The Herald and News wishes all its j I readers, friends and enemies if we j have any, mighty well for the Christ- j mas time and a happy and prosperous i New Year. There will be no issue o: The Her-| aid and News next Tuesday. We pre- j ler to get out tOe paper for Friday j and take our vacation tihe end of the! year. The office will be closed on Fri- I I day and Saturday but someone will be nere on Monday and the balance of tfee time to look after what business may come. We will possibly do no work before Wednesday. We publish in this issue a statement from Mr. Wkde Stackbouse in regard to tfne cotton corporation and also a call from Mr. C. E. Summer president of the Newberry Cotton association for a meeting of farmers, bankers and business men and all otriers, to be held at New berry on the second ot January, 1915, for the purpose of getting together and discussing trie cotton corl?oration. This is an important meeting and should be largely attended. The Herald and News has taken this position all along that the best that could be done at this time is for all interested to come together and reach some agreement by which tr.ere could Ve mutual help and mutual confidence and in this way conditions for the new rear could be put in much better shape. This will be tae last isFae of The Herald and News for the year 1914. As we stated in a recent issue, the subscription of a number of our sub scribers goes out with the year. A i good many expired in December and some few in November. We fcave not taken any o:' these from our mailing list on account of the cry of hard times and we hope that they will all pay something and thus help us to carry the burden for them. Some -lave paid and some have written that they would in a few days and we are j ioping 10 hear '.rom them all -early :n January. We do not care to lose any of our subscribers and while we are convinced that the cash in advance is the better plan for the subscriber and the editor and we expect to adhere to it, still we are willing to make an exception for a few months if we have tbe assurance of the subscriber tha< be desires the paper and will pay for it at tfcat time. We desire to practice what we preach to bear and forbear and help one another. It would be a very small Katler for each subscriber whose time kes expired to pay 50 cents but in the aggregate it would be a considerable sum to the editor. We hope each one T.ill realize the importance of this .nd send in even a small amount on his subscription. The Last Meetznsr for the Year. The Young People's Missionary society of Central Methodist churcu held its regular meeting Sunday afternoon in the church parlor. TXiis .vas our last meeting for the year.

The thing struck me forcibly when I first saw it. I don't know who got it up or whether it is original or not, but it deserves to be put among the famous aphorisms?I believe that is the word I want?any way I want to say j that it deserves to be among the wise sayings of tne age. And it should be | burned deep and lasting into every j heart and soul in this good town of ! Newberry. It read like this: "Winners don't knock. Knockers don't win." it is as true as toe gospel f salvation. I wonder more people don't see it and practice it. You know, this is a good old town in many respects, but I would be willing to wager my last year's panama suit that there is no -town with the same number of square inches and the same number of people to the square inch that can produce more KnocKers tnan can un.s. goodly town of Newberry. I really j don't think ti'iey mean any harm but they just got the foahit and can't help , it. I reckon, but Lord knows they j should try to help it. That's one habit j trey should get rid of. You know you j can really get the habit of going to \ church, and really with many people! it is a babit more than anything else, j But let's get back to toe aphorism ' It is so true. Think of it, you goo:l i ! people of Xewberry "Knockers don t; win. Winners don't knock." That's; put backwards. It's just the same.! True as the gospel of salvation. When j - ? -*?- I >ou KnocK your waii wuu uu j-vu . knock. Don't you knock yourself? Just as much as anybody else. Stop. Think. Consider. These three will j do you good. Help one another. But this is Christmas time and this J article will be published in Die paper j that bears tr.e Christmas date line, j and, thsre ore, I must not even talk ' or write about knockers, but about; the joy time and the blessed tim* of! gift bearing and about love, for reai-' I ly that should be the real name of, Santa Claus. That is what the name ' means. I hope it will mean it well! and truly in thousands of homes > throughout this beautiful land of ours on the Christmas day and throughout all the world. I read a pretty little poem on the true Santa C'aus the j r>rhor sinri T pro grnn? to nass it ! on to you. You see I am still fond j of beautiful sentiment and I like it j better when expressed in sweet verse, i Read it and when you think about! Santa Claus remember that this lit-, tie poem says of him, "My truest and , holiest nai?e, is Love." Ain't it true?! If Santa Claus means anything that'o what it means. i 'There's never a ihome so low, no doubt, , j But I in my flight can find it out, Xor a hut so hidden but I can see The shadow cast by the lone roof-tree, I There's never a home so proud and ! high, That I an) constrained to pass it by; j Nor a heart so happy it may not be ! Happier still when blest by me! j "What is my name? Af.i>! who can tei1. Though in every land 'tis a magic spell; Men call me that, and they call me j this, i Yet the different names are the same.! I wis, Gi t-Bearer to al! the world am I, Joy-Giver, Light-Bringer, wher'er I fly; But the name I bear in the Courts above, My truest and holiest name, is Love.' ?Sunday School Times. ! 0?

Vinol; Changed Everything for Her Plant City, Fla.?" I wish I could tell everybody about Vinol. For nine years I was in bad health. I got so I could not sleep, and I could not stand it to have my children come near me. I could not even sew or do any heavy housework. I was simply tired all the time. I tried so manv medicines I could not recall them all, but nothing did me any good. One day a friend asked me to try Vinol and said it was the best tonic she ever saw. I did so, and soon got the first good night's sleep I had had for a long time. Now I sleep well, my appetite is good, my nervousness is all gone and I am so strong and well I do all my housework and work in my flower garden i without feeling tired or nervous.
