E. H. AULL, EDITOR. L Entered at the Postoffice at New -rry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. 0 Friday, December 4, 2908. t TWELVE PAGES. We are forced today to print a s twelve page paper in order to give the I usual amount of reading matter and b at the same time accommodate our advertisers. It costs us more to do it, a but we are determined to print a pa- a per with the news and when adver, e tisements go beyond the normal we v increase the size of the paper. Next Friday we will print our regu- a lar Christmas edition and those who p desire space in it should get their copy I in as early as possible. - h WE NEED MONEY. t] You may not believe it, but it is a A fact,'The Herald and News needs the -ioney that it has earned and is hon- r estly and justly due. Our creditors I need'it as bad as we do. We want to p give it to them. The amounts due us b are small but many sman sums added a together will make a big sum. u We appreciate our subscribers and o: spare no labor or time to give them a g good paper and we have not adopted ei the strictly cash in advance system t] though we have tried to comply with i the ruling of the pozt office depart- 1W ment. As a result, however, we iz have a good deal owing to us and we p urge those who have not paid to do so at once. The 600 we had to part with in April have paid no heed to ei our appeals and we suppose many of a them to show their appreciation of s our indulgence have not only not paid nf us what they owed but have gone, n elsewhere and subscribed for a paper p and paid for it. That seems to be the t( rule, unfortunately, of those who have o: received favors from you. We still b have nearly 2000 left but unless many a of these come forward before the end t of the year we will be forced to part v with some of them. It is a very small d matter. Why not attend to it at once. We need the money. The New Orleans Times Democrat 10 in its edition of recen-t date giving an jV estimate of the cotton crop from its 10 correspondents throughout the cottonj o belt places the total crop for 1908 at fsi 12,800,000 bales. The crop in Texas d is estimated at over 3,000,00. The es- c e timate for South Carolina is 1,100,000 f< bales. Indications all seem to point A to a crop of something over 12,000, 000 bales. The prospects do not seem to warrant the hope that the price b< will go much above nine cents for c<< sometime to come. For the last few~ l days the market has been weak and n< the price on the local market a little S below nine cents. t Mr. J. A. Mimnaughi, the big dry |h< goods merchant, uses this week in tr The Herald and News 456 inches of Si advertising space-4 pages. He .rea lizes the value of The Herald and |ai News as an advertising medium. We lw have been in the newspaper business lec in Newberry for more than 20 years and never before during that time has one merchant bouglit as much In< space in one week in any newspaper g< published here during that time. And pl there is no cut rate on it. We have ai one price to all advertisers. If they al want space in The Herald and News they pay that price or they don't get re the space. b The price is too low and should be raised. And we have not solicited ad- ini vertising except for special issues in n< a long time. The merchants know the er valu'e of space in The Herald and es News and come and get it. THE OLDE1ST AND THE BEAV- o1 EST EDITOR. W Hon. Thomas B. Crews who was so . 'well known to Abbeville people fifty 15 years ago, and who was one of us un til forty years.ago, stopped over in Ab- r' beville a few hours one day last week. 0 During his short stay he met a few of 1 the friends of former days. Among d the number were Messrs. H. T. Tus- it ten. R. E. Hill, and G. N. Nickles. He came on the Seaboard train to meet a E niece who was coming from Atlanta. He expected to meet her at Calhoun a Falls, but the vestibule does not step C at that place, and so he had to stop 7 with us for a little while. Mr. Crews was a good soldier in the war, and since the war he has fought a valiant fight. "Peace hath her vic 'tories no less renowned than war." -Mr. C'rews was with us in Abbeville I from 1854 aintil 1867. when he sold the Abbeville Banner and went to the I La:ure?1ymfe HIerfld. whiere he has re mnained ever since. He is the oldest editor in the State, but in physical preservation he is about as young to day as the youngest of the brethren. 4 me. tn .us no older than 'he ap l5. iTere er ver v mvirt i F those days. Mr. Crews is now 76. p aurens county has not only prosper- t I him in business, but a few years c, go the good old county of Henry y aurens conferred political honors up- e n him. He was elected State senator. e ,ater the State convention elected It im delegate to Denver. and he is, p erefore, in part responsible for the omination of William Billy, who has b o often and so ably led us to defeat. a ut if Mr. Crews does aot nominate e im again, all will be forgiven. c While in Abbeville Mr. Crews took 't hurried glanee at our court house 1, nd city hall. He didn't see much of ' i.ther, but he pronounced both to be t ery good. t A corner room in the Eureka 6 waits his return, which he is ex- a ected to occupy for a month. Mr. f 'usten, asked him to coge t9 his.hous.e... a buggy and to drive the p.orest ' orsertihat he had. He would fatten f ie animal for him while he waited.- t .bbeville Press and Banner. h We desire to endorse the pleasant h iferences to our friend, Col. Crews. 