The Herald is our stock in trade, and
we can no more afford to give it
away than merchant. could afford 10
give away his goods. The publisher
of a newspaper, has right to give of
his individual earnings or to con-
tribute to any cause, but he goes be-
yond the ethics of good business
methods when he gives of his stock
in trade. In this regard, we might
say that it is a peculiar fact that
many persons and organizations ex-
>pect the newspaper to contribute val
liable space in advertising a meeting
or entertainment, of a money-raising
nature, when no other person is ask
ed or expected to contribute any
thing. All notices of meetings or en-
tertainments, of any nature whatso-
ever, the purpose of which is to raise
money for any cause, is legitimate ad-
vertising and will be charged for if in
serted in The Herald. On the other
hand, the management of the news
paper will, when it feels financially
able, in a purely personal and in
dividual capacity, contribute to any
worthy object.

fore January first. We still have a
great many subscribers who have ne
elected to either pay up their arrears
or renew for another year. 1t is very
for us to have to discon-
tinue any subscribers paper, but if
they do not think enough of The
Herald to pay for it, we do not See
anything else for us to do but to stop
it. Dear subscriber, don't wait until
your paper has been stopped, and
then come in and get mad with us.
You have had plenty Of opportunity
to pay up; The Herald is not free
institution. It is run by plain, ordi-
nary human individuals just like
yourself; and you know when a per-
son owes you a dollar and half, you
generally like mighty we'll for that
person to pay it to you. Treat us
just like you like I'd be treated. if
you do that we will receive good
many renewals in the next two weeks.

We were in hopes of seeing some
steps taken this fall toward the paw
ing of Bamberg's main street. This
is an Improvement that the town is
certainly in need Of. Bamberg is
fearfully behind in public improve
ments; it needs waterworks, sewer
age and some paving-and a good
many other things too. We hope it
will not be long before something
definite is done toward making a
start. Before any movement to Sc
cure bonds is going to succeed,
though, we are of the opinion that
the people will have to be shown ex-
actly how and for what the money is
going to be spent for. When it
comes to issuing bonds for large
sums of money, the business-like
way to go about it would seem to
have estimates made, tentative plans
drawn, and other preliminary work
done, so that the voters may know
exactly what they are voting fer.

The Herald takes a pardonable
pride today in presenting Christ
mas edition. The Herald this week
is composed of twenty good readable
pages. There is something of inter-.
est to our readers on every page. The
advertising patronage for this issue
has been quite liberal, and each of
the merchants and business men who
contributed toward the making of
the paper by securing advertising
space have our thanks. Our readers
are urged to read every one of the
advertisements. They form one of
the most interesting and profitable
features of the paper. Bamberg is
a growing town, this fact is evi-
denced in no better manner than by
the splendid line of advertising car
ried in The Herald today. Our read
ers will within the next few days
look for Christmas gifts and other
holiday goods. There is no better
way for them to find what they want
than by perusing the columns of this

found advertised goods of every ma
ture. We bespeak for each adver-
tiser a good word.

Now, don't come back until you have

Have you got a boy they call Mis-
