A Hopeful Sign.
A man in the upj>er part of the
State became conscience-stricken recently
on account of having defrauded
a cotton mill out of five dollars
by selling it a bale of water-packed
cottou aud refunded that amount to
the mill. .It is a hopeful and encouraging
sign to see men's consciences
thus quickened, and maybe some
of the hardened old sinners who after
reading this paper for several years
' without paying a cent for it will
-finally come up and pay this honest
debt. If men would only be honest
I
in their dealings with one another
how soon the millenium would
?ome:
"Something to Fill Up."
Very often it happens that one of
V*
our readers sees something in another
newspaper that exactly accords
with his views .on a certain ir.bject
' and it pleases him so well that he
clips the article and sends it to us for
f poWicaton. Now we appreciate
thfile attentions and are always glad
' tio accommodate our friends when it
is practicable to do so, but in many
instances the clippings thus submitted
are so long that to publish them
would cut into the space we always
reserve for local and county affairs.
* In not publishing these articles we
are doubtless often misunderstood. It
is bard for the public to realize how
much a country newspaper is handi
capped at times. One week perhaps
we have all the space needed and
really tiad difficulty in obtaining
news enough?local news, we mean?
to "fill up;" then maybe the next
Week there comes in enough matter
to fill a paper twice the size of our
vehicle of thought."
At all times we give the preference
to local matters and the discussion
of topics of coun!y interest We get
hundreds of exchanges every week,
to that tbere would be not the slightest
difficulty in filling our columns
with reprint selections, many of
which are of literary and intrinsic excellence.
But in onr opinion the
only excuse for the existence of a
' county newspaper is to furnish county
news. There are many other
r; papers coming to Dur subscribers;
but we flatter ourself that The Re"
CORD has its own particular little j
niche to fill?one that is not occu j
* - ' -i M 1 1. I
pied by any otner paper?aim whcu ;
we are convinced that we fail to reflect
the deeds and opinions of those
who inhabit our own little circumscribed
sphere, then will we consider J
cur usefulness ended and be ready to
give place to some more worthy sue- j
eessor in the field of local journalism.

A Plea for School Libraries. i
Under, the Aull act, allosiou to 1
? thich is made by the superiuten- \
dent of education in his notice pu.b- 1
w
lished elsewhere in this issue, these
are same schools in this county enMfV.l
to S ate aid in establishing
Lo b libraries. As we remember it
(we have not a copy of the bill at1
ha ul) the law provides that any pub {
lie school that raises ten dollars j
for library purposes may have this
amount supplemented by ten dollars
ftorn the State, up to the numIter
of twelve libraries in each
county. Three schools, we are informed,
have complied with the pro
visions of the act, which leaves the
county still entitled to State aid for
nine more more school libraries. On i
December 31 of this year the time i
limit under the Aull act will expire.
It seems strange that only three
schools have up to now taken advantage
of the act referred to.
While it is true that twenty dollars
is a small sum to start a library
with, yet how mauy schools ill the
comity are there whose pupils have
access to 110 books save the prescribed
text books? Everything has
to have a beginuiug and once a library
is started and the interest of
a community aroused to the advantages
of sui.h an adjunct to its
school, it is generally the case that
the number of books keeps steadily
increasing. Moreover, we believe,
the State board of education has arranged
with certain publishers to
furnish these library books to schools
at wholesale prices and in that way
the sum invested will go much farther
than might be supposed.
By all means let the boys and
girls of niue schools in the
coun ty bestir themselves and promptly
raise ten dollars each so as to be
eligible to claim the balnace of the
rural library fund to which Williamsburg
county seems to be entitled.
A horrible wreck occurred last
Saturday ou the Southern railroad,
near Knoxville, Tenu., in which
fifty-four people were killed outright
and about thrice that number injured.
Since the accident occurred
the death list has grown to sixtytwo
and the complete list of the injured
as given by the railroad officials
numbers 162. The wreck resulted
from a collision caused by
disobedience of orders by the engineer,
who answered with his life
this deieliction of duty.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Courier states authoritatively
that after an interview between
President P.ooeevelt and John
G Capers?the renegade who holds
the office of district attorney in South
Carolina?it was decided to put out
white Republican candidates for congress
in every district in South Carolina.
Suiely this announcement will
wake up the Democrats of the Sixth
district Remember there is only
one more opportunity to register Monday,
October 3, before the general
section.
We publish this week an appeal to
Democratic voters from State Chairman
Wilie Jones, urging them to go
to the polls and vote for the nominees
of the party. When the need
of an overwhelming majority in the
South has been so frequently and so
urgently impressed upon the people
of this and other States, it seems
that an appeal like this shonld not
be necessary at this time, when there
is a good chance of electing a Democratic
president; and yet the experience
of former election years demonstrates
the fact that only about 50 <
per cent, of the white men of our j
State, who in the primary pledge
themselves to support the nominees,
I
iiave sufficient regard for their obligation
to take the trouble to vote in 1
:he November election. i
