The People desires to call several important facts to the attention of its subscribers: 1. Since January 1st, 1916, the price of all print paper, including newspaper, has advanced in the neigh borhood of 100 per cent. '1 (PoWcH AdverttaemehTr^^— 1 p— has made marked A Card from Mr. Cole. I desire to take thia mean* of thank ing my friend* throughout the coun- ty^for their support in the third pri mary htld last week Under the rul ing of the executive committee my opponent was declared the nominee by a majority of two votea; atill when we conaider the manner in which the re- ault of the election waa declared I do not think either my frienda or I ahould feel that 1 was fairly defeated by a majority of the Democrat* entitled to Vote in primary 1 waa urged by some to file my pro- teat, but after aerioua consideration of the matter I decided that I would ac cept the declaration of the election aa made by the executive committee. The only redreaa I could have would be to go before the State executive committee and secure a fourth pri mary The condition of my health and the demands upon my time by my busineas, at thia the busiest season of the year, are such that 1 could not in justice to myself devote the time nec easary to making a fourth primary should I be successful in making my protest. It was with great reluctance that 1 reached this decision, especially be cause of the vital and fundamental principle involved The tact that one voting predinct was debarred from participation'm theuse of failure to provide proper machin ery, to my mind should have been full and sufficient reason for withholding a declaration of the result. While 1 feel that had the men on the border been allowed to vote the result would have been different, still, in justice to my health and business interests, 1 must bow to the will of the Democratic party as expressed by the action of the executive committee, feeling sure that at some future date the Democrats id' Barnwell County will express in no uncertain terms their disapproval of the steam roller methods applied t.> me.

To the last drop ^MAXWELL « HOUSE COFFEE Is Perfect Ask Your Grocer n some colors being almost unobtainable at any price: ~~“ 3. Type metal has advanced about 50 per cent. 4. Labor has advanced 25 per cent. 5. In looking over our subscriptfon list, we find that several hundred of our friends are now in arrears, some only one year, others two years, while a few owe for sev eral years. 6. During the dull summer months, when money was scarce with, our Vubscribersj no attempt was made to collect these past due accounts. 7. Cotton is now bringing the best price in years— between 15 and 16 cents a pound at this writing—and there is no good reason under the sun why our friends should not pay us every cent due. 8. At the present prices for paper, ink and labor, The People cannot guarantee to maintain for any con siderable length of time the present rate of $1.00 a year in advance or $1.25 on time. In fact, it is our intention to put the paper on a strictly cash-in-advance basis and unless prices return to normal, it will be absolutely nec essary to increase the subscription price. However, we will give our subscribers due notice of any advance and allow them to renew at the present rate. Now, in consideration of the above statement of facts, we are going to ask each and every one of our friends who is in arrears to let us have the small amount due AT ONCE. We cannot continue to carry their ac counts on our books indefinitely and pay cash for the ma terial that goes into the paper each week. The amount charged for the paper is very low—in fact, there are only three :i£!'in^injr2fafuijrg in thp that still have the dollar rate—and it is a poor man' indeed who cannot pay so small ajdebt. . . Pn the address label on, your paper will be found the date to which your subscription was paid. For instance, “Jan. 16“ means that your subscription expired January 1, 1916, and you yould, therefore, owe for one year to January 1, 1917. As we pointed out above, there is no reason why any subscriber should fail to pay his subscription dues this Fall, with cotton bringing record-breaking prices. We ask as a special favor that you give this matter your attention NOW. Send us the money, check or money order for past-due account and your renewal TODAY.

When his wife aroused him with the whispered assertion that “there are burglars in the house.” he replied with a yawn, “Let them go— they can’t find anything. Our money is in the bank.” He was that worried. His pocketbook contained nothing but a bunch of blank checks and a little loose change; nothing to lose. It pays to have a bank account in a good re liable bank for the feeling of safety inspired, to say nothing of the many conveniences and advantages. Bank of Western Carolina HXi'St . Barnwell, S.
