The editor of this paper has been seri ously considering for some time the ad visability of raising the subscription price of The Herald. We do not want to dc this, but our expenses are much highei than they were a year or two ago. Everything has advanced in price, and it costs much more for living and office expenses, Therefore, it is clear that we must find some way to increase our income. It is true that we are doing more business than , ever, but we are not getting enough foi our work. Everything else has gone up in price except the price of printing. Still we do not want to raise the subscription price of the paper. One dollar * is a convenient price for a weekly paper, and is about all some of them are worth. We Deneve our paper is worm mure, uut that's neither here nor there; we do not want to increase the price. So we have adopted this solution of the question: A majority of our patrons now pay us cash in advance for their* subscriptions; in fact, most of our subscribers do so, so igSBfe. ' ' hereafter we will continue the one dollar rate to those who pay in advance, and to those who do not pay in advance the rate will be $1.50 a year. This is entirely > fair, for there is no justice in charging as much for cash in advance as for credit subscriptions. So bear in mind, that if you want The Herald on credit it will cost you $1.50 a year. For cash in advance the price will remain one dollar. The country would go Democratic in short order if Bryan, Hill, Tillman, and a few others joined the Republican party. * * If the personnel of the South Carolina legislature does not improve, the people will vote for centennial sessions instead of biennial next time. # * It looks like Senator Tillman is going to join the ranks of the anti-dispensarj people. If he does, they'll get whipped Ii sure. The people are doing just the op posite from the Senators wishes now. *** Senator Tillman lives in a flower yarc a little out of Trenton. He is surrounded by every kind of fruit and flower in the catalogue, and owns a splendid farm well stocked?Edgefield Chronicle. Of course the Senator didn't have al] this before he became governor and United States Senator. And yet some people say there is no money in politics, But maybe they are not so thrifty as Senator Tillman. ** . Col. E. H. Aull, editor of theNewberrj Herald and News, announced last week that he was a private citizen, as the terms of members of the general assembly begin on Monday following the general election. Col. Aull was a member of the house of representatives for two years, and Newberry never had a better representative. He did more than any man they've ever sent from that county, and it is only justice to him to say so. & *** Brother DeCamp, of the Gaffnev Ledger, realizes that the fight for sobriety in that county is not ended by voting out the dispensary, and he is devoting the columns of his newspaper to the cause of having the law against shipping liquor ginto his town enforced. This week he calls on the authorities of the law to station an officer at the depot to seize all liquor that is shipped in. DeCamp is a brave, honest fellow, untiring his efforts J when his support is enlisted. He will find, however, that he is up against a nara proposition in endeavoring to create a dry town with dispensaries in the adjoining counties. "We wish him well in the good work, but he has the fight of his life on his hands. * A. D. Webster, the white Republican postmaster at Orangeburg, has notified the Orangeburg Patriot that certain a & yertisements in that paper must be stricken out in order to conform to the postal laws. The advertisement was foi an Orangeburg firm, and related to a stove to be given away on December 1st The ad. referred to had been running ^ nearly three months, but the postmastei only found out it was in violation of the postal laws after The Patriot had begur to criticise him for his political associa tion with negroes. Over in that district a negro preacher ran for congress against Lever, the Democratic nominee, anc Webster had a great deal to do with the V negroes during the campaign. It is ven plain that the postmaster is seeking re venge against the newspaper for criticism of his political course. Parks now seems to have his "dander" up, and if he don'l make it unpleasant for Webster we shai > be surprised. And he ought to. Nc white man who hobnobs with negroes should receive any courtesy or socia! amenities from decent white people. H< is an enemy to Southern civilization. Rl.?' Vs. ?v ?> - " 4* f*V-. .. ... . ... ,4. The courts in Pennsylvania have decided that insurance cannot be collected . on the life of a person in case he is legally put to death. This decision is not likely . to affect the insurance business in South Carolina, for you see, down here, nobody . expects to be hung.

