IMPORTANT NOTICE.
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.

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

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.

, 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.

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.
