NOTICE OF INCREASE IN
RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION
Advance of 606 Per Ceat. ia Coat of Newsprint Makes New Price
Imperative.—Affective Adler October 15th.
In 1914 the cost of white newsprint paper was quoted at 2\
cents per pound in ton lots; a recent quotation on the same quan
tity was 16 cents—an increase of about 600 per cent, in the last
six years. At that time the subscription price of South Carolina
weeklies ranged from $1 to $1.50 per year. With the exception of
the two Barnwell papers and possibly one of two others, the price
was raised months ago to $2 and in many instances to $2.50 a year.
For two years the two local papers have continued to supply sub
scribers at $1.50—and they hava lost money on every subscription.
The People finds it impossible to continue at the old rate and ex
ist, and notice is hereby given that, beginning October 15th, 1920,
the rate will be $2.00 per year, strictly in advance. We can only
make this rate by requiring subscribers to pay in advance, and on
that date the names of all delinquents will be dropped from our
mailing list
Realizing that many of our readers will not have any ready caah
until they market their cotton, we have decided not to put the new
rate into effect until October 16th—allowing them two months in
which to take advantage of the present rate of $1.90 a year. With
cotton and other farm products telling at three or four times aa
much aa they did a few years ago, we feel sure that our auborribers
will cheerfully pey the smell advance that s|BUs the difference be
tween sunrees and failure.

LEWIS M. AYER (later. General,
and Congressman of the “Confedera

*
young and fresh from college, but
soon retired to his farm, being a plan
ter of wealth, and by his own choice.
He was bright, quite intellectural, but
once remarked that when in college
he liked better to “play the fiddle”
than to get ha|*d lessons. When a
young Christian, he grew cold and
careless, but was graciously revived
afterwards, became a fsaptiat minister
of prominence, taught ably in Ander
son, S. C., and was pastor of import
ant churches. He published a book
on “Infant Balvation,” and wrote arti
cles for the papers and magazines of
his times. Not long before he died he

the land. In the summer of 1818, I
heard him in a ringing speech at
Barnwell, when Seymour and Blair
were candidates for President and
Vice-President. Gen. Wade Hampton
and Dr. Ben Lawton spoke on the
same occasion. Of course, the Dem
ocrats were defeated; and so, Radical
rule and carpet bag cruelty and op
pression persisted for years after
wards. The tyranny was not over
turned till 1876, when the same heroic
Hampton with Youmans, Hagood,
Connor and others, 'achieved the
proud return of “home-rule,” through
the irreaistible courage and determi
nation of the “Red Shirts” and their
allies.

fluency and his familiarity with law
are widely known and extolled. He
served faithfully on the Bench also.
His legal reputation blossomed just
after the War of ’61-’65. 1 heard him
make a striking, clear-cut speech be
fore the jury in defence of a homicide
in the summer of 1868. COL. FIN
LEY, of Aiken, was his very able as
sistant in this case. JUDGE PLATT
was presiding, and the Court was held
in the Presbyterian Church edifice.
The Court House had been burnt by
Sherman’s Army, Feb.,- 1866. A
thunderstorm raged during Col. Fin
lay’s speech. The jury brought in a
verdict of “Not Guilty,” and the pris
oner went free. On September 12th,
of that yaar, the writer bdeame 21;
and ia November cast his first ballot.
