This is the last issue of The Herald and News for the year 1913. We hope it has been a happy and pros? perous year for all of our readers. And that the year 1914 may bring all of them that happiness and prosperity wlhich is lasting. Let every one learn to play the glad game and if some one should send va" * "sir of rmtches be glad all the J VU * - - ^v. > game because you do not have to use them. There are many things that could and should be done for the betterment p.nd the uplift and advancement of this community. Foremost among them all is that every one should have a good word for his town and his neighbor, and his neighbor should include every citizen of the town. It won. cost a cent to speak a good word and some one has said that it is worth a million dollars. Suppose you try it. a OU Will ieei ueiter, Cina iuaL io worth a whole lot. Now is a good time to form that stick-together club. Stick together for the town in wthich you live and , out of which you make your living.] Let some live citizen start the move- j ment but limit the number in the club. j AVe publish an article in another column from Mr. W. B. West which it seems to us is worth the attention j of our farmers. It is on the delint-1 ing of cotton seed. If liis facts are j correct it seems to us they are worth the attention of farmers and cot:on seed oil men as well. The question of saving the farmer a million and a quarter dollars a year in the matter ^ ^ ^/?AnOir1 \JL VJULtUll OCCU JIUVUiU i-LCA ? ^ uiv | eration of the growers of cotton. We notice that a township in York -county wants the part of the cost of maintaining the chain gang given to ' that township and then let the gang work elsewhere. That means, in the opinion of these good people, that the cfoain gang is an expensive luxury. In many cases this is true. It all de pends upon the way the chain gang is worked. To run the gang all over the county very little good is accomplished. J. M. Philips, of Seneca, was last night tendered the hospitality of the city jail, by the local police. The officers arrested Phillips v on the . charge of being drunk. He gave bond of $? for his appearance in court, and forfeited this amount by not appearing for trial tolay. Phillips told the police he was the publisher of. five newspapers.?-Greenville Piedmont. It is enough to run a man to the "bug house" to print one newspaper. When a man undertakes six it must be awful. He was fortunate to have \ the price of the bond. Really though there must be very hard hearted policemen in the city of Senaca to tender the cold hospitality . of tlhe city jail to a country editor or i i.1 .n i r- _ t _ I uxe auernauve 01 parang wun six real good dollars. It was altogether a very cruel performance. The government is now running a weekly newspaper, issued by the department of agriculture. It is paying a great army of experts to write the papers now in- existence and trying to run along, but some of the country editors can't possibly handle all the matter these experts send out. j We receive from two to tlhree and four letters a day. If there were some way by which the government would pay the editor a little something to distribute this knowledge which these experts are paid Dig salaries 10 get up and the railroads are paid to haul, then it would be put in the hands of toe people and might accomplish some good. That would be cooperation. Everybody is paid to help educate the masses but the newspaper, and it is expected to disseminate the information for nothing. The government will soon be running its own newspaper and then it can reach the people. SILVER WEDDING. The Rev. J. A. Sligh will, on Thurs| day, January 1, 1914, with his wife, i celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary 1 of his marriage, at his home in the | I Icily of Columbia. For nearly a half j ? ? - . % -i j century .Mr. Sligh served as pasior or j ;a number of Lutheran churches in the I i i county of Newberry, and was, during ; all the time, the active and beloved pastor of old St. Pauls. He married, baptized, confirmed and buried hun| dreds of thp people of this community. j It is not given to many men to serve one congregation as long as Mr. Sligh j served the people o^ St. Pauls. He is now retired from the active work of the ministry on account of advanc ed years and is living a quiet and retired life in the city of Columbia. He is inviting all his friends to meet j with him on this anniversary occas! ion and those who cannot come he \ would be pleased to have them write i him a note so that it may be kept as i a souvenir. It would be a fitting tribute, if all his former parishioners, at least, would remember the occasion with a silver j offering, and that offering in the s'.^ape j oi a silver doilar would be more-appropriate to Dr. Sligh at his time of life than a fine piece of silverware. We take the privilege of making this suggestion for we know sometimes it is difficult to decide what to get on occasion^ like this when we desire to show' our appreciation in some 1 J j token of remembrance. Dr. Sligh was the first school teach- j er of the editor of The Herald and . News a good many years ago, and we ! have known him intimately and pleas- ! ' I antly all the years since, and we are | glad that he is able to celebrate his sil_ j ver wedding at this time, and hope he may have many more happy anniverI saries. Away back yonder when he was a young man and we were a tot of a boy he lived at our father's home , and taught the school at St. Pauls and we walked two miles with him every morning to school.

This school .'has complied with the J law in every respect. Friends of.B school gave two acres of land for I building and play grounds. .
