Local News vs. General
News.
Said one of our subscribers
recently: "I like your paper all
ligut, only you don't give enough
State and general news." It is
a fact that we do not give much
State and general news; we do not
... . ,. ? ?u
aiiempi 10 uu so, as we uuuiu uut
compete with other papers that
cau supply double the quantity
cf State aud general news at
about half the price of The
Record. No, we make a spec- '
ialty of local news. We try to 1
give our readers, week in, week '
out, what we can gather personal- j
ly or get through our correspon- ,
dents, aud we may say without ;
egotism that we do that fairly 1
well. 1
Look through the eolnmns [of J
The Record this week, or any |
week, and see how many sections
of the county are represented, ?
. - 1
how much news a single issue contains?not
newfc abont far-off
places and strange people, but j
live topics within our own scope
of observation and people Jwhom
we kuovv personally. Of this par- ]
ticular kind of news?Williams- ]
burg county news?we say with- ?
out auv fear of contradiction that
i
*Thk KkcORD contains niore by
Ion? odds than all other news- ^
.papers combined.
Local news, countv news. That -
is the excuse for the existence of
a county newspaper. If a man
w&r.ts the news of the whole
whole country let him lake a
twice or thrice a week paper that
wili keep him plentifully supplied.
But for a county paper to fill
its columns with remote happenings
would defeat the very object
of its existence. From a
unique position among newspapers
it would degenerate into a cheap
imitation of the si mi weekly edition
of a big daily.
We could give our readers any
amount of "foreign" news and at
a small fiactiou of the cost of
"home" news; in fact, we can
buy it already set up iu plates
or on "pateut iusides,'' but we
believe that the vast mojority ap
preciate the effort we are making ,
to give them a high class, all ]
horn print newspaper, and al- 1
though the additional expendi- 1
ture of energy and cash required ,
has so far failed to meet with ,
adequate return, still we toil on, .
content with little more than
enough to pay ruuning expenses, 1
with the vagrant hope that some
of these days our life work may
he justly appraised aud rewarded,
Mr C C Featherstone has announced
his candidacy for Gover*
nor in 1010. Mr Featherstone
will doubtless make a strong
candidate on the Prohibition
ticket, but it seems rather early
for a formal announcemeut for au
election nearly two years distant.
There is no telling how conditions
may shape themselves in
two years and Candidate Feather
stone might have kept on "saw
ing wood" for some time withou
weakening his chances by pre
crastination.
More trouble at Ulemson! \V
hoped that when a year ago abou
half the corps of cadets wa
dismissed it would tend to tightei
up the discipline of the institu
tion, but the trouble seems to b
deep-rooted. This time the spiri
of lawlessness took the concret
form of hazing, in which i
cadet from Florence was severel;
bruised and otherwise maltreated
and three cadets have been sus
pended from the college as th<
result.
! PROSPECT GRADED SCHOOL, j
Leo, December 1:?Quite
large crowd was in attendant
last Friday night, November 25,
at the Prospect school building
and all report a good time and
say that the occasion was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present.
The auditorium was taxed to its
utmost capacity and many
couldn't gain admittance and
peered in as best they could
From the outside. The weather
was ideal and people from far
md near took advantage of the
fact and came. The crowd was
the largest ,and most orderly
jathering ever assembled in
this community at a school entertainment.
The exercises began promptly
it eight o'clock and f?
lours the audience enjo
ollowing programme:
1. Welcome Song?by i
adies.
2. "Train to Mauro,"
Cast of Characters:
Mrs Buttermilk Miss Berry.
Mr Bright Stanley Prosser.
!ohnny,tbe bad boy,Leo Hanna.
3. Duet?Miss Fletcher and
Miss Parker.
4. "John W Jones"?Recita
:ion, by Miss Nina Porter.
5. "Thirty Years with a Shrew''
-Recitation, by Miss Bertha
jawrence.
fi. Instrumental Solo?Miss
barker.
7. "The Irishman and the
loon' ?Jesse Hanna King, the
rishman, and Reese Gee, the
loon.
8. "Somebody Lied'"?Bay
nond X Speigner.
9. "That Rascal Pat'"?Play,
Characters:
dajor Puffjacket Mr Ileese
Cockfield.
Charles Livingstone?Mr Hubert
Prosser.
S'ancy (the maid)?Miss Parker.
Laura (niece to major) Miss
Fletcher.
1'at (the rascal) Raymond N
Speigner.
This play seemed to be enjoy?d
immensely and made quite a
:iit. It brings in the crusty old
bachelor uncle and his niece who
loves the handsome and dashing
young Charles, who, however,
lias no money, and then the
blundering Irishman who makes
mistakes and in trying to rectify
Lhem involves himself in many
humorous situations, out of
which no one but Pat could extricate
himself. In the end
though everybody n^arries evorvhnHv
else and thev live hap
- J J
pily forever afterwards.
Alter the exercises all were
iuvited to repair to the large
hall upstairs where all kinds of
things were in evidence. The
large room was prettily decorated
with moss, evergreens,
holly and pot plants; several
booths were arranged for the
fruit stands and fish pond,
while in the center a large
space was cut off with ropes ol
moss and here the oysters were
served by the young ladies of
the community; at the extreme
end of the hall was arranged a
balloting box where votes were
%
J
- cast for the "prettiest g.
. the "ugliest man," a cake being
t the reward for the successful
contestant. These cakes were
certainly handsome and the coit
tests proved very interesting.
' Indeed, in the "pretty girl" cone
test alone 4005 votes were cast
t and se.eral hundred for the
s I "ugly man"
The crowd did not disperse
I until the early hours of morning
" j and everyone carried away a

e 'ihe proceeds will go to finish
a payment on a piano and toward
painting the school-building. As
^ it may be of interest to some we
' will give the following figures:
Total amount taken in $277.31
e Total expenses 37.31
Profits $240.00
The school is to be congratulated
on its success and we
> know that the patrons and
Vf^the Prospect school
see its progress.
