However, the business office has decided that it is the Ij! quickest way to reach the largest number pf subscribers to £ this paper. / .*• * . • - - - . Y Little or no effort has been made since 1920—during the 4- period of “hard times”—to collect the amoiirts due for sub- .j. scriptions. The editor realized that crops w&ie poor and the prices received inadequate. For that reason, we now have £ quite a number of subscribers on our bO'ks who are in arrears. % For the first time in three yedrs, the fatmers of Barnwell A - County have made a pretty fair cotton crop and so far the prices X have been satisfactory, with the outlook good for even higher prices. They naturally have more money to spend and are better able to take care of these little accounts. Feeling sure that they appreciate our leniency in the past, we are going to ask every delinquent subscriber to make an effort to square accounts with The People this Fall. While individually the amounts due are small, collectively they total •everal hundred dollar*. It takes money to publ n« are-an important part \ iah a new*pai of the receip 1 id th e sun.
