The Record Changes Hands
The County Record has changed
hands. 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

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

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.
