Tlie Herald is mailing out state- !
ments to every subscriber whose 1 _
subscription is due or past due, and | *
we hope that everyone who re- .
ceives a notice will respond prompt- J j1.
ly and not compel us to send out ' r
a second notice reminding them ^
of their arrears. It is expensive "
and laborious work to mail out *(
statements to more that 2,00(1 f':
persons, and if everyone of our {'
friends realized just what it costs "
us in postage and labor to send "
&tch suhscribt r a notice they would J'1
spend promptly. Now friends let
Is have your subscription, and
ntereby assist us in our efforts t-.> ni
give you one of the best weekly
papers lu the State. ^
The public roads in Dillon county
are in a deplorable condition and/ t
the county commissioners shoultjf v
urge the road overseers to call oyft n
every person liable to road dufty j
and repair such places that are /j0\v v
impassable. It is a false /idea a
that the recent bond issu/, f()r f
feood roads is to be used in yfepair- t
Ing the roads. 1 he money/ from
this bond issue is to be /USed in c
building permanent roads /and the
enorgles of the county co^f)n)ifudon *
ers and the chain gang are being
used in this direction. / n Ss the
purpose of the county Commissioners
to extend the worfcj cf pei ma-,
nent road building untlj every road j
radiating from the oofo. t house s
a permanent highwa.v> hence it is
Impossible just at this / time to u?e
the chain gang for repiVjr WOrk. In !
the meantime, until tht-v permanent i
highways are extended through his
flection, it is the duty o^f the road
- -
overseer to keep his joint of road
in as good condition as the limited j
means at his command will permit.
But the fact that J 100,000 is being
cpent on the public highways does
not relieve the road overseer from
the duty of keeping the roads in
repair. In many sections of the
county the roads and bridges are |
in such bad condition that travel
is exceedingly difficult as well as
dangerous.
Now, friends, lend us a helping
hand by sending in your past due
subscription, a renewal or a new

?e are not asKing
for chairity or help that we do
not deserve. If there is a reader
on The Herald's list who thinks
they do not get $1.50 worth of
weekly newspaper out of the 52 isBUes
that comes to them every 12
months we don't want them to take
The Herald any longer. We know
that we are giving one of the largest
weekly newspapers in the State
and that it is worth every cent we
ask for it. Neither is The Herald
a money making institution. Kvery
dollar The Herald has ever made
has gone back into improvements
until now we have one of the best
equipped weekly newspaper offices
in the State. But we have no desire
to stop here. We have no ambition
to accumulate riches nor fill
the office of president. Our only
ambition in life is to make The
lleialu what it ought to be?one of
the best w?rsly newspapers that ever
came from a printing pr? ss
and we cannot do this without your ,
aid. To be truly representative of
the county in which it is published ,
The Herald must not only measure ,
up to. in must surpass, any other
weekly w wspeper published in 'he ,
So.ilh Now thiit we have outlined ,
jnr policy, will you do your pari
in hleping us to live up to it ? ,
It is seldom that u week ever '
lasses unless some one rushes in- '
o The Herald office just about tlx*
inie we are going to press and '
lands us a long communication for
lublication in tbe next day's issue,
due of our weaknesses is a fondness (
or accommodating people; notbing 1
jives us more pleasure than to ex- I
end an accommodation whenever '
be opportunit) presents itself and 1
t is just as embarrassing to us to '
tave to refuse to publish a com- '
nunicaticn at tlie last moment as '
is it is to tbe person offering us i
lie communication for publication. 1
dut our readers must be taken in-'*
o consideration and we do not feel
hat we would l?e doing nearly ??.- *
Ion other persons justice by sending >
lieni The Herald a day later than *
t is due in order to accommodate
>nl> one person. And that is just *
vhat it means. After tbe forms :
lave been made ready for the press i
nd the paiieis are ready to bo 1 c
minted it would mean a loss of t
everal hours to accept a half col- i
mm communication and then be i
onipelh'd to make up the forms a i
econd lime* in order to be able
o provide room for the article. It r
akes just a certain number of i
(ours to print, fold and nrtil the
tapers and the forms are always i
icld open until tbe la>i minute, but
nee tbe forms are closed it is im ;
tossible to open theni and tlien m-i .i

A wedding of unusual beauty, t

,nd carried white carnations and v
ems, while the ribbon girls were i
leautlfully clad in pure white.
The bride is the oldest daughter a
?r Juage ana Airs. j. 1%. rorc anu n
las many friends who are rejoic- 1
ng over the fact that she will still c
ive in Dillon, where she has spent |
ler girlhood days and where she 1
s so much beloved. The
?room, a promising young attorney i
it law, has been in Dillon just a 1
ittle more than a year, but during <
:hls time he has won many cases? 1
:hls being his bigger4, one- -and t
made many friends.
The popularity of the couple is |
ihown by the numerous and beautiful
presents, of silver, cut, glass,
I t
china, brass and furniture received
on ttiis occasion.
The out-of-town guests were
Miss Leila Mae McKenzie, Mrs. J.
S. McKenzie, Mr. J. A. I'ettigrew,
