Readers, do you realize that pa per is now worth good money r i lias advanced fifty to one hundrei per cent since the first of January If you owe us for your paper an expeet to continue taking The Rec ord you had lietter pay up and rt new at once. After Septendier 1 1916, the price of the paper will h $1..50 per year. Of course we d not like to advance the price, hn there is no other alternative ope to us. It is not necessary for us to ea your attention to the fact that al-oii everything you have to buy ha greatly advanced in price within th past few months. Provisions, dr goods, shoes, clothing, hardware fertilizer, etc, haye soared highe and higher and the end is not yt insight. So it has been with a materials used in the print shop Paper has advanced from fifty t one hundred per cent and many c the grades, especially in colore, ai no longer obtainable at any pjjc* type, rule and ink have also ad vanced proportionately, and th market is in such a state of chac today that We do not know what w will have to pay for material U morrow. All price lists have bee withdrawn, and we only know t< day that we could not quote you lower price tomorrow. As stated above, the subscriptio price of The Record will be advance to $1.50 the year on September ] 191G. Through the circulation cor test now in progress we h*pe to g< our subscription list in good shap( then we expect to keep it in th* condition, and the paper will m l>e mailed to any.one who does n( pay up promptly. From two t five hundred dollars a year has bee lost on subscriptions, through pe( pie who have the paper sent thei and never pay for it?at the end c a year or two years their names ar cut off the list and that's the end c it. With paper and other materh at its present high cost we cannc afford to continue this old methoc and the person who reads his cour ty paper should pay for it as h pays his grocer or his druggisl There is no better time than rigt now to pay up your back subscrij tion and renew before the advanc in price.

J Washington, June 2:?Justice M< (Joy, presiding in the district si j preme court, today dismissed th rule which was issued by him tw weeks ago against Congressman J \ Ragsdale, ordering him to appear i , court and state what had become o i> certain notes which some month u(?a ii'oro oont him fnr pnllpptinn hi t the Free Sewing Machine Compan against parties in South Carolina. 11 When the case was taken up th machine people desired to have th II case continued, but on motion c it Douglas. Ruffin & O'Roar, attornej iS for Mr Ragsdale, this was not don< ^ and before they had completed reac ing their answer to the complain Justice McCoy ordered that the cas !? be dismissed. ;r It was shown that all of the mone ;t involved in the. case, about $1,60< U had been collected by the sewin machine people and the purpose c their action against Mr Ragsdal 0 was to get the notes in hand. M Ragsdale's answer that they ha e been unintentionally mislaid or los was entirely sufficient, hence th 1 dismissal by Justice McCoy. Today's action is a complete e: oneration of any carelessness or net * ligence on the part of Mr Ragsdal* 6 and the fact that the case was di >- missed before his attorneys had fii n ished reading their answer indicato ^ that there was no case upon whic to bring action against the Sout a Carolina Congressman.

"Hot Air Will Put Up a Balloon,Bui It Won't Keep It Up," Says a Noted Advertiser. i TANLAC'S RECORD IS SUPREME. Chnnld VjIiiu Hp laekinn f hp fipn | 17II U UIU I UIUU UU LUUnilJJJ) IIIO. UUll j era! Public Long Ago Would Have i Lost Faith lo Tanlac. | This is an age of advertising, and ; j everyone is familiar with the popu. lar saying, "It pays to advertise." ( Advertising is a business force. . So potent is the charm cast by its { spell it lias lieen known to perforin I marvelous feat- and to nccompli-h i phenomenal results. It cannot be truly said, however, . | that everyone whoadvertisessueceeds II for unless full value underlay the article advertised the advertising J would ultimately fall of its own I weight. In this connection we must not forget the words of the immortal Lincoln, who said: "You can fool some of the people all the time, you | can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time," so if there is not behind every advertisement a dollars and cents value to I the article advertised, no amount of advertising will stimulate the sale on such an article beyond a certain point. This applies to every line of business, and the modern business ? a ?i? t man or urm ctm uiuy duwccu j through honest advertising and fair dealing. One of the most successful adver[ tisers in America today is L T Coopj er, the manufacturer of the new medicine, Tanlac. On one occasion Mr Cooper said: "Hot air will put ' a balloon up, but it won't keep it . there." When I offered Tanlac to , the world something over a year ago, I did so with the firm convic. tion that I was offering to the peoJ pie the best and purest product of of its kind on the American market today, and I did not hesitate to ex' pend vast sums for advertising, be' cause I knew the more the people knew about it the more they would I buy it. The success of the preparation was ' immediate, and the people everywhere were quick to recognize its genuine merit and wonderful curative powers. I have never claimed Tanlac to l>e a "cure all" or that it would perform unheard of wonders, but I stated facts and stated them in a straight-forward and businesslike way, and in a manner that has commanded confidence in the conservative claims set forth. Underlying these claims has been real value, not from a dollars and cents point alone, hut from health as well. The phenomenal success ' the preparation has now achieved is familiar to everyone. No matter where you go Tanlac is a household word. It has brought a new romance to the modern business world. It is a story of an acceptance and appreciation of merit, nev: er before obtained by a proprietary ; medicine. Conservative business ' men, to whom the actual figures of the production of Tanlac have been presented, have scouted them until 1 the proof was shown. The production of Tanlac now ' stands at the rate of almost 5,000,000 bottles per year, or to be more correct, 4,800,000. The sale of 1,000,000 bottles during the first nine months probably exceeded any record ever before made by a proprietary medicine. 1 Through the Atlanta office alone approximately 400,000 bottles have been sold and distributed since December 1, and the South alone now requires over l.OOO.OOO.per year. These enormous sales mean but one thing, and that is merit. One bottle is sold in a neighborhood through advertising, but ten more are sold after the first bottle produces results. People are always willing to tell ai>out their ailments, but they are more than willing to tell others of any medicine that helps them. It is something they can't keep to themselves, because the impulse to sympathize with fellow sufferers and want to help them is one of the strongest as well as one the biggest things in human nature. Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kingstree; Mallard Lumber Go's store, Greelyville; price, $1 per bottle, straight . 1 FRESH BEEF.
