'I With thi# issue of The County j Kecord we close our first year as! it# editor, and that it has been a year of prosperity for the paper is' shown by the letter Irom i i our paper house which is pub. ;*V j i v V. lisbed on the first page of today's issue. When we assumed control the Tek County Record it was a four-page sheet with a little over 650 subscribers; now rt is an eight page sheet and has a weekly cir-i ? eolation of over 1,350?a net gain of nearly 700 subscribers in one year.

We feel very grateful to the patrons of The County Record far their patronage, and we feel sore that the pleasant relations now existing between the management of the paper and its readers a will con'inue indefinately. I The Florence correspondent of the News and Courier la$t Monday g said: . A SI was told to-day by a gentleman who. had been talking with one of the men who is working up- the case against the lynchers of Baker at Lake City. 8 C, that several arrests will be made within the next few days. That the detectives in nn?Mttnn had verv near a dozen I witnesses who will be able to furnish sufficient testimony to convict the lynchers and every one of the lynchers are negroes. I' is 7 hoped thaWthese are facts and that it will turr\ out as above stated that ffe members of the murdered man's own race."' ?" The News and Courier, in an editorial comment, said: O'nr Florence correspondent says that preparations have been made ftnr the arrest of a number of persons " susflectad of being implicated in -rv. the -Lake City lynching, and that all the suspected persons "are negroes." Heaven save the mark! W e hope that this diabolical plot will be abandoned at once. To try to murder a whole family of negroes because its head was a postmaster, and actually killing the postmaster and his baby, is shocking enough 'n all conscience,j but to go to work to cast suspicion upon other negroes with a view of hanging them in order to save the necks of the real jplpirts is even a greater crime. If the murderers of Baker and his child were negroes, and the fact can be proven beyond a rea sonable doubt, then we say let the ? ?i? J: J ii j J a*. _ negroes -w no uiu me umi suuer lor their crime. We have no sympathy with the perpetrators of the foul act, whether they be white or j black, and want to see the guilty parties suffer, but the News and Courier should not object to the punishment of negroes if negroes killed the postmaster. Since the death of Baker it has been shown conclusively that he was not at all popular with his own race, and it is posible that some of his own color, knowing how the whites felt. toyards their colored postmaster, decided to kill him, thinking that the crime would ' be thrown off on the citizens of 1 Lake City. We do not say this is true: but if it is true, then the ne gtoes fthould suffer. We have ' I ' V of. ' / condemned the crime in unmeasur edterms do not throw anything at all in the way of the detectives. If they can fiid evidence to convict white men. let them bo convicted. It they can convict negroes, then let the negroes be con victcd. The chairman yf the prohibition committee in this county has call- j el a meeting of the prohibitionists | for Saturday, A pril 2nd, to e'ect delegates to the State convention which meets in Columbia April 14th, for the purpose ol nominating a State ticket.

A Popular Acditor. Ef.lttor, County Record:? In speaking of the probable candidates in your issue of March 10th, von said that there was some doubt as to the candidacy of auditor Ilanna. If h* will comply with the wishes of his friends he will run. On the first Mouday in March, I beard some gentlemen ask him if lie was going to run, and he said if it was the w ish of the people the people he would. He was told that it was their w ish and from what I can learn I think it is the wish of the people all over the county. Auditor Hanna is such a clever anil accomodating gentleman, that all who know < him want to keep him in office, and heiiR said to be the second best auditor in the State. ^Greeley fille, SC.. B.

I-" mm~~ The bladder wascreated for one purpose. namely, a receptcle for the urine and as such it is not liable to any form of diseases except by one or two ways. The tirst way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second is from! careless local treatment of other dis-l eases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy1 kidneys is the chief cause of bladder*j trouble. So the womb, like the blad- j ber. was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not Jianie to weakness or disease, except in rare i cases. It is situated of and very clow to the bladder, therefore any pain, j disease or inconvenience manifested! in tlie kidneys, back, bladder, or uni-' nary.passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or wombj trouble of some sort. The error is1 ensily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four houra sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
