For several months we have failed to keep our mailing list credited up as it should be. In fact, we have neglected our subscription list. At last we have been able to correct it up to date. We have reset it entirely. In view of this delay and neglect we have several hundred suburVm V>?vp lpt. their subscriD iSVUUVltJ TT UV %r -wv x tions expire. We have neglected to notify them of the date of expiration. We ask you now to examine the date on the label opposite your name. If there is error we will be pleased to correct it if you will call our attention to it. It is very probable that we have made some mistakes. It would be remarkable if we have not. In the next few days we will mail a statemnt to all who are in arrears. We must get again on the cash in advance system. We can not operate the paper in any other way with any degree of satisfaction to ourselves or to our subscribers. We want all of you to remain in the family and we need a few more members. But to do so you must be in good standing. That means you must pay up. The management has also come to the conclusion in view of the high price of everything that the price of subscription must go to $2.00 per year. We had hoped that maybe prices would settle again to normal and we could print the paper at $1.50 but instead everything is still soaring. But we are going to give every one the opportunity to get another year at the old price. So the increase will be put into effect on the first day of September, and if you want to do so you may pay another year at $1.50 it matters not what your date now is. But after the first day of September of this good yaar The Herald and News will be $2 the year. Come right along now and take advantage of this opportunity to save fifty cents. We are making a newspaper now, and our purpose is to make it better with every issue, but it takes labor and paper and ink and other things and all of tfcoeo cost monev.": We want you to remain with us, and we know that you want to pay us enough so that we may meet the expenses of the office and have a little over, and that you will be glad to pay the additional price for a real newspaper. This offer gives you six weks in which to square your account with us and get The Herald and News, that good old paper, for an entire year still at the old price of $1.50, which has always been too cheap. - - * ? 1 i Better attend to tms at once ana not wait until it is too late. Examine the label on your paper and see how the matter stands with you and us. A WORTH WHILE MEMORIAL. A friend sends us a copy of a Sumter paper in which appears the proposition to build a park as a memorial to the soldiers of the world war. The details of the proposition are set forth, but the main point of interest to us is, and the suggestion of the friend who sends the paper, would it not be a capital idea to let the memorial that Newberry has been talking about take the shape ot a park. Every one who has read The Her. aid and News for the past 20 years or more is familiar with the many things we have said and tried to do to get a park in Newberry, but so far all our efforts have failed. We had the thing almost done at one time, and we began to feel that we were going to get the park. We would be glad to see a real park in Newberry, and the town should have it, and it could be build very easily if there was a little Cooperation and a united effort in that direction. But somehow, as much as we would like to see a park, and as much as we need a park, and as much good as such a thing would do for the people of the town, we are not so sure that we are ready to advocate a part as a fitting memorial to our boys whc engaged in the world war. Efforts are being made to erect z "building in Columbia by the Stat* as a fitting memorial, and it is to b< made artistic and to be used simplj and purely as a memorial and not tc be utilized for anything else, in othei words, the utilitarian idea is to b< minimized. As we understand it th< - f _!-? _ i :i j State is appropriating ior mis ounu ing ?100,000 and the remainder o: $500,000 is to be raised by individu al effort and subscription. That i: all right, but we want Newberry t< have her own memorial, and this wil not prevent us from contributing t< I . and helping in the erection of the i State memorial. j Our suggestion for the Newberry !ulcn u hniltlinf. and to i iUVlliVI. JMA AkT ~ 07 !make of the building a library, and jat the same time a place where the j records of the men who took part in jthe struggle could be kept, and it i seems to us that if we could get the j county to turn over for that purpose |the old court house building no more ! suitable place, and no more suitable (building could be found, and the cost ^, of overhauling and making suitable 11 for such purposes would not be so ! | great, and that money could be raised by subscription from those ;|who wanted to have part in such a 10..