the magnificent and spacious eleven-room dwelling house. This

mountains and all surrounding country may be had from the
house, which is situated on a beautiful knoll. Is on the main
road leading from Pickens to Liberty. In easy reach of good

worth cannot be described. Anyone interested may come and
thoroughly inspect tiis property.

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 Sentinel is the best value for the
money in Pickens county andl no family
in this county should do without it. I

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.
"The South Carolina Press Associa
tion. "
