The Washington correspondent OF
the News and Courier states authori-
tatively that after an interview be-
tween President Roosevelt and John
G Capers-the renegade who holds
the office of district attorney IN South
Carolina-it was decided to put out
white Republican candidates for con-
gress in every district in South Caro-
lima. Surely this announcement will
wake up the Democrats of the Sixth
district. Remember there is only
one more opportunity to register Mon
day, October 8, before the general
section.

A Hopeful Sign.
&. w. WOLFE,
kingstree. sc.

A man in the upper part of the
State became conscience stricken re-
Gently on account of having defraud-
ed cot ton mill out of five dollars
by selling it bale of water-packed
cotton aud refunded that amount to
the mill. 1t is hopeful and en-
couragirg sign to see mems consclen-
ces thus quickened, and maybe some
of the hardened old sinners who after
reading this paper for several years
without paying a cent for it will
finally come up and pay this honest
debt. If men would only be honest
in their dealings with one another
how soon the millennium would
come!

A horrible wreck occurred last
Saturday on the Southern railroad,
near Knoxville, Tenn, in which
fifty-four people were killed outright
and about thrice that number in
jured. Since the accident occurred
the death list has grown to sixty
two and the comp lete list of the in
jured as given by the railroad Off
cials numbers 162. The wreck re-
suited from collision caused by
disobedience of orders by the engi-
neer, who answered with his life
this deleliction of duty.

We publish this week an appeal to
Democratic voters from State Chair
man Willie Jones, urging them to 60
to the polls and vote for the nolni,
nees of the party. When the need
of an overwhelming majority in the
South has been so frequently and so
urgently impressed upon the people
of this and other States, 1T seems
that an appeal like this should not
be necessary at this time, when there
is good chance of electing a Dem
,cratic president; and yet the expe-
rience of former election years dem
onstrates the fact that only about so
per cent. of the white men of our
State, who in the primary pledge
to support the nominees,
have sufficient regard for their obli-
cation to take the trouble to vote In
the November election.

lished elsewhere in this issue, there
are some schools in this county en-
fifle.! to State aid in establishing
school libraries. AS we remember it
1--WE have not Il copy If the bill at
hard) the law provides that any pub-
lie school that raises Ten dollars
for library purposes may have this
amount supplemented by ten dol
lars from the State, up to the num-
Der of twelve libraries in each
county. Three schools, we are m
formed, have complied with the pro
visions of the act, which leaves the
county still entitled to State aid for
nine more more school libraries. On
December 81 of this year the time
limit under the Aull act will expire.
1t seems strange that only three
schools nave up to now taken ad-
vantage of the act referred to-.
While it is true that twenty dollars
Is a small sum to start a library
with, yet how many schools in the
county are there whose pupils have
access to no books save the pre-
scribed text books? Everything has
to have beginning and once a Ii
brary is started and the interest of
a community aroused to the advan-
tages of surh an adjunct to its
school, it is generally the case that
the number of books keeps steadily
increasing. Moreover, we believe,
the State board of education has ar
ranged with certain publishers to
furnish these library books to school;
at wholesale prices and in that way
the sum invested will 60 much far
ther than might be supposed.
By all means let the boys and
girls of nine schools in the
coun ty bestir themselves and prompt,
ly raise ten dollars each so as to be
eligible to claim the balnace of the
rural. library fund to which Viii
liamsburg county seems to be enti
tied.

"Sornething to Fill Up"


Very often it happens that one of
cur readers sees something in an
other newspaper that exactly accords
with his views On a certain s1.bject
and it pleases him so we'll that he
clips the article and sends it to us fer
publication. Now we appreciate
these attentions and are always glad
to accommodate our friends when it
is practicable to do so, but in many
instances the clippings thus submit
ted are 80 long that to publish them
would cut into the space we always
reserve for local and county affairs.
In not publishing these articles we
are doubtless often misunderstood. 1t
IS hard for the public to realize how
much country newspaper is handi-
capped at times. One week perhaps
we have all the space needed and
really find difficulty in obtaining
news enough-local news, We mean-
to "6ll up" then maybe the next
week there comes in enough matter
to fill paper twice the size of our
avehicle of thought"
At all times We give the preference
TO local matters and the discussion
of topics of county interest. We get
hundreds of exchanges every week,
90 that there would be not the slight
est difficulty in filling our columns
with reprint selections, many OF
which are of literary and intrinsic !ex-
cellence. But In our opinion the
only excuse for the existence of a
county newspaper is to furnish coun-
ty news. There are many other
papers coming to our subscribers;
but we hatter ourself that The RE.
CORD has its own particular little
niche to fiil-one that is not occu
pied BY any other paper-and when
we are convinced that we fail to re-
feet the deeds and opinions of those
who inhabit our own little circum-
scribed sphere, then will We consider
our usefulness ended and be ready to
give place to some more worthy sue
cessor in tf'eheld of local journalism.
