The price of the paper iH small and they could pay for it one time about as well as another. They could pay in advance as well as not if they only thought about the matter in the right xvnv. Most of the country papers are hampered and closed always by having to send papers without the money. Everybody pays in advance for the big wealthy papers like the Constitution and World and others we could mention but the smaller and p.ior newspapers are left to shift as best they can. Suppose you should decide to go into the newspaper business and should locate in some town where you e add secure two thou sand subscribers for your paper cash in advance. You would ha. e t he money to buy paper and ink and pay printers and could go along smoothly with the work. But if you secured the two thousand subscribers anil "2 h1 for thern to.pi'.y ^Jvscrip ? ; Wiethe end of the year you v oh Id have to borrow money all the year. < >ur paper- is much nearer on a cash basis than ever before, and this is the point we want to work to. Several of the leading coun ty papers in the State have adopted the cash in advance sys tem and it is working well and is very satisfactory to subscribers as well as publishers. We have some subscribers who probably cannot pay now but will pay us and of course we are glad to continue the paper to them, but we kindly ask all who can keep their subscriptions paid in advance to pleasedoso. Pub lishers who have togivebut little attention to collections get out t lie best papers. We are doing all we can to furnish our readers a good paper. Dr. George T. Winston who is to deliver the annual address at Turlington Institute Commence ment next Friday, is one of the Stale's foremost educators. He is a strong and forcible speaker and is much in demand as a com mencement orator. His recent speech at Philadelphia was com mented cn very favorably by the northern press. An Omaha, Nebraska, dispatch says that Jchn McKinley, a first cousin of President McKinley, was placed in the poor house of Marshall county, Kansas, last week. He is 93 years old and is totally deaf and almost blind. It is a sad case, and the President, no doubt, will look after his aged relative as soon as he is apprised of his destitute circumstances. A Southern Industrial Conven tion is to be held in Philadelphia the second week in June. Many prominent southern men will be present and make addresses on the recent development of south ern industries and the future possibilities of the South, among them being Julian S. Carr, of North Carolina, Governor Lon gino, of Mississippi, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia.

It has been a long time since anything has appeared in Thk Hkrai.ii from Spilona. Rut the appearance of the long wished for warm weather has made such wonderful improvement it tempts lilt UJ Jlt'll it ItfW Hilt?*. The long faces and groans, overcoats and heavy winter (goods) wear of the farmers have been laid off and they appear in shirt sleeves with bright smiles and songs. Their cotton is com ing to a good stand,corn has turned green and growing, a bountiful fruit crop is sure, and everything is once more in favor of the farmer. Taose of this section are well up with their farm work and have t'.'.'.w to rig their fishing poles with new Viaes and hooks and go tisliiug. There is only one farmer 1 know of who is not crowned with joy over the tine weather and lie has t he sympathy of thecominunity? he seems to be troubled over watching his pond seeking legal advisefrom theClerkoi theCourt, attorneys and magistrates, how to prohibit some one from tres passing on his land and fishing in his pond, and the one he strikes at so hard hasn't been fishing in his pond but once or twice in about a year. Well wonders wi 1 never cease?and every neighbor hood is once in ashoit or long time infested with some kind of trouble. Well two of Smithfield's tobacco men, I will call them Lean and Fat. wandered out to R. I. Lassiter's recently and went fishing, Lean sat in the shade of an old pine stump enjoying the fumes of a cigar and watching the speckle pills dib his cork under, and fin ished up with a big catfish, while Fat stood on a log for the first time in years and flopped out the shad-roaches to his satisfaction. mi * f it f x . 1 . i ne polio was inn 01 loans?you know how they swim and sing. When they would dive under and flop the water, Fat thought it was big chubs jumping and wished for a jack hook and a roach. Near night they pulled out for Sinithtield with pipes and cigars and two big bags of tobacco tied behind their buggy. We want tlieni to visitSpilomi again when the toads are not swimming and the fish bite better. Little Robert Wellons is visit ing R. I. Lassiter and is just en joying the beauties of the piney woods. Messrs. J. W. Lassiter, W. A. Lassiter, Win Henry Lassiter and Ksrom Johnson, are prepar ing for another fine crop of to bacco; they are very successful farmers and always get high prices for their tobacco. Mr. Rand's Mill near here is cutting great quantities of lum ber now. We wish him much suc cess. With wishing TheHerald and the fanners much success, I will close until another day. F. L. T.

Henton Faircloth, a son of Lev Faircloth. died Saturday of nneu inouia. after a weeks illness Two week's ago he was 20 >ear old. hearty and robust, a pietur of health. Adinon Wilkins was befor mayor Kyals Saturday nigh charged with the larceny ot on pair of shoes. He gave bond i #100 for his appearance at cour next August. It. S. Itvals, keeper of Heii-o cemetery, is on his semi-atunni tour. lie is very useful in oil "city of the dead," but we hop it will be a long time before li takes up his permanent abod t here. Mr. Thomas Wood all, wh lived about three miles from liei died Sunday morning of dropsy He had been sick about seve weeks, but was thought to h j better Saturday. He was one < our best farmers?a good eitize j and an t x-Confederate soldier. Wife beaters are too numerou and they are almost alway drunken husbands. No les than three complaints have com to our ears within that man, j days, and in each instance th wife is an industrious, hard working woman, suffering alms | at the hands of a brutal crimi mil. How long will civilize* .communities allow such thing ' to go on?
