.ave wandered far afield toother
' port* of the country?from the
, Atlantic scaVmurd almost to the
distant hlue f*si*?itii?The Ke<vrd's
visits have l<-en the connecting
link that kept them in touch
with old-time seems and jissoeiation-.
"Just like a letter from
home,*1 is the t f.'-spoken phrase
?Kat rrcnmpnnto- a renewal of
suUurijition from these distant
oucs and to' our mind that is
the highest compliment that ran
he a .local nt wspajvr. Our
ambition has never transcended
thet j*>int <?f excellence at which
our readers f-:r away from their
native soil can say of the pajier
without Mattery or i(lle eompli"It
i* iik?* a let tor from
1io*iio.' When this sentiment is
uttered from the heart, we know
that we have not fiilotl of our mission
:jix?i. withal, that our home
patron*, Uing naturally more
vitally eomvriM-d and interested
in wliat has Uvn' printed from
w.'.k to week. must have found
in the paper something f merit
to warrant their support and
patronage.
As we !<-tve .-tatel from time
to tin e, the |**!iey * f The Reeord
has U-en to make the paper
r'.asth.s ?"ed as it- p:ttro:iago would
warrant. In other words. Irvond

j .? imvlnnieai standpoint, at11
least. | <
With this in view we have t'
j resisted tin* teni;?t;iti?*n t" follow
jthe example of many of our
j i
1 eontem;* war its and teinjxirarily |
'lioom eireu'atioii l>y voting coni
?
i t<*st> and other schemes to give
away presents to a few at the
exjH'iisc .of the many who would
not share in the gift distribution.
Instead of spending 3 vera 1 hundred
dollars, plus time, energy t
and advertising space, we deem- t
ed it k-tter for both the paper t
and its jKitrons to invest the mon- f
ey that we have earned afx>vc I
openrting expenses in new material ]
and lalx>r-savingmaehery, so as to (
semi out a county paper that i
would eompare favorably in mejchanicnl
api>earance with any j
weekly newspaper in this State '
and a!s<> t?? facilitate the work 1
of printing, folding, addressing ]
and mailing the* sheet, which
when done by hand is a very
slow and laborious process. 1
We are pleased to announce to 1
our readers that, thanks to the
lil<cral patronage they have favor- '
eil us with, we have been able 1
to put in most of the machinery, s
etc., that has been so long need- 1
til to complete our equipment. J
As will Ik* noted all the IhhJv '
type and head letter used in this 1
i.-.-u is brand new and of the 1
i i .M popular design. The body 1
type is just a little smaller than 1
tht old face which was really too '
: large and took up too much space. '
J Then, too, practically all our ad- 1
vertising display type is new and *
we have added hundreds of dollars i
worth of new type and material <
to our job department, which is i
now equipped to do bettor work i
on shorter notice tlian ever before.
And, last but not least in the 1
way of improvement, we have 1
added to our plant a newspaper 1
folder of the most approved make, *
I
that will fold, trim and paste one 1
thousand to fifteen hundred eight 1
to twelve page newspapers in an 1
j hour's time. ' 1
When all our new machinery is '
J installed and in operation, we (
I shall he able to print, fold and *
/
| address our entire edition of near- 5
!y two thousand papers in less 1
than two hours. Time in 1
the era of the ok1 ^ . ngton 1
hand press, wh* 'me process
applied u? One thousand
: copies of the paper required A
twenty-four hours of unremitting c
toil1, even when everything went *
I 11 (
. smooth v.
?
! The advantages of this lal>or
saving material are too obvious
t<? need to lie pointed out. Not
; only van we give Inter news and ^
: mail the paper more promptly,
j but the time saved will mean
I nearly one day a week to do job
work and thus we hope to keep
up with the .expanding volume of '
business that conies to that department.
1
In concluding thi> article we
wish to thank our friends for the J
substantial appreciation they have
given us which has enabled us
to do the things set forth above,
and especially are we grateful to
the business men of Kingstree for
their liberal patronage of our advertising
columns. It has been
profitable to us and we have
the assurance of almost every

Death claimed a genial, kindV
gentleman and one of the Shite'
most brilliant orators, when Cr
W W Lumpkin, of Columbia, wa
railed to answer the dread sum
mons last Sunday, while visitin
it his daughter's home in Ashe
ville, X. C. Colonel Lumpkin wa
it his best as an orator on Con
federate Reunion occasions and i
nas to him a labor of love t
recount the deeds of valor of th
men who wore the grey an
fought with Lee and Jackson
Last year he delivered the com
mencement address before . th
graduating class of Kingstree Hig
schc?ol and although given but
few days' notice his audience wa
diarmed with his masterly blend

imagery.

treated him right. Matt com
plains that Peary won't notic

jmoluments that are being shower

should hold Peary bound to keej
