Prizes for Watermelons
Who raises the largest watermelons? In order to decide this question to the satisfaction of all, we have decided to offer a premium to the person who raises the largest melon this season. Our proposition is this: To the person who brings us the largest melon this summer we will give one year's subscription to the County Record. Just think of it! Besides gaining the reputation of the being the raiser of the largest watermelons, you get a copy of the County Record every week for a whole year.
In addition to the foregoing , we also offer a year's subscription free to the person who first brings us in a ripe melon this season. If you are already a subscriber to the County Record, you subscription will be "shoved up" one year from the date of its expiration. Don't allow this opportunity to escape, but get a whole year's subscription for one melon. Of course, we are not partial to melons, but our editor and entire staff are very fond of every kind of fruit. Don't let the melon offer keep you from bringing in fruit.

Fine Tobacco
Editor, County Record:
Mr. T.M. Cooper of the firm of Cooper Bros. of Fowlers, has the best field of tobacco in the county, probably. It is the finest I have seen anywhere, and I have seen lots of it. Mr. Cooper is an all-around farmer as well as a merchant, and all of his crops are looking well, his tobacco being particularly fine.

Yet More Minor Local Matters
The gay and festive mosquito is again with us for summer board and lodging. There are a good many of them this season, and all appear to have been very poorly fed.

Midnight "chicken fries" seem to be the favorite sport of certain young men of the community, but who furnishes the fowls?

More Minor Local Matters
The grass will have its innings now and will keep the farmers busy for a time.
Our base ball team should get up some games with the clubs from other towns.
The crops all over the county are reported as in good condition and looking well.
How long will it be before Kingstree will have an "original package" grog-shop?

Width of Public Roads
Editor, County Record
Will you please tell me and for the benefit of your subscribers what is the width of the public roads as required by law?
Several of our county commissioners do not even know the law upon this subject, and I want them to see this article.
