ONCE MORE.

1t is hard to part with old friends,
even when you have evidence which
almost convinccS you that they no
longer care for you. We have notified
all OF our out-of-thc-c county Subscrib-
crs That those who gave no heed to
our request would be taken from our
list after the first Of January. 1t is
painful to have to admit It. but very
few have taken any heed to our re-
quest. Some of the names ON ihis list
were there before the present editor
took charge and nave been there
since. We rlailcrrl ourselves that
they cared for Us and appreciated
"ui visits but alas
Friendships but a name"
anl when it coscS to the SHOW
down there is not even llc
name, and scarcely thc shadow.
1t takes money to print paper
and those who Ito not care enough for
1T to pay, occasionally will not long
cr receive The Herald and News.
Some Of these names W, have ear
ried too long already.
We are sorry to cease our visits but
after the next issue if You are more
than one year in arrears and have no.
rrmltt2d anything this fall your nam,
will be taken from the list where it
has been for probably quarter of a
century.
We wish y"u happy Christmas
and prosperous New Year.

SOME OBSERVATIONS.

y few observations on Il recent trip

We travelled over The Southern.
From Newherry we had the pleasure
Of the company Of Mr.. Edwin G..

viSi: to friends in Ncwbcrry, and
at Columbia we were joined by Cen

New York t" attend meeting Of the

The Southern put us into Chariot. .e
practically on time. From Charlotte
I" Washington the train was delaye |
and when we reached Washington it
was nearly three hours late The
same thing was true on the return
trip and we reached Charlotte some
Four hours late. This train is known
rs the fast mail and express and since
the railroad war with the state in
North Carolina and Niringia as TO
passenger rates it has been required
TO do local work from Charlotte to
Danvrlc and the local train has
been discontinued. A sa result if is
usually from two to three hours late.
Upon arrival in Washington we
sought the residence Of Congressman
Lever and speat our inc principally
with him. He is busy and a very
active member Of congress from this
Slatr and has been very highly COM
rlimcntcd in being selected to lead
the fight in the house for thc Ap-

PAUPERIsM IN LONDON.
Appalling Expenditure of WOrlda %Greatest City tn Poor Relief.

Greatest City in Poor Relief. 1 Chicago Record Herald.
 Think of community in which one person out of every thirteen is a pau per. supported by the public. It seems almost incredible. and yet in the strand union of the central district of Lon don. the official figures of paupers show this ratio to hold good In recent years. There are four other unions in London--Poplar. Bermondsey, the "eity" and Holborn-in which the proportion of paupers Is about one out of twen- ty For all London 1t Is about one out Of forty.
 The contrast with conditions in Chi cago is startling for 1t one should take the I.150 paupers at Cunning and dou- b1e the number in order to get soms~ estimate of the total number in Chi cagO, one would still have only about one out of every 300 of the people of the city in that condition.
 For the last three years the London paupers have numbered about 125,000 There was falling off from 1a7,000 at the end of 1905 to 123,0o0 at the end. of 1906, which is taken as a hopeful sign, but this gain has been secured only at the expense of an enormous amount of labor by various public and privats agencies, designed to aid the derelicts of the city to become self-supporting. About three-ffths of these paupers arc in institutions and the other two -flftha receive outdoor relief
 The cost to the public for their supp port in the latest full year for which statistics were available was close to $l9.000,O0O. Calculated on the mean average number this is an outlay of from $1S5 to s1lO for each pauper a year. The per capita cost In London Is about double the per capita cost in other portions of England.
 The waste in money Is enormous, but the waste in life is enormously greats CT. Such figures are the standing in- dictment of modern civilization

 42 Commerce St.
 New Orleans. Jan 21.--straddle opera tions are principally responsible for the df- vergins price movement in New York and Liverpool, Due 5 to points higher, futures in the English market show only one to two points gain. Spot prices are two points higher. but total sales only 5000. Large spot lines are reported covering tn New York for some reason or other, which accounts for the stendiness there--whereas feeling in our market wire spot news .s the first consideration Is not confident any more owing to declines In spot support As tween here and New York is liable to nar- row further for awhile which should be considered by straddle and hedge interests, Our market opened around Saturday s closing figures and weakened later on duli- ness and spot news. Anticipation Of a report will be published Wednesday at l p. m. and show cotton ginned to January i8, which date we shali compare with s,9s9.s07 and 12.7s7,S0o sinned last year and in 1905, respectively to same date. Expectations vary greatly but rather incline towards com servative figures. The spot market Is qui- et. Some demand for home consumption but little inqutry from abroad. Prices about unchanged: more offering.
 The market in the afternoon continued dull and uninteresting Advices from New York that at the meeting having the eon-- ing towards improved contract basis was strongly voiced caused temporary impulsive support There was no improvement in spot demand. Of course there are export CTS for January delivery who buy oppor- tunity arises, but there is very little fresh demand which causes adverse comment. Truly yours.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago Jan. 2I.-A reported strike in Argentina and unfavorabie weather for the crop in Southern Russia created strong tone at the close of the local wheat mar ket today. The May delivery closed at an advance of hc Corn was up < Q hc. oats were up t %c. Provisions were SO
 The wheat market opened firm in syrn- pathy with q moderate advance at Liver pool. The failure Of the predicted cold wave in the Southwest caused come weak nes despite the fact that weekly statis- ties were favorable to bulls The main items in these statistics were 8 decrease of os4,000 bushels in the amount of bread. stuffs on ocean passage and the srnallness of the worlds shipments, the total Inove- ment being placed at f,si4.0o0 bushels. almost i,000.0o less than the estimated amount. The market acquired fresh strength from q report that serious strike Is In progress at Rosario and that on that account wheat exports from Argentina may be greatly curtailed\ Another buliish fac'- or was the statement that the crop Wf Southern Russia has been hadly damaged by frost. The visible supply statement which although incomplete, showed a dn- crease of 100000 bushels. against an in- crease of almost 2.o00.o00 bushels for the corresponding time one year ago, furnished another reason for the later strength. The market closed strong with prices close to the highest point.
 May opened unchanged to kc higher at 77M Q %c, sold off to 7Tk@hc and then advanced to 7s@kc. The close was at 7se.
 ciearanoes of wheat and flour were equal to ss,o0o bushels. Primary receipts were 5s4,o0o bushels, against l,os3,o0e bushels for the same day last year.
 Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of ss5 cars, against 54s cars last week and 754 ears one year ago
 Cold weather throughout the middle west depressed the early corn market, but later sentiment became buliish in sympathy with the strength of wheat and oats. Shorts were active bidders in the last half of the session. but offerings were not liberal The market closed strong.
 May opened kc lower at 45hc to 45hc, sold off to 45c and then advanced to 46c Final quotations were at 45& 9Mc. Local receipts were 4ss cars with none of con- tract grade
 With the exception of a slight weakness soon after the opening the oats market was strong all day. There was a small amount of selling early in the day. but these offer inEs were quickly absorbed and in good buying by local buiis the market soon be- came strong Shorts covered freely late in the day,
 May opened a shade to E s@Ac higher at SShc to 3sAc. sold off to STA @%c and then advanced to 38%c, where 1t closed. Local receipts were 230 cars
 Provisions were firm because the run of live hogs was much smaller than had been expected. The best buying was by shorts and offerings came chiefly from local bulls At the close May pork was up 10c at Sle 52R. Lard was up 7hc at $9. 50. Ribs were 5c higher at ss.15.
