Purely Personal.

In looking over Our mailing list we
have been surprised to find how few
have had their dates changed to 'o5
and also at the small number that still
stand at 'o4. We want every sub
scriber to look at the date on the
label opposite his name on this paper
and see if it is in arrears OF Novern-
Der 2o, 'o4 If so you are due your
subscription and should at once send
it to this Office. We need the
money and must have it. We can
not understand why so many people
will neglect so small matter to them
and yet which in the aggregate means
so much to the publisher. You do
not intend to beat the editor out Of
the pittance that you owe him and
yet by not paying it promptly you
make it difficult for him to meet his
obligations. Why not save him the
trouble and cost OF sending man
around or mailing a "dun" for the
small amount by coming around and
paying up. We have from 1900 to
1900 names on Our list who are in
arrears one or more years. Even
S1.5o from each one of these in the
next ten days would materially
tighten the burden and it would be
a very small amount for you to pay.
Do it now. Don't wait. If you
have paid this does not mean you.
Only yesterday we had two sub
scribers to pay before their time was
Out
This is a personal appeal to those
in arrears to pay up. We need it.
Everybody has made good crop and
money is plentiful and business good
Then why put off paying for your
paper.

MOURNED IN NEWBERRY.
Death of Mrs. Helen Crosson, Wife
Of Judge J. M. Crosson, In
Woodville, Texas.

Relatives and friends in Newberry
have received the sad intelligence OF
the death OF Mrs. Helen Crosson, wife
OF Judge J. NJ. Crosson, which oc-
Cured on Sunday night, November
20, at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Slade, in Woodville, Texas. The
immediate cause of her death was at
tributed to heart failure.
To those who knew Mrs. Crosson
when she lived in Newberry a half
century ago and to those who knew
her through the letters from the pen
OF Judge Crosson, which have appear
ed in The Herald and News from
time to time, telling of the New
berry OF the days that are past. the
news of Mrs. Crosson'r death is Pc
culiarly sad. She was sister OF
Col. George S. James, who was killed
at the battle of Franklin, during the
war for southern independence, and
a first cousin of Chief Justice Pope, OF
this city. She was school mate OF
Mrs. Laura Ewart, Mrs. Harriet
Lane, Mrs. Sue Turnipseed and Mrs.
Rebecca DeWalt.
Mrs. Crosson was in good health
I'D until the time of her death. She
was cheerful when she retired on the
night of her death, and it is recalled
that she read and had Judge Crosson
to read to her the beautiful poem by
an unknown author, Even This Shall
Pass Away" After reading the
poem, she requested Judge Crosson
to give it place in his scrap book.
Shortly before II o'clock Judge Cros-
son noticed difficulty in her breath
ing and asked her what was the mat
ter. She replied that she could not
get her breath and that she was dying,
and before an effort could be made
to relieve her, she quietly passed away.
Mrs. Crosson would have been sew
enty-hve years of age next Febru-
ary, having been married S. years,
s months and I day. She oined the
Presbyterian church in Newberry 55
years ago, in company with Mrs.
Silas tombstone. Mrs. Crosson sub
seqlently united with the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian church, in Or
der to be with her husband in his de-
votions. and after moving to Texas,
there being no Associate Reformed
church in their adopted home, Mi.
and Mrs. Crosson joined the Presby-
terian church.
Mrs. Crosson was loved by all who
knew her. Of kind and gentle dis
position and of high Christian char
acter, in her the noblest type of true
womanhood found expression. Her
death is sincerely mourned IN New
berry, and Judge Crosson and family
have the deep sympathy of hosts OF
friends here.

Mr.. DAVIS FIGURES.
A Few Samples Showing Their Amaz-
ing Inaccuracy.

