A TALK WITH THE FAMILY.
" 'Twixt me and you," I want to say a
word. When I decided to put on the
sale of The Herald and News for $1.00
until the first of March it was with the
purpose, as stated, to give all who are
in arrears the opportunity and inducement
to catch up again and get ahead.
A good many have taken advantage of
this cheap sale. Many whose time is
not yet out have taken advantage of it,
. and many new members have been added
to the family and I want to give
them a warm and cordial welcome. All
who have paid up to and through last
Friday have been cradited on the label
on their papers. Examine that and see
if you have the proper credit.
I went over the mailing list very carefully
on Saturday. 1 find that there are
pfill Kr\? if rr\r\ 'wTi r\ -n rtr\f r\l n rl
31111 d *J\J LI c VMIV V. A*V^C
themselves in the 1916 class. Now, I
am going to give you one more call. I
have mailed to each one a letter appealing
to you to pay what you were due,
and giving you the date to which you
have paid. As the first of March comes
in the middle of the week, and as we
run our books by the week, I am going
to give another opportunity to every
member of the family to contribute one
dollar for one year on what is due up
and until the office closes on Saturday
night of this week. Positively no furtheX
extension, and it will be a long
time before you will be able to secure a
twice a week 8 page six column paper
for that price. We have received two
notices from our paper dealer quite recently
advising of a 20 per cent raise in
the price of paper. And that is not
guaranteed. The price is likely to go
up over night. But since we have start
ed this campaign we will see it out, and
the time is extended to Saturday of this
week. Positively no further extension;
and all who do not get in the 1916 class
will be taken from our list unless some
arrangemnt is made. We hate to part
'with you, but can't help it if you do not
avail yourself of this opportunity.
^ Last week 120 took advantage of the
price and 47 of these did so on Saturday.
Do not wait, but send the dollar
right along. We will take it on Saturday
but not after that date. Don't forget
this.
Examine the label on your paper and
see if after your name the date is '16 or
beyond. If it is not get yourself in
shape to make it read '16 by Saturday.
After the 15th of March?we correct our
list on the first and fifteenth of each
month?all who are not in the 1916 class
will be taken off, and you have the opportunity
this week to get there at the
rate of one dollar a year, and, except in
very rare cases, it will take only one
dollar for any one to get there. Examine
your label. r E. H. lAt
Use the split log drag on the roads.
There is nothing that costs so little that
will do so much good to the roads as
the use of the drag.
It now develops that the Germans
have been using wood pulp to make their
explosives and that they can make powder
from it much cheaper than from

sary. The German chemists discovered
this many years ago in their preparedness
campaign for the war. The embargo
which England placed upon cotton
has cost the cotton growers of the
South, during the two seasons, according
to the Augusta Chronicle, about a
half billion dollars. And yet there are
some of our o\\m people who say that
England was right and we should not
complain, that it was a war measure.
rrhere is really no reason for cotton tD
decline in price except speculation. The
? total crop this year was only n,ooo,occ
bales and the consumption in this country
is over seven million bales and there
has already been exported four mil
lion bales and the foreign market will
want and get more than four million
bales-of the present supply, in this country.
We heard a cotton mill man say
the other day that he expected to see a j
cotton famine in this country about
August. That is all of the present crop j
used and the next crop not yet ready
for market. We believe that the fellow !
. i
who holds on will get a better price in i
the early spring, but it is all speculaf've j
and we would not have anv one do so i
i
on what we say.

The Greenwood Journal 01 mursuay <
says that politics is picking up. That!
is a pretty good way to put it and judg- j
ing from the papers The Journal seems J
to be about right. A number of states- I
! men are mentioned for governor and so i
j on, and it looks now that in this year oi j
J grace there is to be politics a plenty.
! The Herald and News is not in the least
I ...
; disturbed. It shall be our policy this j
I yenr to give every one a fair and square j
i deal, and let all of them tote their own '
| skillet.
i j
\ (We have- not yet gotten our $500 and .
only a few days more remain in which :
'to raise it. If vou have not contributed I
1
; your share yet baying what you owe j
; do so at once and help us to raise it, |
j The price for this week is only one dol|
lar for a year. ;That is a very small
I matter to you but m the aggregate a
1 !
j very big thing to us.
i The board of health requests The Heri
aid and News to request the parents of
'the children who were in high * school
j to keep them off the streets and at
j home for some days yet. The board
| things this precaution is in interest of j
; the health of the community and will
1 prevent the possible spread of scarlet
j fever. The board has no power under
| the law to enforce such a regulation
i but feels that the parents of these children
should be as much interested in
| the health of the community as the
, board and that a simple request will be
' j sufficient.
j We have found another member of
: | our family who has been a member
since he was 16 years old?Mr. B. L.

; of having been a subscriber for a half
: century. The loyalty of such members
: of The Herald and News household is
i
; very gratifying and we are encouraged
to serve them better than ever before.
! The Herald and News publishes an
1
| interesting article in this issue on "A
1 i ....
Fatal Ocrubination.' Read it, especially
if you are a user of gasoline. We have
j frequently seen the chamois skin used
as a strainer of gasoline. This
| article says it is a most dangerous thing
! to do. In fact we have been using such
i a strainer in the office for the gasoline
| that we use. We suppose this fellow
j knows what he is talking about. At any

We publish a short article in this issue
from Mr. Robert Holmes which is timeI
ly' advice. It is a good thing to raise
j what you need on the farm evn if coti

i Herald and News has been preaching
for 25 years or more, to the certain
knowledge of this editor. It is good

preached them in season and out of season.
If the city will enforce the traffic ordinance
it is a pretty erood ordinance,
but if it is not there will be some accident.

and he could not recall it but it was
