Will You Help Us.

A few weeks ago we mailed cards
to large number of our subscrib-
ers notifying them that their SUBJ
scription to The County Record had
already expired or was about to ex-
pire and requested each to call and
make renewal. We knew that most
of those to whom notices were sent
were selling tobacco. getting a good
price for it and would want to pay
up. We are not very we'll pleased
with the result so far, as not more
than 20 per cent of our readers have
responded to the notices sent out.
therefore their names must and will
be stricken from our mailing lists
within the next week or two.
To those who are several years in
arrears, we must say that being old
subscribers. many of them having
taken the Record since it was start.
ed thirty odd years ago. that we
must have what is due US now. We
have carried you on our list, for the
reason that you were an old subscrib-
er and felt that you wanted the pa.
per continued. We knew of the mis-.
fortunes that have befallen you the
past three years and reasoned that
it would be ingratitude on our part
to discontinue the paper to an old
and faithful subscriber when he was
in hard luck and failed to pay up
simply because he couldn't. This
case doesn't hold good with the ma
jority of you at this time, and is a
final word before discontinuing the
paper. we ask you to settle up.
Mind you. paper. ink, and in fact
everything used in the production
of The Record during the time it has
been going to you regularly without
pay, has cost US from 100 to 800 per
cent more than it cost US before the
war began, and yet there is no abate.
ment in these enormous increases in
sight and We need the money that is
Justly due US to carry on our busi-
ness and keep the old Record-the
peoples paper-going.
Only. this week we have had an
additional expense that was like q
stiff blow on the solar plexus. We
had to buy and install new engine,
for we can't operate without power,
and our old engine gave way worn
out from usage.
Come across. friends, with what
you owe US. If you can't bring it
to our office, then send tive will
appreciate it.

Who's Selling Intoxicants il
Kingstree?

Complaint was made to US some
time ago that q certain man from
the country goes home drunk every
time he comes to Kingstree. Other
instances have been called to our at
tention which cause US to conclude
that Intoxicating drinks, in some
form, are being dealt out to people
here illegally. This thing ought to
stop. 1t is to be regretted that we
have any citizens in this town
white or black-who have such
utter disregard for the law as to be
guilty of doing such dirty crime.
We ought to have enough respect
for the moral welfare of the young
manhood of the community to re-
fuse to stoop to such thing. We
bate to admit that the law is being
violated in this respect; but it is
true nevertheless.
If any person or persons, business
concern, corporation or whosoever
the violator may be, has no
more self.respect or interest in the
welfare of the young manhood of
the town and county, We hope that
the authorities will get busy and
bring such offenders to justice.
Kinestree has the reputation for
the enforcement of law. We have a
good police force, who do everything
thew can for the welfare of the town
but if this thing is not. stopped, we
shall soon lose our good reputation.
So we hope the proper authorities
will get busy. catch the guilty party
or parties and bring them to justice
and to a term on the chaingang.

OTHER COUNTRIES OF
THE WESTERN WORLD
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL

Buenos Aires, Marcn 2S.-South
America is apprchensive that entrance
of the United States into the war may
seriously affect it's finances. From high
sources in Argentine today the belief
was expressed that such a step by the
United States-now regarded as GER
ttin-would result in concentration of
American money into war measures
and result in a curtailment of foreign
loans except to the allies fighting
against &C rmany.
In any event officials closely in
touch with Latin American sentiment
declared all other American nations
would remain neutral, no matter what
course was adopted 10y the United
States.
The Argentine press today was with
out comment on the extra session cal
in the United States and the war-like
preparations started there.
Henceforth Argentine's foreign poll
icy will be under direction of Fernando
Saguier. His acceptance of the port
folio was announced today. Person
ally Sasuier is pro-ally, but 1t is gen.
orally und crstood in Argentine circles
that he will be merely rubber stamp
personality for President Irigoyen. The
post of minister of forein affairs has
been vacant for several months.

Indianapolis, March 23.-The 500

on account Of war conditions, James A.
Allison, of the Speedway company, an
nounced today Allison said he would
turn his big race car manufacturing
plant over to the government for the
making Of airpIane motors.
"Sports has no right in the minds Of
Americans when their country needs
their attention." said Allison. "Raeing
means the taking away from the gov
eminent services Of skilled mechanics
whose services can be used by the gov
eminent to better advantage than by
a speedway as a means of entertain
ment. Many materials used in racing
will become absolute necessities in case
of war;"

TURN OUT RIFLES
AT A RAPID RATE

Washington, March 23.-With ia
cilities for producing 1900 rifles day,
the government arsenals at Springfield
and Rock Island are today turning out
only about" 500 every "a hours.
Up to Sept. 1, Springfield was turn
ing out so or 60 rifles daily; the rifle
works at Rock Island had been idle for
years.
There are available today approx
mately 100000 Springfield rifles of the
latest type used by the army. There
are also available about 100000 Krags
that had been discarded for the new
model, but which are still 8 rvice-
able.
According to Representative Hull.
Republican, of Iowa, member of the
house military committee, ii is the
fault of congress that the government
plants have not been turning out more
rifles. The army appropriation bill
would have furnished money needed
for this purpose had it not been killed
when the ~ wilful'' filibusterers
blocked all legislation at the last ses-
sion.
Hull said the factories would shortly
be running full time however.