Assurance, without pronounced guile,
marks the acceptance letter of Hon.
Henry g. Davis, the octogenarian can
didate of the Democrats for the Vice
Presidency. He expresses his opinions
on political conditions as if they were
original with him, as if he were not a
human photograph with single cylin-
der that has caught the echo Of Judge
Parkers echo of the Democratic stunt of
ora tory. 1.-The times are propitious for
the reinstatement of the Democratic par
ty in control of the government" is the
assertive way Mr.. Davis begins his po-
litical sermon. The November ballots
will be all ''amens' to that.
Who but the Democrats will agree
with him? when the present admins
tration went into power there was a large
surplus he declares. He ina gined that.
The Republicans came into power in
1897. Is that the meaning of his pres
ent administration p If So and he means
surplus Of revenue over ordinary ex-
penditures, he is in error. Mr.. Cleve-
lands closing year of his last term
showed EXCESS OF EXPENDI-
TUkES OVER REVENUE to the
| amount. of $1S,O52,2 54. The surplus was
the wrong way. The statistics were east
ly Obtainable; why should Mr.. Davis
make such a misstatement2 If he meant
Mr.. Rooseveh's term, beginning in 1900
with Mr.. Mckinley, there was an ex-
cess in that year of revenue over expendi-
lures amounting to 1882 ,O60. There
fore he is wrong again. In extenuation
it may be said that the Democrats never
We're good nor correct figurers. As. for
instance, again, when he asserts that the
revenues for the last fiscal year were
over $4O,OOO,OOO short of the expendi-
lures. He must have been guessing
again, not having authenticated figures.
| In 1903 the excess of revenue over ex-
| penditures was over 100000 The
absurdity of Mr.. Davis computations
and comparisons could not be more forci-
bly, shown than when he quotes statistics
to show the cost of running the govern
ment and the army under the Buchanan
regime from 1857 to 1860, when the pop
ulation was 31,21S,O21. and puts it. as
1 an evidence Of his party's economy, in
contrast with our SOOOO.OOO population
of to-day, into the estimate of the lat
ter, dumping pension accounts, Panama
canal purchase and every outlay caused
| by vast public improvements created and
| carried on solely for the benefit of the
people. The age of Mr.. Davis precludes
| his compiling such figures himself: but
his anxiety for his party's success leads
him to issue them without the common
| est revision as to their correctness or
using his judgment as to their application
| to the matter he is discussing.
| No one should be deceived by the fig.
ures which a Democrat offers him; fol-
| in about nine cases out of ten they will
be. like counterfeit money, made to de-
| ceiye.

The Last Hone for Parker.

Eastern Democrats. who, a few weeks
since, could not find words strong enough
with which to express their Reproduction
and scorn of Mr.. Bryan, are now looking
to him, as their last hope, to carry In
diana.
The complaisant Nebraskan has strip
ped off his coat and plunged into the
task laid out for him. But the voice of
the aforetime charmer can charm no
longer. Insincerity kills the most mighty
effort. No man can win votes under the
circumstances surrounding Bryan at this
time. 1t must be a bitter pill for David
Bennett Hill to swallow, the last resort
to Bryan to save a pivotal State to the
dying Democracy, and it cannot be a
very congenial task to Bryan. the effort
he is making under the party whiplash.
And, blow high, blow low, nothing can
stop Indiana from giving solid Republi-
can majority on election day.
Indiana is not going to join the choir
of calamity howlers. repudiationists,
idlers and anti-everythings.

APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN.

