We have several hundreds of sub t scribers on our books who owe u: for one or more years subscription We are still hoping that many o' these will pay this debt, for we have considered most of them honorable and trust-worthy. If these delin quents would pay us, we wotild b< * able to meet our obligations (or i part of them) which by reason o: our several severe illnesses have mounted up to a very consielerable / ^ sum compared with our resources They could do this?most of them? without any great effort, it beinj ' but a dollar or two to each <.?f them while to us their not paying means a loss of several thousand dollarsall rmr nrnfit nnd ennsid erably more. As said heretofore we cannot help but believe thai many of these subscribers mean t( pay. But, remember, 'procrasti nation is the thief of time," ant ypu are missing a golden opportunity right now, friends, if you evci intend to pay. As the ancients expressed it: "Carpe diem"?(Seize the day, or opportunity). By contrast, it has been mosl gratifying the way so many of oui friends?some of whom we know were hardly able to spare the monej ? have come forward cheerfully and voluntarily and paid, nol only what they owed, but a year 01 two in advance, because they knew we had been sick and unfortunate. There are not a few of -these loyal friends, and we shall never forget their kindness and their appreciation of our efforts the last seventeen years to give the county and town a newspaper worth sending out. It is such people as these that keep nol only newspapers going, but every other enterprise worth while. Truly they are the salt of the earth. Beer As a Brain Burnisher! The National prohibition forces seem to have the "demon rum" on the run and the latter is making a desperate l>ut ineffectual resistance. -One by one the Southern States are Jailing into line and under the Webb act it will not be near so hard to enforce the law as has been the case heretofore, so that argument will pretty well have the props knocked from under it. It is freely predicted that South Carolina will go "dry",now that the Legislature has referred the matter to the people to be voted on next September. To show how subtle but determined the liquor manufacturers have become, they are making an effort to get the apparent support of the newspaper? in the debatable territory. They have employed one Charles Frederick Chandler, an alleged professor in Columbia Uniyersity, New York, to write an article trying to prove that beer is not only physical, but mental food, and that it does not make drunkards. This article?amounting to about three columns in this paper? i is set up in plates ready to print without any expense of type-setting. I and even the express charges are paid. Their agent of distribution ! is one of the lag newspaper unions, with branch offices ail over the United States, whose clientele in| eludes many thousands of newspapers?daily,semi and tri-weekly, i bi-weekly, magazines and so forth, i To accept this offer would mean a saving of from four to five dollars . to the newspaper in money value, but what of the equivalent it gives? To our mind, we would feel that we had stultified ourself. 9 ??? ???? The Pension Grab, # J The "World's Work" is authority for the assertion that the veterans of the Civil war are dying at the raf,? nf thirtv-fivfl thousand a vear. or nearly one hundred a day, and ^ yet the Government is paying out more for pensions now than lias * ever been paid out before. But the most shameful fact is that a Democratic administration exceeds the * Republican administrations the former had "cussed out" every year for the "big pension graft." When the Democrats got into power, however, one of the first things they did in the way of legislation, if we remember correctly, was to pass a bill appropriating one dollar a day to be paid to Federal veterans,while the followers of Lee and Jackson get nothing from the Government save the privilege of contributing to this ' tremendous pension fund. Even 'conscientious KepubJicans protested ) against this bill, and some, we beI lieve, actually voted against- the measure. But the bill was passed by a Democratic majority. r Cut in half the pension and rivers and harbors appropriations (which would leave an ample amount for all legitimate demands, it is asserted on the best authority) and there would not only be no need for war r taxes, but the Government could b meet all necessary and legitimate appropriations and have money left over in the treasury without the need of a single cent of extra tax in any form, direct or indirect. Which leads us to conclude that politics is rotten to the core and with either partj7 it is no meaningless cry when they utter their slogan every two or four years: "Turn the rascals out!" In the European unpleasantness the campaign liar is at home on ' land, sea or up in the air. The ten-cent loaf of bread in New York city has been cut two ounces lighter by order of the Master. Bakers. ! Many of us hear of "an inch of 'rain-fair' and wonder what it | means. When an inch of rain falls ; it means that one hundred and one jtons have fallen upon every acre ; within the area of the rain-fall rcj ferred to. The past year has Ijeen hard on newspapers. First Monday in February two county newspapers a ere1 'sold under mortgage in this State 1 and four in Robeson county, North * j :Carolina, just over the line, adjoin-i ing Marlboro county, this State. At j the present high cost of raw matcri-: i als and poor collections one runs a 1 paper actually at a loss in this part, i of the country. 1 * ' With the price of wheat constant-1 1 i i ly going higher, if the Master Bakers can arbitrarily cut the sizx- and j raise the price of a loaf of bread?as | it seems that they can do?those1 absolutely dependent upon the bakers' product arc in a bad way. | Fortunately,'However,in the South?' or in South Carolina, at least?' l every farmer can raise his own supply of wheat. Then form co-operative companies in every community and build flour mills, and they will be as independent of the Master Bakers as though such an organiza- I .. pi | 11UU ilCYCI CAiO^OU. X lain ITI1VUV* Tliere is a crying demand for neat, comfortable tenant cottages in town. Under present conditions we are informed that it is almost a matter of impossibility for a newcomer with a family to secure a desirable home. Such a condition of affairs tends to hinder and retard the town's growth in a material way, and it could be so easily remedied if a few men with real estate and capital to spare could be in- ' duced to invest it in this way. One thing is self-evident: We shall never have a growing town without homes for new-comers. The present strenuous and stringent business condition?be it real or artificial?is having its effect on every line of business, hut upon none more so than the newspaper. A newspaper debt is largely a debt of y honor and when the pinch comes many a man who would be grossly insulted were his honor ever so slightly impeached, will dodge this non-obligatory debt by any means that suggests itself to a crooked . mind. The names of some who have thus beat us out of one or two or three dollars or more would surprise their fellow-men were they given to the world. if the people want compulsory education, of course we say let them have it. But we do not believe they want it?in this section, at any rate?unless public sentiment ?3irW?/-k UfA KrttTA lias vasiij V/uau^uu siticu ng 110,*^ heard any general expression on the subject. Our educational system is already a burden under which many tax-payers are fairly groaning. We would not be misunderstood. We are heartily in favor of State, county and district spending every cent possible for this laudable cause. But there is a limit to everything, and in this State and county and district, for the present at least, we believe that limit has been about reached. Shredded.
