All times are good .or i:e use of
the split log drag. Don't forget to
ase it whenever the season is right.
This is t-e besr unie tnat we know
'or every one to learn to play the glad
.^ame. It is a good time :or Mr. John
'vinard to renew his circulating library
of Polly Anna. How about it,
Mr. Kinard? Don't you t'.:ink the time
to learn the lesson taught by Polly
Anna is now, above all other times?
We do cot know anything about the
merits of the controversy over t-e Till
man. children but we do know enough
.i*bout human nature to believe that
ihe best friend the little girls Ciave is
iheir mother. And when the supreme
iiourt or any other earthly court undertakes
to say what is best for these
children and w:at they shall do it has
a. big job on its hands' The motwer
iove is the greatest love known in this
*orld.
We hope every one will enjoy h?s or
l?er Thanksgiving turkey and will ^e
truly and sincerely thankful that his
V?fc ic O-Ast in sr? rvlAasnnt n lanrl [f
the editor just had a iiorae he would
be happy with fat backs and corn
bread. You who have your home circle
unbroken have many things for
which to be thankful, pnd you should
stop whining and complaining. Think
of the manv broken fire circles in this
country and of the poor soldiers in t^e
trenches being shot to death in that
cruel war on t'ae other side ocf the
ocean and how much better off you
are wit'3- a good fire and all the comiorts
of life and plenty to eat and at
peace with all the world and be glad
that your lot is cast in so pleasant a
country.

nt,iir .i.iuxntn,
We have thougnt ail along that
i
there are too many people who are
"talking about _ard times and are saying
that toe worst has not yet come.
It is true that conditions are quite
"different from what t_ey were a year
ago in Newberry. At this time last
year we had sold in this market about
13.000 'bales of cotton aeainst about
6,000 at this time this year. The
difference in the amount of money put
in circulation is aJbout three times
the number of bales. Or in dollars
about $750,000 against $200,000. That
of course will make a difference in the
amount of merchandise sold and debts
paid. But there is no use to whine.
T^Vl A />n /N V? ^ /iA f/?V\ f ^ 'Vv^
Aiic uiic n xiu taaucs it me iiuiucdi
is the merchant, especially the merchant
who has sold 'his goods on a
credit. For that reason we have been
of the opinion t'bat the farmer should
sell ai least a part of his cottc . and
pay the merchant as far as he can,
i>ecause it was the merchant that let
him have the supplies with waitfa to
make the cotton.- But the talk and
the shutting dawn an all loans by the
banks has made the farmer afraid that
if he sells his cotton and pays as far
as he can that 'he will caen have nothing
at all on which to make another
crop, and he is holding on to what lit
tie cotton he has to help him through
another year. The trouble seems to
"be a lack of confidence and the talk
has had a good deal to do with it.
What we l^eed is for every one to'be
glad that it is no worse than it is, and
:'cr every one to do what he can to
help every one else, and it will all
come out 1'or the benefit of ail concerned.
'We must bear and forbear.
This country is too big and too great
for any one to suffer. Let the farmer
and the merchant and the banker all
work toget-er and trust one another
and help one another and no one use
ihe power which he may "have temporarily
to oppress any one. Let us endeavor
to restore e.onfirienee Ar>ri av
ery one pocket his share of the loss
with a good grace and a pleasant
smile. That's the point.
WHICH WILL THEY DO J
We heard a banker in another town
remark the other day that^ if
is _ i <* <* - f " - 1
-was in the condition of at least
one of the banks in the town
j of 'Newberry that he would
be a great help to the people of his
communiiv and he would at the same
! time make a pile of money for his
bank. He said he 'had just seen a
| statement of this bank. "It showed,"
he said, "'that the bank had some $S0,000
in cash in its vaults and that it
did not owe a dollar." Further, this
1
; banker said: "If I had that condition
in my bank 1 would and could lend
I
it rvn t Vi ci vorv hoct a *" c^r?nritv 3 rt rl I
i is vu in v f Vi; uvut \/? o vvu* | *
j would not only lend what I had but
. 1 would go to New York and borrow
a hundred thousand more, and lend
it. because I could get ttee very best
of collateral and I would be a benefactor
to my community and at the
! same time make good money for my
I bank."
Ypt this ssmp hank in Xftwberrv.
South Cc.rolina, is trying to make evi
ery one pay up, nolens volens, regardj
less of the value of the security and
j will scarcely lend you a dollar on the
j very best ol security. It may be good
I banking. We do not know. Bat it has
j always seemed to us that where the
j taper was absolutely good, and the
I man paid his interest and kept his
I note financial that it was the business
I
| of the bank to lend its money. Of
I course, we know that a man should
-pay his obligations, but what is a
bank for? Simiply to receive and take
care of the money of other people?
i
^ Or does it owe an obligation to the
wpeople of the community to furnish
[money for the legitimate business of
j the community, provided, always, of
course, that the collateral is good and

