1t is expected that the ceremony
will be timed to begin about o'clock
in the afternoon.
There will be speeches by Premier
Clemenceau as chairman of the con-
ference and by the head of the German
delegation. The actual work of APP

New Enterprise For Kingstree

On another page of The Record to-
dav will be found a half page an
nouncement of the opening here OF
a new concern, known as the Build
ers Supply Co. 1t is a recently lncor-
porated company and we feel that
Kingstree is fortunate in having

up such a business as they propose
to carry on. The incorporators are
Messrs. L. N. Bagnal and Homer
Clark of Columbia, and ]. D. O'Bry-
an, ESQ.,, of this place. The name
adopted is significant, as the firm will
carry a stock of and deal exclusive
ly in builders supplies such as are set
forth in the advertisement. Mr.. Clark
will be in charge of the business and
expects to make his permanent resi-
dence in Kingstree. He is already
looking for house.

CANNOT QUALIFY
Jail Sentence Bars Him Says Assis-
tant Attorney General.

Ernest L. Jacobs, nominated from
Ward 10 in the Charleston municipal
Democratic primary election August
19 as ward alderman cannot be seat
ed, if elected in the general election
December 4, according to an opinion
handed down in Columbia last Thurs
day night by the office of the attor-
ney general, written by Capt. Nor
ris C. Lumpkin, the assistant.
The opinion takes the position that
if the allegations brought against Ja-
cobs are correct that he was convict
ed in Jasper county in July, 1917, OF
misrepresenting himself as an insur-
ance agent and unlawfully collecting
money he cannot receive registra-
ton certificate.
Interpreted, this means that Ja-
cobs cannot qualify and therefore, is
inhibited under the constitution from
being elected or appointed to office.

Rally Day at Greelyville

Greelyville, Oct. l5.-Rally Day
was observed here Sunday afternoon
at the Presbyterian church. The
church was crowded and many could
rot gain adpittance to hear the
splendid exercises.
J A report showing the thriving con-
dition of the Sunday school and the
excellent work done during the past
year was made by the secretary,
Nj J. F. Montgomery.
The address was made by Prof. NJ.
F. Montgomery, Gree!yville boy who
has attained high rank among the
prominent Sunday school workers of
the State. His address was principal
ly to the teachers of the Sunday
school, and he showed that without
purpose, preparation, power, and pa
tience no teacher can hope to have
great success. Mr.. Montgomery is
gifted speaker and his address was
thoroughly enjoyed.
A service flag erected when six of
the young men of the Sunday school
entered the service of our country
was lowered during the exercises.
The music by the choir was not only
appropriate but among the best ever
heard here. The superintendent, Mr..
w. NJ. O'Bryan, had charge of the
exercises. Following is the program:

IN MEMORIUM

Died five years ago today Mrs
Fannie c. Hanna.
Memory is the only thing that grief
can call its own,
Days of sadness, still come over US
tear and sorrow silently flow,
For memory keeps you ever near
though heaven claimed you five
years ago.
No night in yonder home above,
No. sorrow there where all is love;
No heavy burden there to bear;
No darkness there where all is fair;
No parting there from those love
No sorrow there in that home above
Mother.

Rumors of a new hotel, a steam
laundry, additional tobacco ware
houses, prize houses, a stemary and
drying plant are very gratifying,
and would indicate that the progress
sive spirit is stiTl alive in Kingstree.
We sincerely trust that every one
of these proposed Enterprises will
develop into complete success. But
even with all this new activity which
seems to be alert in our town, there
is a fundamental principle of growth
and stability which apparently, is be-
ing entirely overlooked, and unless
this principle is recognized as apra-
mount and acted upon accordingly,
Kingstree, so far as real development
is concerned, is finished product
right row.
We refer to home-building. There
is a scarcely of houses for rent winch
is indeed alarming. There are SER
eral, probably a dozen, instances of
recent occurrence where the owner
ship of property has changed hands,
titles bought and paid for, yet the
purchasers are unable to get posses
sion for the reason that there are no
places to which present occupants
can move, except into the open street
or out of town, and by the way, we
know of at least a few who are max
ing arrangements to go to Andrews
and elsewhere simply because the
houses in which they have lived have
been sold, and there are no others to
be obtained
Unless speedily remedied this con-
dition will spell the death of Kings
tree.
Within the past few months good
men have accepted positions in our
town and have had to give them up
because they could not get accom-
modations for their families.
Our school teachers are being sore
ly tried by being obliged to room
here and there and take their meals
blocks away because of the conges-
ton in the homes of the town. This
is, to say the least, disgrace. The
school and its interests, if nothing
else, deserves a better deal. We are
not complaining of the hospitality OF
our people, for in this respect a bet
ter people cannot be found, but we
are pointing to serious situation
hoping that steps will be taken fol
its relief.
Inquiries are constantly coming II
from prospective citizens and the
only reply that can be made is o.
such a nature that it turns them away
from Kingstree and to other towns
The town is already overcrowded.
Yes, Kingstree's growth has stop
ped unless the men of means in thi.
community do something to help di
vert such calamity. Our Building
: and Loan Association, seems to hav'
dropped out of the running, so far a
building homes is concerned, yet tn
Association is fourishing and capa
BILE of supplying a portion of the de
mand for new homes. No better ser
vice could be done than for each o
its members to make borrow an
build house, whether for his Owl
