Please Take Notice. We are sending out a number of statements to our subscribers who are in arrears. We don't want to offend anyone, and' we hope that nobody will be foolish enough to take umbrage at our asking for what is due us. At the same time we would rather a man would get mad e.ud pay up than to stay pleased aud pay nothing. In the near future we have several notes to meet on paper and material and it is urgently necessary to collect what our subscribers owe us. Our actual running expenses are $50 a week and it is a plain proposition that we cannot continue to issue the ? 1 -- - ?J V> paper uuiess mis muun 10 iunu coming. Printers have to be paid Saturday night, and paper men won't wait till fall for their money. Now, we have a number of these little accounts scattered among hundreds of people, but it means a substantial sum to us. With the price of paper ad\aucing every week we simply can't afford to send the paper any longer/ to those who won't pay; so if you are really ! unable to pay and owe us for over a I year, kindly notify us, so that we i can strike your name off our list, as I we don't care to seud good money J after bad. A great many have already settled their accounts and paid a jear fj j To them this notice has no< .-reuce. Come, friends, don't delay longer; but bring or seud us the dollar or two dollars that you know, we have honestly earned. tf P LL1NG ?But we havi 5c yd. 1 5cyd. hite Chec .INERY TO BE CLOSED :E DRY KINGSTREE, CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES. * An Interesting Programme Prettil Rendered-Address by Pastor. Quite a large and attentiv congregation witnessed th Children's day exercises at th Methodist church here last Sun day morning, where an interest ing programme was delightfull rendered by the many bright eyed boys and girls of the Sun day-school classes. Each par was well memorized and ever selection was produced withou a hitch or halt on the part c the children, thus reflects > mum v-i cuit ujjuu muse lauiui workers who had in hand th training of these little tots fo this joyous occasion. : After the opening song, an< prayer by the pastor the nex number was splendidly carriei v out by Mauldin Lesesne, "Greel ing" being his theme. Th flower exercise by twelve child ren was a veritable picture c beauty beyond the power c description. The song "Th Joy Bells" was a pleasing feal ure of the occasion; and indee all the vocal music would havi done credit to a choir of traine singers. The solo by Miss Iv ' Mahaffey is deserving of specia ' mention. Few girls of her ag possess such a splendid, we] modulated voice. The ten girl depositing their daisies at th 1 cross was truly an inspirin } scene not soon to be forgotter "Forget me not" was prettil recited by Miss Opal Eaddv The song exercise, "Sunbeam j Bright," by nine little ones mei jted the same high praise a did their other splendid voca selections. The leading num ber on the programme was "Wit Garlands of Flowers '' by eigh of the larger girls, which form |ed a charming floral picture c j youth and rare beauty, and th ; gestures with pretty garland jof natural flowers were grace ful and impressive, not to b forgotten until Children's da I rolls 'round again. The pastor's address on "Go a Fishing'' was a unique anc masterly effort, in which he lu cidly pointed out to us the dif ferent lakes and pools alonj 'down the turbid stream of lib | in which good people ought no to tish. The congregation wa: ! highly oleased with the wonder ful lesson it aforded them. A collection was then taken which met with liberal response on the part of the congregation ;and was followed by the Bene diction. All who had the pleasure o ! attending this delightful occasi on will fondly cherish fresl | memories of Children's day ic ; Kingstree in 1907 for man] mon^s to come. Notice.

A Geod Newspaper's Value. i A good newspaper is an absoy lute necessity to a growing town and county. Just stop for a moment and consider bow awke ward it would be if there were e no paper here, no way for a citie zen to express bis views on matl* ters of concern, except by word of mouth; no way to learn of y the local happenings over the " county except through gossip; L" no means of publishing reports * of public officials, notices of tax y sales, list of jurors, time for * holding court, election noticesf z election returns etc, etc, except ? by tacking them on the court l* house door; no way for mere chants to advertise their wares, e r no cheap and easy way to adver- g t'se the innumerable wants with J J V u which a newspaper is now filled; * no champion going each week ? ^ from every newspaper ocffie in ' the State as a representative of ? e the interests of the county. ^ A newspaper does much for a community for which it makes no charge, and therefore of e which little notice is taken. But all in all it plays a large a c* part in the development of a s e community. So the people of c ^ Beaufort county may well feel " a gratified at any improvement in its newspaper.?Beaufort e Gazette. t II t a e ANOTHER BIG STEAMER COMING. o fc g 1. Col Watson Scores a Victory For e y Immigration. v Columbia, JuDe 17:?Commis- I s i siouer of Immigration Watson has * returned from New York with the ? s annouucemeut that he lias secured * another ship for Charleston, which p will be prepared to bring 500 immi- 1 ^ zrante. the ship itself being nearly f, , I o . twice the size of the Wittekind. tl j Mr Watson has for some time been * working quietly to this end and has E e ! been saying to his friends that he g s j would in a short while announce * *! the result of his labors. The whole e story is best told in his own words. ^ When seen to-day at his office, i where as usual he was up to his " neck in work, Mr Watson gave the * | following staiement: ' ; 'T have just returned from a hasty trip frcm New York, where * = I spent a few hours Saturday. h< While I am not at liberty to give yj *1 exact details at this stage, I may di s say that we s.re going to make an- * other effort at putting a permaneut S] trans-Atlantic passenger and freight ^ ' carrying line into Charleston. The ; many first obstacles that have been g ' ! encountered s: nee the first attempt in this direction have been most discouraging at times, but these very ^ i things have made me work all the more energetically to accomplish the B 1 desired results. This time, if the 1 .conditions that have been stipulat- sv ' ed can be met?and they are being ^ named in the light of a full know ledge of the results of the initial efforts?we will place a steamer in dt Charleston harbor of nearly twice - She size of the Wittekind, taking of her off her run to New York for at r ca this purpose. Since Easter no stone A has been left unturned to bring ' about the resumption of the service upon a strictly business basis. ,19 .' ?News dc Courier.
