OUR FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

1t mas been quite, an uuue4 ldh-1AIS "
set out this paper with the limited
force we now ave. In fact, the paper
has grown m, ! ia, ger than We evev
dreamed when We uldertco. to get it
out. We har, 20, very mu outside
help, and we were working N small
force for the regular work. We be
lieve, however, that our 1rlenos auu
subscribers will appreciate the paper.
The editor has done practically very
little writing for this issue. The lead
ing articles that are not signed were
written by Mr.. Hartwell N. Aver, vet
eran newspaper man of Florence,
though just at this time he is not en-
gagged in newspaper work. A number
of the articles are signed by the writ
ers. And they are all worth your
reading.
To those VINO have furnished contri-
buttons, and to the merchants Of the
various towns represented, We wish to
express our appreciation for their
kindly cooperation. We have no
quarrel with those of our merchants
who do not feel that it would pay
them to take space with US. 1t was a
business proposition, and if they felt
that it would not pay them to carry
an ad that was their business. We
should have been pleased to have every
business represented in this edition.
1t has been something of strain to
the small force which we now have
In the Office to get out this edition, but
shey have been faithful and loyal and
we have gotten it out with the help
of only one outside man, Mr.. T. +.
-McNaIly, a printer from Columbia.
who came oger for couple OF weeks.
Mr.. E. F. Hammond, the man VINO
handles the machine, is an expert op-
orator and machinist, and in addition
80 setting all the type and handling
all of the advertising copy, he has been
of valuable assistance in getting up
she forms and arranging the heads
and keeping the old press and the
folder in running order, and has
worked day and night for the past
ehree weeks. Then our little man, Eu-
gene Sigh, whom we brought up in
the Office, has been faithful and worked
we'll. And tne old man of the fore,
Hosea NJ. Barger, who has been with
the shop for more than fifty years,
got we'll and has been giving some
good work. And little Charley Taylor
has done good the past two weeks, /
and Henry Turner, the negro help,
mas stood by the old newspaper press
and given good help. And We are
thankful 10 all of them for the aid
they have given. 1t was big under
taking for the small force that we had,
and we feel proud that we have done
as well as we have
We want the readers of this paper
10 look over the ertisements that
appear through the various pages.
They tell a story of progress and en-
terprise. Each eight pages IS a COM
elete paper in itself and the total are
equal to seven issues Of the paper. In
other words, you nave seven papers !
in one. We especially invite you 10
look over the section devoted to Whit :
mire, and note the progress that is
being made there. In fact, it would |
do you good to make visit to this

and in the line of goods carried that

great deal larger. And then the mill
is an ideal one, and Mr.. William Cole

and health and happiness of the help
