The County Record.
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.

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.

John P. Ragin Drowned.
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. Respectfully,
W 0 Godwin.

HAS DARLINGTON FOUND THE SANE?
Tbe Answer Is Fonnd'ln the Straight
forward Statement of a Darling
ton Resident.
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.
