ANNOUNCEMENT.
Uavs"Ag: determined to start a '
newspaper at Georgetown, the;
editor ol The Record from now on j
spends a part ot his time in that
aity, This arrangement will cause!
no change in the present manage-j
uie.rt, Th,e tv.o papers will be
anuer the same editorial and justness
management, although the
two offices from which they are;
issued, will be separate and dis- *
" !
Unct,
A complete and up to- dale
newspaper and job out lit is being i
put in at Georgetown, and the;
mechanical departments of the'
i
papers will be lirst-ciass .in e.very |
respect. The Georgetown paper
will be issued weekly at $1 o > a ,
year; but the two papers will be j
furnished to lite same subscribers j
I 1
at a clubbing rate of $2 00 j>er!
annum,
j
With n inh dpnnrtnient. both at
liingstrce and at Georgetown, we
sball be prepared to do any kind !
oj" work in that line, adhering to
our original motto, Cheapness,
neatness and dispatch."
In assuming the management (
Ojf,the two newspapers it is with a J
l^ill realization of the weighty re-!
sponsiwility devolving upon me, I
and I shall spare no eilbrt to!
prove myself o<^ua 1 to . the under-taking.
To give the news in a'
fair and impartial manner; to!
bring both papers u-p to the high-!
est standard of weekly journal-1
ism of which 1 am capable, and to!
keep in closer touch thaj ever be-j
lore <be sister counties, of Wil-j
'vam&burg and Georgetown?these j
are some of. the.things I shall, en-[
deavor to accomplish.
To those friends who have stood
i
by me since I entered t he lipid ot'
newspaper work, I, ta!ce this op - [
pprtunity of expressing my heart- [
iclt thanks for their kindly aid
and co-operation and to assure
them that 1.shall at all tipies look*
as closely as ever after the inter- L
ests of The Kkcoi'J). A compe-i.
tent man has been employed as j
local editor, and enough of mv j
time will be spent here^ch week
tQ see that the paper is issued- as j.
yegulariyami.punctually .is usual.!
From time to. time such im j
provemeaU will be made in the .
piiper a& are expedient, and in this
t|^e initial year ot lbe uew century
its prospects are brighter than

A DUTY WE OWE.
Some months a?:o a movement
was started to raise funds to erect
.? monument in honor of the Confederal
e dead of Williamsburg
County. Since the project was
started sufficient time has elapsed
to have raised tho money,.and yet
we understand that but a Jew dol-J
lars nave been collected:
In this age of materialism we
are apt to forget our obligation
to the past. The debt that we
owe to the men who sacrificed
their lives on their country's altar
cannot be measured by dollars j
and.cenis. In honoring them we i
honor ourselves, and we owe it
to ourselves to show in a tangi-j
hie way the esteem in which their I
memory is held.
The estimated cost of the monument
is #*2,000. The quality ol
courage displayed by the men ol
Williamsburg demands that nothing
clu ap be o lie red to their memory.
Among tho bravest ot the
brave, the flower of the Confederate
army, they marched to battle,
many of them to die and be buried
in lonely and neglected graves.
To commemorate their deeds
and to show that they yet live
in our hearts-is the object of thi>

ruunumeni. in 1110101.1 luiuiauc.", j
last passing away t> join them in j
the spirit land, it would be a
source of joy and pride.
Oilier counties have already
honored in monumental marble
their dead who wore the gray.
There were none braver than they j
who went from Williamsburg, j
Let us not tail in our duty toward j
them.
SHOU1X) SUCCEED 11IMSZLF. j
Senator Ilav, who thought ol j
opposing Judge Ernest Gary for;
judge ot the fifth circuit, has. it isj
reported,decided not to enter the)
race. This will probably leave
Judge Gary without opposition,
which 3s as it should be.
In the scramble Lor oflice at-1
lending the earlv clays of the Re- j
form movement pressure was
brought to bear on .Judge Gary to
oppose Judge Kershaw. This he
decline J to do; nor did he aspire j
to tin? judicial ermine until his'
venerable predecessor had been !
removed, full of years and honors,!
by the hand of death. Moreover.;
Judge Gary is entitled, to another)
term.for more than sentimental'
reasons. Possessed of fine legal j
ability, there are lew men in South ]
Carolina as well qualified tor. the i
high and honorable position that!
he holds, if is record, as a judge
is above reproach, lli.v knowledge
of' the law is evidenced by
the hut that hi? decisions have!
been reversed fewer times.than]
any of his associates on the bench.)
Ilis scholarly attainments,, his
magnetic personality and exalted
character admit of no question,
bv all means.. Judge Gjtrv should !
. ' i
succeed himself on the bench.

THE TIME EXTENDED.
The first bill on the calendar j
at the preseut session of the leg-'
isluture was introduced by lion.
Josh Ashlew of Anuersor, with a i
view to extending the lime, for.the j
payment of taxes to ilarcli 1.
The bill had passed its third readily;
when the commission, consisting,
of the governor, tli? attorney
! general and the comptroller iimi-1
jeral, which is empowered J to ex-j
j tend the time lor n-ning taxes,}

j
[ unnecessary !:?c; passage c?f the!
Ashley bill, it oeinu; understood!
jlhat the senate approves the ac!
tion ol the comniisaior.
It is somewhat surprising that j
the attempt was made this year toj
exienu ilie u.ue n;r juiynm ia.\c>.;
i II there ever was n time when the
I Slate was in a prosperous condi-j
! tiou it is- this lull. How it will,
be any easier to pay taxes in Feb-;
rtiary or March than December, it
will lake me combined wisdom of j
a legislature lo decipher.
CHARLESTON'S TRIUMPH.
The board of naval officers ap-i
i pointed to consider the removal or
the naval station from I'ort Royal j
to Charleston lias made public its:
report recommending the latter)
city, and Charleston is happy. It j
was a foregone eoncluston that
1 I'ort Royal would lose the station.
The disinterested zeal s'own by
Senator Tillman in Charleston'.-1
behalf will cement the bonds of i
| friendship more firmly than ever I
between that city and its erstwhile
i foe. Charleston has won the na-1
1 i
I va! station, and it is a safe pre- ,'
diction to say that Tillman has!
won C harleston. j
i Tho net annual profits of the j
j dispensary for the past eleven;
months exceed $5Gf>,090.
