P liS f !SiliED WIEKLY TERMS, IN ADVANCE: ix . m anths..................------- -- .75 Wednesday, December 20, 1906. Build more homes. They are sorely needed. Winusboro has suffered more from the want of homes than for any other reason. The rent of property here for sev eral sears past has been entirely too cheap, so much so as to pre vent those with means from in vesting in houses to rent a n d others from attemptingito own their own homes. Make an effort to own your own home. Pro perty is cheap here comparatively. and there will never be a better time for building your own home than now. So build your own home if possible. if you can not build a home, at least buy a lot so you can look forward to own ing it later. The owning of real estate in your home town will make you a better citizen. Go it on the cash basis as far as possible. The closer compe tition in all lines of business make smaller profits necessary. It is not possible for mercLants to sell for a cash basis on lorrg time. Pay the cash. If you can uot do this, than arrange it so that th merchant can realize cash for the goods sold. If you can not pay the cash and can make no satisfactory arrange meuts for your merchant to get the cash, then the way is per fectly clear for you to do without. Wiunsboro has been run on the credit basis too long. Finally let all pull together for the upbuilding of the town. It union there is strength. With all pulling together 1907 will witness some decided progress in Winnsboro. So mote it be. It is jat as easy for communi ties to get into bad habits as it is for individuals. The habits o i lQoking at all busines enterprises however successful elsewhere, as necessaiily failures here is one of the habits that Winnsboro has fallen into. In the bAgining of our new:spaper career here six vears ago we were told that, though advertising paid in other comnmunties, Winnsboro washso ditlerent from other places that it did not pay here. After about two or three years experience we had almost reached the concloxsion that may be the merchants;. who made this plea knew sotne thing Tbout what they were talk ing about. So we made a set to for the purpose of seeing whether they were right in practice or- we wrong in our theory about th~e use of printers' ink being a trade getter. Fortunately we struck upon two or three advertisements just at this time that were s o direct the merchants saw that there was no mastake about it that thay had been enefitted thereby. So they,kept on adv. r tising and others seeing that they were sticking to it tried the ex periment and they have been sticking too. The result has been most satisfactory and from a paper carrying fewer adver tise ments perhiaps than any other in the whole state TIhe News and Herald now has an advertising patrounage scarcely second to that of any other we.ekly in South Carolna: So in impressing the lesson that it does pay to ad vertise Thbe News and Herald has rend e! ed good'service in demon. strati :g that one3( thing hitherto ooked a 'u i. a very I a r g e mesurt- azs an imp)ossiblity has ben accompr}lishied. When a opiler te.tche'* a conniuunity that 5 m to adev'm t i-e it has rend 'r1d it a servic.' tha:t will be sure to continue~ to bew.r goed fruits. G.a it do--s p ' thte (can be no :ul t. Its a n'ts may not !w s be seen, tot t Ley are sure to come. The zu1ney expended in printers ink is th:e very best in ve.stment th:d a merchant can make. If a,y one looks upon his advei Vi:g money as an expense e is l'adly mistaken. It is all ight in making your plans for the new year to cut down every need less expense, but let no merch ant make the sad mistake o f discontinuing an investment that promises such sure returns as advertising. It is well to begin the new year by looking forward and not.back ward. Communities as well as individuals should make new year resoltions and what is more should keep them. These are Vroprso.d for the people of Winns ro in;d'vidually and collectively. Clivate the habit of speakir?g eil for so ir town. TI ere is noth ng to bc gained by sour decry a cPtry thinfg ini your town un l,s' it in: ti.o cooperation of out Mer i helpin~g you to think t ess highly of yours elf than you ~nn d. If there is good in yonr 0 wn. and there is, say so and lo.se 5, no opportunity thberefor. If there n ar any udct-and they are iere too-why just keep them in a he family and set about remedy ng them The town.is jast a larger family Lnd its shortcoming shonld be ept as family secrets. Trade at home just as far as >6ssible. Ever dollar sent else vhere:is-he taking away-the poss blities.of your home .town mak ng the advance it should. Give: ;be *home merchant a chance. Even ifheis not keeping the goods our constant going to him for them will enedurage him to keep ust what is: needed. Make some permanent munici pal improvements. It has been proposed to pave the streets. Surely -othing is more needed than this.: Good streets are the biggest advertisement that any town can. have. The paving of the treets is easily possible. So let the people of WiDnsborO deter mine to have their streets paved and the work can' be done. Give more -attention to civic improvement, The keeping.of the places of' business and of the homes -in a good condition is a decided advantage to any fown. It is avery citizen's duty and privilege to make his premises -appear to the very best advantage. Seek to bring some new enter prises to town. They are needed and can be had. The time is iipe for small --manufacturing enter prises. Just .wh4t is beet to un lertake first is not known. A. hosiery mill has been- proposed. Look fully into this proposition and if it is not the thing, then let something else be tried. At least let one new manufact uring enterprise be recorded for; the year 1907.
