Every day or two we get a notice something like this: "Owing to the scarcity of raw materials <xs casioned hy the war in Europe, all paper mills have withdrawn their quotations on all grades of paper, and prices are soaring." This means that our print paper has already advanced altout 33 1-3 per cent, and, if the war keeps up six months longer, it will he difficult to get "news" papr at any price. Already the big metropolitan dailies are preparing to cut out pictures and reduce the size of their sheets. Of course,this condition of affairs at this season falls very heavily on the publisher; therefore, may we not ask our patrons?siihseriU-rs osj>ecially?to come to our aid and pay what they owe us and one or two years in advance? We feel no impropriety in asking this, in view of present conditions. Through thick and thin, good times and bad times, The Record has maintained its price of one dollar a year (if paid in advance), and we do not know of another paper in the State the size and quality of ours that sells for less than $1.50 a year. We should regret extremely to l>e forced to raise the present price of subscription, and if our subscribers will back us up we will not do so at least for some time to come; but, in order to get rock bottom prices on paper, as well as other materials, wp linmt havp csish to nav <>nr hills and fur cash we arc dependent on our patrons.

Columbia, September 9:?Governor-elect Richard I Manning spent the day in the city, returning to his home at Sumter this afternoon. The next Governor was the recipient of many congratulations while here and was kept busy responding} to the hearty greetings of his many admirers and supporters in Columbia. Mr Manning lunched with Representative Dick of Sumter and Christie Benet, of this city, and before leaving gave out a formal statement, in which he expressed his appreciation to the people of South Carolina. Mr Manning thanked the people and the prpss for their work and promised to be Governor of all the people. His formal statement follows: "I wish to express my thanks to the whole people of South'Carolina. The tremendous vote that I received means but one thing?that the principles I advocate, law and order, peace and harmony, struck a responsive chord in the hearts of our people. "I cannot single out any set of men to whom the result of this election is due, since so many men in so many places worked so steadfastly and so earnestly for our cause. To the farmers, the merchants, the mechanics.the textile workers,the traveling and professional men, and to *1 ? ll i. 1L all others who contrioutea, 10 me wonderful result, my profound thanks are due and are herebygiven. It will be physically impossible for me to express my heartfelt^appreciation to the loyal friends who worked with and for me except in this | statement to the public. "I would be wide of the mark if I did not express my earnest appreciation of the splendid work done by the newspapers of the State. The press as a whole was untiring in its effort to show the people only the true issues and to present public matters in a true light. "It would he ingratitude on my part, however, not to mention especially the loyal support given me by mj home people, in Sumter, and by the members of the Young Men's Manning Club, of Sumter, whose loyalty and devotion were a source of strength and inspiration to me throughout the long campaign. "I consider the result of the campaign of 1914 a triumph for all the agencies which work for the moral uplift of our people, and not as a personal victory. "In conclusion, I wish to say, as I have said many times before, that as Governor of South Carolina I will L- / ! ?11 fkof Vt? vjruvci X1UX ui an uic vti?w I will not recognize any faction, but that I will serve the whole people to the utmost of my strength and capacity, with heart and head devoted Dnly to their welfare."

ONLY THING HE COULD DO Chinese Artist Got Even With Those 1 Who Employed Him and Failed to Pay Bill. The man who orders goods and then refuses to accept them is a trial to shopkeepers and manufac-! tuners in all lands; a novel way of I serving such delinquents is de-j scribed in a curious little anecdote I told in "The Memoirs of William j I H it-key." There was a Chinaman who took ; excellent likenesses in day. which; he afterward colored, and they were; altogether well executed. To this! man's shop Pott and 1 went to se<r| his performances. We found Mr. Carnegie, surgeon of the ship Nottingham, sitting for his portrait, and complaining violently of the extremely uglv phiz the artist was making. After he had repeated tl.?is several times, the man laid down his tools, and looking significantly at Carnegie, said, "Hi, you handsome face no have got how can make?" and turning to Pott, lie continued, "Here can make handsome face, for too muchee handsome face have got." Camegie was offended at both observations, and declared he would not pav for or take the model away. He kept his word, and the next time we called at the shop we found the image of Mr. Carnegie tucked up, hanging by a rope round the neck to a beam with several others. Inquiring the meaning of that, the Chinaman, with much anger, answered, "All those have too muchee grand ladrones, give me too much trouble, make handsome face, no pay, no take, so mustee hang up."?
