WITHOUT APPOLOGIES -This number of The County Record which is equal to four regular issues had its origin about the time Billy Boll Weevil struck the county early in the fall, and, realizing the urgent necessity of getting on his trail without delay by pointing out to our farmers ways and means for combatting him, we employed a gentleman, well known throughout this section of the State as a solicitor in newspaper work to do some special work along this line for The County Record. We also requested some of the leading agricultural men in the South 4 to furnish us articles dealing with . the situation in which our county has been placed by the advent of the boll weevil, reducing the prospects of our chief industry?cotton raising?to a minimum in the future. These gentlemen, Mr. Geo. R. Wheeler, of the South Carolina Landowners association; Mr. W. E. Winters, Mr. W. M. Goodman, T. M. Cathcart, county agent, and Mr. Geo. A. Caldwell, agricultural ar?d industfial agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, who is one of the best posted men along these lines in the county, have very kindly complied with our request and we feel >*ure that the articles appearing under their respective names in the paper will prove of inestimable ienefit to our fanners and the people of the county in general. The business men and banks of Heminway, Greelyville, Lanes, Cades, Johnsonville, Salters and Kingstree have made this special issue of The Record possible by their ready and liberal support through the purchace of advertising apace necessarily sold at a rate mucn higher than our usual price. We have no appology to make for the paper this week to any one who might feel dissatisfied with it. We hope on the other hapd, that in a measure, at least, it will serve the purpose for which it was undertaken and is intended. THAT ST. STEPHENS AFFAIR That shooting affray at St. Stephens Sunday night was one of the most deplorable as well as horrible acts ever perpetrated in this'section of the state. There was no real provocation for the action of Dr. Pratt in ^ aking a shot at Cotton through a wit 'dow, which shortly after brought _i 1 the death of himself and two men. In the first place it was other 1 me, and although Pratt had toll's ho. the famny and made his married in ,e had n0 right to forbid home there L it 50 iong as it was any one intern. BeU family. Pratt agreeable to the , not to enter the had warned Cottox. ne time, it is dhBell home, at the sax. vas paying atJerstood, that Cotton \ n<i that his tentions to Miss Bell a. iother and ? suit was favorable to her i? brother. 1 the If Cotton's presence arounv <antBell home was a source of unple^t to ness to Dr. Pratt it was his duty ' get out without resorting to a jaethou which does not commend itserf to his} > ^ : . .'V I former friends as being other than ' cowardly. Dr. Pratt made his home in Wil-! ^ liamsburg county and was for several years a successful practitioner, held . in highest esteem for his honesty 1 and integrity. Announcement here Monday morning of his untimely! death, brought about as it was, by his own hot headedness, and ujigov-1 ernable temper, has caused a pro found regret among those who knew him. In 1914 he was urged to become a candidate for the legislature,! and while he was not elected he re-! ceived a very flattering vote consider- j ing the number of candidates in the race. He was defeated by a very few votes. The Dell family were residents of i this community for some years and always held in high esteem and that j this unfortunate affair should have! occurred to its members has called forth deep regret and expressions of. profound sorrow. GOOD HEALTH WITH- i IN EASY REACH.! Vigarous Health Only as Far Awey as The Use OF Pepto-Mangan ! i CREATES RICH, RED BLOOD j I Pepto-Mangan Obtainable in Liquid or Tablet?Insist in "Gudes," The Genuine. There is really no reason why men or women with thin, watery blood and consequently poor health should re-! main in that unfortunate condition, j Thin, nervous, run-down, tired people never get much happiness out of life. Men and women with the bloom of health in their cheeks, a cheerful, sunny disposition and an attractive personality are the folks who get most ^ of life's enjoyment, pleasure, and success. I Gude's Pepto-Mangan furnishes thin, watery blood with the necessary nourishment to enrich it, enabling it to supply energy, vitality, and strength to every part of the body. Phpsicians recommend Gude's Pepto-Mangan to patients suffering from anemia because its beneficial and lasting qualities are well known to the medical profession. Gude's Pepto-Mangan is obtainable in either liquid or tablet form. Both forms contain exactly the same strength and medicinal properties. When you buy Pepto-Mangan of your druggist, be sure the name "Gude's" is on the package. Without "Gude's" it is not Pepto-Mangan. "Advertisement." HENRY NOW ENJOYS i . PERFECT HEALTH. FERROLAX QUICKLY OVERCOMES HIS TROUBLES?FEELS FINE ALL THE TIME One of the noteforthy features in connection with FERROLAX, and the one that stands out more prominently than any other, is the large number of men and women from different parts of the south who have recently reported astonishing results from its use. One of the most recent to testify to the good results obtained from using FERROLAX, is Mr. C. D. Henry, who lives at 269 Lake Ave. Atlanta, Ga. While in conversation with a Ferrolax representative a few days ago, Mr Henry said: "For several years I have been suffering with indigestion and stomach trouble. Not being able to eat the substantial food I needed to keep me going, I became badly rundown, I felt tired and worn out all the time, and my blood was not as healthy as it should be. "After taking many other medicines without relief, I commenced taking Ferrolax, and I just want to say right here that before I had finished f* ^ * rxi_ .r IL:- T my nrsi oouze 01 mis nicuinuc * knew that I had struck the right thing at last. "Well, to make a long story short, Ferrolax fixed me up all right, and I am now enjoying the best of health. I am free from indigestion and stom- ] ach troubles, and never suffer a particle from constipation, I have plenty of good, rich, red blood in my veins now and just feel fine all the time. I gladly recommend Ferrolax' to everybody." Ferrolax is sold by Farmers Drug Company, Hemingway; W. V. Brockington, Kingstree; Cockfield Ding Company, Johnsonville. Get a bottle at this store today.
