Shop Talk.
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paper mills have withdrawn their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,

MANNING THANKS
PEOPLE OF STATE,
WILL SERVE THE WHOLE PEOPLE
TO THE UTMOST, DEVOTED
TO THIER WELFARE.
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

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."?

"Are you going to rusticate this
summer, Mrs. Comeup?"
"No; that place, from all the:
