If Cook could "fake" his rec
ords and observations, so could
Peary. 1t may be that Mr. Peary's
discovery(?) of the Pole was sug-
gested by Cooks claim in that
direction. At any rate, 1t is pass
Ing strange that after years of
fruitless effort on the part of
Peary, he should succeed in attain
ing the long.sought goal only after
the news was flashed over the
world that Cook had reached the
Pole. Peary has shown up ugly
all the way and if by the machi-
nations of himself and the, bureau
cratic forces backing him, he
should succeed in damning Cook
before the world, that makes his
task all the more difficult to prove
himself the genuine article as a
polar discoverer. Peary has put
the world on notice to look out
for takers aud if he doesn't look
sharp he will be "hoist with his
petard." The public is fast be-
coming satlated to the point of
disgust with the whole miserable
wrangle.

THURSDAY, DEG. is. 1909.
AS to Free Notices.

We are giving space every week
TO a number of announcement"
of money. making enterprises tor
various benevolent and and phil
antbropic purposes. While these
notices are really nothing more
than advertisements, we have al
ways considered that in printing
them free we were contributing
that much to the various causes
represented. 1t is doubtful
whether many of the. recipients
regard it in that light, however,
since we are often requested to
run the notices for two ard
three issues, TO give special po-
sltion to them, to print them IN
display type and even occasionally
to "wrlte an editorial article"
expatiating on the great degree of
merit pertaining to the cause for
which some particular entertain
ment is given.
These requests are of course
unreasonable, but we feel sure
that they are prompted by
thoughtlessness rather than a
a desire to impose on US. The
advertising columns of a news
paper are Its chief stock in trade
and when space is asked for to
exploit any kind of enterprise it
means nothing less than asking
us for fifty cents or dollar or
more, according to length, of
what we have to sell, to be given
without price.
We have cheerfully granted
these requests and will continue
to do so, as long as they are in
reason, but we cannot afford to
give special position, or set in
display type or run the notices
more than one issue free. Don't
push a good thing along too
hard.

A Word to Xmas Shoppers.

The Record this week con-
tains more local advertising
than any regular issue we ever
printed before and as much
reading matter pertaining to
Williamsburg county has ever
been contained in just an
ordinary weekly issue of the
paper. This speaks well in
deed for the progress of our
county along industrial lines
and it also, demonstrates, as
has often been the case, that
The Record is always ready
to keep pace with, if not a
little in advance of, the march
Of progress.
The public-spirited mer-
chants and other business men
who patronize our advertls-
ing columns enable US to give
our readers such a paper as
we are publishing this week
at a price Of subscription that
is very small indeed, when
the labor and expense in
volved are considered. But
for our advertisers we could
not afford to charge less than
three or four dollars for the
same size paper. These men
are town builders; their Large
spirit of enterprise permeates
the entire county and their
influence extends as far as
the borders Of our State as
representing the genius of
enterprise and energy that is at
tracing the attention of the
whole nation to our own Pal
metto State.
We want the hundreds OF
readers of The Record to help
US to show these advertisers,
who make 1t possible for US to
give this county a first class
local paper, that we appreciate
their cooperation. Take this
issue of The Record and use
it as a business directory.
When you get ready to make
your purchases call on or write
to the merchants whose names
appear in our advertising
columns and, if, you feel so
disposed, speak a kind word to
them for the paper. We know
that it helps d business man to
advertise in The Record, but
the merchant likes direct re-
suits. He may sell $500 worth
of goods to customers who
were led to visit his store by
his newspaper invitation, but
he would appreciate the paper
more if a single buyer told
him that he "saw his 'ld in
the paper" even though that
particular customer bought
only few dollars worth of
goods.
So, let US worl; together.
Help yourself by helping us.
The man who knows he has
the best bargains must adver-
tise them-tell the people about
them. Go to him and you will
almost invariably get better
merchandise tor the same
money.

Telephone Full Of Germs.

There Is q movement among health
authorities to do something to arouse
the public to the danger from the tele-
phone, the disk being a collector Of
germs to some extent. Telephones
should be washed with soap and water
and kept as clean as possible, good
disinfectant also being necessary. The
telephone companies should keep pub
lie, instruments and the booths in a
clean condition. It is suggested that
the telephone be not held to the mouth,
but against the breast when talking
and another precauton is to place
paper or linen over the transmitter.

PAUL PRY CAUSES TROUBLE.

On last Monday night Mr.. Les
ter Kahn, on his way home from
the theatre, was over taken and
roughly handled by a number of
the members of the troup which
hadjust finished Its engagement at
the opera house. He was mistak
On for one of the fleeing young
rascals who had been annoying the
women of the troup by peeping
through the windows OF their
dressing rooms, anil when tie pur
suing actors came upon HIM they
neither waited for. nor asked ex-
plantations, taking Mr.. Kahn en-.
tirely unawares. For this rash
mistake on the part Of the actors
Judge Davis, the next morning,
assessed three of them SO each.
The management of the opera
house, it would seem, could easily
devise some inexpensive scheme
which would afford the women of
tr0ups full protection from the re-
prehensible acts Of these young
h00dlums, who have been playing
the roll of Paul Pry, without ne.
cessitating the stationiug of po
liceman or Waterman at the back
Of the opera house, exposed to all
weathers half the might, on occa-
sions of performances in the build
ing. Those back windows should
not be left as a temptation to
thoughtless boys. The duty Of
this evil rests more |
with the management of the build
ng than it does with the city |
court or the police.

to take himself and three ladies
out for a tour of the city. They
had the Car about five hours, and
when they got back to the New
Willard Hotel, about dark, the
Louisiana man almost dropped
dead y hen he was told his bill was
5000 He protested that the bill
was not only extortlon, but rob.
berry, and swore he would 60
to Jail before he paid it, 4 crowd
gathered, and things were becom

when Representative Broussard
hove in sight. The situation was
explained to him, and the chauf-
feur drove the party and Mr..
Broussard to the garage. There
Mr.. Broussard threatened prose-

missed for 800, or about9 $50 per
hour, and the Louisiana man con.

approved by the committee. for
the reason that that territory is the

The appointment of both my con
