an editor. We hasten to reply.
If you are coming to pay your
subscription or bring in a nice
JUICY item of news, don't stop to
knock, just walk right in as ifyou
owned the place. On the other
hand, if you are out on a collect
ing tour, you should make the
fact known through the window,
and then knock at the door until
the editor opens it. You may
sink down from exhaustion before
he does so, but you will be adher-
ing to printing Office etiquette,

a respite from his literary labors
which have SO protitably and con-

to detail the Presidents daily
routine, and social and domestic
phases of life in the Executive
Mansion. He is also the first
Chief Magistrate to crystalline his

gained as Chief Executive in a
series of lucH, instructive and in.

ACCORDING 70 PROMISE
WE ISSUE AN EiGHT-PAGE PAPER
THIS WEEK.
The Enlargement is A Permanent I'm
provement.-The Price
to be the Same.

In accordance with the an
nouncement previously made, we
issue an eight-page paper this
week, Heretofore our subscribers
have been receiving only four
pages of matter, two of which
were devoted entirely TO State
and general news, and two to town
and county matters. This week.
however, and in the future eight
pages will be issued, four OF
which will be devoted exclusively
to town and county matters. Vi
course this will give two pages
more than usual devoted to State
news and miscellaneous matters
all of which will be very carefully
selected, and which we hope our
readers will appreciate.
The County Record is now the
largest newspaper ever published
in Williamsburg county, end is
also the cheapest considering the
fact that there is about twice as
much value received now as here
tofore.
1t is our intention to make this
paper one of the best county pa.
pers in the State. and to this end
we will bend every effort. We
hope to soon have correspondents
from ever postofice IN the coun-
ty, and we will then be prepared
to give all the news of Williams
burg. We have already succeeded
in securing correspondents at
several points, but wish TO get
others from other places,
Remember, the subscription Of
the County Record will. remain
the same, one dollar a year in
advante. Think of it! 4S col
umns of reading matter each
week for 50 weeks, or 2,496 col.
umns in all, for only one dollar!

Of Interest to Farmers.

We have been requested to call
the attention of the farmers to the
notice of President Craighead, of
Clemson College, calling for cor
respondencs looking to the estab-
lishment of farmers Institutes.
which wae published in last weeks
County Record, and to urge the
establishment of such an institute
in this county. These Institutes
cost the farmers not one cent, and
are very instructive and beneficial.
The professors of Clemson College
attend the meetings and address
the members upon various SUBJ
jects.
Every county in the State is
entitled to at least one, and if We
do not secure it at Kingstree, there
is no doubt that some other town
in Williamsburg county will Or
ganize one. As above stated. the
organization does not cost the
farmers a cent, Clemson College
bearing all the expenses. all
that is necessary in order to es-
tablish a farmers institute is to re-
quest Mr.. Craighead to come and
oganize one, and it will be done.
Let our farmers be sup and doing"
before some of our more enter
prising neighbors send in petl
ton and secure the prize. Get up
a petition and have several farm
ers or others to sign it and for
ward the same to President E. B.
Craighead, Clemson College, s.
c., and he will arrange the dates.
