To our delinquent subscri bers we wish to say that this . is the last issue that we will send to you unless your sub scription is paid. The News has dealt as generously as it possibly can with you, but you are netting something , for. nothing,, that nothing you give us will not bm1 bread arid wewill hve i to at last part f rojn you. Now don't get mad and try. to say we should have called your attention to the niatterf for we have already devoted more spacoto warning you than you deserve. f If we do not do this, we are liable to get ourselves in trouble with the postal authorities and, while we love you we can't leave our "happy home for the "pen" just because we want you to get the paper for nothing. Don't blame us, we warned you the bright silver dollar did not .come and we must look , after our own interests. Now this little notice does not mean poor f 'sombody" across the creek, it means YOU, be you rich er poor.: If yotf want the paper come across with the subscription, if you do not do this, wa take it for granted that you da not -care for it. - 1 The old accounts we will ' still cling to and dun you for tnem every time we see you , until they are paid.

Greenville, Spartanburg and Polk counties, are . expected next year. The . possibilities of this sectioTvwhich I nerhans surnass afiv other in the ; a 1 - i . v - j country were discovered oniy. a few years ago, but hps. been rap idly developed. Many; newvine yards and orchards will be plants ed and several men will move to Ihis section to give their time ex clusively to fruit growing. - - This section is one of the most remarkable, in the'couhfiy. . At a longitude of thirty" five degrees north tropical and semi-tropical fruit, such as grow nowhere in ! this country outside of California, grow luxuriantly. The frost is unknown; and in , the "Thermal -Belt"' vegetation , is green for weeks before theomingjspring has driven the snow from the valleys far below. The season also extends into the autumn s ev- eral weeks longer th n in ithe surrounding country Taking advantage of this phenomenon, some of the finest quality of fruit known is growing here. The "Thermal Belt' extends only along the mountain sides, though its influence is felt to a degree in the valleys. At places it is very marked. Sometimes, the vegetation of the mountain has shown no signs of the coming spring except a portion which may be only a few hundred' feet j in width, or cover a large part of the mountain side, in which :tne coming season has weeks before asserted itself. A thermometer would pernaps show no difference in the two places,- the difference being entirely due to Ia:k of moisture j where vegetation is further advanced. . The '-Thermal Belt" is due to the cold air of the North rushing southward through Howard Gap. between 5 Tryon and Warrior Mountains causing counter cur rents abng the mountain sides j which evaporate the moisture. With' f rust an impossibility, a great advantage is gained to agriculture. y , Fruit growing is as yet In its infancy, though great things are looked for whea the possibilities of the courtry arethoroughly de veloped. The greatest 1 , success has so for been had with, raisir g grapes, ,of w lijch . thirty, or more American and European 5 variet ies and hy birds are grown. Peach es are' also grown with much suc cess and by selecting proper var ieties a continuous crop ' of five months is had,- and many peach es measureCtw el ve inches in cir: cumf erenceP Japanese plums are extensively -grpwn v. J . in is iruit pernaps demands a higher price than any other, of cne Kind grown an tne world, cer tainly in this country. N 'agara grapes, grown in New York, are bought here after the local sea son is ended and sold for less than home ; grown grapes when the season is' at its height.' Tryon fruit, so-called because the town of Tryon is in the center of this fruit raising district, is of a sup erior flavor to that of other fruit belts and those who have eaten both are willing to pay a prem ium for the former. The fruit has a- national reputation and formerly shipped to all parts of the country, but the demand in the South has so increased that it is now impossible to supply the demand in even this field. : But few apples are grown here though the climate and soil is ad mirably adapted, . there being mora profit on fancy fruit. It is Post Office Department will 1 Enforce Its Ruling After January 15, 1910. u .,. On and after January 15, 1910, the ruling of the United. States Post Office Department with re f efence to delinquent subscribers wjll be rigidly enforced. This law as ' our " readers - doubtless know, provides that', newspapers mailed to (he subscribers who are in. arreas for a period longer than one year shall be subject1 to " I ' -.""."'' such an increased rate of postage as xo renoer it enureiy. too costly foij the newspapers to continue mailing the paper to such delin- ... -1 - . quints. The post office department has a . . . .- - suspended the operation of this law until January fifteenth. This will give those in arrears an op portunity to pay up their back dues and to start the New Year with no subscription indebted ne$s. We hope those of our friends who have neglected to settle their subscriptions for the Neivs .will do so promptly When you see a blue cross -mark on your paper you will know that you are due as (much as twelve months send or bring your re newal. I Ve do not want to loose a single subscriber but we must conform to' the law and tnis will be done f ! - strictly after January fifteenth. ! Tfiis rule will apply to ALL de- linqjuents. . We shall have no fa vorites but will, on the date men- tioned. revise our books as the la w directs. . This rule will be enforced in town; county, and elsewhere. T , e are confident that many of those who are behind in their subscriptions have simply over- I -' looked the fact and this notice will sett pe sufficient to ensure prompt ement. V ; Remittance may be made by checks, post office money orders or stamps. ' - I A Man's Tact. Nolody but Mr. Henley would "have askec jsuch a question In the first place. "Hhs Falrley." he . said.
