WINNq13ORO, S. C. I
Wednesday, Oct. 18, 1905.
Darlington is a darling. She
has joined the ranks of the pro
hibition counties by a vote of ]
683 to 275.
Whether you hold your cotton
or sell it, don't neglect the sowing
of your grain and making other
provisions for raising all your
home supplies.
If some Columbia policeman
could hold up that hold-up man
this week, it wouldn't cause a
hold-up in the attendance upon
the State fair next week.
We acknowlege with thanks
a copy of Cotton Movement and
Fluctuation issued by Latham,
Alexander & Co, New York.
This is the 32nd edition of their
annual publication, which has
become a standard book of re
ference in regard to cotton.
The conviction of ex-Congress
man Murray, the former political
leader of his race in this State
and a land owner, upon the charge
of forgery is a striking evidence
of the capacity of the negro to
imitate the white man all along
the line, in high crimes as well
as petit effences.
The call made elsewhere for a
meeting of the Winnsboro Publie
Library Association this evening
draws attention to the fact that
there is still an organization in
this historic town, which has for
its object the building up of
public library. For the past few
months there has been no attempt
to have a meeting of the As
sociation from the simple fact
that there is but little opportunity
for anything of the kind, while
there is so much coming and go
ing as there is during the vaca
tion period and people are so
little at their regular business.
The Library, or the small nucleus
of a library there is, has not gene
unused, for the librarian's book
shows that the average number
of books taken out each month
has not fallen below the 200
mark, which in itself is not so
bad a showing. This number
would have been larger, if the
library had had more new books
on hand or even a larger collec
tion of old ones. That the nunm
her of books being read monthly is
beginning to decrease emphasizes
very much the necessity that
exists for more booka for the
library. The question that nat
urally arises is: Will those who'
are the most interested in the
maintenance of a library get to
gether and take the necessary
steps for its enlargement, or will
they simzply let what has been ac
complished go to nought for the
want of a proper interest on their
part? That the library has met
a felt want in the community can
be shown in no better way than
by the record as gathered from
the book of the librarian that
more than 2000 books hay, been
taken out since January 1, not to
say anything of the periodicals.
The increaoing the size of the
library so that its present use
fulness may be enlarged, or even
maintained, is a work that will
require even a larger effort than
has been put forth up to the
present time. It is more than
any one person can well do, and
it will be necessary for a united
effort on the part of those in
terested in seeing here a public
library that will be a credit to
the community. What work is
to be done in this direction can
best be pashed at this season,
for soon there will be the denmer
alization that comes from the
holiday season, which is just as
great for the month after Christ
mas as the-, month before. So
the meeting this evening should
be well attended and plans should
be put on foot at once for the I
enlarging of the library, so that
it may largely supply the demands
of the reading public. It will
not do to go backwards in a
movement that should mean so
much to the intellectual life of
the community.
Eighteen months ago the News I
and Herald was enlarged from at
6 to a 7-column quarto, mnaking an,
equivalent of an increase of about I
seven addition~al columns on the I]J
four home-print pages and a like 11
number on the four ready-print &
pages. This enlargement was a
made with the hopes that the
advertising, which had increased i
some, would make still furthler ,.
increase through the better op- I
portunity for making a suitable A
display. It was quite evident inI
the very outset that for se'eral|
months a good deal of plate mat- I
ter would have to be used so as't
to il up the lare sace. And
was thus, though a little bit
!s so all the while. A fact
hichi contributed very much to
creasing the advertising patrox
ge was the purchase of a good
uantity of advertising type,
us making so much better dis
lay possible. This effort to
ive them better service has
een more and more appreciated
y the merchants of Winnsboro.
or several weeks now there has
een no necessity for the use of
ny plate matter at all; in fact,
t-bas been a problem to get I
he advertisemenis :n such a way
s not to make it appear that the -
nsertion of pure reading matter
vas foreign to the policy of the I
)aper. To relieve this condition
wice within the past six weeks
t has been necessary to publish
two-page supplement, and this
week it becomes necessary to
have a four-page supplement,
which doubtless makes this the
largest issue of a paper ever pub
[ished in the county.
Mention of this is not made so,
much for the purpose of calling')
attention to what we have done,
for we realize that at best our
progress has been limited,-but
rather to emphasize the increased
posibilities that come to a
county paper when properly sup
ported by its home merchants.
It may sound like a very one
sided proposition for an editor to
say that it is good business for
the business men of the com
munity to support his paper; and
yet it is a very two- sided one, one
that has its advantages to the
community no less than to the
publisher himself. It is seem
ingly proper for us to venture
the assertion that this issue of
the News and Herald will make
a more favorable impression upon
the people of Fairfield and those
in other counties, carrying, as it
does, so many advertisements and
a corresponding quantity of
reading matter, than any issue of
two or three years ago when
there was never more than-one
fourth to one-third of the mer
chants of Winnsboro using its
advertising columns. Thus it
can be seen that the town is
helped by having a paper that
creates favorable attention on the
part of its own citizens, of those
in the county and of those away
from home. There is this that
the business men of Winnsboro
may be assured of: that the more
liberal advertising patronage they
give the News and Herald, the
larger the efforts that will be
put forth to give them a paper
that will be a credit to the comn
munity.

Corn Shucking and Barbecue.
On Friday evening, October13,
Mr. J. J. McMahan entertained
his friends in a most unique and
charming manner at his place
near Dawkins.
The occasion was an old time
corn shucking and barbecue. The
crowd gathered at 2.30 p. m. and
the time was pleasantly spent,
both boys and girls joining in the
shucking. The corn was in a
huge heap, 550 bushels being in
the pile.
After several hours' working,
laughing and the tender inexpe
rienced hands receiving scratches
and bruises, the heap was dimin
ished to less than one-third its
original size. When supper was
announced, all repaired to the
comfortable farm house with its
huge piazza, which was beauti
fully lighted, and here the sump
tuous table was spread. groaning
under its weight of the most de
liciously prepared meats, hash,
pickles, salads, etc., that I evel
partook of.
All left feeling greatly indebted
to Mr. McMahan and his charm
ing sister, Miss Annie, for the
unique manner in which the
had been entertained.
Mr. McMahan owns valuable
lands in this vicinity and is doing
much for the improvement of
same, Others would do well to
imitate his example.
We hope Mr. Mel.ahan will
some day treat his old friend..
and neighbors to another shuck
ing and barbecue and make us ali
happy. Invited Guest.

How is This for High?
Mr. W. H. Flenniken, the hust
ling representative for Alex.
Sprunt & Sons of Wilmington,
seems determined to beat his last
year's record in buying cotton.
Already his purchases for this
season have gone beyond one
third of a million mark. Friday
alone his purchases went beyond
$35,000, for most of which he
paid 9t cents, the very top of the
market for' that day. But he
never buys any other way. Give
him 'a chance to buy your cotton
ani bear in mind that he also
will be very much pleased to in
sure what you are holding.
