||k Hera? anD Jem. |? ??tered At the Postofice at New- j i tery, S. C., as 2nd class matter. 1 j X. H. AULL, EDITOR. j ( t== j, Friday, August 24. 1917 ! t i , I ] Mr. W. E. Wallace told us tae ; j t other day that the hands along the! 1) road were putting the road between Newberry and Prosperity in good con< dition. We can not speak from our! 1 ] knowledge as we have not been over it, and will not he able to go for some days as III is being overhauled and when she comes out next time you vill think she is a new one. We are glad to hear that the road Is worked j and we hope that some arrangement i I ^ may yet be made to have it dragged j after each and every rain an<5 tnen U ( i "Will be good all the year round. It E $s all easy if some one will just take hold at the right end. . ^ We rather agf6e with that little Croup of wilful men who hold that if f you <jan and do conscript the man c ? ior service in the war you should not * object to conscrintinig the wealth! e that is accumulated by reason of the "war to carry it on. We hope tnat littie group of senators may be able e to put through their proposition that c' the expense of the war be largely b met by taxing the war profits. If the 11 profits are taken off from those who ^ TL , are egrowisg immensely rich out of the war, to meet the expenses of the ^ vOnStillnr ?+ llTkAtl Q war, msiau ui yiauug iv uj,uu poor man and the man who is really c ' producing the wealth of the country, then there will not be such a clam- n or for a continuance of the horrible p business. 1 ,mm v If the reports be true that come , from the work on the cantonment at S s Columbia and there has never bean s known such waste as is going on P there, and this at the same time that tl ic 1 Un f DTI thp TIP ~1- C1 lUv gUTCtuWvui, 4U E> ? ? x pi2 to make sacrifices and save In ii order to conserve every reseuroce of tl the country. And this is the report a irora not only those who work there [ w ?i>ct from those who visit me place, h Waste and graft seem to be the pre- ii TPttHcg Ideas of the work. a e notice from o?? of the Spartan- g papers that the banks of that n efty have arranged to keep open on t< Saturdays from 6 to 8 in the eve- ti sings ?o that men who are working at the camp may be able to" do some t] banking of their money. Just the 0 other day a gentleman who is work- n tng at the camp is Columbia made t> the remark to us that while the banks a advertised and urged the working t! man to save His earnings inai ine oa- c ly way the man at the camp could v do any banking was to lose a half day s la each week and that they could > hardly afford to do that." He said d tfeey had to get up at 5 ? 30 in tne e morning in order to get to work at'7 ^ v'i '* / and that they did not get beck to Qo- p lumbia in the evening until $ o'clock, g and that this was the schedule every n day including Sunday, and that the I banks were all closed. And the same e was true of the postoffice, said tnis geatleman. The only way they had n #0 keep their money was on their persons, without losing a day to go v t? the bank or the postoffice. ^ o The Greenwood Journal in giving a b Mst of those who failed to answer the call says that after the 10th of "Sep- 6 tember they will be deserters and af- P ?. .... , . s ter the I5ta "tney win oe oraerea g shot to death." We do not know who issued that order but that is the only * . place we have seen it. We were under th impression that they were h automatically drafted and ordered In 1 the army and would be sent at once 1 te France. 1 1? s j Somehow in the confusion incident P to putting the last issue of The Her- h aid and News to press several errors t slipped in. We want to refer to on- o *! *'? ava tpo nMntn/1 a 1* UUC. OUU1C tliuc 05U nc fiuvvvi ? cut -of a gentleman, or rather intend- I ed print his cut, and put Ms name un- a dej it and found out afterward that I it was not his cut at all, and we do d not know whose it was. On Tuesday ii we undertook to print a cut of the d *8 *? ?