The Sumter Herald's sixteen-page

special Red Cross edition last week
was a splendid specimen and showed
a true spirit of appreciation of this
great and benevolent organization.
Every page of the paper carried a
large red cross,the society's emblem.
The ladies of Kmgstree and com*
munity are putting forth most praiseworthy
efforts in behalf of the Red
Cross Society fund. The men are also
doing great work and it is very probable
that the portion assessed Williamsburg
county?$3,000?will be
?aised by the end of the week. Let
evary one of us do something to help
this great organization in its work of
ministering to stricken soldiery.
Porvr>lo ir> overv nf thp
country are responding freely and
L liberally to the President's call for
B jubscriptions to the Red Cross fund
The call is for $100,000,000 and already
$50,000,000 of the amount is
reported as being subscribed. The
citizens of Williamsburg county are
doing their bit by contributing to
$3,000 as their part of this
proportionment. Most other
showing a patriotic
rru:.
in me matter. ims is as il
be. Let every man. woman
rH lild who can possibly spare a
H or more contribute to this
i H cause.
Evidence that the new rules re.^^"^Ntfarding
wastage of food are being
sh4ctly enforced is shown by the fact
that,on information from a dustman
who found considerable bread thrown
into the dustbin, a woman was convicted
and fined $50 at the Bromley,
V Kent, (Eng) police court.
Some people are such slaves to
fashion that they would cut down

"A man should be permitted to

To The Public,
This is to give notice that I have
disposed of my interest in The
County Record, having sold my copartnership
therein to Mr E C Epps
of Kingstree, S C.
In the futdre I shall not be responsible
for the liabilities or for
the policy of the paper, but shall
always feel a kindly interest in the
old county paper which has stood
the test of storms and wars and J
oh'll rpmains one of the communities |
best assets.
Thanking my friends and co-workers
for the supoort and encouragement
shown me while in the newspaper
business, and extending a
i glad hand and best wishes to the
new management, 1 am,
(Signed) R K Wallace.
Mr E C Epps Acquires Inter'
est in The County Record.
Having purchased Mr Wallace's
interest in The County Record, it is
incumbent upon me to state that my
connection with the paper will not be
that of an active participant in the
routine work of the office.
The services of Mr W H Welch,
who is so well and favorably known
in this town and county as manager
of the Kingstree Insurance, Real Es
tate and Loan Co,have been secured
f
to assist in the management of the
paper, and he, with Mr Tolley, will
conduct the affairs of the enterprise.
My connection with the paper will
in no way change its general policy,
but rather to uphold and strengthen,
i if possible,that which it hasprevious!
ly pursued, to build up and defend
I the interest of the citizens of this
town and county. Under no condition
or circumstance will individual
interests,business partiality or political
influences as regards the county
'? TUa RaanrH liuoe onH sorvpn

be tolerated or condoned in its columns.
Unselfish service shall be my aim.

Mr W H Welch With The
Record.
With the change in the ownership
of The County Record as stated
above, the business management of
tKo nonor nnQCorl intn thp hfiflds of
Mr W H Welch.
Mr Welch needs no introduction
here to many of our subscribers and
patrons. He came from Sanford.N
C, in 1914,and assumed the management
of the Kingstree Insurance,Real
Estate & Loan Co, in which capacity
he has since served,at the same time
making a valuable addition to the
citizenship of the town and county.
His connection witn me i^ounjy
J Record will in no way affect his coni
nection with the Kingstree Insurance
ajrenev.and those who have interests!
in it may feel satisfied that the same
will receive prompt and accurate ati
tention in the future as in the past.
J We are triad to have Mr Welch on
our staff, and feel sure that his services
in connection with the paper
will be of trreat benefit to The Rec
ord and its subscribers. It is our
purpose with this change to give the
public better service than we have
heretofore been able to render, and
in our efforts to do this we ask the
hearty cooperation of all friends and
patrons of the paper.
