It would have j cost so little and would have been | I worth so much that we wonder more j .split log drags were not on the roads, lust a little spent on the use of old Atfr T. Firo <r nn tho t-/mj rl hotu'oen Newberry and Prosperity would have j put that road in fine condition. And 1 yet we would not. It is a pity it is true, and yet no one was done any- j :hing at all on tfcis road. When will i we realize ^hat we could do and how j little it would cost if we would only cooperate and have a little public spirit. If Dolpa Jones issues the warrant and says it is a just claim the chances are that it is. Sam Carter may be < right in refusing to pay the warrant j for the expenses of tfhe warehouse commissioner but we would bet on Dolph Jones being right. He ifcas been there a long time and the chances are a hundred to one that any claim for which fee issues a warrant is jus( i.! a t At i * x * uea oy me ia^v. 11 would nave Deen better for the extraordinary session to have provided in its apropriation ball for the expenditure of the $15,000 ! which is carried in the- warehouse bill, but when Dolph Jnoes and the attorney general say the warrant is properly drawn we think Sam Carter i ' would be justified m paying it. We I believe this warehouse bill will be a i help to the farmer and we regret to see it obstructed i:a its incipiency. A FIXE MEETING. mu ? ? ? ? -i -r- J- ! J. lie UlCii iUU C11UHJU 5JI1UUS 1 and associations could learn some i very valauble lessons by attending the ! sessions o;" the woman's convention i meeting in our city at this time. We : were permitted to sit in the business session for a little while one day. That is, we went in and they didn't! put us out. For a body as large as j it is it was the most orderly meeting i we ever saw. The presiding officer | is a gem as a presiding officer. Everything moves like clock work and there is perfect order. I!f you whisper to j your neighbor you are reminded quiet- ! ly that it must stop. Just how she manages it is a mystery, but s&'e does. And she presides without giving the impression that she is in authority. If she could control the members of the legislature like she controls these women she would make ! an ideal speaker of the house. And ' you must remember that tue court ' house was filled to its capacity dur- I ing all the sessions. The papers read and t':e talks made j at the evening sessions were far j above ordinary. We are glad the convention came ; here and that these good women have j sojourned with us for a few days. It j will do the town good. It has given | the men and the women of the com- j munity something else than toe low price of' cotton and the war and t?%.e j hard times to talk about and to t'iiink about. Their presence and their meetings will naive a good influence upon the entire town and will linger long with many of our people after these . good women are gone. Besides they ; are doing a good and a great work for tee people of their State. We r\n A r? AAmm /v m At* a r% 1% /\1 1 Liitii s~\jlinn^ iiiajr uc cio iici^iui to t'Lem as it has been to us. It has been a real pleasure to ;ave them with us. It is a ine meeting. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION We regret that some very ugly errors have crept into the paper recently, but they have been unavoidable. We hope to get on the job again in good si:ape very soon. The editor ?-> o rl f'oof m r\ xt* nn 1 /-3 Vv r\ oKl a ^ a ex.u inai, xit. >> uuiu uc auic LLr be relief.ed of the details of the office, but since the war and the low price of cotton he ?as to get back on the! I job and will have everything in good running order very scon. Of the fam- i ily staff there are only two of us left? i the old man and the kid, and we arc getting t?i?ss in fairly good shape, and we have determined to give tfr.e n people of Newberry the very best paper they bave ever had, and we will ft do so. In fact, we are doing so now ^ without any idea of attempting to make comparisons or disparage any | efforts that may nave been put forth' i | in the past. Ii: your subscription is expiring, renew and keep up with the local happenings. It has always been ? our idea that a local county paper should first be a local paper and give the happenings of the town and countv and what general news it could I print. We have been here a long time and ne<'. er felt more like hard work and tnp oanacitv to nerform it than I w , * | ? we do now. We know that we ':ave I been abused and misrepresented and } a many times by people for whom we ^ have done the most, but that does not molest us in the least. We feel that we have done what we could for the advancement of the community and will continue to do so to the end. No ' N doubt we have been dealt with more ??? kindly than we deserve, and in many I resDGcts tnp neoole of the community !I have been good to us, all of wfoicia we appreciate. The Herald and News has been here a long time?much longer than the present editor, and will be here when he has gone to his reward, j vve nave tne nies 01 tne paper oouna back among the fifties. iXow what we want to say is ti>.at t:is is a time when you should keep up your subscription. The price is the same while everything else has increased. We charge the same as when the paper was only published once a week and when labor was fifty per cent less Chan it is today. If your time has expired renew. The circulation man does not know any i i one. When your time is out your | . name goes off, it makes no difference who you are, unless you ask us to; continue '."or a brief period whicfa we ! will gladly do provided ti':at brief ! period is really brief. When we ran a credit system we ran a credit system. Now we are running a c.ash svs- i tem and it is cash to every one alike, j We have on our books some ten to ! 15 thousand dollars 'for subscriptions j alone, due by people who live or have j lived in Newberry and from whom we ; do not hope to realize a cent. If we j had that it would put us on easy j street, but we are not complaining j about it. It was our fault, and we j heard a speaker say once that the j hardest fall he ever received was j when ke looked back at the rock over j wiich he had just stumbled?he-'fell I ! over a bigger one in front he didn't i see because he was looking back. We ; try to keep our eyes to the front and to have faith in our fellowman, i but when it comes to subscription to the paper that faith is based on the cash in advarfce. We have said a great ucai 1x1 ui v cm an v? in lciiucu. iccli C >? your subscription promptly and keep up with the procession. Amen! ' SOT POPULAR BCT TRIE. I It may not be the popular thing to say, but we believe it so strong that we cannot refrain from saying, that we believe that the best thing for the farmer and for the merchant and for the banker is for the farmer, if rne owes any money, to sell some cotton at seven and a quarter cents and pay something on his debts and t'iius put the merchant and the banker in ._i I ' a position help the farmer another ]Uim year. ; anyth Besides, if cotton should go to nine done or ten cents within 12 months it will 'can tl not pay the man "who owns it and it by owes money to hold it even if he can basis, store it in a warehouse and borrow them on it. Until he pays -tis interest and come ins insurance ana warenouse cnarges stroni seven and a quarter cents now will\ve fc be more than nine or ten cents 12 I ex.pec j months from now. And besides, and . :he pi further than that and greatest of all, seven the warmer will not be worried about! made that little debt that <he owes to get'and e i rid of which will be worth more to 1 cottoi l him tcan an increase in price oi from say, 4 I one to two cents the pound. Pay all pounc you can and then go to work another pounc year to make something to eat and to se you will not owe the merchant for the chant i rations that you ate to make the crop, and t That is t:.e way it occurs to us, and ( rigut we are practicing as far as we are , right able, what we are preaching.