l want to say q word to the young men
whose political life is beginning:
Anyone entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
established firm with years of success
behind it.
Everything great done by this country
in the last fifty years has been done
under the auspices of the Republican
party. Is not this a priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Gar
field, Harrison and McKinley-names Sc
cure in the heaven of fame-they are all
gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in prin-
ciples, memories, sacred associa tons! 1t
is a start in life to share that wealth.
In our form of government there must
be two parties.
But what young man would not rather
belong to the party that does things,
instead of one that opposes them; to the
party that looks up, rather than down; to
the party of the dawn, rather than of the
sunset?
For fifty years the Republican party
has believed in the country and la bored
for it in hope and joy;
Has reverenced the flag and fol-
lowed it;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far-receding horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
Has seen the country extend it's inter
course and it's influence to regions I'M
known to our fathers;
Yet it has never abated one jot or title
of the ancient law imposed on us by God
fearing ancestors. The Constitution of
our fathers has been the light to our
feet. Our path is, and will ever remain.
that of ordered progress, of liberty under
the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid of the light!
The fabric our fathers builded will
stand all shocks Of fate or fortune.
While there will always be a proud
pleasure in looking back on the history
they have made, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less
! important.
+, We who are passing off the stage bid
| you, as the children of Israel encamping
| by the sea were hidden, to go forward.
We whose hands can no longer hold the
| flaming torch pass it on to you. that
| it's clear light may show the truth to
| the ages that are to come.

SHAMEFUL CARTOONS
Reproach and Ridicule for the Soldier
and His Uniform.

The campaign caricaturists of Presi-
dent Roosevelt have succeeded in arous-
ing enough interest to bring out the ques-
ton: Is it disgraceful to fight for ones
country?
1t is amazing to see the uniform OF .
soldier of the United States army pic
tured in such a manner as to imply q
reproach to it's wearer!
1t was once thought to be an honora-
BILE thing for a man to resign position,
ease. family. independence, friends and
home. and become a fighting machine TO
help uphold the honor and the word of
his country.
There seems to have grown up a diff
ferent view of this matter. The earnest
sacrifice of an American soldier is held
by some to be an affair to picture In
such a manner as to arouse contempt and
vulgar smokers in the crowd. The de-
voted soldier facing death for his coun-
try is, with these nameless miscreants, a
sight to be guffawed over, something to
be distorted into a laugh-raising cartoon.
To the laughing hyenas of the yellow
press the stainless sword OF Washington
is but a clowns bauble. To them the
stern devotion Of a soldiers experiences
is farcicai episode In a mans career,
something to lie distorted into q thing to
be jeered at.
Once it was written:
1T is sweet and glorious to die for my
country"
The yellow rendering is:
1T is GROTESQUE AND RIDIC-
ULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONES
COUNTRY"
Such creatures would write in their
books. il they ever wrote books. TT u
grotesque and ridiculous TO die Tor ones

A FINANCIER,s ADVICE.

NERVOUSNESS. OF WOMEN.
English Writer Says They Are in Gen.
eral Stronger Than Ever
Before.

Women of the present day are said to
be more nervous than women at any
previous period. This of course is
largely the opinion of pessimists ex-
pressed in an exaggerated manner, says
the London Daily Express. Undoubted-
ly the woman of to-day suffers from
NERVES" But this has always been a
common complaint among women at all
times. The last generation was neu-
rotic, other generations had insistently
convenient attacks of "megrims."
Thepessimist never wearies of enlarg-
ing upon the strain and stress of mod
ern life, the rush of travel. the restless
ness of great social centers, the incessant
poaching on the hours of the night, the
eternal increase in the number of work.
ting wUmEn. Yet tn reality If the strain
On women be greater than ever, the fact
that they are able to endure II proves an
increase in nervous power rather than
a decrease. The woman who works for
her living to-day has far stronger nerves
than her predecessors ever possessed.
She stands the strain year in and year
out; the women of few generations
ago could not have stood 1t for month.
1t Is also futile to point to the rush of
modern travel as nerve-destroying
force. At the present day there Is less
nervous waste in crossing a continent
than there was hundred years ago in
a journey from London to Bath In the
stuffy interior of numbering coach.
Where among the women of OLD whose
nerves are so Landed could we find the
woman who could drive a motor car
without tremor through street crowd
ed with traffic? The most competent
authorities declare that never In the
history Of the race has so excellent O
type Of woman been evolved as the av-
erage woman of to-day.