> < j v -> * ? St. Paul's parsosag? is eemiecUoa i ------nth an account of Old Fells' \ I ind while we discovered our error, as ;oon as the first paper came off the )ress but in order to make the cor-; ection we would have missed some of j >ur mail. The wrapper in which we i cept the cuts had St. Paul's parscn j ige written on it. And we took no Droof of it and put it to press. We :hink the cut we used was of the old j Parsonage of the Lutheran church at! Prosperity. The St. Paul's parsonige is only one story and we are printing it in this issue, CONFIDENTIAL Now. I do not want any one to read his, except he be a suscriger to The ierald and News. But T want to . . . i lave just a little confidential talK vith every one of tn^m. Of coarse, f there be any who are not loyal aembers of the family why then they oay skip it over and pass on tot somehing else. # *** .? Out of the 2200 papers that we are ! irinting each issue, I was a little urious to know just how many went , r? \'ftwhprrir hnmp-s xi I sat down one vening and counted them. I founi ( hat there are now just 1646 families d whom The Herald and News goes ach issue, who lire ia Newberry i ouaty. Our circulation has always een an open book.. That does not aclude the papers we send to Salua, -Leesville, Chapin, Peak, Dyson, ^ fnimtvillp or Cross Hill, all nearly i jwns and where we have good lists. J-ust about a year ago we had a ontest, and a great many paid up to 5 tie latter part of this year, or tke rst of next year, though very few , aid for more than one year. Unles3 ] change my mind very materially I t .ill never have another contest. Battle paying of so many in advance has J iven very little money during the j ummer from subscriptions. We have < ulled through thus far, even with ( ie high price of paper and the hign Dst of everything else. We have not lcreased, our subscription price, lough as ^ood a paper as The Herald A nd News prints twicv i week xs ^ orth more money than a dollar and g alf, even in normal times. We did S lcrease ouri advertising rate, and I * in pleased to say that the advertis- 1 rs have made no protest. But Au- C ust and September are generally oil vK-v Hilonths with the s^yertigers in this t jwn, which is not Wii^ii bran adrerising town'at Now, listen, there are about 65 >f he subscribers whose time was out ^ J n the first and the fifteenth of this , 4 aonth. We have not yet been abie f o make the corrections on the list, i nd we are going to send tnem on to ' he first of September and take a hance on getting the renewal. Bi't v'hat I want to say is, that if tn? ubscribers love The Herald and j >ews as I believe a majority of them o, I would appreciate it more than I ^ an say if e?eh one would just sit ! own and write his name on a. piece of , cv laper and enclose a dollar bill an1 j > 1 4- C / ;ei credit on ais suu&cjij*ixuu ivr o aonths. ' We need just about that much mony right now in the next thirty days, r less, and it would be a very email < aatter to each one. Just go and do ] t and say sothing about it, because 3 i ire would not like for any one tn now that we had that much money at ne time from one source. It wouH j elp to ease up several strains an*l | ^ nablejne to make you a much better aper. Why not do this. It is a very < mall request and would be a very ] mall matter for each one, and < hen you would be sure not to miss 3 ny copy. A gentleman paid me tha 1 / i ighest compliment the other daj hat I have ever had. He said he liked ] o read The Herald and News because t seemed that we always tried to ; ay nice and pleasant things about eople, and never seemed to be in bad iumor. I trv to be pleasant and c<5lir- 1 i eous to all, and to treat the opinions \ >f others with that same respect tbat ] would like to have them treat me. 1 I f we could all do that this would be < , great deal better world. I know ' fall short frequently, but I try to ] o the best I can. Try to put yourself < 11 the other fellow's place in your 1 iealiags witfc him, and ask yourself * ow y&* woulti like to be treated if ^ positions were changed, and sometimes stand on ihe corner and watch yourself go fay. Now, try *to put yourself in my place, and see how nice it would be and how good you would fool if caf.h subscriber would just AtVi li. _ send along one dollar on his account, i and how easy it would be. Now, th!s is all confidential. 1 don't want you I to talk about it but go and do. E. H.
