GOVERNMENT FORGES CASH-IN- fa
ADVANCE SYSTEM. 1111
It was not our purpose for the "
present at least to refer again to the l,H
matter of our subscription list. A ^
recent ruling of the post office do- 811
.partmen-t, however, as will appear
from (he extracts which we give lo
herewith, makes it necessary.
Wo arc frank to admit that we ,<(
have l>ocn very much worried recent- W(
IV ' > I'cgard to the host policy for n."
us to pursue, and in view of the fact (''J
"that many of those whom we have '''
indulged and to whom wo sent 111*
y J'apcr, in some cases for many years
without payment, when a statemen: no
is sen| them and a request is made
thai tlrey ought |?? pay something* of
what they mv <lue, (Iroy become of- Sl11
tended and make in some cases ex- ?'fl
cuscs that they nevei' ordered I lie ('<>1
paper or that tlrey ordered il stop- da
ped and Iherelore do not intend to fe<
pa> lor it, nad very strongly in- tin
(dined us to adopt the cash in ad- *sci
vanco system. Since this ruling by tin
the department it now becomes iroo- on
cssary thai we shall do so. go
We have not received any instruc- 0,1
lions from the post ollice further til"
loan the 'extracts which wo g*ive bo- ^
low Iron, the daily papers. We re- n<>
grot to admit (hat when we cut off an
all of those who are in arrears that
it will very materially reduce our I"'
list,-hut we will then know just "n
what the list is worth and will also nii
find out whether those who have
been indulged for many years appreciate
what we have do.ie for them ('
b\ the way in which they come for- |o
ward and pay for the paper in order to
to have il continued ro (heir address.
Ol course'we shall expect those who jH
are in arrears to pay what is due and |;,
it thev are not in position To pay a?l ii:
<>f it at present, we shall be forced
to a>k that (hey pay at least some- <j(
thing which we can date from the Sl.
<irsl of January on the advance sub- n|
script ion and we will Id ()j; |j,0 'cy
past due remain until arraiitfumvmtn n,
can be made for its payment. j;,
We trust, however, that those who (>i,
are in arrears will be able to pay m,
what is due in order that the paper m,
may be continued to Iliein and also |<(
the subscription for l!)08. The latter iM|
is necessary in order that we may be vj,
permitted to send the paper. As |
will be seen from the ruling* of the |i|,
post ollice department at Washing- ()(|
Ion we are prohibited from sending
the paper without the advance pay- ,,fl
tuent. We would be glad if the rule
would not be put in force for a lit- vvj
tie while so thai our subscribers may
have opportunity lo get their sub- jn
script ions a rranucd.
S (11
We have :in doubt that' this arrangement
will be more satisfactory |l)l(
to all parties concerned. We do not
kee, however, what business it is to ,(*
tue government whether we v?xtend j()
-credit to those who desire the paper
or not, but it is their decision that 'wj
we shall not and of course unless |()1
wo conform lo this decision we can
not send the paper through the mail.
We trust that all of our subscrib- |?
ers will appreciate the situation and
will make arrangements s0 that they
wil not miss any issue of (he paper. _
R
'Since writing tin; above the post 'pj,
ollli'o at Newberry has given us a
Copy ot the instructions which they jt)
have received, and under these in- k
struetion we are given until the lirst j?
ol April, 1908, to place the paper on s^,
"a cash in advance svstcin. ?
. ' ot
Under this ruling of the depart- mi
ment we will be forced at that time tin
to cut off all of those who are in ar- <.0i
rears. We beg our subscribers to y>,.
hear this in mind and come forward tie
between this date and the first of sr;
A * > ri I and renew their subscriptions, t li
otherwise their names will have to w|
he taken from our list. We shall ro- ?|*
grel to part with any of those who ||(>
have been subscribers and readers v>r
ot I he Herald and News for many ,,|(
years but there is no option loft to f(.
the editor and on the first of April ?
all who are not paid up will have to be
bo dropped from the mailing list.
The department at Washington
wants to enforce this rule so that
-class of papers which arc not legiti- fr
male newspapers may he denied the ci
privileges which are granted to legi- t r
limate ewspaper publishers, and in 'it:
the end we are convinced that it will Mi
work to the advantage of the sub- li
scriher as well as the publisher. There gi
ean Chen be no question of the dif- w
fe?*enco of accounts. hi
We are no*v sending each of our pi
subscribers a statement. of indebted- re
uess up to the first of January and li
m ?
t the lii'.sl ol' March we will again
>tify each subscriber how his subription
stands ami call his atten:>n
to the fact that if he has not
iid in advance by the first of April |
s name will be dropped from the i
it. After that date we will eiuleav-|
to have our mailing list corrected
jnthly.
We again ask that you bear the
cts stated in mind and that you will
ike your arrangements to pay for
le Ilerahl and News and not force
to take your name from ihe list,
paid each year the amount is very
mil and will be much easier to each
bscriber than to let it accumulate
r several years.
The following from the Columbia
jcord is the llrst intimation that
had of this ruling by the depart?nt
an.l again in yesterday's spoil
to the State from Washington
e following appeared.
The subscribers to The Herald and
mvs will therefore see that there is
option left for the publisher.
The postotlice department has ist'd
an order to the effect that licrcler
newspaper subscribers must be
Heeled in advance. The order is
led December 4, and goes into ef:;t
January 1. It is provided in i
i' order that no delinquent sub iber
sliall be carried longer than
rce months. The reason for the
iler is found in the fact that the
vcrnmcnt allows a very low rate
nowspapei*s postage, assuming
2 postage to be only for the beneof
bona fide subscribers and real
wspapers. It is not intended tHiat
y advertising schemes shall share I
the benefits. By limiting the mail
ivileges to actual subscribers, the
vernment will save money on its
lil contracts.
' !
Henry U. Varncr of Ijcxinglou. X.
, president of the National Kdirial
association, is in Washington
urge the postollice department to
st poire for six montflis the new rulg
of the department in regard to
sped subscriptions to newspapers]
id periodicals.
An order promulgated on Dec. I.
iiies to publishers the privilege of
iiding copies to subscribers as such
ter a specified term following the
piratiou of th?? wurtvaevvplioii. Tills
ling becomes a law today. Ilereafr
publishers of weekly newspapers
n not carry sul)scrilvers in arrears
ore than one year, semi-weeklies
ore Chan nine mouths, I ri-?weeklies
liner than six months, and dailies
ngor I ban three monllis. Kor each