8 [e is not only a veteran in the news- F aper field, in politics, and in war, U at he is also a veteran in the press ;sociation, and it has been our pleas re frequently to refer to him as one si r the youngest members of that or mnization. In fact without his pres- h ice we ever felt that there was sorae- i iing lacking at these annual gather-iu gs. He is a true friend always ana e hope that he may live many year.s p the enjoyment of health and pros Mrity. tl The Orangeburg Times and Demo- p -at is going to be issued three times i week and the price remains the ime. $1.50 a year. Brother Sims has Lade a success of the printing busi- G ess and knows wbat he is doing. He rints a good paper, too. If he would 41 his brethren how to make money i a once a week and twice a week we s lieve they would be willing to guar- p atee him a good salary for a year or a: o at least for the formula. We c ish him success. Why not makc it sily? a T The Herald and News decided some h ears ago to print no advertisements e any character on the first page. e Te will not sell space there to any lh e at any price. It is a rule of the a liee that will not under any circum- w ances be violated. Sometimes in or- a: er to avoid it we are forced to in- p ease the size of the paper. It is best q r the paper and for the advertiser, a least that is our opinion. Hon. W. J. Montgomery who has een elected senator from Marion unty and who has been a member P the State board of education an unces that he will resign from the rate board inasmuch as the State nstitution does not permit a mem r of the general assembly legally to dd any other position of profit.or ust under this State or the United ;ates. Mr. Montgomery is right but there e numbers of the general assembly 1 do not obey the inhibition. of the nstitution in this matter. Mr. C. C. Featherston again an unees that he is a candidate for ivernor on a State-wide prohibition atform. Mr. Featherstone made an mouncement something like that out a year or more ago. We believe if Mr. Featherstone had mained in the race he would liave en elected this year. A State-wide prohibitiori law will, *A1 probability be* passed by the ;t legislature and before Mr. Feath stone has opportunity to make hisI .mpaign. The insurance company which was ganized in Columbia on Tuesday ith a capital stock of $100,00 should > a good business. The directorate compced of good,. substantial and mservative businiess men. It should 'ceive the support and the business the people of the State. The pay ent of insurance premiums is a big rain on the people of the State and all goes beyond our borders and on -a small portion of it, comparatively eaking, ever comes back to us. There is no reason why an insur ne company home controlled and onservatively managed should niot aeeeed and be safe to those desiring isurance. This one we believe will be and we ope will receive the endorsment of ur people. EATHERSTONE FOR GOVERNOR aurens Man Announces that He will be Candidate in 1910 on State Wide Prohibition Platform.

Mr. 21sel ad been governor for only one term, nd there were fliou-,ai-.s wlo dkem d him worthy of a recond term be uase of his successfal fight against ie old State dispens. i- Con e.-u ; Mr. Feather.ton deemed it inad izab'e to -.- :e Mr. An4 :l! that me and withdrew from the race, at Le same time announcing his continu a advocacy of State-wide prohibition nd his willingness to keep up the ight. In view::f tha...growing sentiment: Dr Stbte-wide .prohibition and the act that one-half of the counties in ie' State have already voted for pro ibition, and believing that the time as come in the political life of the tate for such a campaign, Mr. 'eatherstone announces that he will take the race on a platform for State 'ide prohibition. The announcement of Mr. Feather ;one 's candidacy - so early is in re onse to numberless inquiries as to. is intentions. He has received many Lquiries and has been persistentlY red to make the race. While his ithdrawal statement in July was cactically an announcement that he ould make the race two years hence, ie statements this morning were .ade to apprise the many friends of rohibition as to Mr. Featherstone's tentions. ood Advice From the Yorkville En quirer. .. . ''Why don't the Southern people ave sense enough to iecognize cotton ed oil as the principai basis of raetically all the so-called lard they ce now using and go in directly for )tton seed oil rather than lard? "We confess our inability to give satisfactory answer to this question. he chemist tells us that there is no arm in cottton seed oil, and practi Il experience not only tells us that it easures up to every requirement of xd, but that it is just as wholesome ad ever so much cleaner. But still e have a prejudice against the oi-l rad won't use .it until the Northern acker has mixed it with more or less estionaible hog fat, labeled it under different name and sold it back to The Mo IS STILL ( Splen Fine I T VERY I $12.00 to $IE duced to $10. $10.00 Coat $7.50.:: $9.00 Coats $6.75. .:: C.&ILS8 I I I I! t*~ ').JALit III to0 cotton seed oil in food is really a mat er of Yankee suggestion? If there were any way to trace the matter to the bottom this is about what we would fiid. And yet, it is as plain as the noe on Wne's f:a-e that if the Southeiii eople would assume a frank. open attitude toward the sub ject, determine on the use of cotton seed oil themselves, brag on it and do all in their power to remove the pre judices of others, the result would be a still more wholesome product than we are now getting at mueh less cost. "We are allowing ourselves to be duped in this matter, and we are pay ing tribute on a commodity that is ab solutely our own.''-Yorkville En quirer. The Other Reason. A teanster.:retires::-at- tbe-.ge ..9f nihety witli,an acu.ulatnon of .60,00. He says he wants and is-entitled to a rest. Some inquirers want to' know how he could have saved so much on $12 a week, the highest wages he ever received. The answr is asy. He got $2 a day. He lived on 22 cents a day. He saved the difference. I lived in New- York on 5 cents a day for nearly six months and was in magnifi cent health. Some people eat to live; others live to eat.. As the old chap on the ferryboat said to the small boy: "Sonny, why does a pig eat?" "Cause he's hungry." "No. There's another reason." "Whut's dat?" "He wants to make a hog of him self."-New York Press. NEWBERRY UNION STATION. Arrival and Departure of Passenger Trains-Effective 12.01 A. M. Sunday, June 7th, 1908.
