I tl 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 HllhflPrln*lo? \X7 - - ' * ?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 be papers ready for distribution .t the proper time. We trust the lublic will bear tills in mind ami i lways send in tiieii coiumuri aiions i lot inter than l- o'clock every!* Tuesday. a A Beautiful W edding. . i ! A wedding of unusual beauty, t urgelj due to its simplicity was j oleninized in the Presbyterian < liurch on Wednesday evening, X >- a ember 22nd, when Miss Pauline 'ore became the wife of Mr. Geoige t tobert Pettigrew. t The church was simply but taste- i ally decorated with Southern snii- ! a.\, potted plants and white eh rye- t nthemums, green and white being ;i lie color scheme. While the well i illed church was awaiting the ppearance ? ! the bridal party Miss | eila Mae MeKenzie, neice of the room, delighted in r audience by v inging "My Guiding Star," "Love's s 'Id Sweet Song," and "Because," s eing accompanied on the piano by v Irs. F. McC. Curtis. Prompt- f / at six o'clock, Mrs Curtis > egan to play Mendelshon'S t redding marcli and the bridal par- a v entered i:i the following order: fiss Clarice Fore, sister of the a ride came down the left aisle,whilo iiss Flora Betliea came down the h ight; they met In front of the o rch and crossed to opposite s'des. l i like manner the ushers, Messrs. v [.

Her o naid of honor was unusually pretty t 11 a gown of white crepe de chine rlth a large black picture hat r ,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, Mr. and Mrs. D. Mclntyre, Mrs. Mary Gil>son and Miss Cordie Gibson. lletliea-l'arhniii.
