The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1910-12-15

credit, TO avoid MISUNDERSTANDING
we have to repeat this from week to
week. Some people forget so quick
ly.
That Williamsburg real estate is
appreciating in value was strikingly
demonstrated here last sa|es-day
when 1877 acres of land near Gre ely
vile, belonging to the estate of G M
Richburg, brought SIS, $50, averaging
little more than S43 the acre. We
had this item noted for last weeks
issue but there are so many OF these
little things to look after that it is
well-nigh impossible to marshal them
all in a row at the time needed.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that our terms for job printing
are cash on delivery. We are depend
ent on this source of revenue to
meet our weekly payroll. Printers
accept no excuse Saturday evening
in lieu of their wages. If you don't
intend to pay cash for your work we
can't afford to handle it. Our prices
and the quality of our work will
compare favorably with any office in
the State, but we must have cash for
job work or cut out that department.
We understand that three pack
ages Of last weeks issue of The
Record failed to reach their respec-
tive destinations. We wrap these
packages as carefully as possible,
even taking the precaution TO tie
twine around wrapper after it is
pasted. That is about all we can do,
it seems, yet we would thank each
subscriber to notify us when he
misses his paper and we will make
every effort to find out where the
fault lies.
We are informed that the pack
age of papers addressed to Greely-
vile postoffice last week never got
there. This package left our office
properly addres ,ed, our mail man
tells us, as did all the others. We are
sorry, of course. but if the United
States mail loses or destroys our
packages, we certainly are not to
blame. We wrap the packages care
fully. but it seems to do no good, it
matters not how hard we try to get
the paper to our subscribers after
all the labor and worry of printing
it.
Once more we have. to remind cor
respondents that Tuesday, noon, is
the extreme, final limit to accept
articles of length for the current
week. We have several belated
articles this week that came in after
the time limit expired. We make
the time as long as possible; many
papers make Monday noon the final
hour. 1t may seem the uninitiated
that few hours overtime makes
no material difference, but after
Monday every hour in a weekly
newspaper office counts as two
prior to Monday,
The subscriptions of about 500 of
our reliable. paid-in-advance sub
scribers have run out since Septem-
ber or will expire between now and
January. We ask these friends to
please renew promptly, that we may
know how we stand by January
If you want your paper discontin-
uhd advise us and it will be prompt
ly cut off. We work too hard to get
out the paper to have it enter one
unwelcome home,if we know it. Re-
member that unless you are paid
year in advance the price of sub
scrlption is $l.25. This applies to all.
The good people of Kingstree
will have with them for another
year both the presiding elder of
this district and the pastor of Kings
tree Methodist church. These faith
full servants have wrought hard and
earnestly in the Masters Vineyard
and the news of their return causes
general satisfaction. Mr. Fairy is
we'll liked here both as a preacher
