Saturday, Dec. 17, 1021. Reading colored journals is all right and just what every colored person should do; but paying for them is of just as much importance* at least to the publishers. * * * The epidemic of giving is near al j hand and some of these folks here- J abouts are shuddering at the pros- j peet. $1.25 will send The Indicator to ? a relative or friend for a year and I serve as a weekly reminder of the j giver. Nothing more appropriate at the price. . . . Every body knows it costs much money to run business, but some j people seem to think that the longer | they wait to pay bill3 the better will j the business thrive. Promises are alright if they are kept but not if not kept. This is a fact that many don't seem to real ize or appreciate; for they pay little or no attention to promises. For that reason more of them bear hard names and rightly so. * * * The president of Morris College Sumter, S. C., hus arranged with the I editor of The Indicator to let the [ public know of the doings of that j great institution through its columns Morris College is the prpde of ! the baptist brotherhood of 1 South ' Carolina and certainly the brother- ! hood will delight to read of ?he do- J ing3 at and around their school each . week. A fine forward-step f which I President Starks has madel * * # j The Indicator welcomes Dr. J. C. 1 White back on the "firing line," as j editor of The Peoples Recorder. While The Recorder is one of the old e3t papers in the State and has done its share of the great work of keep ing our people abreast of the times as well as holding up the light of ? hope to us, while others would turn to us the dark side of the pic ture as it pertains to our group, ! there is still much work for The Re- j corder to do along with the rest of the poorly appreciated papers, and The Indicator welcomes Dr. White's return to help in this great task. As a writer and thinker, Dr. White has but few equals, therefore, we bespeak for The Recorder's edito rials that will broaden its field of use fulness; for the thinking minds really look to the editorial columns of all papers for independent thoughts and opinions. Victory Bank Christmas Club. The time of the year when much money is spent, and that too very needlessly spent, is about here. Thousands of dollars will soon de coming into the hands of our peo ple from Christmas Club savings through various banks in this city This reminds us that it is a duty of ours to remind our thousands of readerst hat The Victory Savings Bank will open up ita Christmas Clubs for 1022 next Tuesday and the officers and directors are hop ing that thousands will open clubs with them. This is a duly to which each of us should conform and pre form. The Victory Savings Bank will give the same financial protection and appreciate more their Christmus Club deposits than others. It has not been the privilege ofcol ored Columbians in former years to have a bank of their own, it is theirs now andthey should show their appreciation by opening up then accounts there next Tuesday. The present location of the bank is 1012 Washington Street. After January 1st. it will be 1107 Wash ington St., in the Jenkins' Building. Start nn account for the baby and the rest of the hcildren next Tuesday in your own bank. You owe it to yourself, you owe it to your children, you owe it to the bank. REV. M. G. JOHNSON. In the sudden passing away or the 8th, of Rev. M. G. Johnson, moved away one of Columbia's old t, must dependable, und upright tizens. Rev. Johnson was indeed great man and did many great ungs in his day. We knew Rev. dutson initimatcly for several ?ars. He was always a quiet un smiling Christian gentleman. In isiness he was ns true to his prom us as tlie cai til is to its orbit, that i, if it was possible for him to eup his promise, and ii* he could ot we could always depend upon im for a satisfactory slaloment nt dat time, giving reasons why. He new that was the honest way to o busines and so governed himself. Just tiie day before his death he ailed at our ellice with a notice to ie published of Iiis free service to he prisoners at the penitentiary he Sunday following with the , tutement that his previous services it the prison had helped the nisoncrs and he wanted to keep it ip. Just before leaving us,he in- " iuired whether he owed us anything for The Indicator. We assured him ' hat he owed us nothing and that if ' ill of our subscribers paid up as promptly as did he, The Indicator would be in better shape and a bet ter paper. Said he, "Well if 1 owe you anything I want to pay up." With this he left us.but little did we think that that was his last visit to our ollice. Rev. Johnson's 44 years pastorate , at Ladson Presbyterian Church, ! his first and only pastorate, is evi dence enough that he was a great and good man. ! Bc it also said that he and h's devoted wile have reared up one of the best families of devoted upright and christian young men and women to be found anywhere. During our several years sojourn in this city we have not heard naught against a single one that would cause father and mother to be ashamed. This in itself is re markable indeed. A great man has fallen in Israel but his good works shall live on. Our New Linotype With a good deal of satisfaction : the editor of the Indicator announces thc installation of a new Linotype. This mechnical marvel qualifies us to serve efficiently the large num ber of persons who look to our pub lication for enlightenment and en tertainment and who patronize our job-printing department. The rapidly increasing circulation of The Indicator, together with our desire to place at the command of our advertisers and others the high est grddc of 'typography, induced us to secure a fine composing machine for the quick and accurate and pleasing presentation of the news of the day, and the production of su- j pcrior job work. : Our new Linotype enables us to ! set by machine many forms of com position that previously necessitated ) tedious work by hand. Our plant is j now capable of turning out compo sition consisting of correct type ! laces in many different S-ZJS, and ! the change from one size to another j is made very quickly. At a high ' rate of speed the versatile operator S --whose hand is made famous by ' the .Mergenthaler Linotype Company j as "the hand that keeps the world informed"--produces line after line of the sort of composition desired. 1 This installation is a testimonial ? to the prosperity of Columbia and I vicinity. And that the good people of the community are duly apprecia tive of our efforts to serve them in all departments of the printing business is manifested by the many compliments received from in dividual patrons since the arrival of I our new machine. The accompnying illustration will give our readers some idea of the marvelous mechan.se of the Linotype, a composing machine on which are assembled matrices (or little brass molds) and lines of type cast lines uch as you are now reading. lies iles enabling the operator to set various faces and sizes of type, our new Linotype makes it poss.hie for to produce the rules and dashes and borders which are used in var.ous advertisements in each issue of our publication. When employed in the composing oi advcrtismcnts newspaper head ings, booklets, cataloguts, ant variou other kinds of printed mattel our new machine tnables one ope rator to set in the same time mon type than ordinarily could be pro du ved by five or six men or womel doing the work by hand-and tin composition is incomparably betttr Whde for a long time we have re ceived the patronage of a host o subscribers, advertisers, and print ing buyers in general, we look for ward to the handling of an eve greater volume of business no\ that we arc so well qualified to rer der tiie S' rt of service most to be dc sired. It has been our nim to present th news of the day without fear or fj , vor, and to reflect faithfully th ideals and ambitions of our constiti ents; and wo shall continue to dovol I The Economy Shoe ?ep?ir Shop \ S J.
