Correspondents and ad-1 vertisers will please made a note of, at mis. APPRECIATES ITS NEWSPAPERS. We have long felt that good news j papers were the best asset that any j town cc.uld have. Indeed we do not j sec !i.)w it would be possible to build] up a town and make it live and pro- J gress've vithcut. wide-awake newspa-: pers.

They seem to feel that money paid the papers for service is thrown away. We have just heard of a place, not a thousand miles away, that rather than pay its newspapers i + n?

We are glad to be able to say that in Greenwood the newspapers have always been appreciated by the several councils that we have had, and that they have received fair treatment in every instance. But let it be known no* /Iracm waaH ic a KrnaHcaiicP iin-trv WiVVUIIWU AO v/t*V?0w? WWdate, progressive place. Enough for the present!?Greenwood Journal. We have often wondered what sort of town Newberry would be if there were no newspapers printed here. Had you ever thought of that? And yet there are people right here who never subscribe for a paper, even at one and a half cents, a week, and are Teady to make sneering remarks about the pa? ? ?X ? A ? J pers uia.i are piuiitru. auu who never spend a cent on advertising. And if the town were made up entirely of such individuals it would be impossible to have a newspaper printed in the town. But the merchants have found out that it is the merchant who advertises judiciously who succeeds. And the merchant who does not generally goes out of busi ness. As for the city administration, it does very little for the newspapers. It does not even print the license ordinance. And if it has had any printing done in the last three or four years it has been done out of town or by the other office. And yet we have a good town ana the people we believe stand by their 'home capers and home printing offices as a rule. We are not complaining. We have made up our mind never again to complain about anything. We are going to see whether it might have been worse no matter what happens. (We aTe satisfied if a newspaper is not appreciated it is the fault of the news paper. The trouble with most of us is that we do not put a proper value upon what we have to sell. Death of Mr. Solomon Amnions. Mr. Solomon J. Amnions, who lived near the Farmers' Oil mill, died Saturday afternoon and was buried at i\V<est End cemetery Sunday at 3:30 o'clock p. m. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Gobe Smith. Mr. Am mons was b'6 years 01 age ana leaves a widow and two small children. Visits in Columbia, Dr. C. K. Wheeler of the Prosperity.

The government ginners report came our Monday morning as of October IS. It shows that 5, 713,347 bales of this crop had been ginned. The report for last year of October 17 showed that 7,619,747 had been ginned. This is nearly two million bales short of the crop of last year and it is the opinion of those who keep up with the cotton movements that at least 60 per cent o;! i the present crop has been ginned. One reason for this opinion is the high price at which seed has sold. The farmer desired to take advantage of that price.! j The cotton has not been marketed very largely. j On this report and the opinion that 60 per cent of the present crop ha?1 been ginned, it would indicate a crop; for this year of less than ten million.' bales, or a crop of 9,522,245 bales. Cer-; tainly all the signs point to a crop of not many over ten million bales if it should reach the ten million mark. It would seem to a layman that sucl! a ginning report would stimulate the market, but on the contrary it went off. It will have to come again, and we believe that it will go beyond 15 cents, 1 t we would not like to have any hoM cotton on our judgment, because it is worth about as much as the opinion of the fellow who prophecies when the I war in Europe will come to a close and I Deace be restored. A Strangre Bird. One day last week, Mr. P. S. Livingstone, who lives about a mile from Dead Fall school house, found in the i public road, near his house, a rather , peculiar bird. Neither Mr. Livingstone | nor his neighbors know its name orj how it came to be there, though It is supposed that it was brought there by ! "* ^ T 4* *5 IT? O wrofnr j IJJC v? JiiVl. XL IS j7(.livnj u naivi uuu. It does not walk, but crawls aiong with, its feet in a swimming position. It does not seem to be able to fly ivery well and because of this reason Mr. Livingston caught it very easily. In appearance, it resembles a pelican nf whirh it is a decided SDecie. Its color is that of a gray storm cloud, with no relief except that of a lighter gray on its breast. Its feet are of the -dark gray color and we'bbed.. They are almost as large as a 10-year-old child's hand. The body of the bird is no larger than a good-sized hen's and is just about so shaped. As to foo-d, it was found that fresh meats, and especially fish, seem to be the only things that satisfy its hunger. It is evidently a fishing bird, for its beak is just about five inches long and is j' ,-olnted like a king-fisher's and, *.f | above stated, prefers fish to any other | food. os. J. Wm. Folk of Jalapa, who for j several years lived on the coast near ; Georgetown, and who was in this office on Saturday when Mr. Livingstone brought the bird here, stated that it was frequently seen in the bays and eddies in search of food. He alio staled that it was a specie of the pelican j and that it was called "comaral." . Mr. Livingstone was glad to hear the = name, for he said that he did not wSrtit anything without a name around him. Death of Mr. Jimmie BelL ( Jimmie Bell, a nephew of Mr. M. M. Buford, died at his father's home Clinton Sunday night and was buried Monday afternoon. Mr. Bell was aboui JQ nf ooo TJl'c- TI'l -f ^ txtVi 1-k WQC I T JO ^ cai ^ KJL .

E. V. Babb of 5 Easlev to become pastor of the church. ; A letter has been received from Mr. r Babb accepting the call, but stating ^ that he could not come until the first ( of January, as he felt he sould give ? his present pastorate that much no- t tice. This was agreeable to th? Newberry congregation and Mr. Babb has . t been so notified. t The Xewberrv congregation has been t without a pastor for several months, < since the Rev. Dr. Jones resigned. It is good news to the people of Newberry that the congregation has secured a pastor and Dr. Babb and his family will be given a warm reception and hearty welcome, not only by the . Baptists of Newberry, but by all ovut ] people. 1 1 Death of .Mr. Ambrose Kibler. Mr. Ambrose Kibler of the St. Phillips community died early Saturday mornin? and was buried at St. Phillips church Sunday at 11 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted by his j pastor. Rev. Y. von A. Riser. Mr. Kib-j ler was a member of the Woodmen of'-" i _ the World and that Order conducted C its funeral ceremony in a beautiful and 1 impressive manner. Mr. Kibler was 1 nearly 29 years of age and leaves a 1 widow, who -was Miss Nettie Banks, f and three small children. j n J I Caldwell Meet me at tht ^ 1 where you can feel back of every sale u hack.
