. Notice. ' ~
B&r For the convenience of our
subscribers who do not come to
town often The Record has arranged
with Treasurer J Wesley
Cook to collect subscriptions while
on his rounds. Of course Mr.
Cook will not have a statement of
your account made out to date (not
knowing beforehand where or by
whom he will be paid) but just pay
him ahout what you think you owe
and a year in advance, if you want
the paper another year. He will
iccp. vr?n a tfmnorarv receint for
your money and when he turns in
his report at this office we will
mail you a duplicate numbered receipt,
from our regular receipt
book, which will show you the
exact date to which your subscription
is paid.
Neither Cook nor Peary saw
any animals near the pole?not
even a pole cat.
When the stock-market begins
to tumble it causes many a man

When the bees invade a male

Considered locally, the price of
cotton is far more interesting
than the latest aviatory feat or
North Pole polemics.
Bridge whist was invented to

The near-poet of the Spartanburg
Herald avers in rhythmic rime
that the next thing to a pretty
girl is a vacant seat. But when
is there ever a vacaut seat anywhere
near to a pretty girl?
An ingenious country editor oat
West has invented what he calls
a "ten-course shirt." The bosom
is formed of a pad of ten sheets
of paper, assorted colors, so that
all the wearer has to do is to tear
off a sheet aad he has a clean
shirt. Which goes to show that
if necessity be the mother, poverty
is certainly the father of invention.
King Peter of Servia, whose
accession to the throne several
years ago was made possible by
the murder of the then reigning
king and queen in a peculiarly
atrocious and cold-blooded manner,
is said to have become persona
uov grata to his subjects and
sticks close to the royal chamber.
His job seems to be petering out,
so to speak.
It seems to run in the familyMrs
Iluth Leavitt, the daughter
of William Jennings Bryan, who
is divorced from her artist husband,
has announced her caudi-dacy
for the nomination for Congress
from the First district of
Colorado. She has dreams of inak
ing the nation's legislative halls,
where once sat her distinguished
father, ling with her melodious
voice. Next!
The iSt Matthews Advocate,
in specifying the forms of hazing
practiced by Uiemson cadet3
upon the recruits, alleges that
at meal-time the ''rats" are
forced to take bees in their
pockets from the mess-hull,
' which is infested with bees.
' Bees m the mess-hall at Clem|

methods.
Should be Punished #
The News and Courier's correspondent,
in his write-up of the
King's Mountain monument unveiling
last week, reports the following
incident:
Some of the soldier boys in
one of the companies up at
Kings Mountain, who thought
they could have some fun on
the march to the battle-ground
from Yorkville, stopped in the
store of Jim Stroup and fitted
on to themselves a few pairs of
shoes. The boys didn't mean
any harm, bnt Col Lewis didn't
look at it in this manner and
they were halted and the shoes
returned to their owner. The
soldier boys will be dealt with
according to the military law.
We don't kuow just what
punishment the "military law"
provides in cases such as this,
but the spirit of "fun" on the
part of the "boys" that' found
expression in over-awing by force
of numbers a helpless store-keeper
and nelping themselves to his
mppohandisp without navin? for it.
should be sharply rebuked, and
we see no reason why the
offenders shonld not be dealt
with like other thieves. Such a
lawless soldiery harks back to a
very painful period in the his.
tory of our State when Sherman'*
"bummers" pillaged and burned,
regardless of the rights of private
ownership, on that infamous
march to the sea.
Not Needed.
According to the way we set
it the invention ot a successful
cotton-picking machine would
spell ruination for most of the
farmers of the South, How
could States like ours compete
with Texas, where it is said the
natural soil will produce more
cotton per acre than ours when
highly fertilized? Iu Texas, we
are told, the size of the cottou
crop is limited only by the inability
to secure laborers to
harvest it, so that the boll
weevil and the scarcity of cotton
pickers seem to be all that have
stood between the Southern
farmers and ruinous overproduction
during all these years. According
to our lights, then, we
' frankly confess the hope that
, dual demonstration of cottonpicking
machines to take place
next week at Benuettsville, in
I Marlboro couuty, may convince
the promoters and all interested
for all time to come that
'such ;i machine is beyond th*|
ranee of human invention.

