As is customary, there will bo no paper issued next week. We miss this issue, not for the purpose of pleasure on our part, but as a matter of business taking the week to try and straighten up our books for a clean start next year. And we ask von to help us do tnis by subscrib ing, renewing, or paying up if you owe anything, now. We ask this in all kindness and feel sure you will do so, for, if we mistake not, ou are as anxious to bfcgin the new year free as we are, and you cannot claim to owe no man anything so long as there is u sub scription account standing against you. It is with feelings of gratitude'and pleasure that we realize the people of the town und county at last rec ognize the paper as a strictly busi ness enterprise,. and treat it as such, generally paying promptly for it. and in many instancas in advance m a paper should be paid for. Yet we have many who are very much in arrears, but we i'eol that these few cases are caused from thoughtlessness aud not from willful dishonesty, and believe these accounts will soon be settled if not in full, in part, at least. uur auverusers are piaaseu. inis shows the paper is read, and when a paper is read its standing is assured. it is our wish next year to make several improvements in the paper. To do thh we must have your co operation and support by adver tising in it, subscribing for it, by speaking a good word for it when occasion offers. Not only this, but make allowances for its imperfec tions; be not too ready to condemn iU shortcomings, but help it out in every way you can. If our ideas on some subjects do not conform to yours do not get mad. We will not think you a numbskull if your ideas do not harmonize with ours. If you think we have done you an in justice do not sneak around and abuie us, but tell us of it. We would apologize to a 'Sailer' dog if we were shown- that we had unjustly abused it. A local newspaper is a mirror in which the community in which it is published is reflected. If you are alive and anxious to move forward, the fact is sure to be seen ; if you are satislied to stay in the same old rut, the fact will also be known. Thanking you for past and pres ent support, and asking you to yet do more if possible for us next year, we close the last issue for 1903 sincerely wishing you all A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. A Bill No Insult North Carolina is probably the on ly section in the United States in which ther? are a large number of people who are so honorable that they regard the presentation of a bill against them as a reflection upon their honor. This is a survival of the good old days when money was easy ami pro tits large, aud life moved slowly. The farmer bought freely from hia merchant, and paid surely when con venient, without any urging what ever. A bill tvas evideuce that trust was at an end. But this day has passed. Men trust each other as much as ever but bills have a different significance and are more necessary. They are not a sign of distrust, but of need to collect accounts. The world lives faster now ; money must llow faster; profits are eoant and collections must be prompt to save interest and dis- COUMt. A man wrote a newspaper man in this city lust week that he was 80 years of age and had never received a "dun for money" until the news paper man sent him one. His hon or was touched. We had a some what similar experience with a Bap tist minister recently. While thei'o remain men who do not wait for hills, the vast majority will not pay until they have received a bill. In towns and cities nearly every one waits until a bill is re ceived. This being so, bills must be sent out. They must be sent out or ac counts will not be collected, and ruin will follow. Quick and full collections are essential to success. Biblical Recorder. A "Word of Appreciation. We wish to express our appreci ation to our friends and the public for the many nice things said of our new millinery, and invite them to continue to visit us at our store, where they will be cordially wel comed.

The most hopeful characteristic of tho American colleges is the self supporting student. It has been said that any "boy in this country who want an education can get it, if he. wants it bad enough. The truth ot this is being demon strated now more clearly than ever before. Since the beginning young men have worked their way through col leges. Poverty has been no bar The growth of the practice is indi cated by the report of the secretary of Columbia College committee on employment of students, from which it appears tlrat Columbia students during the past summer earned $31, 101, an increase of &13,000 over their earnings for the year before. In looking around for Presidential timber next year, if Dr. Bassett and his followers among the students at Trinity could have their way, Book er Washington would undoubtedly have the first place. Certainly the North has never pro duced a greater man than the South ha?, consequently, in their estima tion, Booker is the greatest man in th'e Union, and Roosevelt is not in it. Booker Washington in a great man, of his race, and deserves great credit, but that he is the greatest man in the Union, Good Lord do liver us from the thought. Doubtless he is a greater man than Dr. Bassett, but that he is as great as Mr. Daniels, or hundreds of other southern white men is tabooed by ninety-nine hundredth of the best citizens.
