MUST BE PAID FOR.
Section 436, division 3, of thc
now postal laws and regulations,
issued Jan. 1, 1008, says:
"Unless subscriptions aro ex
pressly renewed after tho term
for which they aro paid, * *
they shall not bo counted in the
list of legitimate subscribers, and
copies mailed on account thereof
shall not bc accepted at the second
class postage rate of ono cent a
pound, but may be mailed at the
transient second-class postage rate
of one cent for each four ounces or
fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps
aflixed."
The Democrat lias heretofore
been very lenient with its sub
scribers. Some of them are sev
eral years behind, but tho paper is
Still being sent to them. This
policy will have to be changed,
however. We do not care to bave
to pay extra postage and paste
stamps on thc papers of delinquent
subscribers, besides being out of
the use of our money.
So the Democrat is going to be
run on thc cash in advance system
after Feb. L. The post office de
partment has extended the time to
April 1 to put tho new law into
operation. We believe it will be
better, however, to begin thc now
system at once while money is
more plontiful than it will proba
bly be. in the spring.
If there are any of subscribers
who cannot pay by Feb. 1, and
will notify us that they want to
continue thc Democrat and that
tliey will pay by April 1, wo will
send it on till that time. The gov
ernment, in order to prevent any
hardship to anybody, is giving
publishers three month, from Jan.
1 to April 1, to put the new sys
tem into operation. We will have
to begin to got our books in shape
to comply with the law, and will
on Feb. J, stop all papers which
have not been paid for, unless tho
subscribers ask us to extend tho
time tjll April 1. This will give
jil subscribers plenty of time to
PW/
All amounts due on subscription
before Sept. 1, 1007, are due the.
former publisher, S A. Brown,
and should bo paid to bim. All
since that time should bc paid to
Freeman & Caldwell, the present
publishers of tho Democrat.
One dollar will pay for one .year. ,
If you want tho Democrat this
year, send the dollar. If you do
not want it, pay up to date and
let us stop it at once,
WiU hftYQ to ff?nUo nflldavit ,,<
to tho government that wc ure not
violating the law, and our sub
scription books will bli subject *
?xamiuuUou by tho POVetmncnt
inspector!^
Wo do V.ot care to get into the
clutches of Uncle Sam for sending
out papers that have not been
paid for.
Wo have explained tho situa
tion, It \H now up to .von. If
there is not a 1008 ot 1909 on
your receipt, have it put there.
IMPROVE THE FACTORY
SCHOOLS.
The school iinprovment work as
witnessed by tho results in this
COU ?ty is a matter of pride and one
of tho best efforts which are now
being put Coward for tho education
and advancement of tho youth of
our land. In beautifying thc scboo'
grounds, introducing libraries and
in short, pushing tho work of
improving tho rural schools to the
front and all along tho line the
officers and members of the. as
sociation deserve tho backing of
every one. In Marlboro County
there has bern some Splendid work
done and wc say, good women, push
push it. alone. Von aro doing thu
best thin;; for tho country's wel
fare.
But turning from tho rural
t
schools we aro brought face to face
with tho factory schools. ?s thoro
being done tho samo things in thom
and is thoro an effort to advance
them such as is the case with the
rural schools? South Carolina
stands at tho hoad of tho manu
facturing states of tho south and no
eloment of hor population needs
more attention and oaro than the
factory laborers. They arc mon and
women like the balance of us and
they deserve tho same efforts
which are given to all fie other
elements of tho human society. But
we again say that tho matter of
improv ing tho f aetory schools needs
moro attention and this is very
evident when wo seo the class of
citizens which they are to day. Wo
do not mean to enst any refection
on them. Far from it. But we,
do say that they havn't the same
opportunity which others have and
for that reason they should be
more respected and admired for
the advancement which they have
and are making.
THE NEW DEMOCRAT.
We call thc attention today to
tho Democrat from a four page
paper to an eight pago paper. You
aro now getting considerably moro
news matter and all for 81.00 a
year. And we mean to keep the
Democrat right up to tho notch.
Not only this but the Democrat
will keep on improving and we
will give our subscribers thc very
best service that can possibly be
had,
Now a word to advertisers. You
will lind that advertising in thc
Democrat will bring results. This
paper goes on a cash in advance
system after thc first of February
and so those who take it arc good
customers. Let us have.your bus
iness and we will give satisfaction.
We extend our sympathy to our
neighbor Darlington in this time of
its double bereavement.

