why not purchase a shave for

gested one of his travelling mates.
"You'n be home tomorrow"
But Gardner was Mortified at the
thought II simply happens to be
one of his most earnest desires that
no barber or person other than him
self shall ever shave him.
Rep. Young of North Dakota went
to speak in a small town in his state
year or so ago. and something was
wrong with the lights in the little
meeting house. A man living in the
neighborhood provided a big Ian
tern, with a reflector back Of it. and
that was the only illumination in
the entire building. When Young
was about half way through his
/ speech, the proprietor of the Ian
tern suddenly took down his light
off its hook and stalked out with
! it. leaving the meeting in darkness,
and putting an abrupt end 10 what
would have been a thoroughly illumi-
mating talk
| had said something with which the
lantern owner was not in thorough
accord.
Shortly before DR.. Constantin
/ Dumba, the Austrian comedian. was
sent back home. bunch Of New
| York newspapermen called TO see
him and found him in a peevish
| mood.
Go on away" said he. go ay-
way"'
But listen, old man." suggested
one reporter Aren't you the one
who is to go away?"
on the day that the McLemore
! resolution to keep Americans off
armed ships was up for considera-
| ton in the house, Congressman
| Jimmy Gallivan made a speech in
! which he said some rough things
about the so-called author Of the
resolution. declaring in substance
| that McLemore didn't know what it
was all about. but was enjoying a
little fieeting notOriety The funny
thing was, by the way, that while
/ the house and the whole country
was more or less worked up about
! the outcome of the vote, scarcely
any OF the house members even
| knew what McLemore looked like
/ Friends Of McLemore went TO him
and urged him TO reply to Gallivan
and not let a fellow from Boston get
away with such big talk.
Presently McLemore arose TO make
a speech. and Gallivan resigned him
self to being handled in a way that
would shrivel him up like dried beef
But McLemore's speech was as
follows:
Il am very glad Of this opportun-
ity 10 meet the members"
That was practically all he said.
The next day, however. Gallivar
was startled 10 see McLemore come
| walking into his office. Knowine
that McLemOre was from Texas
where men shoot sometimes on slight
provocation, Gallivan couldn't hell
wondering If the visitor carried q
gun, and If so. how large a gun il
was-also if the man intended tC
use it.
McLemore looked him straight in
the eve and these words ne did say.
Pardon me. sir, but may use
your telephone"
And that's all there was 10 that.

When a Lad Meets a Maid.

Old heads who forget that they
were once young find much amuse-
ment in watching a young lad when
he meets a maid on the street. We
stood on corner the other day and
watched an eminent citizen of ma
ture years as he in turn gazed upon
bashful and blu,hing youth.
No, we won't tell you OF the am
using dignity and decorum of the
lad and the maid, for we have been
guilty of the same antics away back
in days that will never come again.
But it was amusing to our eminent
citizen and we think he was quite
as amusing to us.
But the next time you are on the
street and a lad and a maid meet
face to face, and you suspect that
there is a tender feeling between
them, just remember the golden
days Of your own youth, and see
not those things that you are sup
posed not to see.

Our National Honor.

This is time when every citizen
Of the United States, either native
or foreign born, should rally to the
flag of his country. Whether it be
by the bearing of arms or by the
expression of loyalty in sentiment
and action, our country should have
the undivided support of every per-
son. 1t is not the time for haggiing
or criticism or for the indulgence in
political Juggling OF the interests Of
the people.
We want unity of purpose and of
action by a united people and for a
united people and nothing else.
The Mexican leaders appear de-
termined to force us to a conflict OF
arms, and if It must come it is the
duty of every citizen to be a citizen
i'm fact as well as in name. Half
hearted loyalty is not to be consid-
cred.
When the national honor and
protection Of the lives and property
rights Of our people are in jeopardy
political considerations and party
strife should be relegated to the rear
leaving in it's wake a nation welded
together by the chains of an un-
quenchable fire of patriotism.
Our national honor is in the bal
ance today. 1t must be upheld at
any cost and under all circumstance
es and conditions.

The representative of this well
known and popular firm in this coun-
ty is Mr. Samuel D Carr, who has the
management of the Florence branch.
He is brother of Mr. w H Carr.
manager of the Kingstree Hardware
Co, and came to Kingstree in the
winter of 1913 from Minneapolis,
MINI, where he was connected with
one of the leading music houses of
that city, but the death Of his wife
brought him South and to Kingstree
on a visit to his brother, who was
anxious for him to remain in the
South. While thus here, the Siegling
Music House, old patrons of The
County Record. advertised in its
want" column for an experienced
representative in this territory. Mr.
Carr's attention was called to the ad
and he went to Charleston to see MIR
Siegling. He secured the position
and has made good. No more sub
stantial evidence of this could be Of
fered than the mere fact that about
two years ago the Siegling Music
House opened a branch establish
ment in Florence and placed MIR Carr
in charge of it. His 30 years expe.
rience in the piano business makes
his knowledge Of this particular in
strument worth the consideration of
prospective purchasers.

Appeal for More Recruits.

Editor County Record
Please allow me q few lines of
your valuable space to make an ap-
peal to the young men of Williams
burg county.
AS we all know, the trouble be-
tween our government and Mexico
will sooner or later come to a head.
1t may be postponed for time. but
we must be prepared. The United
States has between two hundred and
three hundred thousand troops eth
er on or on their way to the border.
Of that number about half are Nat
ional Guardsmen. This State has
furnished her quota, but how many
has Williamsburg furnished? This
good old county is not represented
by single company.
If serious consequences arise the
President will undoubtedly call for
volunteers. There are a number of
men ia this county who will volun-
teer at that time. Every man has a
duty he owes to his country and that
duty must be met.
Now. have been authorized by
the government to raise company
of volunteers for service when the
President shall call for them. de-
sire especially Citadel and Clemson
men, but anyone wishing to join, be-
tween the ages of 1S and 35 and un-
married, will be cheerfully received.
This movement is Statewide and
l we'll know Williamsburg is not go
ing to be behind the rest. l desire
two experienced men for Lieaten-
ants, Citadel of Clemson men pre-
ferred.
All applications for membership
in this company must be addressed
to Henry, S C. Williamsburg county.
Let's everybody set together and
show them what Williamsburg can
do. Very truly yours,
EW YATES, JR, Citadel '13.
Henry, July 8, 1916.
