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*

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!