gard for the paper that (he gives and
keeps it in a financial condition. What
good is a bank to the community if it
simply hoards the money in its vaults?
Just as well let it remain in the stockj
ings of the people or the cracks of the
! houses. It is taken out of circulation.
i
I Why force a man to pay his uoce if
it is p-nnfi and his f-nllatprnl snffiripnt
; to make the bank safe, if he is will|
ing to keep his note in commercial
: shape and pay toe interest?
j We have been told that the vory best
of paper has 'been turned down, and
i i
j men whose collateral and ability to pay
| could not be questioned, have -been
; forced to come across, it takes moneyout
of circulation and hurts all busiI
s
iness. Of course, we know this bank|
er will say: "You miserable fail|
ure and .ool, what right have you
.
j to say what I shall do, and what right
liav-e you to presume w?hat is best
| for me to do." Well, we have said it,

advised the farmer who owed money
1
and tad cotton, to sell some of it and
pay the merchant and the banker, bej
cause we have felt that it would be
better for him to do so than to try to
hold a few bales a: cotton and pay
, big interest charges and storage and
insurance. We have said what we
! have aibont rbp hanks hpransp we hp
I ~ ?' " " " ~ '' w
: lieve that they owe it to the community,
if they have money in their vaults, to
help the community by putting that
money in circulation if they can get
good security for the money they have
i to loan. A bank is a quasi public inj
stitution, and should do all it can to
tielp the community whidh has made
possible its existence and which has
contributed to its success. Of course,
it should be done on a safe basis, but

if a man w'ro has always met his
obligations comes in with a perfectly
good paper and ti.ie bank knows it is
good and wants to borrow money or
wants to extend his present obligation.

to do so can be of great benefit to the j
commercial interests of this communi- \
ty, or they can be a great hindrance to
the progress of the community. W;.ich
I will they do? The people are no fools. ;
A day of reckoning will come. "Some
' of us no doubt will go broke and go
, out of business, but there will be oth|
ers to take our place. The man who
' now demands the piece of fiesn near

START THE MOVEMENT.
I . |
How would it do to have a pay up
j week in Newberry. If everyone who
I nwftc a email fl^cniint and has the
money will start the movement a few
dollars will pay up a great many
debts. The people who work on salaries
have the same coming now that!
they tad when money was more plentiful
and yet it sometimes happens
that they catch the spirit of t e wail
of hard times and make excuse for
I not paying on that account.
I
i What we need to do is for every
| one who has the money and owes any
j one a dollar to start the movement at
once by paying that dollar and if le
' would follow that dollar up and every
! one would pursue the same policy,
| he would be surprised to see 'now
i many debts it would pay in a short
time.
! What we deed is to get the money in
circulation and the way to do it is
for those who have it to start the!
movement. What little money comes !
| the way of The Herald and News is i
j kept going. Nothing hoarded here, J
j Pay your subscription and we will
turn it over to some one else* at once.
Start the movement. II' you d<5n't
owe any one, buy something and keep
1 your money working. That is what it
<was made for.