something like this: "I didn't
want the paper, but you just
kept sending it to me." As a
matter of fact we do not "just
keep sending it" when we receive
the slightest intimation that it
is not wanted. Some newspapers
are like cockle burrs?once they
get on to von they stick forever,
but we are thankful to say
that The Kecord has never belonged
to that class. All the
more reason we expect those
who take the paper out of the
postofiice to pay for it just the
same *as they would pay any
other debt.

closes thusly an announcement as
to a change in the business management
of the paper:
The editor of the News-Monitor
will devote his attention entirely to
the make-up of the paper. He will
do the editorial work and look after
subscriptions and advertising contracts,
which must be made directly
with him. He will receive all money
(at long intervals) on subscriptions
and advertisements, and will acknowledge
with thanks all presents,
curses and Caudle lectures from woman
suffrage advocates. He will set
ads, make up forms, read exchanges,
entertain loafers,nurse other people's
babies and work eighteen hours every
day.
We return thanks to our patrons
for past favors and now that the bnsiuess
has two heads, we promise better
service than we have ever been
able to give.
There's a Reason.
Whenever a man tells the postmaster
or rural carrier to "stop
that blamed "so-and so" paper,"
you can just bet your bottom

KJitor County Record: ?
Some weeks ago there was an editorial
in The County Record on the
whiskey law of Williamsburg county.
This article, in a manly and common-sense
way, held forth to the
people the fact that by their own
vote whiskey-selling in this county
was no longer a lawful thing. A call
was made to the men of the county
to come forward and let it be known
in no uncertain way that the majority
of our people are iaw abiding cit.
izeus, and, no matter whether they
had voted for or against this law,
every self-respecting mau would*
hare it upheld, now that it is law.
We heard so many words of approval
of this editorial that we were
made glad and expected that the
next issue of The County^^ord
would not be able to contain the articles
that would be sent iD on this
subject. Twice the paper has been
issued since that time and not one
word on the subject!!! What does
this silence mean? Does it mean a
lack of men? Men who are willing to
come forward at the call of duty to
protect the women, the boys aud the
weak brother, too, from this mou
ster, whiskey? Do we imagine the
devil is asleep, or are we ourselves
asleep? I suspect it is because we are
all so busy. So busy iu our scramble
after money ;and pleasure that we
have no time to consider that the
devil is roving through the land devouring
whom he pleases.
Perhaps some honestly think that
since they have voted against whiskey
they have no further responsibility.
Fellow citizens, you would not reason
thus in other matters. Suppose
some man shonld make it his business
to keep rattle-snakes in Kings*
tree and should succeed iu selling
them in quantities as pets? This
wonld quickly be made an unlawful
business. But suppose the man
should continue his business on the
-?_ > iir?i J
eiv; tiuuiu jruu oib ijuicuj ai uuiuc
and say: "We haye forbidden this
business and now have no further responsibility"?
No. indeed; the keeper
of these snakes would be run out of
Kingstree and t'ie last snake destroyed.
V
We know Uat whiskey means
death in a worse form than rattlesnakes.
The suakes may destroy the
body, but whiskey will destroy both
body and soul. We have God's word
for it that "no drunkard shall inherit
the Kingdom of heaven." Will
the older men of our county take a
backward glance and think of the
splendid young men who have been
ruined by wniskev in our midst, and
will you look around on the promising
boys of the present time and then
sit still and see the work of destruction
go on and on?
Mav frod in His mercv and nower
arrest you in your mad rush and
help you to become sane men. Who
will come forward in next week's
Record and say: 4,I am ready to put
my shoulder to the wheel"?
One Interested.
