S Oliver O'Bryan, Esq. and DR. w
NJ Brockington went to Heinemann
last Saturday to help Mr. W M
O'Bryan celebrate his 58th birthday,
and what they did for the feast even
made the Doctors Boyd wonder, and
anything which can make DR. N
Boyd wonder when it comes to an
appetite demonstration must be
great. Manning Times.

The per capita expenditure by
counties for school children has just
been completed by Mr. ] E Swear
ingen, State Superintendent of Ed
ucation, who is compiling the figures
for his annual report. The county
of Marion leads, taking both races,
with Charleston second, Marion
spending $1S Al per capita and
Charleston Sl4 So. Williamsburg
county spends SIPS per capita
for white pupils and SLIP for color
ed. For both races the average
is $5.z5.
We were pleased to receive
visit Friday of last week from Mr.
H j aearsey, the popular young
principal of Lanes High school. Mr.
Hearsey is a native Of Marlboro
county, being a grandson of Mr. q 7
Drake, whose prize acre of corn
yielding 25S bushels and 8 pecks is
still the worlds record for corn pro-
duction. Quite recently Mr. Hearsey
more closely identified himself with
Williamsburg county by leading to
the hymeneal altar one of King
stree fair and charming demoiselles.
The Cambridge Players will be
the next Lyceum attraction at the
school auditorium, instead of the
Alkahest Artists, as stated last week
in these columns, the programme
having recently been changed by the
management so as to give Kingstree
the Alkahest Aatists in December
instead of November. The Cam
bridge players are high class enter
tainers and will doubtless be greet
ed by a large audience upon their
appearance here early next month.
The exact date will be announced
later.
A good many subscribers have
responded to our appeals and paid
their subscriptions to the paper, and
we thank them; but we still have
over 81, 900 owing on subscription.
Think what this means to us. The
advertisement and job departments
just about pay our operating ex-
penses and what is collected on sub
scription comes to US in the way of
profit. 1t means only dollar or 50
to the individual subscriber, but if
we fail to collect these accounts, it
means to us our whole years work
gone for nothing. With expenses
constantly increasing we have so far
kept the paper at the same price of
subscription, but in order to make
our living expenses we must have
the small amount we charge. Now,
don't delay this matter, but send or
bring us what you owe for SUBJ
scription.
We take pleasure in directing at
tenting to advertisement in this
iesue of Rentschner & Visanska. the
