The inauguration of a new governor and -what he has to say is a matter of geat interest to all the people. #In ad dition to this, the new governor, Mr. Blease, is the first governor Newber ry has ever f-urnished. It was but natural that The Herald and News, the newspaper that gives the news while it is news, should issue an extra edlition only a. minute or two after the inauguration was concluded, giving a full account of the inaugura tion, and the full text of Mr. Dlease's inaugural. It was a newspaper feat, The Herald and News being the first paper in the State to print the story of tie inaug ural ceremonies. We are not praising ourselves, be cause we axe modest, but we are con gratulatimg our subscribers, to every one of whom the extra was sent. The Herald and News will continue to give the news while it is nerws. - EXAI E YOUR LABEL. For the past month The Herald and News has not marked off subscriptions promptly as they expired for the rea son that the young ladies in the con test were given an opportunity to se eure the renewals. We bave decided, however, not to continue this plan, and we take this method of giving notice that all subscriptions that have expir ed prior to the 1,th of January will af ter this be taken from our mailing list. we are glad to say that there are very renew promptly. Hereafter the mailing list will be gorie lover twice a montha as our cus tomn, and subscriptions will be prompt ly ta.ken off without notice except the * label that is on your palper. We hope thiat our subscribers wiill netnew so as not .to miss any issue, 'bu in the coni duet of our subscr'iption list now, we do 'not know anybody, and when the subscription tepires and the subscrib er fails to renew, he will fail to get the paper. We give a few days grace to all subsceribers, but we desire it to be urndeLrstJOod that the eixpiration of your sutbscription, the date of which 1s on your l'abel, which s'hows the time to which you have paid, and we can niot se'nd notices. We have all sub scriptions to expire either on the 1st or the 15th of the mronth and if sub scriptions are not renewed within the 'week of expiration, the namae will be taken from our mailing list regardless of who the' person is. ' LIN FIN E SPIRIT. The Columbia Daily Record opposed Governor Blease in his cam7paiga-op poseld him vigorously but fairly. In fine spirit is this clean-cut editorial from the Record on the afternoon of Govennor Blease's inauguration. INSERT "The Record Says',: "A change in admi'ntstration is al ways en occasion, and properly so, for comment and conjecture. The coming of new men to new responsilbilities means the inauguration, ordinarily, of new policies and new methods, and a readjustment of governmental affairs. "The inauguration of Governor Blease is no exception to this rule. While the new governor has for a score, of years been active in South Carolina polities, he represents, it may be said, a different school of political thought from that which has been rep resented for the last eight, even the last 12, years in the governor's office. He has attained his high ambrition by consistent devotion to lines of political procedure that have been all his own. This is equivalent to stating that the new governor is possessed of original ity. He is also not lacking in the strength of persona-lity, a quality so essential to success in the leadership of men-and politics is merely the leadership of men. "Governor Blease, then, is equipped for the position. He has the ability. the personality, the experience, and now he has the opportunity. It is a great opportunity. "South Carolina was never more prosperous. Her people were never more united on essentials, more ready to follow wise counsel and to accept constructive measures for the ad ~+ r~f th~ comm~nw~vt1th and the uplifting o, its citizenship. There has never been a time when leader ship could count for more th,an now, just as there has never been a time when division among the people and bitterness could -be more untimely or harmful. The chance that lies before the young man who today becomes governor is sufficient to inspire the very highest ideals of public service and patriotism. "Governor Blease enters upon his administration in the knowledge, shar ed by all of us, that in his campaigni for governor he overcome the opposi tion of an element not only colisider able as to numbers, but important by reason of its intelligence and influ ence. Putting asid-as the governor can well afford to do-the opposition which was based upon personal pre judice. the governor may prcperly de sire to disprove by his administration of the office the arguments that were advanced, publicly and privately, against is election. "On the other hand, tha-. element which opposed the election of Mr. Blease, principally on account of fea tures of his past political career which they could not approve, should in all fairness-and we trust they will-! judge his administration not by that they may dislike or condemn in his previous record, but solely by the rec ord which he begins today to make. "The slate is wiped cl-ean, Governor Blease. Your friends-and you have many friends, which is greatly to your credit-and your former enemies are from the hour when you took the oath of office as governor of South Carolina no more your friends and your ene mies, but South Carolinians, and may you be the go-Vernor of them all, and of the State all of us love." Treatment of Telephone GirL New York Sun. Two tickets to an evening musicale were sealed in an enyelope addressed to "the day telephone operator who attends to Riverside 659-XY." "I dont know her name," said the woman who was sending the invita tiomis, "for the telephone company works on a system of anonymity, but she will get the tickets just th'e same. They are a reward for patience. I used the telephone for half an hour yesterday issuing invitations for this affair. I told h-er in the beginning what I was about to do and she was courtesy itself in helping me to se cure numbers. I find it always pays to take central into your confidence before bombarding her with a direc tory full of calls. Explain what you wish to do and she will be attentive. I issue invitations- to many aln affair1 over the telephone and always, if it is something that central can possi bly at-tend, send her tickets as a mark of appreciation." __ Be No New Paper. Augusta Chronicle'. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 11.-It is hard ly probable that the new morning paper will come out. In regard to reports in circulation in Columbia that it is indeffnite as to when the first issue of the Morning News, the proposed new daily, would appear, Mr. George R. Keoster, one of the promoters of said paper, stated Wednesday: "As some of those whose support is necessary to establish the new paper objected to working with mie for poli tical -reasons, which I do not care to discuss at present, I have agreed to withdraw from any cornwiction with1 any effort to estaiblish a new morning paper in Columbia and I understand that this has caused deferring thte movement until new plans can be made." Radium Comes Cheaper. Sir William R.amsay in a recent London lecture stated that radium now costs $2,100,000 an ounce, the drop in price from $3,000,000 being due to the work in the pitchblende mines of Cornwall, which is showing such sat isfactory results that a continuous supply of radium is absolutely assur In reference to the work at the mines Sir William announces that up to the preserL time 550 milligrams of pure radium have been produced at the Trenwith rmine's, near St. Ives. The process of the extraction of ra dium from the pitchblende employed by Sir William is so rapid that the amount o+ rs dium secured by this method in two months would take a year by ti' latest method used on the continent. A year ago there was about a quar ter of a pound of radium in the world. A radium bank has exis-ted ror some time in Pais. Recently one was es tablhed in London, and similar in situtions are being fomnded in other great cities. These banks lend the nrecious substance to scientists and physicians. The cost is enormous. As much as $200 has been charged for the use of 100 milligrams for a single Now is the time to subscribe to The T~pv~1d and Wews. le Ought to Have. "I want to ask you for a bit of ad vice." said the insinuating man. "What is it?" "I want you to put yoi rself in my place and me in yours, and tell me how you would go about it if you wanted to borrcw $10 from me." Washington Star. Asking Too Much.