Jordan returned home Monday night from a visit to relatives at j Johnston. r A few of the young folks frcm this vi* cinity attended a "tacky party" at the home of Rev. S. P. Chisolm, of Colston, on last Wednesday evening. Quite a number of young folks were there "all dressed up" in such gay attire. Miss Chisolm entertains well, being ably assisted by Rev. and Mrs. Chisolm and her brother. The evening was one of mirth from start to finish. Supper was first served in accordance with the name of the party, followed by a delightful course of dainty refreshments, served in proper style. Prizes were awarded to MissGussie Jennings and Mr. Henry McMillan for the best rigging. The crowd broke about 11:30 to wend their way home under the light of the ? moon, some of them getting lost, but still . wishing for another party at Miss ChisI olm's.

One interesting. feature is the debating society. Subject for Friday: "Resolved, That the negro should be given a home in our State." Mr. J. W. Hill attended the carnival in Augusta last week. Cane grinding is going on at all the mills in the vicinity. A negro went to the house of Mr. Milledge Smith, who lives near Ninety-Six, in Greenwood county, last Monday, and shot at Mr. Smith's daughter twice.* The young lady was at home alone and seeing i the negro approaching, she became , frightened and started to run to the field where her brothers were at work. The negro called to her to stop and fired at , her twice. The brothers rushed to the house but the brute was gone. Later a negro said to be the man was arrested and J lodged in Greenwood jail. A lynching \ was averted by the earnest efforts of lead ing citizens. THOUSANDS CURED. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve has cured 1 thousands of piles.

Leopard Escaped eto yorK. Policeman ^ / - w * w * r 1 , ?3/>or it cur it jumpea ar Him From a Hturh. An Exciting Midnight Chart In Bronx VarK. ffdtv forli City ? Find Gun J art In Tim*. Ten policemen and a squad of keepers bad a leopard bunt In Bronx park, New York, between midnight and 3 o'clock one night recently. They bagged the game they were looking for. 11 thej hadn't It is entirely likely that th? leopard would have bagged a policeman. The quarry was an eight fool THE CBOTJCHXXG LEOPAED LEAPED FOB HDL snow leopard taken to the zoological park recently from the Himalayan mountains. Bicycle Policeman Walter Kaine fired Just in the nick of time. If he had pulled the trigger a second or two later he would have been torn to pieces by the infuriated leopard. The leopard was called Prince. He was one of three from the Himalayas. They were said to be the only specimens of the snow leopard in this country and were valued at $800 each. Their habitat is in the lofty snow clad mountains, and one is rarely below an elevation of 0,000 feet Ever since their arrival they have been a* center of attraction. Because snow leopards must have plenty of cool air they had more liberties than most of the other animals at the zoo.' They were permitted to stay in *an outer cage in the lion .house at night. Prince measured eight feet from tip to tip and was two and a half feet high. The animals were fed through a skylight in the roof of the cage. This 6kyllght had been left unfastened, and it was through this that Prince made his escape. Night Watchman Veldern discovered that the big leopard was missing about 11 o'clock and at once gave the alarm. As soon as the animal keepers arrived on the scene they summoned the police. Ten policemen were soon on the ground. For nearly an hour they scouted around in the bushes* in the notrrVi Kr?T-hru~u^ nf thA lintl llOTlSe. The U UV4 U V ? ?' ? ? ? ? ? keepers went In the lead, with torches. It was decided that there was no hope of recapturing the big leopard and that he must be shot on sight Bicycle Policeman Kaine is a crack shot, and for that reason the zoo's ten gauge repeating shotgun was handed to liim. Kaine left the others and walked over to a clump of dwarf trees Just opposite the cage from which the snow leopard had escaped. Besides the shotgun he carried a long pole. With this he poked in the foliage. Presently he heard a low growl. Then there was another growl louder than the first He called out to the others to come to his assistance, but his call was too late. He had Just dropped the pole and made ready to take a quick shot when his eye caught a glimpse of a crouching figure in the darkness moving with cat-like stealth toward him. Kaine says he had Just seen two eyes that glittered like balls of fire in the darkness when the crouching leopard made its leap for him-. He knew he had no time to lose in taking aim, and so he clapped the gun to his shoulder and fired at the leopard in midair. The load of buckshot struck it in the neck and severed the Jugular vein. Knlne had inmoed aside as soon as he fired, but the animal was dead when It struck the ground. The skin of the leopard will be stuffed and mounted In the Natural History museum.
