We beg to call the attention of our readers to our Earle's correspondent's appeal for help on behalf , of Mr Joe McCants, of that community. It seems that Mr McCants is afflicted with an incurable malady which has incapacitated him for work for some months, and he has a wife and four children de nendent UDon him. We gather from the letter of our correspondent last week that the afflicted family are in almost destitute circumstances and unless something be speedily done for their relief are likely to suffer for the necessities of life. ^ It is very seldom that a white * 4 family of this county is so unfortunate as to be reduced to such extremities and we have never known such an appeal to fall on deaf ears. The people of Williamsburg, as a rule, are kind-hearted and generous and when convinced that the object is a worthy one (as we assume this to be, without knowing the family personally) their synu ithies are quickly aroused. From the information we have this familv is in urgent need and it is evident that the sooner the appeal be responded to the more good it will do them. A letter addressed to Mr Joe McCants, Trio, S C, will reach them, or we will forward any cash contributions sent to this office, acknowledging receipt of same through The Record, with the names of the contributors. % "Wonder what's the latest news from Newport News? The Eitel didn't tell much that was true to a watchful, waiting public. _____________ Dr Jacobs tells us in "Our Monthly" that he saw no buzzards in Europe during the whole time of his visit beyond the Atlantic. If there be none there now what a glorious feast our foul old scavenger birds are missing daily around the trenches! And now "Uncle Sam" has another German privateer intruding j upon his hospitality,the "Kronprinz Wilhelm" having put in at Newport News for supplies and repairs just as the country breathed free over < the interning of the "Eitel". The captain of the commerce-destroying vessel claims to have sulk fourteen merchant ?hips belonging to the Al lies since August 3, 1914. The U "Kronprinz Wilhelm" accomplish- * ed quite a clever feat of strategy when D it slipped into Newport News right under the guns of the hostile war- Li ships, and the captain Ixiasts that after getting his vessel shipshape, within ahout three weeks, lie will show his heels to the eneriiy by getting out the same way he eluded them coming in. But this boastful ^ assertion is hardly to be taken sen- j? ously. We venture the opinion that 4 the "Kronprinz Wilhelm" at the end of three weeks will meekly take its place alongside its sister ship,the ti "Eitel", already interned C ? C SOUTH CAROLINA LIQUOR LAW.
