthy growth, not push.
ed up or doomed up; it is the evidence of the nat
ural resources of her surrounding territory. Our
land is fertile. Williamsburg is the county which
won national fame in 1912, in producing prize
acre of corn by Mr. Ernest M. Joye. Her tobacco
is the brightest grown..in eastern South Carolina.
To be up with the times of modern ideas and
improvements, l am moving now into more
commodious and up-to-date quarters and invite
and solicit the trade Of all the goodt people of
Kingstree and Williamsburg county. My motto
is always, "A square deal to ALL" Get your mon
