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 narvnv ira ocl/ V/-.11 t/-, aofflo im ^apcx , v>v aou j vu wv w>v 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 ?A f * * ~ wn/WMAffA/] f k?f TTTn Slop. 11 IS LU UC ICgtCbtCU viioL nc , 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, i i \ \ BELIEVES IT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER USED MRS.

"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; S S Aronson, Lane; R P Hin- ( 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.
