It had been our intention in the begining of the year to call attention to some of the changes that have taken place ia the News and Herald in the five years that it has been under the present management. The heavy press ing duties that have been upon the entire office force as the re sult of moving and the unusual amount of job work have made it will nigh impossible to give pro per notice of the things that were happening without going into any anniversary notice. Now that two months of the year have passed only brief mention should ice made of these changes. First of all the old tri-weekly was discontinued right at the be ginning, as it had been fuNy demonstrated under the former management that it was not a success from a financial stand point. The semi-weekly edition was discontinued at the end of the first year for the very same reason. The weekly edition the second year was only four pages of six columns and sometimes eight pages. Soon it became to be regularly eight pages of six columns. The next year it be came a 7-column quarto. Now it is a regular 12 page paper, not smaller than any other county paper in the state. There has also been a steady growth in the circulation in these years, the net gain having been over four hundred subscribers. With this growth in circulation there has come more than a comparative increase in the ad vertising, especially on the part of the home merchants. This growth has not been a merely happening so. It is the result in part of our well fixed policy to give our home advertisers such a service as would insure them satisfactory results from their advertising. The home merchants have been given the first place in the matter of posi tion and they have not been charged a rate in excess of that charged foreign advertisers. With the News and Herald the homa merchants always come in first, for we filly realize that they are the very best business friends of a local paper, and inci dentally we might add of the readers of the same. It is the best policy for the newspaper and its readers also to stick to the home rcheAnts, for they are the ones that will be fpgnd stick ing to us when there is need for their assistance, Nor is it out of place for us to say in this connetion that this great increase in advertising on the part of the home merchants hs reflected well upon the push of Winnsboro's merchants' both here at home and away from home. Not a few times have we hagrd remarks to the effect that tings rget he moving up at this end of the lie es indictaaed by the larger use of printers inK Incidentally we would lik~e for our merchants to ke e this point well in mind that in adyertising teir own wares the-y are helping to advertise the town. So th0 more merchants who advertise and the more largely they do ad vertise, the better will be their advertisen.ment of Winnsboro. Winnsboros merchants too have shown an appreciation of our eforts to better serve them in the mattr of grst class job printing by giving us a gory l*grge per cent of their job wok Whil we have done well for themn in the past, our present facilities are very much greater and they can now have all their needs in this very important item supplied here at home. While there has been decided growth in every department, still graer things are being planned and with the incigase in fcilities that have beein mae a.s the result of many recent in~provs: ments, we haye erry reascon to confidently expoc4 thse plas to be realized. The changes in the mechanical departm ent have not been fol l wed by any changes in the editorial policy of the paper. Te politics of the News and lerldt is the same as that penned by gs in oar first editorial for these coumns fve years ago: Fairfield county i r politics. To this fixed editorial policy we sall try to adheru in the future, as we fgye in the past. What ever many be agoiews o~W n public questions of a geneiral natstrs and however we may go astray in or conl usions as to these vital issues, we shall never fail to gie our very best efforts for idvancing the interests of this old county that has such a glori ouis past ;nd that is capable of such wonderful improvements. ncased conidence of the peo ple of the county in 1heir own possiblities will not orAy arouse them to greater things. but will also go far to stimulate others to coming in here. Let every one in the county believe more strongly in his town or community and a better day will be sure to come to all. Fairfield county is the best county for the people of Fairfield and for all others whc want to live in the best county. Letter to S. D. Dunn. Winnsboro, S. C. Dear Sir: The Fair Ground buildings, Cobleskill, N Y, were painted Devoe last year. Two other-paint agents said the job would take 1 50. gallons (their price was 15 cents less a gallon.) Ou agent said not over 125. It took 115. We saved 'em at least $140 on paint and labor. The American House, Tenners ville, N Y, was painted two coats last year; one Devoe. Mr Charles Haner, across the street, put-on one coat Devoe. Mr. Wiltse (American House) is sorry he didn't paint Devoe. Haners one coat was better than Wiltse's two. Depends on the paint.
