WALHALLA, 8. Ct
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY IR, i?M)8.
A WORD TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The United States Government has
recently promulgated a new order for
the post office department-one that
affecta every newspaper in the coun
try directly, and thousands of news
paper readers indirectly. The order
was sent in to go Into effect Janu
ary 1st, 1908, and if there is no sus
pension of the order to permit of
newspaper publishers adjusting their
business to the new ruling, there
will, of course, be a decided hard
ship worked to many, as few had no
tice of tho law until it was ready for
operation. This new rule Jmposes a
fine of one cent pen/four ounces for
all weekly papers sent out on wbic^
the subscriber owes more than tu~ j
price of one year's subscription;
semi weeklies where the subscriber
owes more than nine months; tri
weeklies, six months; dailies, three
months.
We reproduce below what The
State's, correpondent had to report
on the matter:
"H'jnry B. Varner, of Lexington,
N. C., president of the National Edi
torial Association, is in Washington
to urge the Post Office Department
to postpone for six months the new
ruling of the department in regard
to lapsed subscriptions to newspa
pers and periodicals.
"An order promulgated on Decem
ber 4 denies to publishers the privi
lege of sending copies to subscribers
as such after a specified term follow
ing the expiration of the subscrip
tion. This ruling becomes a law to
day. Hereafter publishers of week
ly newspapr?? cannot carry (subscrib
ers in arrears more than one year,
semi-weeklies more than nine
months, tri-weeklies longer than six
months, and dailies longer than three
months. For each violation the pub
lisher will be fined one cent for each
four ounces. Since the average news
paper weighs four ounces or less,
each paper sent to a subscriber in
arrears for a longer period than in
dicated will cost the publisher one
cent fino. This law will not effect
the big dalles very materially, but
It will make a change in the man
agement of weeklies and seml-week
lles.
"Mr. Varner, who ls proprietor of
the Lexington Dispatch, says the
newspaper publishers do not object
to the law, but simply wish more
time to prepare themselves and their
subscribers for Its actual operation.
He will see Postmaster General
"Meyer and urge an extension for six
months. Ho declares few newspa
per publishers know of the law and
fewer newspapor subscribers."
It is to be hoped that Mr. Varner's
efforts to have the date of operation
extended six months will prove ef
fectual. The newspapers of the
country were not prepared for adjust
ing themselves to tho new rule at a
moment's notice, and if lt ls made
operative from January 1st many
papers will lose heavily, and all will
be affected moro or less.
Wo have no objection whatever
to offer to tho new rule, save as to
the short notice. As a matter of
fact, we think it is a good rule, and
one that will prove beneficial alike
to newspapers and their subscribers
ns soon as they can all be adjusted
to the now arrangement.
We do not often bother our sub
scribers for monoy or worry them
unreasonably about their papers, but
under the new rule we will be com
pelled to have remittances from a
few of our friends if we continue to
?end Tho Courier after the order
becomes effective. We, therefore,
ask all our subscribers to look at
the labels on their Couriers, and, if
liOhind, to remit. We could not af
ford to pay a penalty amounting to
one-half of the subscription price of
The Courier for the privilege of
fending out the paper on long credit.
Do not neglect this. We would re
gret, to discontinuo a single paper
now going to our more than two
thousand subscribers, and we hope
that we will not be forced to do so.
Assist us to keep within tho law,
and at. the same time to serve you,
by remitting and back dues to The
Courlor. Until we are advised there
will be no extension of the time wo
will not cut down our '1st by taking
off thoso who arc outside the new
law, but wo stand subject lo a pen
alty for each subscriber who owes
na more than a year if wo are held
to the rule from January 1st.
For this reason we urge each of
our subscribers to at once come to
our assistance* with ready cash for
all past indebtedness.
Do not neglect this. When tho
new rule has been tried for a while
it will be Hkod better by the sub
scriber than the old way.
Over and Over Again.
Over and over again,
No matter which way I turn,
I always find in the book of life
Some lesson I have to learn.
I must take my turu at the mill,
I must grind out the golden grain,
I must work at my task with a reso
lute will,
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
Of even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden
sands,
That run through a single hour;
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part and perform it
all
Over and over again.
O vor and over again
The brok through the meadow
flows,
And over and over again
The ponderous mill-wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not In vain,
And a blessing falling us once or
twice
May come If we try again.
- -Josephine Pollard.
Lame Shoulder Cored.
Lamo shoulder is usually caused
by rheumatism of the muscles and
quickly yields to a few applications
of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Mrs.
F. H. McBlwee, of Boistown, New
Brunswick, writes: "Having been
troubled for some time with a pain In
my left shoulder, I decided to give
Chamberlain's Pain Balm a trial,
with the result that I got prompt re
lief." For sale by J. W. Bell, Wal
halla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca.
Telephone Girl's Loft Ear.
(Philadelphia Bulletin.)
"Left eared," said the physician,
".dost of you gl*ia a^e."
"Left eared?" said the young lady
from the telephone exchange.
"Yes, left eared. The same as
left-handed. That ls to say, is your
left ear better at its work than your
right one?"
She did not know, so he tested her,
Anding, sure enough, that her left
ear was a little acuter of the two.
"It ls a natural thing," he said.
"You girls use the left ear exclu
sively all day long in your telephone
work, and the right ear has nothing
to do. Hence the left, like a muscle,
develops; the right atrophies.
"Indeed," he ended. "If the tele
phone comes into much greater use
we shall have not merely left-eared
exchange girls, but we shall become
a loft-eared nation."

NATURE
ANO A WOMAN'S WORK
Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known
In tho good old-fa.?'.doned days of
our grandmothers they relied 'Von
the roots and herb* of the ?elu to
erne disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots arid
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From tho roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, moro potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 616 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes :
M Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other sufferipg women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years I had been suffer
ing with tbe worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Plnkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re*
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women." %
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

BIBLE IN THE COLLEGES.
Statistics of the Religious State of
Athletes, Presidents and Others
Clayton S. Cooper, Brown, '94,
gave a talk recently to the students
in the Brown chapel on Bible study
in American colleges. He gave some
figures of Bible study in American
colleges.
In 595 institutions canvassed he
found that there were 34,494 men
in Hillie classes. In 117 institutions
there were 3,022 fraternity men who
knew the Bible from the inside.
There were some detailed figures of
thc study in 241 colleges where there
were:
Class presidents. 614
Members of college glee clubs.. 1,051
Members of base ball teams. .. 815
Members of foot ball teams. . . 950
Members of track teams. 630
Members of basket ball teams. 412
Editors of college papers. 660
Prize and scholarship men. . . . 646
Total.6,7 7 ?
No attempt ls made to draw a
moral from these figures, although it
might be inferred that college edi
tors aro less unregenerate than bas
ket ball players, track athletes, class
presidents and honor men, for in
stance, and that the foot ball man
manages to take time enough off
from bis signal study to read his
Bible pretty thoroughly.
Mr. Cooper has some richer figures
to show the growth o? Bible study
from 1901 to the present year. In
1901 there were J.0,871 men engaged
in the work; in 1902, 12,219; in
1903, 15,990; in 1904. 25.260; in
1905, 30,199, and In 1906, 33,157.
The greatest gain was directly af
ter 1903. Yale University is the
most devoted to Bible study; next to
the University of Illinois.
