will deal with the preparation of

should be of interest to every farm.
er in this county, especially those
who raise wheat, and help to those

should also prompt US to keep neat
premises.
Some citizens have complained
that the town carts get around so
seldom that it is hard to get the
waste material off of their lots after
it is piled up for them. The reason
the carts are slow in making their
rounds is because they have to spend
so much time doing the work the
business men ought to do themselves.
Mr. Business Man. it is not the duty
of the town to clean up your prem
ises. If you will clean them up and
put the trash convenient for the
carts to get, the service given by
the town force will be much better.
We urge that every citizen see to
it that his premises are cleaned up
at once, and thus help beautify our
town. 1t will be splendid advertise
ment for Kingstree.

Clean Up Back Lots.

1t has been called to our attention
BY the town authorities that many
Of the lack lots in the business and
residential sections of the town are
slthy. full of boxes. paper, excelsior,
tin cans, etc. This matter has been
called to the attention of the citizens
many times through the columns Of
The Record, but without much
effect.
i A clean town as a rule is healthy
town, and it is our duty as citizens
to keep our premises clean of tin
cans, standing weeds, and such 9TH
er refuse as is allowed to accumu-
late, and thus prevent disease break
ing out. We should consider this
condition not from health stand
point alone, but also from the stand
point of fire. The cleaner we keep
our premises, especially in the busi-
ness district, the less chance there
is of fire breaking out. One reason
why the fire insurance rates are so
high throughout the country is be-
cause so much waste material is al
lowed to accumulate, making good
place for the casually thrown lighted
cigarette stump to do its costly
work. Pride in the appearance of
our business places, front and rear,

A Foreword to Voters.

Before another issue of The Rec-
ord is published there will have
been held a nominating primary for
the election of Mayor, Aldermen
and one member or the Public Works
Commission for the town of Kings
tree. In this issue will be found
the names of those who are offering
themselves for these several posi-
tions-all of whom are we'll known
citizens. Others may enter the
race before the campaign comes to
q close.
AS has already been pointed out
in these columns. Kingstree is an
important town. It's business in
terests have increased tremendously
in the past few years, and are grow
ing larger as the days come. The
tobacco market alone, within the
short space of forty-five days.
brought a million dollars to our
people. the social interest-one OF
the towns jewels-is beckoning for
a strong hand and a steady guide.
The educational life demands protec-
ton, as it seeks to unfold the pos
sibilities of posterity. Religious
and fraternal interests are praying
for sympathetic authority that will
make easier their path, and their pro-
gress more substantial. The civic and
economic welfare turns for relief
to those who handle the towns
finances.
'Tis true that by comparison with
former years there are many i'm
provements, but among these one
cannot help but notice in some IN
stances, lack of permanency. The
bi.annual election furnishes an op-
portunity for the citizens to register
their approval. their protests and
their demands. Those selected for
directing the towns affairs should
be able to read from the ballots the
wishes of the people. and should not
hesitate in becoming obedient ser.
wants.
1t is incumbent upon the voter,
however. to pool the candidates in
such a manner as to produce CO.
operative power and united effort,
which can come only through a
body of Councilmen selected by rea-
son of their fitness. ability, broad
ness, sincerity and usefulness
a willingness to disagree and work
on when unanimous agreement be-
comes impossible.
In casting our ballots let's re-
member that it's not for q motive
political, personal. friendly, fnan-
cial, or any other except from pur-
est purpose to install set of Off
GERS who will exercise character,
thrift. economy; and who will unite
their efforts as one man for the
betterment, and preservation of the
towns ideals.
