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.

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

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

iat Mr. Featheistone declared his
indidaey at the opening of this
ear's campaign, but withdrew be
auSe of the promised staiid of Gov
rnor Ansel on the liquor question;
lat is. the g-overnior's advocaey of a
latform th-at was a step toward
tate-wide -rohibition. Mr. 21sel

nd there were fliou-,ai-.s wlo dkem

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

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.
