I We have taken off the list all who j have not paid beyond June 15 this j year. If your time is out July 1 you \ bad better examine the label on your j i?per today if you want the good oldj Herald and News to continue making ; ifcg twice a week visits to your home,; a. - ??i. -11 mint. TT-il 1 V?Q ! wvcawst; cuivr rnua; aa-i suuu n m vc taken of?. The price is only $1.5$ a year aod fifty cents will pay you from July 1 to November 1. Every one who "*v is interested can raise fifty cents to* ?ct & live and real newspaper for J tcmr months. We make no distinctions. Treat every one alike. We are making a good newspaper. , We don't deserve anv credit for it. . * ( * We just cant help it. We are justj sat Mr ally built that way and it comes; CO e??y. Better -coere along and stayj t "W&fc as. We know you will come back, / tat there there is a lot of trouble in tafei&g off and putting on names. Better remain on while yoa are there. And wfcile we are on tke suoject 1 "W?e just as well say again that our rate for advertising since the first of , J Ibis year is 121-2 cents the inch net 1 to us, the same to every one. We had 5 to increase the income in order to ' { saeet the high cost of paper and we tiiooght best to increase the price of advertising, which was already too low, rather than increase the price of subscription. So far those who adxertise as a rule have been very nice about it, and have raised no objecHon to the increase. We actually had i a subscriber tell us the other day that 4 we should increase the price of subecription as well, and we reckon he Ls < right, for the present we have not , done so. , . ^ fWe notice the jail commission is , offering" the jail lot for sale. That j ^ means we suppose that it'is their pur-'t poee to sell it. Of course \ye suppose j { tiie commission has power under the: < V j act to -de as it pleases, but still that; j does not keep or prevent a private cit-; j fluH o hii-mhlo ta*nAVAr from hav- I , ittg an opinion and expressing it, | ( without the charge of meddling where j he should not. We think it would ^ fce a mistake to sell the present prop- j -erty. We unc^erstand that one of j } those who offered a site for the jail I , was kind enough to value the present i J lot and buildings at $1,000 in exchange j ^ for his property as part payment. The; present location, as we have said i aforetime, is the proper place to lo- j j cate the new jail. It is already the | ^ for the new jail. It* is already the I v ! * ? property of the county. The location; , 4s good. It is retired and also near in.1 ! 6 * Better build on the old __ site and j get the town to make a good street' out,of Harrington from College toj.^ the jail, and out of Boyce from the j ^ jail to Main street. And ask the city j ^ i * also to take down some of those old! j 2 wooden shocks in rear of the opera I ( house- They should come down any- j ^ T?av. i1 We take it that the commission will1 ] < not take these suggestions as an in terference with any of their preroga- ^ tives or in any way meddling where; ( we have no business. We believe the j t commission is anxious to have sug-i gestions and that they will be taken j 3 in the spirit in which they are given, j ] ; 1 Chief Behrens of Charleston will be . i ] hi Newberry on Monday evening and^ i i will talk on fires and their prevention; ( and how to handle them. The talk j . I 3 -n-in Ho pn\-f>n at the nnera house at! <5 o'clock Monday evening. Chief ( "Wells of the Newbery department is j very anxious to lyxve the people generally turn out and hear Mr. Behrens.' . He is an entertaining talker and is going to talk on a subject with which I -he is familiar. <, ! ! i There have been good rains in most, i parts of the county during the past I ' several days and the crops are look ing well and are in fine growing con- : dition. j ] -GO AS FAR AS YOU LIKE." i ? It was a very appreciative sentiment mat a member of the State' Press Association entertained in regard to the conduct of the war. Another member had just suggested: that a telegram be sent President' Wilson pledging support to the war,; and urging mm to gu as im us like." The first member was sug-! gested as the proper person to write j i and send the telegram. Now, it so happens that the man! designated is above the fighting age! ?we're not talking about the con-j scription limit of thirty-one years,! either, because that's only the limit! ? "-1 't rcronf tr? fitrhf ft: lUr UiUrxi iAvy uvu c w ?c--. ?, also happens that this man has no son old enough to fight. The war as! far as he was personally and intimately concerned was to be waged by other men?we mean the real war, the killing and being killed, not the simulated war of a few dollars donated to this fund or that. cUnatArf mast mf*n would have LTV' OiVuwvvu. wmww . _ _ r been quick to seize the opportunity of being prominently patriotic by advocating a wa? to the knife ? it wasn't going to kill him or any of hie family?but thig man viewed it I from the proper angle. He declined saying, "Let somebody send that telegram who is going to be there whei the war reaches the 'go as far as you i like* stage." Needless to say, that,1 telegram wasn't