Columbia, March 5.-Thc datc,ior the
Press trip to Cuba has been changed to
the lith March instead Of the 18th, so
that the party will not leave on Sunday
nor will we be forced to travel on Sun
day either going or returning. After
little more careful study Of the schcd-
ules, found we could make this change
and make the trip in about the same
time. did noe like the idea OF start.
Ing an excursion off on Sunday, and
then we have members who are more
scrupulous on the subject than | am,
and their opinions arc worth consider
Ing, and | am glad that have been
aole TO make the change. Then, too,
this will give the party an opportunity
to see life in Havana on the Sabbath
and those who have been there say this
Is worth considering. The date now
Is positively fixed and there Will be no
other changes. The party will leave
Columbia on the l4th at l.25 Il. m. and
reach Havana on the 18TH at D. m.
we will leave Havana on the 20th and
reach Columbia on the return trip on
the 2lst at 6 a. m. Those who desire
to go had better notify me not later
than the 9Th.

I have made arrangements with Mr..
N. O. Pyles, an old newspaper man,
and who bas been for several years mail
clerk to one branch or the other of the
General Assembly, to make thorough
canvas OF Newberry County for The
Herald aud News. He is very pleas
antand agreeable gentleman and withal
very modest, but he will be ablo to tell
you his business, and want all of tho
subscribers to bo ready to mako some
sort OF settlement with him when he
calls. The subscription list must bo
ovcrhauled. l want to get rid of these
old accounts for back dues on subscpip-
tions and start anew. II you are far
behind and really can't pay say 50 and
let tho account be thrown In the fire
and start afrcsh, and then keep up.
Printing papcr is still going up and we
must at least get enough from each sub
scriber to pay for the paper and INK wc
use II there is nothing with which to
pay the printer. Now, when Mr.. Pylcs
comes be ready to give him a cordial
greeting and hearty welcome and |
will appreciate 1t as a personal favor.
IL You can't settle up, make some sort
OF n compromise-anything that suits
you and that you think Is fair and hon
est and just to yourself as well as to me-
l don't want to part with any Of my
friends, but you must realize that 1t
takes cash aud lots OF 1t to print good
paper twice week. Do what you can
for us, and lets get straight before the
new century comes in and while cotton
is selling at 0 cents and before it
reaches ten cents. Mr.. Pyles will start
on his rounds in q few days,

Il: Rock Hill Herald Is given credit
for the following On the fellow who
promised to Ipay for his paper and
didn't:
Last week delinquent subscriber
said he would pay up II he lived. He
died. Another said: Il will see you TO-
morrow de's blind. Still another
said: 4 viii pay you this week or 60 to
the devil He's gone. There are
hundreds who ought to take warning
by these procrastinators and pay up
now.''
hope mono Of the subscribers OF The
Herald and News who didn't will meet
the fate OF any OF these here enumer-
ated. But we need money and a little
just a allttle-from each delinquent
will help The Herald and News very
much just now. Do tho best you can
for us-angels could do no more.
