Since the death of Mr Charles w wolfe, late Editor and owner of The County Record,many of the patrons and friends of the paper naturally want to know, and have asked, "What will become of The Record now?" m..., Dnn/\nr> mil] Ka onnti n 11 Afl i Mfc ALLUI\U (fin uv WUVIU..VV1. For the past three and a half years the mechanical and business management of The Record has been practically in the hands of Mr W F Tolley, whose* experience in this line of work extends over a period of thirty years. He will continue in this capacity, he is familiar with the details of the office, the wishes of the late Editor and owner, and the mission of The Record as a weekly newspaper, published ostensibly in the interest of the people of Williamsburg and adjacent territory, whose liberal support in the past has been largely instrumental in itssuccessful growth and whose continued patronage and good will is earnestly solicited at all times. Upon the death of Mr Wolfe The | Record printing plant became the property of his wife, Mrs Bertha Wolfe, and his heir, Miss Stella Wolfe,a minor. Mrs Wolfe has applied for, and will be appointed administratrix of the estate of her husband, and as such, she will, for the present at least, continue the publication of The County Record and the job printing business with the assistance of Mr Tolley and his coworkers as heretofore since Mr Wolfe's illness incapacitated him for active service. Parties indebted to The County Record are urged to call at the office and settle their accounts. A great many subscribers are in arrears and it is hoped that they will come forward and pay up, thus preventing the account being placed in the hands of an attorney for collection. The County Record. Our citizens have not patronized and encouraged the efforts of the Kingstree Base Ball association as liberally as they should have done, and as a consequence the season has to be cut short by several weeks. It 10 orpnppnllv admitted wherever the | Kingstree team has played that it was the best of its class. The number of games won by it is far in excess of the number lost. Poor attendance at games on the home grounds has caused the association to go in the hole to some extent, we don't know how- far, but we do know that they will have to dig down in their pockets and make / up whatever the amount of the deficiency is.' The present series of games with the Dillon-Latta combination should have a larire patronage. Both teams as crooti as there is in the State, in the amateur class, and a splendid exhibition of base ball will be given. Patronize each game and thus help the association and encourage the ' players of both teams. It is your; last chance to see the present King-1 atree team play here this season. \ ' k / A . 5. ... Colored People's Day. It is the intention of the Williamsburg County Fair Association to hold its exhibit during the week of October 18. One day is to be set aside for the colored people of the county and known as "Colored People's Day." It is earnestly hoped that the colored citizens of the county will get together at once and make preparations for an exhibit that will be a credit to themselves and to the county. With this end in view the following colored men have been named as an executive committee whose duty it will be to arrange all the details of their exhibit: U S Stubbs, Kingstree, chairman W L Fulmore, H J Cooper, Cades J S Fulmore, Fowler Chas McClary, Kingstree, R F D S Brunson, Suttons P J Pressley, Hemingway Louis Gamble, Nesmith Jno Dixon, Greelyville R A Wnnds Cades. R F D Warren Mouzon, Mouzons This committee should hold a meeting at the earliest possible date, appoint their sub-committees, confer with the officers of the - association and leave nothing undone that will tend to the success of the day set aside in their interest.

Information of the drowning of Mr J P Ragin in Black river at Martin's Cross Roads, about six miles from Kingstree, reached here late yesterday afternoon. From the information so far received it seems that Mr Ragin, accompanied by two young boys by the name ot Player, went to the river about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon to go in swim ming. Soon after entering the water Mr Ragin disappeared. The boys could see nothing of him. His clothing was still on the beach where he had left it, and the boys, becoming alarmed, went home, where, they reported that they believed Mr Ragin was drowned. A search was immediately instituted and the body recovered about an hour later near the spot where he had entered the river. Mr Ragin was a farmer,married and leaves a wife and three children. The deceased is a brother of Mr A J Ragin, who has charge of the Standard Oil Co's business at. Kingstree, and was 30 years of agel Mr Ragin's ^efnains were buried this afternoon at Mt Vernon church cemetery. v # A Correction. Editor County Record: In reference to the item in notes from Nesmith in last week's Record regarding the negligence of duty by Mr Lee Lewis toward Mrs J A Haddock. I wish to sav that he was acci dentally hurt by a hatchet falling from the top of a, tobacco barn, and will say that he gave perfect satisfaction by sending a man to fill his place.

We have been reading week after week in the local press of Kingstree citizens who have been rid of distressing kidney and bladder troubles1 by Doan's Kidney Pills, and we have often wondered whether the same high opinion of this medicine is to be found in our neighboring: towns. This frank and earnest statement by a well known and respected resident of Darlington will set this doubt at rest. .
