E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postofnice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, December 8, 1908. P CASH IN ADVANCE. C In 'MarIi. 18S7. T heeuc a part owner ol The 1erald and News andl have been connected with the papet -ontinuously since that time. I was b -with the paper a couple of years prior p to that time when under other own- n ership. I have, therefore, been the t editor for nearly twenty-five years. Daring that time my duties have al- s so been to keep the books and sub- 1 scription accounts. a I have always had great faith and in confidence in the honesty of the peo- V ple and their purpose to pay their % debts. For that reason I have never it believed I could conduct a strictly p eash in advance substription. For the past few months I have a been giving a closer study to the sit- e, nation than ever before. When the postoffice department is- p sued its order that a subscription to s a semi-weekly more than nine months in arrears could not' be accepted at t< the second-class rate we endeavored h to comply with the order ana had to p eutt off about 650 names. We first n sent each subscriber at least two let- a ters calling attention to the ruling be- p sides mention of it was made in the a paper. This faH we have sent an other letter to these persons but we r, have received no response. N These 650 owed- us over $5,000. a Many of them not only did not pay what they owel but weni directly and I subseribed f. o-r coLemporary and il paid for it. We have no objection to that but we mention it as a reason for the shaking of our faith in the honesty of the people. It certainly was a striking evidence of ingratitude. We still have a good many sub- e scribers who are in arrears. State- a ments have been sent or will be sent e in a few days to all of these. -During the 25 years of our connee- e tion with this newspaper we have lost in unpaid subscriptions at least e $20,000. We have no one to blame a but ourself and the people would t] 'have though~t more of us if we had tV made them pay it. We are not com- n plaining but we propose to stop this p leak or go out of the business. c After the first day of February The e Herald and News will be run strictly s on the cash in adv~ance plan. A post f .card will be mailed you giving you tl thirty days notice so that you may t - have time to send in your renewal n and to remind you if you should over- e look it. li There are doubtless some errors in the credits. If you will call our at- n tention to these we will gladly make t] the correction and in every case w.ill f: give the subscriber the benefit of the t< doubt. Ii: It takes too much of our time to p send statements and to pay postage. a We will keep no books except our t< receipt stubs and e eash book and the p mailing galleys. s< We shall hate to part with any sub-A scribers buit we cannot longer be an Letter from S To the little boys and girls of thi In reply to the many letter Herald and News, and also dir want to advise you that I will pa urday, December 12th, at four< Caldwell street beyond the knitti Mollohon Village.
