however, not to continue this plan, and
we take this method Of giving notice
that all subscriptions that have expir-

Hereafter the mailing list will be
gone over twice month as our GUS

ly taken off without notice except the
label that is on your paper. We hope
that OUT subscribers will renew SO as
not to miss any issue, but in the con-
duct of our subscription list now, we
do not know anybody, and when the
subscription expires and the subscrib-

the uplifting OF its citizenship. There
has never been a time when leader
ship could count for more than now,
just as there has never been time
when division among the people and
bitterness could be more untimely or
harmful. The chance that lies before
the young man who today becomes
governor is sufficient to inspire the
very highest ideals of public service
and patriotism.
Governor Blease enters upon his
administration in the knowledge, shar'
ed by all Of us, that in his campaign
for governor he overcome the opposl-
ton of an element not only consider
able as to numbers, but important by
reason of it's intelligence and inf1u-
ence. Putting asiG2-as the governor
can we'll afford to do-the opposition
which was based upon personal pre-
judice. the governor may properly da-
sire ITO disprove by his administration
of the Office the arguments that we're
advanced, publicly and privately,
against his election.
ION the other hand, tha: element
which opposed the election of Mr..
BIease, principally ON account of fea-
lures of his past political career which
they could not approve, should in all
fairness-and we trust they will
Judge his administration not by what
they may dislike or condemn in his
previous record, but solely by the rec
ord which he begins today to make.
"The slate is wiped clean, Governor
FBlease. Your friends-and you have
many friends, which is greatly to your
credit-and your former enemies are

of Office as governor of South Carolina

OR aINAUGURAL" EXTRA.

The Inauguration of new governor
and what he has to say is a matter OF
great interest to all the people. In ad-
dition to this, the new governor, Mr.
Please, is the first governor Newber-
~ has ever furnished.
1t was but natural that The Herald
and News, the newspaper that gives
the news while it is news, should issue
an extra edition only a minute or two
after tie inauguration was concluded,
giving fvil account of the Inaugural
tion, and the full text of Mr.. Blease's
inaugural.
It was a newspaper feat, The Herald
and News being the first paper in the
State to print the story of the juaug-
ural ceremonies.
We are not praising ourselves, be-
cause We are modest, but We are con-
graduating our subscribers, to every
one of whom the extra was sent.
The Herald and News will continue
to give the news while it is news.

IN FINE SPIRIT.

The Columbia Daily Record opposed
Governor Blease in his campaign-op-
posed him vigorously but fairly. In
fine spirit is this clean-cut editorial
from the Record on the afternoon of
Governor Blease's inauguration.
INSERT ssThe Record Says:
"A change in administration is al
ways an occasion, and properly so, for
comment and conjecture. The coming
of new men to new responsibilities
means the Inauguration, ordinarily, Of
new policies and new methods, and
readjustment of governmental affairs.
''The inauguration of Governor
Blease is no exception to this rule.
While the new governor has for a
score of years been active in South
Carolina politics, he represents, it may
be said, a different school of political
thought from that which has been rep
resented for the last eight, even the
last IL, years in the governors Office.
He has attained his high ambition by
consistent devotion to lines of political
procedure that have been all his own.
This is equivalent to stating that the
new governor is possessed of original
ity. He is also not lacking in the
strength Of personality, a quality SO
essential to success in the leadership
of men-and politics is merely the
leadership of men.
Governor Blease, then, is equipped
for the position. He has the ability,
the personality, the experience, and
now he has the opportunity. 1t is a
great opportunity.
South Carolina was never more
prosperous. Her people were never
more united on essentials, more ready
to follow wise counsel and to accept
constructive measures for the ad
yar~o~~~-:+ of the commonwealth and

Radium Comes Cheaper.

