Won't You Help Us?
We are constantly striving to make
The Record a better and more interesting
paper. We want it to be
a paper for the people of Williamsburg
county, with just as near all
the news that happens in the county
as it is possible for us to get.
We cannot do this by ourselves,
K. ?
and must depend on some of our
f friends over the county to help supply
us w.ith the news.
Wy- s
At present we are trying to get a
correspondent in every community
of the county, one who knows how
to gather and write news of interest,
so as to show his community up to
je;v
the best advantage. We want these
correspondents to write each week,
if possible, and cover the news fully.
*
If you would like to become one of
our correspondents, drop in and
talk the matter over or write us,
and let us make arrangements. If
you do not think you could write
5.i
* i
from your community, asa someone
who, you think, could do it to
see that your community is represented
in The Record each week. It
ESfjl %
will be interesting to all, and worth
while to the paper and your community.
Here are a few rules for corre'*
spondents:
% 1. Be regular and on time. The
paper must be published every week.
See that your copy reaches us not
I
later than Tuesday noon of each
week.
2. Use only one side of the paper,
make a pa nigraph of each item and
j
divide each item by sufficient space
for a line.
?
3. Report only facts,and leave out
jokes, remarks about the weather,
etc.
4. Make lil?eral use of people's
names, hut do not use one name or
one family too frequently in the
same letter. This becomes nionott
onous.
L
> o. Be sure to give the first name
or initials and write all names
plainly and spell them correctly.
If you are undecided as to the accurate
spelling i f a name,inquire about
it. Many people are sensitive about
the spelling of their names.
6. In reporting deaths, marriages,
and other news of special importance,
give details but do so briefly.
\ U vYhen anything of importance
A*- - 1
J occurs after your letter has been
mailed, telephone us.

Miss Novel Richardson of An-1 !

Mrs J W Swittenberg and Mrs is
Welch, was appointed to report at ^
the March meeting the plans sug- ^
gested by the Marion and Mullins Carnegie
libraries for the opening of the re
library, the selection of books, etc.
A committee consisting of Mrs B sc
E Clarkson and Mrs P S McChesney 01
was appointed to interview the local ?*
board of health and beg their cooperation
with' the League in its efforts
to eradicate the mosquito in jr]
Kingstree. A committee consisting
of Miss Bessie Harper and Mrs Louis
W Gilland was appointed to see per- q
3onally all merchants in town and to re
endeavor to 9ecure their promise to

both flies and mosquitoes will be
lessened. ^
In some localities of Kingstree,
people have been obliged to sleep ^
under nets practically all during the gj
winter. How will we endure the go
pest of mosquitoes when hot weath?r
comes? And besides the torment
jf their bites, let us remember that
fever follows in their wake. Their
:hosen victims are little children w
whose fresh young blood appeals to jn
their discriminating taste, and who
are least able to endure the racking K
torture of malaria, which is the vis- te
ting card of the mosquito.
It rests with us as a town either to &
jit back and be tortured and made w
1! by this virulent insect, or to get
up and hustle and make our beauti- 0f
ful little city a place of health and a
joy forever. S<
Let our slogan for the incoming ar
built here. re
A committee from the League was in
appointed to communicate with all
ihose whose names were on the roll, a'

lames to appear on the new roll.
\ second committee appointed to Wl
jolicit for new members^ secured rL
:hirteen names, making a total of c,i

ionization of the town. The roll is w<
always open for new members and ^
the annual dues are only $1.00, pay- m
able in March at the annual meeting.
The first meeting of the re-organ- ,n
ized League took place on February ^
5 at the school house in a pouring ^
rain. A representative number of
women were present and much en- ^
thusiasm evinced. The standing
committee of the League was auA
