letter from this city, Mrs. S. c. Burton
writes as follows: 81 think it is my duty
to tell you what your medicine, Cardui,
the woman's tonic, has done for me.
Twas down sick with wonanly trouble,

By the way, doesn't that still
pid phrase, 'War is HE'LL cred
tied Cor debited) to William
Tecumseh Sherman, become
monotonous, if not boresome, when
one sees it quoted about a half dozen
times day, if he reads many news
papers? It's even claimed that Sher-
man never said it, but we believe
from his actions that he did, and,
for goodness sake, give him all the
benefit of the doubt. Every social
ed military hero must have some
catch phrase associated with his
name for the benefit of a grateful
and admiring posterity. If that lu-
rid phrase is the best thing his press
agents could find that poor old Te-
cumseh could get off, he is freely
welcome to it and all the glory it
implies; but please don't spring it
on us too often.

Death of Mr. Sol PereS.

Mr. Sol Peres, for the past four.
teen years merchant of this place,
died at his home on Mill street Sat.
urday of last week, after short
illness from Bright's disease. MI
Peres was recognized as one of
Kingstree's best citizens and was
popular not only among the Jewish
business men of the town, but all
others. He always took an active
interest in public matters pertaining
to the upbuilding of the town and
was elected member of the town
council at the last municipal election.
Mr. Peres was about 40 years of
age and leaves wife and three
little boys. His remains were taken
to Darlington Sunday morning,
where interment was made in the
Jewish cemetery. DR. Isaac Mar.
cusson of Charleston conducted the
funeral services. Mr. Peres was an
officer in the Masonic Lodge. here
and an enthusiastic member of the
local board of trade.
Among those from Kingstree at
tending the last sad rites were:
Messrs NJ H Jacobs, w H Dubose,
R Gee, Harry Riff, Charles Tucker
and A Rockwell. The three last
named were active pall-bearers, the
others were honorary pail-bearers.

A member of the State Senate,
Senator Werner OF Oconee, unless
we are mistaken, introduced a bill
looking to the installation of moving
picture machines as a part of the
equipment in all the public schools.
1t is the discussion of such freak
bills that fritters away the time of
the Legislators and impedes the Sc
rious consideration of proposed
measures really worth while. What
on earth would a twenty-four dollar
a month teacher, with possibly a
half dozen pupils and practically no
facilities for teaching them, do with
a $3.50 moving picture apparatus?
And the cost to the State would, per-
haps require another mill tax levy.
What the schools of our State and
county need more than anything
else are: Better paid and better
trained teachers; better school
houses; better equipment, such as
up-to-date text books, desks, maps,
globes, black boards, pianos, play
grounds and, above all, trus-
tees who are capable and interested
in building up the schools. We are
speaking generally, of course. There
are schools in this county-and rural
schools, at that-that approach the
ideal, but we fear they are shining
exceptions.

VOX GRADED SCHOOL.

Vox, March 7:-Seeing nothing in
your columns from Vox rural grad
ed school, the thought comes--not
dead but speechless." We haye not
been talking. but in spite of the
tough fall, we have been doing things.
The install !ation of new single
desks, a full set Johnston's maps,
globe. library with fifteen dollars
in farm readers, the organization of
a tomato club. corn club, flower
club, home keepers club and last,
but not least, the unveiling of the
portraits of Gen Lee and Gen Wash
ington, and the hosting of our flag,
which has been the zenith of our
efforts. These good things, supple
mented by State aid, which means
an eight months term. have so en-
thused our school, that; we feel like
a young Samson.
We are about to undertake to re-
model our building, though it is
new. A plan has been submitted
and accepted from Clemson archi-
tect, which will give us an up-todate,
capacious building, with cloak rooms,
music room and lavatory, with rolling
doors between to throw all into an
auditorium.
We so much needed our audito-
rum when, Friday evening, friends
and patrons gathered at the school
building, though the rain poured, to
be entertained as follows:

To Correspondents.

Our correspondents would save
us a whole lot of unnecessary men
tai wear and tear if they would OBJ
serve the following few little, simple
rules:
Always sign your real name to
your letter, not necessarily for pub
lication, but as 81 guarantee of good
faith.
Always mail your letter in time
reach us not later than Tuesday
noon.
Always allow us to write the head
lines to your articles. 1t is rule
among newspapers that the editor
be allowed this privilege, which is
about all the pleasure and profit
many of us get out of the newspaper
business.
Always write your letter as legibly
as you can, especially proper names
and, more especially, initials. AL
ways, when practicable, give the
name of the place a person comes
from or goes to in writing per
sonals'.
Always try to inject some life and
originality into your letters, but do
not become Extensively personal or
dilate on trifes.
Always try to avoid mentioning
the name of one person or family in
every letter. It becomes tiresome
not only to our readers, but to the
persons themselves. We have had
in a so-called news" letter the
name of one or two persons to ap-
pear not less than half dozen times
in hardly a half column of space.
The foregoing is entirely imper-
sonal aimed at no one in particular,
and we hope no one of our esteem
ed correspondents will so misunder-
stand our motive.

him that he might, and directed
him to the part of the building

mains" then turned to leave. By

eighteenth year under the present
editorial management.
Many interesting events have TAX
en- place during these thirty years
and the files of The Record since
1885, when the first copy was issued
by Col R c Logan, would make
interesting local history.
When we bought The Record in
1898, the town was made up OF a
ailapidated brick court house and
Jail and few wooden buildings.
The village, /" as it was called, con-
tanned a population of about six
hundred. The paper had a SUBJ
sscription list of about six hundred.
The good will," a Washington
hand press and a few hundred
pounds of worn-out type comprised
the outfit. The entire shop was not
much bigger than our present press
room. Travelling men spoke sneer-
ingly of Kingstree as the only full
grown" town in the State.
But an era of prosperity swept
over the South about that time and
Kingstree took the tide at its flood,
and soon a new town replaced the
antiquated, sleepy village, so that

would say, to return to our NUT
TONS" The past two years have been
fraught with misfortune and afflic-
ton to the editor, which, of course,
besides entailing a heavy expense,
has handicapped our efforts. But
we still live, and the old paper. as
long as we are its guiding intelli-
gence, will continue to stand for
what we deem the highest and best,
morally, spiritually and materially.
We thank our friends for their
loyal support and encouragement
during all these years and bespeak
their continued confidence
