Will You Help Us.
A few weeks ago we mailed cards
to a large number of our subscribers
notifying them that their sub- i
scription to The County Record had .
already expired or was about to expire
and requested each to call and
make renewal. We knew that most
of those to whom notices were sent
were selling tobacco, getting a good
price for it and would want to pay
up. We are not very well pleased
with the result so far, as not more
than 20 per cent of our readers have i
responded to the notices sent out.
therefore their names must and will
be stricken from our mailing lists
within the next week or two.
To those who are several years in
arrears, we must say that being old
subscribers, many of them having
taken the Record since it was started
thirty odd years ago, that we
must have what is due us now. We
have carried you on our list, for the
reason that you were an old subscriber
and felt that you wanted the paper
continued. We knew of the misfortunes
that have befallen you the
past three years and reasoned that
it would be ingratitude on our part
to discontinue the paper to an old j
and faithful subscriber when he was
in hard luck and failed to pay up?
simply because he couldn't. This
case doesn't hold good with the ma- ;
jority of you at this time, and is a ,
final word before discontinuing the

Mind you. paper, ink, and in fact
everything used in the production
of The Record during the time it has
been going to you regulaaly without
pay, has cost us from 100 to 300 per
cent more than it cost us before the
war began,and yet there is no abatement
in these enormous increases in,
sight,and we need the money that is
justly due us to carry on our busi,
ness and keep the old Record?the
peoples paper?going.
Only, this week we have had an
additional expense that was like a
stiff blow on the solar plexus. We
had to buy and install a new engine,
for we can't operate without power,
...
and our old engine gave way?worn
out from usage.
Come across, friends, with what
you owe us. If you can't bring it
to our office, then send it?we will
appreciate it.
Who's Selling Intoxicants in
Kingstree?
Complaint was made to us some
time ago that a certtain man from
the country goes home drunk everytime
he comes to Kingstree. Other
instances have been called to our attention
which cause us to conclude
that intoxicating drinks, in some
form, are being dealt out to people
here illegally. This thing ought to

have any citizens in this town?
white or black?who have such
utter disregard for the law as to be
guilty of doing such a dirty crime.
We ought to have enough respect
for the moral welfare of the young
manhood of the community to refuse
to stoop to such a thing. We
hate tn nHrr.it that the law is beinfiT
violated in this respect; but it is
true nevertheless.
If any person or persons, business
concern, corporation or whosoever
the violator may be, has no
more self-respect or interest in the
welfare of the young manhood of
the town and county, we hope that
the authorities will get busy and
bring such offenders to justice.
Kingstree has the reputation for
the enforcement of law. We have a ;
good police force.who do everything j
they can for the welfare of the town
but if this thing is not. stopped, we ;
shall soon lose our good reputation, j
So we Ihope the proper authorities
will get busy, catch the guilty party i
or parties and bring them to justice 1
and to a term on the chaingang,

have ever used,'' declared Mrs .1 T ;
MeAlister, of No i* Bryant St, Brandon,
Greenville,lin a statement she
gave June 2. "My daughter took 1
Tanlae Itecause she was suffering
from a badly weakened condition, ,
and she was so siek she was just ,
able to l>e out of bed. Her appetite
had left her and she didn't eat anything
at all hardly. All the time '
she eomp'ained of pains in her side
and of headaches.
"But the .Tanlac soon had her
strong and well and she went hack i
to work and is working regularly
now. It gave lier a good appetite '
and built up her entire system. 1
Her strength increased rapidly after
she began taking Tanlac, and
now she never complains of those 1
pains in her side nor of headaches." \
Tanlac, the master medicine, is 1
sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kings
tree; Mallard Lumber Co, Greelyville;
Farmers' Drug Co, Hemingway;

nant, Suttons; W D Bryan, Bryan.
For several weeks past The Record
has been late in getting out on
account of a contrary old gasoline
engine. This week it is late because
of having to install a new kerosene
engine. The combination of difficulties
has pretty sorely tried our
patience.
