WHEAT AT BENSON.
Two Hundred and Fifty Bushels
ThreShed for Local Farmers.

Benson, July 12::-Last week Mr.
David E McCutchen was in this
neighborhood with his portable ma
chine threshing wheat for the
farmers. In this immediate COM
munity two hundred and fifty BUSH
els were threshed out. Allowing
five bushels to make one barrel of
-four the amount of pure, fresh,
wholesome wheat -four would amount
to fifty barrels. distributed among
the farmers who have added this in
dustry to the numerous farm pro-
ducts that are now being raised.
Mr. McCutchen has threshed wheat
in several neighborhoods and reports
the average yield about eight bushels
to the acre.
Mr. John Thomas of Cades was the
champion producer until Mr. Nc
Cutchen arrived here with his ma
chine and threshed for our hustling
farmer, MIR John Y McGill, who
heads the list of wheat growers with
fifty-three bushels on two acres or
26 IL to the acre.
1t is now a thoroughly demon
strated fact that the planters of
Williamsburg county are able to
raise enough wheat for their own
consumption. 1t has already been
proven that more than one hundred
bushels of corn to the acre is pos
sible and naturally that means an
abundance of home raised meal,
grits, meat. milk and butter. With
a plenty Of fresh vegetables, Irish
and sweet potatoes and homemade
syrup, chickens and eggs, why
shouldn'twe be prosperous people?
The only possible cause of failure
would be the need of drainage,
judgment and energy.
The corn crop has improved very
much where it has been properly
worked and will yield more than
was thought month ago.

Kinastree's Tobacco Market.

MIR Farmer, won't you bear in
mind that Kingstree has one of the
very best tobacco markets in the
State, and that this market will
open for the sale of leaf tobacco next
Thursday morning. one week from
today. There are four well equip
ped warehouses here. each under the
management and direction of men
whose knowledge of the warehouse
business cannot be questioned and
whose honesty and integrity is un-
impeachable. They have all been
working hard and gone to extra ex-
pense during the past few weeks
getting their warehouses in the best
possible condition for your conven-
ience and now they are inviting you
to give them share of your pat
ronage and The Record feels that it
can vouch for square deal in every
respect, at their hands.
Several new prize houses have re-
Gently been erected and are easily &C
cessible. These houses will mark a
big improvement over former con-
ditions here in the handling of to-
bacco, so if you are ready to sell
drive straight to Kingstree, where
you will always find courteous treat
ment at the hands of our warehouse
men,. bankers and merchants. Our
lawyers, doctors and preachers, too,
will give you glad hand and a
square deal if you have occasion to
call upon them.

ALLEGED BOGUS CHECKS.
Visitor Accused OF VictimiZing
Fruit Concerns Here.

Solomon khoury, said to be a
tailor at Kingstree, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Chief Can't
well and lodged at the police sta
ton, where two charges concerning
bogus checks were made against
MIN. 1t is also reported by the po-
lice that third charge will prob
ably be made against him this
morning.
In one case he is accused OF OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenseS
from the Southern Fruit Company,
and in the other case it is charged
that he forged the name of A Angelo
to check given to the Bay Fruit
Company.
Chief Cantwell was notified by
the Southern Fruit Company that a
man representing himself as S M
Osmer. merchant al Lake City,
had called and. after having inquir-
ed into the accounts of Osmer, whom
he claimed to be. it is alleged. left
an order for bananas and onions and
secured $40 cash or a draft drawn
on Osmer. 1t developed that he
was not Osmer, that the draft was
no good and that Osmer did not
order the goods. This is said to
have taken place Thursday. The
police were notified yesterday, with
a description of the man, and about
Z o'clock yesterday afternoon Chief
Cantwell located the man at Colum-
bus and Nassau streets, thus effect
ing his arrest.
The management of the Bay Fruit
Company, it developed, was also
given a check by the same man, it
is charged, and at once preferred
charges against him. 1t is said that
he ordered a peanut parcher and
forged the endorsement of A Angelo
to a check for $25.
A third charge by another fruit
company is expected to be made
against Khoury this morning, the
police said last night. -NeaOs and

MED by Messrs w S Dennis and

for Bamberg, where he was married
yesterday afternoon to Miss Gladys
Odom,a a charming yourg lady of that
place. MIR Dennis, Who has been with
the Peoples Mercantile Co here the
past two years, is native Of Kings
tree and young man Of exemplary
character and sterling qualities. He
became acquainted with Miss Odom
while soc was engaged as teacher OF
the Shaw school, near Kingstree.
Hon r J Kirk, a prominent mem
Der of the local bar, has recently
been appointed referee in bankrupt
cy by Judge Henry A M Smith Of
the United States district court, to
succeed T C Cork, Esq, of Florence,
who will shortly leave that city. 1t
is requirement of the court that
the referee make Florence his place
of residence, and as Mr. Kirk has &C.
cepted the appointment, we regret
that he will be absent from Kings
tree most of the time and expects to
remove his family to the Gate City
in the near future.
Readers of The Record will doubt
less learn with deep regret that the
editor and owner, Mr. Charles w
Wolfe, is in a very critical condition
at this time in a sanitarium at Hen
dersonville, N C,where he was taken
May % for treatment. From recent
information it seems that the phys
icians and nurses in charge have
given up hope of his recovery.
Mrs Wolfe was summoned to his
bedside last Friday and reached Hen
dersonville Saturday. In letter
received from her this morning. Mr.

SKhoury came TO Kingstree about
a year ago. Later he opened up a
cleaning and pressing business in
the Thomas building on West Main
street. Of late he has been passing
out worthless checks promiscuously
and a number of them are now in
the hands Of local merchants. Sew
eral days ago Sheriff Graham re-
ceived instructions from the Sheriff
at Spartanburg to arrest Khoury on
the charge, it is said, of passing
bogus checks. He has not been seen
in Kingstree for about three or four
weeks. 1t is thought here, that the
man is mentally unbalanced.

JAP CRUISER IS
 WRECKED IN GALE
The Asama, Valued at $2,- 500, 600, Driven Ashore on
 Lower California Coast.

San Diego, Cal, Feb. 4.-Driven ashore by violent gale which has been raging off the Lower California coast for the last five days, the Jap armored cruiser Asama, 9,750 tons valued at $2,5O0,OO0, struck on a rocky ledge at the entrance to Turtle bay Sunday afternoon and is now a total loss. The Asama struck at point about two miles north of Thurlock head, 35 miles southeast Of where the Danish ship Malakka was wrecked on Decem- Der IS, and 340 miles south of Point Loma.
 When heavy seas began to pound the warship to pieces today, United States naval officers at this port were notified, the news in the meantime having been suppressed. The 300 of- ficers and crew of the Asama are en- camped on the beach near the wreck, no lives having been lost.
 The cruiser Raleigh steamed out of this harbor at full speed at sundown bound for the scene of the wreck. To- morrow she will take aboard the off cers and crew of the Japanese ship and bring them to San Diego.
