Our school has begun its winter term with -Prof. G. R. Mayfield in charge. Prof. Mayfield taught the writer his A, B, Cs about thirty years ago and it seems very familiar to see him in the schoolroom again. We are getting very anxious to see our mail on Pickens route 6 made daily instead of three times a week. Well, Mr. Editor, if you will come some night the writer will carry you 'possum hunting, and I am sure if we don't get a 'possum we will get a skunk. A FARMER. (The editor would like the best in the world to go 'possum hunting with you, but he doesn't care for any skunks this winter, thank you. -ED.)

CEDRIC, Good News it The Sentinel is glad to announce that ihas secured a newspaper feature which will be enjoyed by every one of its .suqecribers who like to read good stories. We have secured the rights to publish ."K,'' one of the most intensely interesting and mystifying stories ever written by Mary Roberts Rinehart, the highest paid woman writer in the world' This story was published in the Satur dlay Evening Post this year and proved so i.mmensely popular that The Sentinel decided to get it for its readers. We consider ourselves fortunate in securmng this remarkable story for you and know you will appreciate it. '"' is an un usual title for a story, but this is also an unusual story'. T'he first chapters will be published soon. Watch for it. We have also secured another feature wvhich will prove of great piensure and interest to our lady readers. Beginning next week we will print each week until Christmas articles telling how to make useful and appropriate Christmas gifts. The articies will be illustrated and are suggestions for pretty things for young ladies to give their beaus, girl friends andl grandmother, etc. Every one of the gifts can be easily made and will greatly aid you in solving the Chrismas gift problem. Watch for it next week. These are only two of the many fea tures, we give our subscribers, besides printing more general, state andl Pick ens county news than any other pap~er.

The Newspaper Situation The South Carolina Press Association, at a meeting held in Columbia Friday morning, October 27, decided to issue the following statement: "To the Advertising Patrons and Read ers of Newspapers in South Carolina: "The Press Association of this state wishes to bring to the attention of the advertising patrons, readers and friends of the press the serious situation con fronting the publishers at this time and point out some facts thatwe feel should be communicated to you in our attempt to meet conditions that have been thrust upon us. We do this after giving the matter careful consideration, and find ing ourselves powerless at this time to take any other steps whereby the news papers may be continued, and feeling that we are acting both for the good of the patrons and publishers of the papers. "News paper in the past eight months has advanced from $43 per ton until at the present time it is quoted at$130 per ton and almost unobtainable at that price, some wholesale paper houses hav ing none to offer at all and some of the mills refusing to takeon any new con tractP. There may be slight excuse or ample excuse for the advance in prices on us, but the fact remains that we are paying from 50 to 500 per cent more for paper stocks, ink, metal, type and things that are used in the publishing business than we were eight months ago. The only thing that will save the newspapers of South Carolina is the ad vancing of advertising and subscription rates. Some of the larger dailies have already made advances in both. The small dailies and weeklies will have to do likewise or go out of business, and we ask you, in the linterest of a free press and the best interests of yourself, community and state at large, to meet these advances cheerfully and to co-op erate in every manner possible. "Paper-makers insist that there must be a curtailment of the demand upon them; that they are working three shifts a day, and at this season of the year, when they should be accumulating a re serve stock, they cannot supply the de mand. Large publishers are trying to meet the suggestion of the iaper-mak ers by cutting down their papers and economizing, and the commisAion ap pointed by congress, after investigating the situation, are alarmed, but so far have been unable to offer any sugges tion that will in any way relieve the matter. Small papers have had no op portunity to economize, as they only buy just what they are obliged to use, and under the existing conditions few newspapers can exist long unless they find some immediate remedy, and the only remedy at this time is an advance in the rate of both advertising and sub scriptions, No matter how much a pub lisher may dislixe to do this, it is his only salvation if he continues in busi ness and continues to be of service to his advertising patrons andsubscribers. "We have confidence in the patrons of the various papers throughout South Carolina and believe that they will stand by them and co-operate in any manner possible to keep them goingun til there can be a readjustment. And in conclusion we'call on all perons who believe in the mission of a free press to co-operate with us in adjusting our business to these new and uriheai'd of conditions, so that we can continue to serve you.
