in the way of labor and materialI
and cost of living is soaring skyward
and while of course, the income de-
rived from the paper is many times
greater, yet the expense has more
than outstripped the increased rev.
enue. Where we formerly had one
or two employees, we now have five.
Where we used to consider $1,000
week fair wages for a foreman, now
it is impossible to get one for less
than fifteen to eighteen dollars
week. However, with a modern
plant and equipment, we have been
able to meet competition, and usu-
ally when we get patron we retain
him.
For whatever success and prosper
ity we have achieved, we give the
credit mainly to our friends and
customers.
We mean no mere idle compli-
ment when we say that our lines are
cast in pleasant places and there is
no place anywhere on earth for
which we would exchange our field,
comprising Kingstree and Williams
burg county.
In this connection we most heart
lily thank our loyal subscribers, and
especially our liberal advertisers, for
their generous patronage and, with
al, their patient indulgence OF all
our many shortcomings.

Heinemann, March 17:-Farmers
have to Tighten up" on their work,
so as to get ready for planting.
We are having some very fine
weather now and the farmers are
hauling guano by carloads.
For the past IA months the law
makers have been talking about
Tightening up the primary" 1t is
always the man who gets beat who
wants the primary frightened up"
We would like to have the roads
frightened up" especially south of
Kingstree, for it will not be long be-
fore the next primary election and
somebody will be frightened out"
and then they will go to talking
about Tightening up" again; so the
time to tighten up" is now. Don't
wait till the election is over and then
20 around saying the primary ought
to be frightened up."
The road between Greelyville and
Lanes is in a very bad condition, es-
pecially the swamp sections.
This is what the writer calls beau
tiful weather, but not to last very
long. would suggest to the farm
ers to hold back enough cotton seed
until after April 81, for there will be
great change in the weather on or
about that date. XYZ.

Volume XVIII.

Week before last weeks issue of
The Record marked our twenty
eighth volume, the first issue OF the
paper having been published IN
1885. From the date of its found
ing up to May l, 1S9S,-thirteen
years-The Record had five editors,
viz: Messrs R C Logan, P A
Alsbrook, E G Chandler, W E
Cook and l. J Bristow. May /,
1898, the present editor assumed
the duties and responsibilities OF
the precarious post, and he has
managed to hold on for sixteen
years, albeit at times, we are frank
to say, it has been rough sled
ding" 1t may be interesting to
review the changed conditions since
our essay into the newspaper field.
, When the present editor took hold
the plant-including office equip
ment and all other equipment
barely filled a little room about 10
by 30 feet in size, Now 1t takes
5000 square feet of floor space to
house the plant and there is no
room to spare. At the time re-
ferred to we had from one to two
compositers--sometimes none atail.
We worked an old Washington
hand press that required twenty
four hours constant labor to do the
work that our new Cranston cylln-
der press does in one and half
hours. We have nothing left in
the office of the original plant OF
The County Record save a few
news stands and an imposing stone.
Then, too, it is interesting to
note the development OF the paper.
When the present management as
sumed charge, The Record had an
actual, bona fide circulation OF 62S
copies, eight pages, patent in
side" Now, we run anywhere
from eight to twelve pages every
week, all home print, and the
paper goes to eighteen hundred
ptOtle cV6Iy WYNN
All this denotes the progress that
our town and county have made;
but it has taken work and resource
fulness on our part to keep abreast
with the march of progress. There
have been times when we were at
our wits end to pay the transporta-
ton charges on the paper and print
ing materials that were absolutely
essential to the issuing of the paper.
1t is not quite so hard now; but we
must pay the penalty OF prosperity;
and sometimes we think that we
made more real money in those
days, when the paper was limited to
a small field. For now everything