sent. Now, we could give the names of these men, and you would know each one of them, but what's the use? We only wanted to use the incident as the means of pointing out how dis-j similar other men in your community j and ours act every day. -We mean the i men who do not expect to fight, whoj have no sons to fight, but who are! loudly and vigorously advising the j president, although 'he never hears ; their wisdom, to "go as far as you! like." j fo's easy to wage war with other men's lives, brother, but have you tried to serve *in any capacity your self??Orangeburg Times ana uvulu:rat. ? We were present at the time the incident took place to whi(ti our friend i ~efers. We thought it was a good; DOint at the time, and as we stated! i n the last issue we did not know i ivhether or not the resolution ever 3assed. Your are right, it is easy ;o wage war with other men's lives,: )ut the thing is to go in and do some! t i fio-htine' vourself. if you hap-i /L Utv "D O ?- . >en to be so clamorous for war. We 1 lave said the same thing many times | since tliis war began, but we have not! >bserved that those that have been so i oud in their pTostestations of patriot-! sm have gone rushing to the front, j It is unfortunately too true that j Al ?nn* : ;hose wno mase iue must aviov i ibout -war, and are clamoring for war, j ire generally the ones who have K>mb proof jobs, or who find some ray not to go to the front, and who lever send any of their own to the ront. It is another way of saying i vhat Congressman Kitchin said in lis famous speech against the war: 'T* n-aitVi or rvh I TlAr mOT- ! 11, UVitUVl ~ J. il sourage to declare war for some >ne else to fight." We did not know but that the resoution had been sent, though we never J Leard of it again in the association. | Ve are glad it was not sent. We are just j i is loyal as any citizen of this great j -, i-_ i :ountry of ours, but we wouia not ue; villing to send a telegram to any man! o go as far as you please and we wiil indorse your action. We would not jive all of our freedom and democra-i ;y to the fellows across the seas. We! should at least keep a little of the | :hing at home for our own use. The thing now to do is to cooperate; in every way possible and not be j naking speeches find passing resolu-, :ions of endorsement What is needed j is service in every department of the government, and the best way to serve is bv serving and not by pass-: I ing endorsing resolutions. To abuse! others, who may have opinions that j [lo not agree with yours, as slackers, t will not help the cause, and is not' the kind of service that is needed. | Phis is a time for the "come onu boys," j sort of spirit and not the "Go to it.} t.m-5 " j "" I -*3^. The civil service commission asks that the newspapers publish a notice of examination of applicants for appointment as rural carrier for Whitmire. and says that there is no appropriation to pay for the notice, andj that it thinks it has sufficient rewsvalue that the newspapers would be pleased to print it free of charge. Well, we do print it, hut it is a legitimate advertisement ana should be paid for by the government. There is no other line of business which the government would ask to give its merchandise free of charge. For instance the government does not asK Miimads to haul ttooDS free.

When the editors got back from that Beaufort convention the champion teller of fish stories will likely have to "go foot."?Spartanburg Journal. Fi9h stories have to take a back sent when you hear about the wonderful results of the trucking business, i What is being done in this line in I Beaufort reads like a fairy tale. Fish J stories are not in it. Vrvn mav disfigure barns and fences j and rocks and roads, waste your money on so-called business charts, and all that sort of thing, and vainly imagine you are advertising. But you are not. The newspaper that regu-; larly vis% hundreds of homes, and is ; looked upon by its readers as a. re- j liable friend and adviser, is the medium through which the wide-awake business man will speak to the people, i ?the kind you bite; V^uutfv u-u ? ?0 on when a stranger comes around j with a great "scheme," is like quack' medicine?the less you take of it the better. The man who appreciates the value of newspaper advertising, and j has business instinct enough to know 1 that all otner methods are spurious, is the man who meets with success.? ^ *- T a/^ Gray* j uauuej ucugi/i. Then you six>ke a parable, old boy, j and we want simply to quote it for' the benefit of some of our men in Newberry who think they are adver tising when they pay for road signs and all sorts of schemes which the! foreigners work them for, and this i trvu. n for that sort of quack l JS <1 guuu tvr..? advertising. There are merchants here who never use the newspapers who will give all ad to almost any sort; of scheme that is presented by some one who wants to make money for v ?u himself, or to some plan Dy wmuu it is desired to pay for the printing i with the ads. The advertising that' pays in the long run is the advertising in the newspapers. j Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edward Fulenwider, Pastor.)
