E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New ^rry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, Oetober 19, 1909. The city books for the registration Cf voters in the special election for the issuing of bonds for the exten Kion of the sewerage are now open, but they will close on Thursday, 21. It is very important that these bonds be issued. Every voter should secure his registration ticket and should do it now. We are afraid that our people do not appreciate the im portance of this matter. If for any reason this election should go by de fault, and the bonds should not be voted, it means the shutting up of the entire sewerage system of the town and possibly damage suits against the town. l We do not understand how the people who live near the septic tank have been patient so long. In fact, the board of health should have con-I demned this tank long ago. It has been endured on the promise and ex pectation that the system would be extended, therefore, do not fail to register and to vote for the bonds. It would be a calamity to the city to refuse to do so. The proportion of dogs to sheep in this county should not be as it stands to-day. About four dogs to every sheep. And then there are as many dogs as there are cattle in the county. Our farmers need to give a little attention to sheep and cattle raising. As tax values increase .the tax levy goes on up. With an increase in the state of one hundred million in tax able values the tax levy is one mill higher. We believe if the taxable property was doubled that the legis lature would fimd a place to mak'e appropriations so that the levy would be more than doubled. The State newspaper has been im posed upon by the correspondent, who signs himself Dan Blease, and who writes from Newberry, S. C. There may be a Dan Blease some where but he 'does not hail from Newberry. T here is no one by that name, either white or colored, so far as w.e have been able to learn, who lives in Newberry. He writes of the Farnum verdiet, and the State prints his bad spelling and grammar as it was written. This Dan Blease must be one of the State's friends from some other county. When you go .to pay your tax this *faIl you will realize that what wo told you in the campaign of 1908 is true. When the .taxable property of this county was about five million dollars the tax levy was two and a half mills. This year the taxable - property is more -than seven millions and the tax levy for county purposes is five and a half mills, a little more than double. Of course you do not -object. to a little matter like that. It would be easy to show you that a little appropriation would be a very small matter to you but when you get a lot of those little matters to gether you realize at tax paying time what they amount to. Tihe county and state tax this year is thirteen and three quarter mills. -PERSONAL. Twenty-three years ago on the seventh of next March I became con nected with TCoe Herald and News as part owner, and assumed the position of editor of the paper. Mr. Wmn. P. Houseal was my partner. The paper was then printed once a week. It 'was an eight column four page pa per. The circulation was then about six hundred. Hart CGaldwell was the motive power for running the cy linder press. After some seven years I haught 'ut Mr. Ho~u5Qeal and1 then all that time I continued actively as *e editor of tbhe paper. The paper is now prioted twice a week and contains eight pages of six columns to the page. The price has remained the same, though the cost of white paper and of labor and of taxes and all other expenses have increased. For many years I held firiuly to the opinion that I could not run a paper on a cash ,basis. Cash in ad vance I mean. I had great confi dence in the honesty of my fellow men. I believed they would pay for the paper and I credited almost any body who wanted the paper sent. In the annual meetings of the Press As sociation when other publishers would talk of the advantages of the cash in advance system I still iheld to the opinion that it might do for some people but as for me I could not adopt any sueh system. I still was confiding and believed that some time those who had subscribed for the paper would pay. I am afraid my confidence was misplaced. When the government adopted the rule not to receive papers that were not paid for I found that to comply with the ruling I had to take about six hundred names from my mailing list. I offered these to wait for what they owed me if they would come along and get on the cash basis and they could pay the old score when it was convenient. I found after a few months that instead of doing that those who had been credited the longest not only did not pay what they owed but subscribed for another paper. I then decided that I would run the paper on the caah in advance system or I would let some one else have the job and as a result I found it necessary to tiake off about six hundred more. This was done within twelve months, We still have about fourteen hundred on the list and they are paying for the paper. The twelve hundred we took off within the year still owe us an average of about ten dollars each. You can make the calculation of the amount we have lost by the credit system. Those to whom we have been the kindest and most lenient as a rule are the ones that show' no sort of appreciation. We are not finding fault or grumbling but we are frank to admit that we have not that con fiding spirit which once possessed us. This notice is written in order to say that these old accounts are go ing to be locked up and I do not in tend to ask a man for one cent of what he honestly owes. I am send ing this copy of the paper to those who are due us so that they may see their old friend once more and be reminded of 'the kindly treatment which they have given it and to say that if any of them feel like paying an honest debt or any part of it they may do so, but if not I will never mention it to themi. Not that I do not need it, because I have worked hard for the best in terest of Newberry and her people and have given them the best years of -my life and if I had tihis money which I have earned I could pay ob igations which are pressing, but to go after these small amounts even if they were paid would cost all of it. I wish now I had burned these sub scription accounts when I went on a cash basis and then I would have had no reminder of them. But I still thought they would be paid at least in part. Now, my friend, if you read this and 1 hopec you will, you can feel that so far as I am concerned I have no accounlt against you. If you kno'w that you owe the paper anything and feel that it is right and honest tha1 you should pay it you may do so. Ij not you may let it alone. We will be glad to place your name on our lis1 aain but to do so the moeny m.uu vfuri hun 1red but no: withon ut t.h< Ii faclt remains if yo require; nor ayno what he honestl, (We, YoU he will :hink li-)re of Von than if yon let hin go without, pay ing his honest debt. Bat I have decided to wipe out these old subscription accounts and this is the last time I will ever men tion them to any of You. So you (%un come and see me and take a new start if you desire and I will try to be good to you and will treat you the same as if you never owed a cent on the paper. It is our purpose to make The Herald and News better than ever before and we expeet soon to have all of our old subscribers back on the list on the cash basis. They are coming every day and now is the time to stars. Money is plentiful and the price of the newspaper is the only really valuable thing that has not advanced in price. We shall continue not only to print a first class newspaper and make The Herald and News a better paper but we shall also continue to work for the best interests of the people of this county and advocate those things we believe to be right. We are printing to-day a twelve page paper and whenever it is nec essary we will do so rather than let the advertisements infringe upon the amount of live reading matter we wish to give to our subscribers. The cash in aJvanoe rule applies to every body and we will take off the man worth a hundred thousand just as quick as we will the man who has no property at all. When we credited we credited every body. Now that we are cash we credit no body. We hope no one will be of fended. We want the good will of all but we cannot pay printers and buy paper and live on hot air. If your name is not on our mail ing list hasten to get it there. We will give you a hearty welcome and furnish you a live and progressive paper at a very small cost. E. H. Aull. SALE OF VALUABLWILANDS.