Tho Ann?',n(?inenf that the

Our new mayor goes into ofllce
with tho united support of the
people. Now lets all pull together
cut out the '.knockers'' and "moss"
backs, and make Bonnettsville the
banner City of tho Pee Dee sec- !
Lion. How about 8,000 inhabitants!
for 1910V they can bc had if we will I
rmly work to that end,,

Tho waterways meeting on last
Monday which was addressed by
Hon. J. A. Fox clearly demos"
trated the great good which this]
work would do. BonncttsviUc is|
heartily in sympathy with the(
movement and we trust that there
will be no trouble encountered in
raising the $'200 which is asked of.
tho citizens of this place in heLping
to carry on the crusade.

Sunday Ma.il.
Tho matter of increased mail fa-J
cilities for Bonncttsvillo and thftj
rronnding country on Sunday is
now being agitated, lt has long
been felt by some if not by nil
that Bonncttsvillo did not have all
tho mail facilities which she was
entitled to on this ono day out of
the week more especially than any
other.
At present tho only train bring
ing mail in here comes in from
Fayetteville on Sunday night at a
hout 7:30 o'clock- This train car
ries mail out in tho morning and
hence it is at night when it returns
and the people got what letters
and other mail comes from that
way.
Of courso tho principal way
from which tho people herc get
mail is from the south. On .Sun
day tho B and 0 is not operated
?and of courso thero is no mail from
the Seaboard. Only one train from
Sumter comes in that day arriving
here at noon and returning at o:4n
in thc afternoon. This train carries
only thc Slate in coming north and
is supposed to also carry tho News
and Courier but so far this is most
ly supposition. Going back south
on that day this train works mail.
Now the people here, or at least
some of thom, don't see why the
train which arrives hero at noon
on that day can't bring letters and
thc other mail. It works mail go
ing south and hence why not work
mail going north ? All will agree
that if this train could or would
carry mail it would prove to be a
great convenience. The people at e
accustomed to go by the postoffice
for their papers on Sunday and
hence why not get letters then too (
Some agitation along this line
has already been taken by tho
board of trade and it is probable
that there will be something else
doing in tho sann? lino before long.
It hus been suggested that a good
way would bc to get up a petition
signed by tho people here and a
long the route and forward it to
the proper authorities and ask that
malabo worked by this train on
Sunday when it is coming north
The convenience and other jiij
provemcnttt would be great and
many.
Jud?e Hudson's Spese?!.
The State Bar Association held
its annual meeting in Columbia
last week. Judge J. II. Hudson,
of this city was the President and
in speaking of Ins opening address
tho correspondent of the News find
Courier said :
"After tho meeting had been
called lo order the president, Hon.
Joshua II- Hudson, of Bennetts
villc, addressed the Association.
-Judge Hudson staled that he did
not have any set speech, and he
entertained the assemblage with
lOmiriis?onces that were very m neb
Ahjoy od
elle ?lioUO of the conditions \v.
thia >?late in the 50's, and of the
time when he was first admitted t<
the practice of law. He gave ar.
[interesting account of thc work
ings of tho various Courts in tl e
carly days when the Circuit Judges
composed tho Court of Appeals
after tho work in Circuit Court
was over. Later the present sys
tem was inaugurated and a special
set of Judges appointed for thc
Court of Appeals. Judge Hud
son spoke of tho manner of hold
ing Court in former days, all mem
bers of tho Bar being required to
bc in Court during the session,
thus giving a lesson in punctuality.
Judge Hudsongavoa number ol
pleasing anecdotes of the days
when he was a .young man, and
spoke in his usual pleasing and in
formal manner. The audience fol
lowed bim closely and gained much
information from the words of ad
vice to young members of tho Bar.
A Timely Verse.
The following is copied from
Lho Anglo-Saxon and reproduced
hor< for the benellt of tho Advo
cate's readers, and the citizens
generally :
After many dnluys and strenuous
talks
They've commenced to pave tin
bad sidewalks,
It's now up to tho mayor, who
never shirks,
He'll soon have his men on the
new water works, ,

Cotton Yields Per Acre
Thc value of commercial fertilizers has
been demonstrated over and over again by
both government and private comparative
tests. We stand ready to demonstrate to
you at any time that thc surest way to "in
crease your yields per acre" is to usc
VirgiMa-Carotaa
Fertilizers
Hon. R. J. Redding, former Director of thcGcor*
gia Exp. Station, is authority for thc statement that
"experiments made at this station show that well
balanced commercial fertilizer applied to ono aero
of land, and well cultivated, may he reasonably ex
pected to produce an increase ol yield of seed
cotton. Al thc present price of colton this would
mean a large extra profit (for both lint and seed),
af ter deducting thc price for fertilizer."
You'll find reports of many other comparative
tests, together With much valuable information con
cerning land culture in thc new Virginia-Carolina
Year Hook or Almanac. Ask you local fertilizer
dealer for a copy-or we'll send you ono
free, if you write our nearest talcs office.
