A FEW PLAIN FACTS.

1t is a business axiom to get

money, and this will apply as
readily 10 newspapers as 10 other
commodities. In this connection
we ask your attention for mo-
ment while we tell you why you
should subscribe to The COUNTY
RECORD. In the first place, Tue
RECORD is here to stay. 1t is
owned by an individual, is paid
fon and is paying expenses. As
long as this is the ease a news
paper will never go into the hands
Of a receiver.
Secondly, it is published at the
county seat, where the facilities
for obtaining news must neeessari
ly be better than any where else
in the county.
Thirdly, our clubbing rates are
most Liberal.
And last, but by no means least,
we give eight pages of reading
matter, four of which are printed
at home; twice as much. as many
weeklies contain at the same
price.

lAWlESS SOLDlERY.

The rjotous conduct Of The Amer

outrage upon civilization, and if
not speedily checked the army will

fans. Bad enough it would be
for an invading army to be guilty
Of such acts of violence and zap; c.
ity; but for them to be committed
by our own soldiers, our countrv's
defenders, supposed to represent
the chivalry of the nation, is a
crying shame. From all accounts
the state of lawlesSneSS existing in
, Tampa has been little short Of
Pandemonium. The officers must
be responsible to large extent
for this riotouS conduct, and if they
can not or will not control their
men, they shonld be promptly re-
moved: Drunkenness, rowdyism
robbery, and even murder are on
the list of the crimes committed by
these soldiers. Better send such
turbulent troops into Cuba at once,
where their energy will be direct
edto'some purpose against the
Spaniards. We are pleased to
note that few Southern troops are
numbered among these rioters.