Sir William Ramsay in a recent
London lecture stated that radium now
costs s2,1OO,OOO an ounce, the drop in
price from s3,OOO,000 being due to
the work in the pitchblende mines of
Cornwall, which is showing such sat-
isfactory results that a continuous
supply of radium is absolutely assur-
ed.
In reference to the work at the
mines Sir William announces that up
to the presenA time $50 milligrams of
pure radium have been produced at
the Trenwith mines, near st. Ives:
The process OF the extraction of ra-
dunn from the pitchblende employed
bv Sir William is so rapid that the
amount Of radium secured by this
method in two months would take a
year by the latest method used on
the continent.
A year ago there was about a quar-
ter of a pound of radiu1n in the world.
A radium bank has existed tor some
time in Paris. Recently one was es-
tablished in London, and similar in
s+itutions are: being founded in other
great cities. These banks lend the
precious substance to scientists and
physicians. The cost is enormous. AS
much as 5000 has been charged for
the use of 100 milligrams for a single
day

REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
Primarily a Religious Anniversary.
and Only SecondariIy Festival
of Good Cheer.

AS Christmas day draws near the
question arise how far the opportunity
to make others happy has been util-
ized. To whom has the essential mes
sage of this season been carried. the
message of good will?
This is not question of what has
been given in form of physical tokens.
The Christmas spirit is not confined
to the exchanging of gifts. A word. a
letter. handclasp may suffice. The
exchange of greetings should never be
perfunctory at such time. Wishing
another Merry Christmas" should ex-
press the hope that his day may be

significance and possibilities. and that

joyous times to come
certain veneer of custom has en-
vironed this most significant of all
festal days. There is danger that the
real meaning of 1t may be lost In
the somewhat commercial spirit that
has developed of late years. In the
churches hymns Of praise are sung
and sermons are preached to bring

nature OF the day but each individual
may make it a true Christmas by ap-
plying the principles of him whose

The Golden Cycle property at Grip
pie Creek is said to be in better con-
dition than for years. The value OF
the property is now placed at $6,-
100000.
Richie Hughes and company made
shipment of eight cars, or sixty-five
tons from the Federal mine in Gilpiis
county. that gave returns Of from $50
to $65 ton.
Ten men, selected from the miners
employed on the Portland, Cripple
Creek, have been given their first les
son in the use of the helmets and
other rescue apparatus just installed
by the company.
A wonderfully rich strike was made
on the 200-foot level south of the main
shaft of Stratton's Independence mine,
at Victor, where twenty-one feet of $40
ore was opened. The shoot gives
promise of being one Of the richest
opened there for years.
The Pittsburg mine in Gilpin coun-
ty has been payer for a number OF
years, and from the present outlook
will be for years to come. During the
last week a shipment of ore was made
that gave returns of 9.S4 ounces gold,
7.S0 ounces silver and 10 per cent
"copper" or over 5000 ton.
A strike of considerable magnitude
has just been made at the American
Sisters mine, situated on Columbia
mountain at Georgetown. In sinking
the Headlight shaft streak of ore
has been encountered and assay tests
show values OF 725 ounces silver, one
and one-half ounces gold and &c per
cent lead.
Alderman Frank Gum, operating
lease in the Moose tunnel, Cripple
Creek, has opened good ore at point
about 1,s00 feet from the portal Of
the tunnel and at depth of 400 feet.
1t is a strong vein and grab samples
assayed as high as $50 per ton.

A new flow of 500 gallons a minute
has been opened in the main heading
of the Roosevelt deep drainage tun-
mel The heading is now about three
miles from the portal and about a
mile and half from the~intermediate
shaft. The average bore per day for
the last month was eight feet, being
new tunnel record with only one
shaft.
Water is receding in the Mary Nc
Kinney shaft, ON the west slope of
Raven hill, Cripple Creek. at the rate
of four and one-half inches each twen-
ty-four hours. There remains about
seven feet on the station at the eighth
level. Indications are that work will
be resumed on this level before the
first of the year, even II 1t be neces-
sary to start the pumps.
Pike & Co., who have the record of
| operating successful leases on the
Matte and Old Town mines. have Sc
cured an option on the Victor. Central
and Wenlock veins in Bellevue noun
tain, Idaho Springs. They are putting
in an electric plant of machinery and
as soon as completed will sink the
shaft to the 500-foot level. They will
also drive drifts at each 100 feet to
| open the ore bodies which are known
to exist. The lessees are driving the
tunnel levels which will cut some Of
the veins at the 500-foot level and will
make connections with the shaft, thus
affording excellent ventilation. The
property has never been thoroughly
prospected but from the surface some
.ery rich ore has been mined, showing
values from 800 to $500 per ton.
