fee Heroin nitD Jem. Entered at the Postcffice at New-; ferry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, February 11, 1916. Representatives Chapman and Mow? A?3 oa fn tho CT VOltU. IIIC Uiviua^c iu iuv, salary of the assistant attorney general of $100, but voted for the increase in the salary of the superintendent of ; the asylum of $2,000. Mr. Mower voted against the increase in the salary for the assistant on the ground that the assistant should not receive as much salary as the attorney general. Mr. Chapman on the ground that he was opposed to the increase in salaries. On what ground he voted for the increase in the asylum raise we do not know. The assistant attorney general did not ask a raise in salary though the was about 51 to 63 for the raise What has become of the A. R. Presbyterian, ;T.he Greenwood Journal, and The Herald and News on the tax question since we showed them the rate was lower in Abbeville last year than in recent years. It seems that they might, at least, correct the erroneous impression created by their articles on the subject.?Abbeville Medium. lWe dunno what you mean. If we have said anything we oughtn't to have said, we ask your pardon, sir. If we have done anything we should not have done, we implore your forgiveness and assure you it was not intentionally done. If we have left ^unsaid something we should have said, or failed to do something we should have done, let us know what it is, please, and if not inconsistent with our preconceived ideas of right, we will try to do it. If The Herald and News has ever said anything about the tax rate in Abbeville county we do not recall it, but, you know, we say so many things, and possibly some we should not, that it is a little difficult to recall all of them. We do not know about the A. R. Presyterian and the Journal, but The Herald and News pleads not guilty. We notice from the Greenwood Journal that Greenwood has a good roads a <*s/vM?tion and that at a meeting the other -day it was decided to build some roads out from Greenwood so that people might the more easily come into Greenwood. That will be worth more to Greenwood than almost any other thing she might do. There is nothing that contributes so much to the upbuilding of a community as the! building of good roads and nothing I win hplo Greenwood as much as the j building of some roads so that the' I people may the more easily come to town. 'A good roads association that "was awake and alive would be a good thing for any town. It takes a j little money to make one that is worth while but the amount from each would be so small compared with the bene- ' fits to be derived. i ? ** f This is a fine time to use the split, leg drag on roads. It is a great ma- j chine and costs little to handle. Usej it and have good roads. Don't forget, please to send that, dollar for your Herald and News i while you can get it for a whole year for that amount. After March 1 the, price will be $1.50, and all who are : in arrears, unless some arrangement, is made, will be taken from the list, j J\Ve want you to remain a member of our family, but we want only those "who are willing to do their share foi the proper support of the family. Your share is the price cf the subscription and just now- we are givng one-thrd off in order to place you in good stand ing. Will you not please attend to this little matter now before it is too i late. The rcids of Spartanburg must be to the bad. The Herald has been pleading i.iost eloquently and sensibly in an effort to get the legislative delegation to do something to relieve the situation, but all its appeals seem to fall on deaf ears. Brother, didn't you i know that this was election year, and the war whoop the coming summer must be we reduced your taxes. And it is too short a time now to get any 1 ~ si Vs f*AA results n um. i uau ?vi n. ucriui c mc election. There is no wiser or more economical measure the legislature could provide than some means by which the roads might be improved. But listen, dear reader, to these | plaintive notes from a recent issue of i the Herald: I Anyway, if the delegation is not go! ing to give us roads they might make provision for equipping the highways 1 with wireless, so that floundering trafi | fic may communicate with the shore. | j We saV a fellow yesterday who claimed to have made the trip to Pauj line and bach without getting seasick. An appropriation for a lighthouse on the Duncan road might be provided. | We think we hear the wild calling i ' us. i FOR 0>E DOLLAR. i As we have stated before, when The ( Herald and News resumed publication ; last February, after a brief suspension we did not feel that it would be wise I to commence at once the old rule ol ' cash in advance, and then, besides, at , that time business was fearfully dull and the people were blue and remainec 1 very much in that frame of mind until i the close of the summer. We decided. ! and so stated, that we would not take : any names off our list until the fall, | at least, and that if any one did not care for the paper or intend to paj for it please to notify us and we would : take the name off the list. We have ! been very much gratified that so few ! discontinued. In fact we did not lose 'a dozen. But now times are better and more money is in circulation, and we muse be paid the small amount that is due us. or we can not continue to send the I ! paper. In looking over our mailing ; list on Friday we found that in the : short period of ten months we had ac| cumulated about 800 whose date still . bears the figures 1915. We have j thought about a contest, but out ex | perience with contests is not eatisj factory. If you get the contestants in! terested you get the subscribers and collect the money, but by the time you pay the premiums and the commissions to the managers there ie nothing left, and so we abandoned that idea. To get some one to collect the back dues will cost over 30 per cent. So that is not practicable. We want to get on the cash basis again. In fact, it is the only way to handle the subscription list of a counTV? +V>/v WA Li j papci. ua tnc v^ic7viit ojoi^ui ty \~ accumulated at one time once before over ten thousand dollars on back subscription, and. charged it off at one time. We can not afford to do that any more, but we find that in montns we have accumulated abcT. $1,200 on this account. We can not stand that either. We know that our subscribers will realize the force of what we here say. We do not want to part with any of you. We love you as a member of the family. We do not desire to be understood as being inclined to put a premium on getting in arrears. But we want to give you an opportunity md an inducement to get in advance again. So we have decided to give you the paper for one year for OXE DOLLAR. if it is paid by or before March 1. 1916, at 6 p. m. This applies to old subscribers, who are in arrears, and new subscribers and all others. <\\\ want to treat every one alike and be fair to all. So even if you are paid in advance you can get a year for OXE DOLLAR. We will not take a subscription at this rate for less than a year nor for longer than two years. Ai'rcr the first of March every name on our mailing list that has not paid ai least to 1'JiO will l>e stricken off. There will be no re spec tor of persons on account of anything. We uo this .0 give those who have gotien behind an opportunity to catch up, and in order to be fair to those who are in advance they can have the same rate of one dollar, if paid between this time and March 1. Send a dollar bill, a dollar check, a dollar money order, any f way so you get us the dollar. And get it now. We would not despise even a silver dollar or four quarters or two halves. Don't postpone this. Do it ' now. j f jg[J We are working with a small force ' and can not get out and collect suD-1 * ! scriptions, aid it does not pay to send i i j out collectors and besides, under this } offer, we are proposing to gi've the | ' subscriber the commission we would j ! pay the collector. Whp not earn it and j earn it now? This is the only oppor; tunity. We are going to give you a better : paper than we have ever given and ! that means some paper. This is going ,) to be a political year, and while The i Herald and News is not going to be in j ' Dolitics or tote the skillet for any of J > i j the politicians, we expect to print the i I news and give all sides a fair and ; square deal, and tell the truth. as we I see it. We will comment and criticize i j as we think the public welfare de mands of a newspaper. Always doing j j so in parliamentarv language and j 'j treating those who do not agree with j i us fairly and giving them credit for ' honestv of conviction. I But the point now is this is an op- j i portunity for you to get a real news | paper for a whole year for only one | dollar. j ? Livingston-Kibler. 1 On Wednesday afternoon.
