The seagull makes a splendid hV-

gulls fly seaward early in the morn
ing sailors and fishermen know that
the day will be fine and the wind
fair, but if the birds keep inland,
though there be no haze hanging
out toward the sea to denote un-
pleasant weather, interested folk
know that the elements will be un-
favorable. Of all weatherwise fish
the dolphin is the most remarkable.

Mr. w H Welch With The
Record.

With the change in the ownership
of The County Record as stated
above. the business management of
the paper passed into the hands of
Mr. w H Welch.
Mr. Welch needs no introduction
mere to many of our subscribers and
patrons. He came from Sanford.N
C, in 1914, and assumed the manage
ment of the Klngstree Insurance, Real
Estate & Loan Co, in which capacity
he has since served at the same time
making a valuable addition to the
citizenship of the town and county.
His connection with The County
Record will in no way affect his con-
nectio n with the Kingstree Insurance
agency and those who have interests
in it may feel satisfied that the same
will receive prompt and accurate at.
tention in the future as in the past.
We are glad to have Mr. Welch on
our staff, and feel sure that his SER
vices in connection with the paper
will be of great benefit to The Rec
ord and its subscribers. 1t is our
purpose with this change to give the
public better service than we have
heretofore been able to render, and
in our efforts to do this we ask the
hearty cooperation of all friends and
patrons of the paper.

Mr. e c Epps Acquires Inter-
est in The County Record.

Having purchased Mr. Wallace's
interest in The County Record. it is
incumbent upon me to state that my
connection with the paper will not be
that of an active participant in the
routine work of the Office.
The services of Mr. w H Welch,
who is 80 we'll and favorably known
in this town and county as manager
of the Kingstree Insurance, Real Es.
tate and Loan Co, have been secured
to assist in the management of the
paper, and he, with MIR Tolley, will
conduct the affairs of the enterprise.
My connection with the paper will
in no way change its general policy,
but rather to uphold and strengthen,
if possible, that which it has previous
ly pursued, to build up and defend
the interest of the citizens of this
town and county. Under no condi-
ton or circumstance will individual
interests, business partiality or politi-
cal influences as regards the county
in which The Record lives and serves
be tolerated or condoned in its COL
umns.
Unselish service shall be my aim.

IN tne preliminary IepoIt VI Iiie oe-
partment of agriculture. The total
acreage is2, 2,OO1, 900 acres. All South
ern States except North Carolina and
Tennessee show greater acreage this
year than last.
What no amount of legislation and
no multiplicity of warnings could
accomplish in years has been brought
to pass in a few brief weeks by the
entrance of the United States into the
world war-the railroad tramp and
the hobo have magically disappeared.
Anyone caught on railroad right
of-way these days must have means
of proving instantly that he is above
suspicion, or he will find himself in
serious trouble with Uncle Sam.
The high tide in wbiskey and beer
receipts and presumably in consump-
ton was reached during the fiscal
year now closing. The cigarette
smokers of the nation also smoked
more than ever before. Ordinary
internal revenue receipts, composed
chiefly of taxes on whiskey. beer and
tobacco, were$424, 900. 900. compared
with $365, 100000 last year. A large
part of the increase in tobacco con-
sumption is believed to be due to the
growing popularity of cigarettes
among women.
