Bristow, impelled I by patriotic motives, lias left, the editorial sanctum ot the County: .Record for the "tented field.*' As his successor for the time, I have laken charge of the editorial department of the paper. With limited experience in news-paper writing I undertake this work with j some misgivings: and 1 beir that i ihe public will overlook whatever shortcomings are apparent, espec'lallir fnr fl?o first fovv i i,o ; policy of the paper will remain the same?a conservative and imgi partial treatment of the topics of Ihedav. The nrimary function of > 4 a news-paper is to give its subscribers the neics, and it shall be . my constant purpose to keep them r , informed as to current events.. The Record will be issued from ? i. m.. u...- . ? v. iu w cvri\ uimjj u i. xjumdw return, and communications from f 1 him as to the progress of the war, ashesepsit, will be published from lime to time. % There need' be no fears to the j permanency of The Record. It is' here to stay, and will give its sub scribers the news long after tlie^ war with Spain has ceased to be ' talKed about. Promising mv best efforts to sustain the present high standard of the County Record, Iain, Respectfully, . . , C. W. Wolfe. :y ' I k : . ' Our Soldier BoyS. It is a gratifvng i'aet that most.ol the volunteers from South Carolina i are young men. These gallant young sohiiers stand ready to give " V their lives to maintain their country's honor, as did their fa1 hers hefore them. This is a good sign, showing that the spark patriotism lhat has ever flowed in ihe hrorust* 1 of the men of South Carolina is as ready to burst into llame now as it was in the past. When a nation holds honor to be a mere abstraction and patriotism a shadowy dream, it does pot taed a Daniel to foretell its decay. These volunteers a:e not mere visionaries like Don Quixote and Sancho "Vanza in search of advent tire; but manycf them have given up good positions and are ready to l'ace the perils of war and disease in ;tll the earnestness of true manhood. The Mohammedons believe that a soldier "who lulls fighting for his raiigion goes straight to heaven, where the highes' honors are reserved for him. Scarcely less de serving, we think, is tlie soldier who dies in the battle lor hi; country. Nearly all of thecanvasback ducks ^gaten in the United States come from Alaska. They start on their south' I em tour at the close of summer. i . Our Nwe Navy.
