BLIND BEASTS RAIDED?POINTS
FpU LEGISLATORS-RECORD
BREAKING RAINFALL.
Andrews. July 4:?A whiskey detective
by the name of Mr Thomp^
son has made a general raid on the
Oj i
blind timers at both ends of this little
town and we are reliably informed
that several ''tigers'* slept in
Georgetown jail Saturday night,
while some that were not arrested
slept in the woods in the suburbe
of town and others are out under
bond for their appearance at the
court of general sessions. "Be sure,
my friend, your sins will find you
out."
This community was visited last
Thursday afternoon by the heaviest
rain that has ever been known to
fall in this community and crops
were greatly damaged.
Mr Editor, we notice that our
county campaign will open in KingsJr.
Anarnct ? iiiet a little over
W"; Hi J . _ (
30 days hence. There will be a few
more out for the House of Representatives
before the time is out. We
want to hear their views on the issues
o. this campaign. Let us hear
their views on the tax laws. We do
not want another game and fish delegation.
The poor old fish has more
protection by law than our people
and especially tax-payers. The fish
and all game have been provided for,
now, let's see if we can't get men in
the Legislature who will enact laws
to have every man to bear his equal
share of taxation; also enact laws
for the betterment of educational
conditions and the improvement of
our roads, and to have our girls
taught domestic science in the
schools and the boys given a thorough
course in farming instruction.
Let us have these two courses
taught in all of the high schools and
have ad schools made high schools.
Mr Editor,if we ever expect to have
a county of any note we must have
more education?practical education
for our girls as well as the toys.
Better roads, equalization oftaxa-'
tion, more money for education and
~&>ads?these, I think, should be the
. issues of the campaign. The bream,
pike and trout and whisjjey^ftestions
are now things of the past.
Mr T R Tompkins carr^e very near
being killed here last*%rturday by a
run-away mule, ^jhichythrew him
down and drag^p him for some
distance, he being entangled in the
buggy wheels. Fortunately, however,
he was not seriously hurt.
There will be an excursion run on
the G & W railroad from Lanes and
all other points to Georgetown on
account of the Fourth of July. From
Andrews to Georgetown and return
the fare is fifty cents.
The A C Lumber Corp.'s logging
camps are all shut down and our lit- j
tie town was crowded all day, cool
drinks being in great demand.

pNewspaper Rivals at Mulllns Do
the Jeffries-Johnson Stunt.
Mullins, July 2:?J Lee Piatt, edi.
tor of The Enterprise, who was re'
cently defeated for mayor ofMul-j
Hns, engaged in a fist fight on thel
?'-.,^treet here to-day with James Nor-!
* ton, editor of The Messenger, which
opposed Piatt in the recent election.
Several blows were passed and
Norton is said to have bled freely.
After the fight Mr Piatt surrendered
himself to the police and while he i
was under arrest W F Norton, a son
of Jan s Norton,came up and struck !
Plait several blows about the head
and face.
A large crowd gathered and for i
some time there was a good deal of
excitement.
' Mr Norton was at one time Comptroller-General
of the State and afterwards
in Coneress.and later served
a term in the House of Representatives.
Mr Piatt is a former Columbian,living
there till a few years ago, I
when he moved to Mullins.
By helping us you help yourself.
Buy from the houses who
advertise in The Record and
mention the paper.
RECIPROCAL OBLIGATIONS.
How Your Local Paper Helps Yon
and How Yon Can Help It.
We believe every farmer should
take at least one of his local or county
papers. If he does not,he can scarce
ly expect to keep up with the happenings
of his own neighborhood
and the doings of his own acquaintances,
and while we would not have
any reader of ours limit his interest
to the things that are going on immediately
around him,he is certainly
not a well informed man if he is ignorant
of these things.
This, then, is one reason why you
should subscribe for,and pay for,and
possibly write for and advertise in
your local paper. Another reason is
that a good paper in any town or
county is a positive force in the upbuiiding
of that town or county. A
good paper is one of the surest indj
cations of, and the best advertisements
for, a progressive community;
and it is impossible for any editor to
make a good paper if he does not
have the support of the people for
whom the paper is made.
The local paper may also be a;
source of direct financial benefit to!
you. To say nothing of what its ad-:
vertising columns may be woith to;
you, either as buyer or seller, cases1
are always arising when it is a positive
saving of time or money to
know just what is being done by
one's neighbors, or one's county of
ficials, or the business men with i
whom one has to deal. Next to a !
telephone, a really live local newspaper
will do more than anything else
in keeping you in touch with your
local market.
For these reasons, and many oth-1
ers that might be given, the local
editor has a right to expect your pa- j
tronage and your co-operation. In
return Jthere are some things that
you have a right to expect of him.
In the first place.you have a right
to demand that he keep his paper
clean?that he make it fit reading
matter for your family. If morej
space is devoted to scandals and
murders and sensational fake stories
than to the really important happen- j
ings of the day, you not only have a!
right, but it is your duty,to protest, j
These things are not news, though I
many editors seem to think they are,'
and others publish them because!
they think that people want to read
about them.
You should give the more hearty ^
annnnrt tn unnr rnnntv nnnor if its
JUp^Vl V WW J V/W?? VV - -> w~
advertising columns are clean?if it
refuses to carry whisky, patent
medicine and fraudulent investment
advertising. No farmer should subscribe
for any paper of general circulation
that carries such advertising.
and he has a right to insist that
his county paper shall not only refuse
the more vicious of such advertising
but completely purge itself
of all such as rapidly as its support
will admit.
Then you have a right to demand
that your editor tell the news as it
is. He has a perfect right to present
his views with all the force he has'
in his editorial columns, but when
he presents anything as news he
must have it just as accurate?just
as free from personal or partisan
views?as possible. The editor who
permits his personal or political feelings
to color his news columns is
guilty of an actual immorality.
A third right you have is to de
mand that your local paper give the i
most of its attention to local hap-1
penings and local problems. It is !
the special business of ''Rural County
News" to tell what is happening
in Rural county and to aid in this1
county's development and progress.!
Its views on the tariff or the Congo
slave question may be interesting
and valuable, but it can probably I
do more good by giving this space |
to helping have the back alleys of;
Ruralville kept clean, or by interesting
the farmers of Rural county in
the institute that will be held for j
their benefit this summer.
Insist, then, that your paper deal
with the things of your community, '
that it give the local news and help j
solve local problems. j
Here again your help may be required,
and you should feel it your
rlnti- trk vnnr nanpr know nf anv

local event of interest that comes under
your notice, or to use it as a
i
means of calling: attention to any
movement that will make for the
betterment of community life.
A good local paper is one of the
best assets a small town or fanning
community can have. In its work of
education and entertainment it does
good to every one in its territory. To
be a good paper it must be, as we
have said, clean, accurate, wideawake
and in touch with the life of
the community. It is your duty to
help make it so; first, by giving it
financial and moral support, and
second,by insisting that it have high
ideals and live up to them.?The
Progressive Fanner.

We of course take pleasure in publishing
the above correction. When
the statement was made in The
Record that Mr Beasley was not a
native of Williamsburg county, it
was according to the best information
obtainable at the time. Certainly
it was far from our intention
to do the gentleman the slightest injustice?Editor
