The entire equipment oi the plant, including good will, has f been purchased by Messrs Waite F Tolley and Richard K Wallace from the administratrix, Mrs Bertha S Wolfe, wife of the late editor and owner, Mr Chas W Wolfe. The transfer of the property was made Monday by Mrs Wolfe's attorney, Chas W Stoll, Flsq, and this issue oi the paper is presented its readers bj the new owners. There will be no changes in the general policy 01 tne paper, as in the past, it will in future strive tc serve the best interests of Williamsburg county ancl her citizens. The County Record is and will be all that its name implies. It is the people's paper here in old Williamsburg, where it w;is born and has had its being for over thirty-one years, throughout which it has been a factor in the county's progress. Mr Tolley has been closely identified with The Record during the past five years, he having come liert from Virginia, his native State, in the fall of 1911 and since the spring of 1912 when Editor Wolfe's ill health forced him to retire from active duties, Mr Tolley has practically bad the management of The Record in his charge. Since the death ' of Mr Wolfe in 1915 he has served the paper as editor and manager, for the administratrix, Mrs Bertha S Wolfe. Mr Tolley's experience in the newspaper business extends over thirty years. Mr Wallace is a native of Will iainsburg. a son of the venerable and ? " * -1 T\_ X1T T nigniy esteemeu ur w u nuuau of Kingstree; a member of th< Kingstree bar and served his county as a representative in the last General Assembly. He needs nt further introduction here. In taking over The Record planl and equipment, all accounts were included in the purchase price and payment of all obligations due bj The Record was assumed by the purchasers, and in consideration oi this fact we shall expect prompt settlement of all bills due, as the collection of such accounts will enable us to settle promptly with creditors We earnestly solicit for The Rec ord a continuance of the confident and esteem that the good citizens o \\ illiamsburg and adjoining coun ti s have placed in it, rememberini that it is "The People's Paper' ~ and that the new owners will at an; V and all times "go the limit" in dc y^fending their interests. One of the greatest swindling games that we have had ourattention called to in recent years is the silk ' "Petticoat" proposition by a moral cantile concern of Minneapolis, Minn, to which, possibly, a million women fell victims, among them several weli known Kiugstree ladies. We print on another page today an ar- j la.laa a.lit f Pa 1111 W-l <ll! ll<rtl 111 ?a\'_ !posing the Minneapo:is concern as! a gigantic fraud. We iiAfl a liiu* fair la-t week. Now f r i! e Chautauqua, thenj Christinas Potatoes have gone so high that some of our merchants are considering keeping their stocks in a safety deposit vault over night. Ladies who are depending on a winter petticoat for the dime they sent to that Minneapolis concern are apt to feel the need of it before it arrives, for petticoat weather is already here. Boll Weevil Is Coming. The near approach of the boll wee vil to South Carolina is heralded in . the latest sketching on the boll weej vil map prepared at Clemson College, ^ and forwarded to C F Niven, agricultural agent of the Chamber of ' Commerce, Charleston. The cotton pest has already reached the southi west corner of the State of Georgia, ; and extends all over the northern I end of Florida. The nearest Georgia county to the South Carolina line affected by the boll weevil is Liberty. 5 Thus the danger has approached to , within forty miles of this State. [ The spread of the boll weevil has r been from the Atlantic coast across the State to the extreme northeastArn AArnar nf AloKomo thp C1U VUIUC1 V?A AilUUUUiMl A VTA ?MV first time in the history of boll wee1 vil infection, the pest has reached > the Atlantic and traveled up the coast. The advance has usually been across the country. The first South Carolina counties likely to be hit by the boll weevil, according to a study of the advance ' map prepared by the Georgia State entomologist, are Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Barnwell, unless prep. arations are made before next summer to fight against its coming. Warnings will be issued, it is understood, bv State Entomologist A F Conradi, of Clemson, to the farm> ers of these counties, to begin their war of protection. It is claimed that the boll weevil : has already arrived in Saluda county. Hp t , V WB 1 ...
