A GOLDEN HERO. 1 Our readers are already familiar ith the tragic details of the death of1 dward W. Carmack, of Tennessee, han which no greater tragedy has ver befallen our Southland. His it eath is not only a loss to his native tate, but to the South and' to the Na on. We especially deplore his loss t om otr ranks as a leader in temper ice reform. May God in His infin- 1 e wisdom raise up another man wit.h c e power, the intellect and the cour Ve 4f Senator Carmack to lead our C ras against wrong! We print, be- t w an extract from the Memorial ad by Dr. Webb, also an editorial om the Nashville Advocate: i "I have heard great orators. I It ard Edward Everett in his greatest I ort. His subject was 'George j ashington.' I have heard Phillips t rooks in Trinity; I have heard enry Ward Beecher in Plymouth i hureh; I have heard Spurgeon in hisi adce; I have heard Canon Far- 11 *r in St. Margaret 's~; I have heard 3 rehdeacon St. Clair in St. PauPs onja le Star in the East;' I have heard r. Palmer; I .have heard Bishop At-I s, of North Carolina; I have heard11 ishop Marvin;:I have heard Bishop alloway on. 'The Church the Bride Christ.' The oration of Senator S rmack on 'Character' was the great-. o ration I ever heard. It will rank side the best great masterpieces of the ageis. "Senator Carmack was a great . A man is the biggest thing that d has created. He is of greater ue than gold or anything whose ue can be measured in gold. Ed- P dWard: Carmack was the largest c set Tennessee had. His blood was F oprecious to be wasted on the cob- 1 tones of Nashville, to be trodden der foot of men. I believe that that d will be the seed from which usands of Carmacks will arise and tch the flag of Democracy from beer keg and bear it in triumph our capitol festooned in the white on of their mothers. Some of us. er the leadership of the great and S le Carmack, with the dust and dirt. tl d grime and scars of many a hard tie, with .many a bitter Appomat- p our hero fallen in theg~onfliet, are 'x wing old.

The following eloquent word from in editorial in,' The Christian Advo ,ate." Utublished at Nashviie, is vorthy of car&ful reading- and pie,er "senator Carmack has died the leath of a martyr to the cause of civ c righteousness and public sobriety, )ut his cause is not dead.

In March, 1887, I became a part wner of The Herald and News and ave been connected with the paper tinuously since that time. I was ith the paper a couple of years prior >that time when under other own ship. I have, therefore, been the itor for nearly twenty-five years. uring that time my duties have al >been to keep the books and sub ription accounts. I have always had great faith and ple and their purpoSe to pay their debts. For that reason I have never believed I could conduct a strictly cash in advance subscription. For the past few months I have been giving a closer study to the sit nation than ever before. When the postoffice department is ued its order that a subscription to a semi-weekly more than nine months in arrears could not be accepted at the second-class rate we endeavored to comply with the order and had to cutt off about 650 names. We first sent each subscriber at least two let ters calling attention to the enine be sides mention of it was made in the paper. This fall we have sent an other letter ~to these persons but we have received no response. These 650 owed us over .$5,000. Mlany of them not only did not pay AV!!at they owed but went directly and subscribed f) o--r cLemporary and 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 scribers who are in arrears. State ments have been sent or will be sent in a few days to all of these. During the 25 years of our connec tion with this newspaper we have lost in unpaid subscriptions at least $20,000. We have no one to blame but ourself and the people would have thought more of us if we had, made them pay it. We are not com plaining but we propose to stop this leak or go out of the business. After the first day of February The fferald and News will be run strictly on the cash in advance plan. A post card will be mailed you giving you thirty days; notice so that you may have time to send in your renewal and to remind you if you should over look it. There are doubtless some errors in the credits. If you will call our at tention to these we will gladly make the 'correction and in every case will give the subscriber the benefit of the doubt. It takes too much of our time to send statements and to pay postage. We will keep no books except our receipt stubs'and a cash book and the mailing galleys. We shall haite to part with any sub scribers hbut we cannot longer be an noyed with trying to collect these lit tle amounts and then not get them. The post office rule does not permit us to carry a delinquent longer than nine months and we had just as well put it on the cash basis. We find that for a eleven months of this year only about 1000 have paid anything at all. Just about one half of the present list. We can not pay our debts and keep up this rate of collection of what is due us. And we do not want to offer compromise if we can help it. Remember you have two months to put yourself financial. If you can't pay all of your back dues give us your note and pay the advane subscrip tion. The rule we adopt will be followed strictly. No doubt some of those who have .been indulged will show their appreciation by getting mad and tak ing the other paper as some have done. We will not raise any objection for we will have the satisfaction of know ing that you will no longer get a pa per without paying for it. Those who pay no heed to what they owe us will have their accounts turn ed over to a collection agency. 0 We have worked hard to serve the a people of this community and we de- ~ serve what we have earned. 0 t The Herald and News will continue to be an up-to-date paper and we hope all of our subscribers will ap preeiate the situation that it costs money to buy paper and pay printers and it is much easier for each one to pay us than it is for us to be continm illy hunting up these little amounts. If any man's subscription is in ar- I rears and he has a claim against us we will thank him to present his claim and if we owe it we will try to pay it.