cent for each four ounces. Since
e average newspaper weighs foui*|
ices or less, oacli paper sen| to a i
b eriber i:i arrears for a longer |
1'iod than indicated will cost the
blishers I cent fine. This law
II not affect the big dailies very
ileriallv, but it will make a change
the management of weeklies and
mi-weeklies.
Mr. Varncr, who is proprietor of
ii Lexington Dispatch, says the
wspaper publishers do not object
the law, but simply wish more time
prepare themselves and their sub ibers
for its actual operation. He

,EV. JAMES H. THORNWELL.
In the death of lfev. James IT.
ornwell, D. 1)., not only his family
d the church and the secret orders
which he belonged and in which
did *o much good, have lost a
end and a good worker, but. the
ite of South Carolina has lost one
its noblest citizens and grandest
mi. lie was an eminent example of
c divine and t'ne human and this
inbiation made him not only a powin
his church and in his denomina>n
but his influence for good "was
arcely excelled by any citizen of
i> siate. In the community in
lieli he spent more than a quarter
a century of his \ igorous manhood
was honored and beloved by evy
one from tlve little child to tire
il gray-haired veteran and they all
It that in his death they had lost
friend. He was truly a noblc arted
gentleman.
GIVE US A REST.
Why not now let us have a respite
oin reforms, investigations, fads,
ills, and doclrinalisins. The coignv
is footsore and weary of having
* attention distracted perforce from
ie ordinary vocations of a Cliris in
life and of being required to
ve heed to and waste time arguing
ith short-haired women and longiired
men. The last, long period of
rosperity bred an unusual crop of
stless beings who preached the docinc
till a I everything that is is
] wrong. These have ever particular 1
v and vehemantly emphasized their
opinions that the men who provided
work for those who wanted to work
and have maintained the pay roll regularly
are enemies of manhood and
ought to he exterminated. Not one
of tho professional agitators has 'ov er
maintained a pay roll or earned ?
halt tire money tihey have received
when their nairwi have been on one. ^
Let us go back now to the good old 11
rule touching the "sweat of the
face" instead of Jiceding so mueh ?
the work of the jaw.?Greenville 11
News. "
tl
We wlonder if c^u,r cotemporary
has gfven any thought to what is to ?j
become of the jaw workers if we' ?
should go back to the good old days
of will tali it speaks. True it would be t)
an ideal situation if Ave could get t;
back to 1 he times when people mind- ^
od their own business and there were
not so many would be philanthropists
who wore ever ready to stand ispon- !>
sor and who were always trying to 81
create dissatisfaction.
I lie trouble is Micro are too many J'
people trying to avoid the good old !'
way of earning a living "in the
sweat of the face" and so long as
there are people who arc willing to "
be duped there are going to be those "
prepared io do Ihc job. 11

The "County Chairman." o
The ""County Chairman" will be ^
presented at the Newfberry opera t
iliouse on January 23. The following
in regard to to a recent presentation
of the play in Louisville is from the a
iLouisville Times:
When an attraction like George ?
lAde's "'County Chairman," well
vtaged and produced by a splendid ^
company, is seen at popular prices
iil deserves large patronage and it is a
safe to .say that the Masonic Theater
mill do big business this week. "The ||
County Chairman," which opened a
week's engagement there last even- ji
itig, is without a doubt one of the very
best bills ever seen in a popular r
price theater. Tt is the same play, !'
with many of the same cast, seen .
here and elsewhere nt the higher 1
|'priced houses. _
j' Tho story of "The County Chairman"
is an interesting exposition of ]
practical politics.
|t "The County Chairman" deals ^
with the bitter rivalry-of Jim Mack- ?
Ver, the County Chairman, n.id Elias
Itigby, bis old rival in love and policies.
I hi"1 scenes are laid in Indiana.
Rigby is the opposition candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney, and Mackler
enters his partner, Tiford Wheeler, s
against iiini. Wheeler is in love with (
Rigbv's daughter, and it is with dif- i;
Nficulty that TIackler persuades him 1
|'!o accept the nomination, which
[''iinve to him un ought, and make tho
'race. He finally accepts and Hack' er
manages iiis campaign success- .
fully. Wheeler wins not only the of<ic-.\
but the girl he loves.
