of the play in Louisville is from the
louisville Times:

1T deserves large patronage and it is
safe to say that the Masonic Theater

best bills ever seen in popular

with many of the same cast, seen
here and elsewhere at the higher

The story Of "The County Chair

practical politics.

with the bitter rivalry. Of Jim Mack
Ter, the County Chairman, and Elias
Rigby, his old rival in love and poll
tics. The scenes are laid in Indiana.
Rigby is the opposition candidate for
Prosecuting Attorney, and Mackler
enters his partner, Tiford Wheeler,
against him. Wheeler is in love with
iRieby's daughter, and it is with diff
fculty that Hacker persuades him
TO accept the nomination, which
came to him un5ought, and make the
race. He finally accepts and Hack
Ter manages his campaign success
fully. Wheeler wins not only the Of

GIVE US A REST.

Why not now let us have a respite
from reforms. investigations, fads,
cults. and doctrinalisms. The coUn-

its attention distracted perforce from
the ordinary vocations Of a Chris
tan life and of being required to
give heed to and waste time arguing
with short-haired women and long
haired men. The last long period Of
prosperity bred an unusual crop of
restless beings who preached the doc

Henry B. Warner Of Lexington, N.
c., president of the National Edi-
torial association, is in Washington
to urge the postofice department. to
postpone for six months the new rul-
ing Of the department in regard to
lasped subscriptions to newspapers
and periodicals.
An order promulgated Oh Dec. 4,
denies to publishers the privilege Of
sending copies to subscribers as such
after a specified term following the
expiration of the subscription. This
rutt1ng becomes a law today. Hereaf-
ter publishers Of weekly newspapers
can not carry subscribers in arrears
more than one year, semllweeklles
more than nine months, tri-weeklies
longer than six months, and dallles
longer than three months. For eacn
violation the publishers will be fined
/ cent for each four ounces. Since
The average newspaper weighs four
ounces or less, each paper sent to a
subscriber in arrears for longer
period than indicated will cost the
publishers I cent fine. This law
will not affect the big dailies very
materially, but it will make a change
in the management of weeklies aid
semi-weeklies.
Mr.. Warner, VINO is proprietor of
the Lexington Dispatch, says the
newspaper publishers do not object
to the-law, but simply wish more time
to prepare themselves and their sub
scribers for its actual operation. He
will see Postmaster General Meyer
tomorrow and urge an extension for
six months. He declares few news
paper publishers know of the law ,a11
fewer newspaper subscribers.

on the first Of March We will again
notify each subscriber how his sub
scription stands and call MS atten-
ton to the fact that if he has not
paid III advance by the first Of April
his name will be dropped from the
list. After that date We will endeav-
or to have our mailing list corrected
monthly.
We again ask that you bear the
facts stated in mind and that you will
make your arrangements to pay for
The Herald and News and not force
US to take your name from the list.
If paid each Year the amount is very
small and will be much easier to eaen
subscriber than to let it accumulate
for several years.
The following from the Columbia
Record is the first intimation that
we had of this ruling by the depart
ment and again in yesterdays spe-
cial to the State from Washington
the following appeared.
The subscribers to The Herald and
News will therefore see that there is
no option left for the publisher.
The postoffce department has is
sued an order to the effect that here
after newspaper subscribers must be
collected in advance. The order is
dated December 4, and goes into ef-
feet January l. It is provided in
the order that no delinquent sub
scriber shall be carried longer than
three months. The reason for the
order is found in the fact that the
government allows a very low rate
on newspapers postage, assuming
the postage to be only for the bene-
fit Of bona fide subscribers and real
newspapers. It is not intended that
any advertising schemes shall share
in the benefits. By limiting the mail
privileges to- actual subscribers, tha
government will save money on its
mail contracts.
