I A number of subscriptions expire j along about t: e first of December and j the first of January. While we are i , i going to adhere to our cash m ad-! j vance system, we have not or t!'.ie1 I>ast two weeks taken off the names of j all those whose subscription has ex- i pired. We hope you will examine voiir label and i: vour tim^ is out. re rew. if cnly for four months, as we do not desire to loose anv of our sub -1 scribers. If we do not hear from you, how- j ever, by the first of January all subscriptions in arrears will be laken | from our mailing list.

It is pleasant to have your course commended and as one grows older he becomes more sensitive to such commendations. It is too bad for the constables to 1 ha've seized Mayor Floyd's liquor. He is not selling it and wq dare say none nf thnc? whn wptp ir> nartrtprshin in ! the barrel are engaged in the sale. Then Mr. Floyd genrally orders good and pure corn liquor. We think he is the official who put the lid down so taut in Spartanburg. This is a fine time to us the split log drag. Many roads could be put in fine condition by the proper use of this simple device. If the supervisor would just let out the contract to the forrnnno if wanl/1 fr? aI.tv tiVom q n^ /^rwct iai liivi c it '' vuxu uuu vvoi little and put many roads in fine condition. We heard a farmer say the other day he would take the contract to keep a certain section of road in his community in good condition for the commutation paid on the road. Under the law tJ':. e money is to go to that road. It would be a good trade for the county. IThe News anr Courier is handling j the publicity end for Col. E. J. Wats n ?.nd tf e State tlr.e same for Senat - J. ! L. McLaurin. Thev are both telling! how the farmer can get some of the new money. If the plan is not soon perfected it will be too late to neip | ' tf:e little fellow and when the little-j one goes the foundations for the big ones receive a severe blow. Seems to us Col. Watson and Senator JVIcLaurin should be working together and may be they are. Tfce statements are generally too long ; -v. I for the county newspaper to handle. fWT'y not make 'em a little shorter. \ * The Peoples National Bank of Columbia 'has 2600 members of the Christmas savings lub and will pay cut approximately $50,000. T':at will ftelp some and many of those who belonged will Cave some IChriL'mas money, whereas if they had not joined many of them would not have had a cent. Then the bank is going to pay off in new money fresh from the federal reserve bank. I The Commercial Bank, and the Newberry Savings Bank botfn> had the Christmas club. It would be inter tr&uiig iv imi/w nvw iuc) suutccucu iu Newberry. Half $50,000 paid out from such a fund in Newberry this week would help wonder-ully and many a Christmas present couid be bought, and many a teart made happy. We started two or three of these little accounts but generally had to fall down at tfce first or second cross llig. At any rate everv little -helps and if i the two banks in question desire The Herald and News will be only too giad to publish a statement for the banks as an ecouragement for the formation of simliar clubs during the coming rflop TViov Qro crrxrtrl tfmnorc airl mp? * tai . A A?\ J i. ?5WU M .AU VAAVV a person finds how easy it is to save and how good the little savings como in he will desire to keep it up and others will go and do likewise. If you want to bo happier this Christmas than you have e.er been before at Christmas make somebody, who has no hope, muco lass expecta tion, of being happy this Chirstmas happier than he or she 'has ever been at Christmas.?Greenville Piedmont. This is the gospel to preach at this time. In fact, it is not bad doctrine at any time. The truly sel- ish person cannot be 1 appv here and we do not belie.e :e can possibly be in that other land whence we are journeying. His weaun can i maive .uu unc, and we are sure it will cut no ice ever there, because when he departs hence that is one thing that remains b ehind. That is the spirit trat should be manifest at this time. Make other people happy and those that are least expecting to be rappy. A gentleman told us the ot'^er day that a certain country physician of this county told him that he was feeling good and was looking cheerfully at t) e situation. He said the people of his community had been good to / him and had contributed to his success and by their patronage and support had enabled frim to accumulate something. That he had a little money on hand and he was going to use it to live on until times got better and he was not even going to ask any one to pay a bill for his services at this time. He knew they would pay if t'-ey had it. If any one came along and offered to pay anything he would of course accept it. And that he was going on serving mose peupie ju&i &-> faithfully and honestly as he would if they paid what t'hey owed and if they were going to pay promptly now. He knew they would pay when they got the money. He was not going to press any one for settlement. That man is a benefactor to his community and tl.-e people of-* the community should and will &tand by him and when times get better he will get every cent coming to him and he will iraive even more now. TO at is the spirit for every one who is in position to do it to exhibit. Most of those who fcave money due will have to wait and be patient and it is just as well to do it in the Polly Anna spirit. By the way th:.s is a good time to read Polly Anna. Let's start t1 e reading club. GIFT GIVING SEASON. We are fast approaching the season of gift bearing. It is the season which commemorates the greatest gift oif Ood to man. For more than nineteen hundred years it has been observed as the time of peace on earth, good will to men. HYom the time when the wise men saw the star in the east men fcave L 4. A A /> X f 4\TY"? O P uecil let U gill IU uusei ve iuc VJunoLuiao tide as peculiarly a time .wfcen there should be good cheer and there sTTouId be giving of gifts and the making of other people happy. It is a time when we should forget oar troubles and misfortunes and be cheerful and happy over tJ-e.celebration of the event that commemorates that greatest oC gifts to man. There is no better way in whic'h we can celebrate it than in bearing gifts to our friends and laved ones and tbose who need our help and encouragement. Let us forge:, for the time being what fhe price of cotton is and that there is a war and refuse to hear tt'oe cry of hard times, and go down street and see the many pretty things 'and useful tilings that will cost but little, and buy some of them and carry them to some home and to some one who will be made happy thereby. It will do all of us good. A doll for the baby or the little girl, some toy for the other children and some useful thing for the grown up. And then in your gift bearing do not neglect the poor whom .ye have with you always. Walk out some afternoon or evening and look at the windows o1:' the stores and see what pretty things t'he merchants have bought, and what use1 4. 'U : ^ ~ ~ ^ +%\ ^ 4.
