Thursday, December 2,1915. p> One negro kills two white men in Marlboro and two white men kill each other in Bamberg, and the biggj gest criminal docket at Newberry in |? years.?Newberry Herald and News. You stand corrected, esteemed E&? . contemporary. The double tragedy referred to did not occur in Bamp berg. But it is true that a wave of * homicides seems to be sweeping the fe State. (Every now and then we notice that p some South Carolina newspaper ; / throws off its old dress,. and comes fc-' / out in a new and better one. ^One of the latest to show great improvement is the Saluda Standard. Though published in a small town, the Standp';. ard is a good newspaper, and is be|\\ xing handsomely patronized by the RJ .merchants of Saluda. !?' The wray the newspapers get "took in" is a, marvel. That fellow, Dr. Il'v... i Haiselden, who let a child die because it was deformed, is gett'ng the \ ' best line of free advertising we ever Hfe-- ' heard of, with one or two exceptions. " Nobody ever heard of him before, but now, with the kind assistance of the | Hjp . newspapers, he will, no doubt, soon land a nice job at a fat salary in some M university. ' Buy your Christmas goods and gifts early. By waiting until just a day or two be. ore Christmas, you contribute to the woes of the merchants, and incidentally you will probably fail to find just what you. want, for - you must realize that Christmas comes but once a year and that the average merchant tries to buy just what he will dispose of and no more. Read The Herald's advertisements and see what the Bambehrg merchants have. I Some 01 tDe oretnren 01 me press have been offering some most excellent advice to the president on the occasion of his approaching marriage. No doubt the president ought to accept it. One South Carolina editor says the president should net have a wedding at all, but just go to the preacher and get married, or something to that effect. It does v vreally seem that even a president may he allowed to do as he pleases :n the matter-of getting married. Mr. W. J. Bryan refused to give a '"copy of his Greenwood speech to the " - ' - II 4 ttrn f Green wood index Decause mat ucnDpaper dared to criticise bis campaign against the president's navy and army extension programme. We hope Mr. Bryan is enjoying his speech-making. As he is said^ to be drawing something like $300 per nay for it, we believe that he is enjoying it. Mr. Bryan used to be a mighty > big man; maybe he is still big, but the way it looks at this distance is that he is making a campaign for the next presidential nomination, and is a getting from 50 cents to a dollar per for telling the people about himself. The Herald's newspaper contest ?j? w*ill come to a ciose oaiurua.} msm. We have enjoyed the contest immensely, and we extend our thanks to each and every one of the ladies. Most of the readers of this newspaper are doubtless aware of the fact that if a newspaper contest is run honestly, there is no money made, for by the time the prizes are paid for and commissions paid, the newspaper's share is somewhat limited, and The Herald's reason for this contest was to induce its many subscribers in arrears to get even with the world and pay up in advance so that we would not have to drop any of them. We have used our every effort to give ^each one of the contestants every fairness due them, and whoever wins P" the prizes, you may rest assured they fairly won them. J "Place Responsibility for Railroad Wreck," says a headline. - But we predict that the placing of the responsibility will be the last of it, for we cannot now recall a single case where anything was ever done in a case like this. The Abbeville Medium takes it* i - ?~ 1? * nol- fnr nrt' mercnanis severeij iu uon. ivi advertising, and advises its readers if they cannot find what they warn at the stores that advertise to go to Anderson or somewhere else to get it. While it is a matter to be regretted that some home merchants do not sufficiently appreciate home patronage to advertise for it, we would not go so far as tQ give this advice. But undoubtedly the best way to keer patronage at home is to tell the people what you have, and tell them why it is to their advantage to trade with the home merchant. We can certainly think of no better way to let the people know what the merchants have than by using space in the local newspaper. ? ( We were recently visited by two subscribers. One of them was pretty angry because we had mailed him a t statement for next ? year's subscrip- S tion. Said he had always paid his debts, and that we ought to have knnwn hpttpr than to have doubted t that he would pay. The other one * was about a year or so in arrears, because we thought that we were conferring a real favor by sending the _ paper on, as nd one had much money | with which to pay up last year. He J said that some one else had paid his subscription for a year, and that we = ought to have stopped it when the J time was out, because he did riot J j want it any longer. The fellow who started the saying about being between the devil and the deep blue sea was evidently a newspaper man. Running a newspaper and trying to please several hundred people is a delight- ' fully charming job. c ? We do not know whether it is appreciated or not, but there is one feature about The Herald that is'not found in a great many other news- J papers, either daily or weekly, and that is the manner in which the read- ^ ing matter is'"made up" in the pa-! per. When the reader opens The: Herald he finds that the reading mat-, i ter is all together on a page, and notj _ mixed in wi|h the advertising. \\ c\ do not belieVe it is giving the sub- " scriber a fair deal to mix up the news / f with advertisements. A great*many;; newspapers do this, because by do-! | ing so they can get a higher rate'fo! U the advertising. The Herald turns j I down a great deal of advertising.> every year because the advertiser in- J f sists upon what in newspaper circles !| is known as "position," that is the' ; advertisement must be followed by; ' or next to reading, matter. If thei newspaper happens to have a great: many such advertisements, it be omes! necessary, in order to give the po-' sition, to hash the reading matter i up, and run it around the ads. Only j a few days ago we returned unsigned; a contract for a large amount ot space j because we would not consent to thus! * I dispose our news matter. i Neither Is He Green. i i * * ? i That Bamberg county farmer whoj is growing blue cotton seems to be j not at all blue over the prospects.? j Spartanburg Journal.
