LETTER FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

Mr.. Editor:-Will you please al
low me space in your paper for a
few items from this country, as I
never see much from South Carroll
! ma?
Crops are looking we'll and people
: nave commenced thinning cotton.
We had fine rain which will bring
cotton up to a stand. The people
have not planted so much cotton
this year as was planted last year.
Cotton is 8 1-2 cents a pound. The
writer has Is acres il cotton and
Is acres in corn. I do not suppose
lit will produce like old Jackson
does.
was up in Jakcson county last
March and was delighted to see
that Jackson was improving her
roads so much. The county in
general ought to be proud of the
road from Sylvia to the Cullowhee
mountain. It is credit TO any
county to have such roads.
notice that Mr.. Buchanan from
Glen Vile, N. c., made a guess as to
who the old gentleman who calls
himself The Old Boy is. He saws
he left Jackson shortly after Hen
derson was hung. In the year 1872
my father moved from Oconee
county. S. c., to the place now
known as Sylvia, N. c., and stayed
there during the years Is and a.
and II my memory serves me right
Baylis Henderson was hung in June
OF 73. There was man who left
jackson in the year 1874 or rs I
can't recall which, by the name of
James Frizzel and guess it is the
man who gives. his name as The
Old Boy" If I am not right I will
guess again. [ hope the old Gentle
man will continue to write to the
paper about the pioneers of jackson
as there was great many of them
whom was personally acquainted
with.
l hope Mr.. James Cathey will
continue to write as he one of the
best writer's as well as one of the
best speakers in old jackson.

T. E. Baggett, JeWeler.

Among the many business con-
Germs of Kingstree, none demon
strate a more progressive spirit of
up-to-date enterprise than the at
tractive jewelry store owned and
managed by Mr. T E Baggett.
This handsome store contains a
splendid stock Of iewelry, cut glass
and art china that appeals to the
cultivated taste Of art lovers.
The beautiful display of silver
ware and other usefuland ornamental
iewelry shows an artistic selection
that would be a credit to jewelry
stores in much larger trade centers.
A department of the store is de-
voted to watch and jewelry repair
ing, under the personal supervision
of the proprietor whose experienced
and skill is a guarantee OF satisfac-
tory workmanship. Mr. Baggett also
has in conjunction with his store a
modern and up-to-date optical de-
partment.

Wee Nee today, water it with dimes
and watch it grow is a slogan OF
the institution.
In addition to the above mention
ed banks, Williamsburg county
possesses four other substantial
banks, located at Greelyville, Hem
ingway, Johnsonville and Cades,
four of the county's municipalities.
These banks represent an aggregate
capital and surplus Of sixty thou
sand dollars, with deposits amount
ing to upwards OF one hundred and
thirty thousand dollars.
Fifteen years ago there was not a
bank in Williamsburg county and
our citizens were obliged to transact
their banking business through
Charleston banks or other outside
financial institutions. What better
evidence of the county's progress
along commercial lines could be ad-
duced than the establishment and
growth of the seven banks now doing
a successful business within her
borders?

Kinastree's Hardware Stores.

Our town charter does not pro-
vide for a King, or potentate, but
kingstree is rather blessed with the
former, for we have King the

King the hardware man, but this
is Mr. f E King of whom we would
speak now. He is head of the King
Hardware Company and he knows
the hardware business from tacks to
traction engines. Prior to the es-
tablishment of the King Hardware
Company, Mr. King was actively
connected with the Williamsburg
Hardware Company, of which firm
he is still one of the directors. MIR
Sam McGill, also formerly connect
ed with the williamsburg Hardware
Company, is member of the King

his genial and engaging personality.

OUR BANKING FACILITIES.
Seven Solid Banking Houses In
Williamsburg County.

The first bank established in
Williamsburg county was the Bank
of Kingstree which opened its doors
for business September IL, 1901,
with a capital of $1,000. The
business of this institution has
steadily advanced in scope and i'm
portance, its last called statement
showing a paid in capital of 100000
with a reasonable surplus, and de-
posits amounting to S154,OOO. Its
officers and directors are men OF
brains, integrity and all around
business efficiency, embracing law
yers, doctors, civil engineers, farm
ers and merchants. The men who
have the direct handling of its pa
irons money are courteous, polite
and efficient bankers.
The Bank Of Williamsburg, a
more recently established institu-
ton, can boast of a remarkable
progress, as is reflected by its last
called statement, showing capital
of SlO0,O00 and deposits amounting
to about twice that amount. This
bank was organized in 1906 with 4
capital of $4,000. Its organizers
are still at the head of the institu-
ton and can well be classed among
the most progressive bankers in
the South.
Kingstree'< latest acquisition in
the way of modern banding institu-
tons is the Wee Nee Bank, which
was organized in 1910 with a capital
of $4,000. 1t has become a per-
manent asset among the towns fl
nancial bulwarks, with a present
capital and surplus aggregating
nearly forty thousand dollars and
deposits of eighty odd thousand, as
will be seen by its recently publish
ed statement. The aggressiveness
and keen financial accumen of its
officers is worthy of special note.
This bank recently acquired valu-
able piece of property on the corner
of Main and Academy streets which
has been converted into modern
bank building, as will be noted from

War on Side of The Allies

learned here today The terms thus
far offered by the allies have not
proven altogether satisfactory to the
Greek statesmen. who are also await
ing guarantees OF immunity from at
tack by other Balkan States.
That portion of the Greek army whieh

with the lleot.
Roumania, according TO reports now
current in diplomatic circles. now finds
herself with free hand. Two years

the rrinlc Alliance. Since that time she
has accepted large loan from England,
bat despite this she has been waiting 10