-V/1/4 / onco This mfltfpr of making ' |a public library out of this building "jwas discussed some years ago. The three rooms in the rear could be 1 made into one long room for the .library, and the two rooms in the iji'ront could be utilized for the records and rest rooms for the men and . the women, and the upstairs could be used for a hall and for public gatherings of all kinds, and with some work the building could be made ideal for the purposes here named, and at the jSame time be a memorial for the boys who went over and for those who remained at home. The details could be worked out by the proper authorities, and we do not believe ithat any county would have a better or more substantial memorial than ! could be made of this building, and then we would have a county library - * it /\ i* |and a good public nan. ui course, i there would have to be some repair work done and some changes in the building to make it convenient and comfortable, but this is a grand old j building and substantially erected. I There are two large vaults in the two ; front rooms which would be well 'adapted for the safe keeping of any | records, and with provision for a competent librarian and keeper of ithe place it would be a great edurat' ? ?/v-f +V10 ontirp rmin I OI" 1UI llic ycujut uj. uiv ty as well as a convenient resting place. What do you think about the ;proposition? Of course, there will ibe those who will oppose it, we know. : There were some, years ago, who wanted to pull the building down, ibut we helped to save it then and we iwant now to help make it one of the ! most useful institutions of the town 'and county. j We want the people who are interested in building a memorial, and all ' * -1 ^" + ? +V?ir\lr oVlAllt tlllO | OX US SIIUUIU UC, iu uium uuvuv vu.x isort of worth while memorial, and if jthere be those who oppose it let us hear form them, and if there be those who favor the plan here suggested let us hear ^rom them. The Herald and News acknowledges receipt of a home coming souvenir edition of the Jacksonian giving a history of the 81st division. The ;copy came with the compliments of 1 Arthur C. Ward, and he has our 1 thanks for the same. We shall read 1 it and file it away witn otner valuable historic papers. Had you noticed that we are printing a mighty good and newsy letter from the good town of Whitmire ever !week now? Read it and see what we i,say is true. And our Prosperity correspondent is walking about with the inews from that prosperous little city. ^We want a good correspondent at jPomaria and Little Mountain and Chappells and Silverstreet and then we will be covering the news of the county in good shape. We'll get 'em before long. | We won our bet on the judgeship. jYou will recall that we stated about two weeks ago that our friend "Hit" Watkins of Anderson would pull down the plum, and sure enough he did. Here's our best wishes to you, J Judge H. H. Watkins. ! In the same connection we said he ! would temper mercy with justice. The words were transposed but true all the same. What we were trying | to say is that he would temper justice I with mercy, but any way you put it ; | is all right. | Watkins is a fine fellow all right, ; and has a mighty fine little wife, if ? he wi" . mit us to put it that way. [ We t .ank Congressman Dominick for being thoughtful in sending us a I;telegram announcing the appointJment, but it came just a little after ' 1 J HI nYi/Jm7 o-f. . | we Xlctu gone IV VII munuoj M.J. jternoon. \ | If the people who live in homes ir " the city would just exercise a little >. civic pride and have the grass on the | sidewalks that run along in front ol 1 their own property kept down, it 'Iwould add a great deal to the civic ^improvement of the city, and would fjcost each one a very small amount ) nf mnnpv or enertrv. But vou say r you pay your tax and the city shoulc J have it done. You should remembei - that the city has nearly a hundrer - miles of street, and with the smal ^force and the meagre income whicl; - you furnish it, is impossible to keer s all the streets clean and as the^ > should be. We knew a town once 1 where they had no street force at all ; als, arid it was the cleanest arul best1 kept city we ever saw. As clean as a j - pin. as they saying is. Public senti-: i ment required of each home owner; [ or dweller, that he keep his own i premises and the streets and sidei walks along his property in proper condition, and it was so kept. If all of us would but sweep the paved j sidewalk in front of our own places j of business, even once a day, it would l add greatly to the beauty and cleanli- j 'ness of the city. Just a little civic! ! pride is what we need, and not expect i >|the city to do everything, because we j ' + /-V nov Q mito ftf tsv ! ! Happen CV y c* UUI.V. Vi H.?. COTTON ASSOCIATION TO !'
