The County Record is now
entering iuto its twenty-third year
of existence, being one among
the older weeklv newspapers in
' the State.
In this age of fast living and
and qaick changes twenty-two
years mean a great deal in toe
spaa of life* either of a human
being or an institution. An euI
terprise, subject to the vicissitudes
of time and conditions
which has weathered the storms
IV>_ of nearly a quarter of a century
must be founded on a tirm basis
and through weight of years,!
if nothing more, would be in
wa stable equilibrium, not to be
* >s^jteered or changed by shifting
[ winds.
r ; There are mauv people in
Willijimahnrcr todav who rend the
? ? ? 1
first copy of Thk Recoup that I
wa3 issued and have read the paper
continuously ever since, who
have sons now old enough to
vote, born since the paper was established.
The man who is now foreman
~*'Jthe mecha?reyi^-wepaTt?aent is
-out as old as the paper and
r present editor himself, when
he saw the first copy of the
then "new paper'' was a schoolboy
sixteen years old.
Bat we do not lay claim to
any special consideration for the
^ paper by reason of age or past
^ achievement. The growth and
development of the business speaks
for jiaelf. Eleven years ago,
<
when the paper came under its
present management, the subscription
list carried 600 lames, very
^ few of whom were paid in advaace,
and many several years
behind. The entire outfit iucluded
one ancient Washington hand
press, several hundred pounds of
old type and a small job press.
One side of the sheet was print
ed by a Charlotte concern and
the other contained, on the avage.
from six to eight columns
set matter each week.
vVe now have one of the best
y^uipped country printing offices
rux the State. Everything is run
by power and our subscription
list has been increased to nearly
2,000. Every page of the paper
is printed at home and we average
from twenty to twenty-tive col^
urnns of loc*l readiug matter in
every issue. All this proves that
there is a place in the homes
*of-?ur people for a good live local
newspaper aud that is the
^lass of people we strive to
[ please^ihe people of Williams.
. burg county.
While the paper has grown
beyond our most sanguine hopes,
<e are still far from satisfied.
i>ur policy has been from the
egiuniug to invest every cent
he business earned in new maerial
aud improved machinery,
hue enabling us to produce
omething a little better. As long
s we remain at the helm this
policy will be continued and wej
shall be satisfied only when u*e
honestly believe that The RecOrI* j
ii the best weekly newspaper that
comes within our observation. We
will perhaps never realize this
ambition, hut to stave earnestly
toward unattainable excellence
muv mean measurable success.

Robert C Ogden, manager of the
Wanamaker stores and multi-mil- 1
lionaire, who has been wintering
over in Augusta, made a special
trip to Columbia in his private
car Tuesday for the express pur
r : t? i tit i.: .
jjujw ui strejug ??asmugiuii
to persuade him to accept a place
on the Liberian commission with
himself (Ogden) and others appointed
by the President. Booker
is said to have been somewhat
coy about accepting the proffered
honor, but it seems that he yielded
to the moral suasion brought
to bear on him by his friend,
Ogden. By the way, it is this
same Ogden who is responsible for
the Ogden movement?a scheme to
put Southern education under tne
supervision of a set of Northern
fanatics and negrophyles.
Oue of the significant changes
of policy toward the (Palmetto
State that comes about with the
change of administration is the
loss of political influence enjoyed
heretofore by John G Capers, who
has for some time held the office
of commissioner of internal revenue
and incidentally controlled the
distribution of Federal offices in
the State. In appointing E W
Durant collector of the port of
Charleston to succeed W D Crum,
Capers was not consulted at all. In
fact, it is said that he favored
another caudidate. Whether Capers'
loss of prestige is due to
"pernicious political activity", or
whether his usefulness has just
died a natural death, only those
behiud the scenes are in a position
to say with authority.
The Bishopville Leader and Vindicator
celebrated its seventh birthday
last week by issuing a twenty
page edition, containing a histor- {
ical sketch of the town and coun- i
ty and cuts and biographical
sketches qf a number of Lee
county's leading citizens. Editor
Cunningham, whose first essay into *
journalism v\as at Kingstree, is ,
now one of the veteran newspaper
men of the State. He has a
good field and the paper he publishes
is worthy of it. We congratulate
Editor Cunningham on ,
his septennial issue and bespeak
for him seven succeeding years of
prosperity and active industry.

three people are talking 'one is the
"attentive listener." We can truly
sympathize with our sister editor,
Mita Estella Smoak of the Branchville
Journal. When two such celebrities
as the editor of the Calhoun
Advance and an ex-Representative of
the Legislature call at the. same time
we wonder that she could even get
"good bye" in edgeways. But, think
of it! The^e very two men are saying '
to themselves, "What a charming;
woman she is and such an exceptional
conversationalist!'' We are sure
the editor of the Kingstrce Record
will agree with us.?Abbeville Medi |
um.
That we agree with our much
esteemed fair contemporary goes
without saying. Also we feel sure
that both the Atyance editor and
the ex-Represciitative of the Legislature
lost a valuable opportunity
for imbibing freely of the Pi?

In hia speech in Columbia this
week Booker T Washington said,
among other good things, that
the negroes spent half their time
trying to make their hair straight
while the white folks strove equally
hard to make their hair kiuky.
If there are any schools in
Williamsburg county whoee terms

the trustees should get busy and
