Sunday the little fellows went into
the country to spend the day. While
there the two children developed the
newspaper spirit to a wonderful de-
gree. They told the good woman
who was caring for them and giving
them a good time, that the evening
before brought them much care and
anxiety. A man and woman in an
auto had driven hurriedly up to where
their brother was standing, had seized
him and handcuffed him to the man,
told him to dry up or he would get

Those who heard Mr.. Westrope
sing in the Methodist church last
Sunday certainly have that mapni-
fcent solo still ringing in their hearts.
With the ease OF mother speaking
with her child and with the splendor
and luSter of a sunset in June the
gifted singer painted his song picture
on the listening canvas before him.
The audience felt that it had been
spirited into some kings palace of
antiquity where the pitch OF tones
and the laws Of melody walked arm
in arm in tabled beauty. With less
show than reality and with no attempt
at technical display, the soloist was
at his best filling the large auditor
ium with his sweet song and soften
ing down every impulse the hearers
nigh have to doubt or forget His
was wonderous service, big enough
and great enough for any body, and
yet four years since he was known
only as a gentecl salesman in one of
our gents furnishing stores, polite
and refined and all business and pro-
titable for his employer. Today he
sings from a head well-hlled with
desire and a heart yielding day by
day to the higher art of sacred song.
Any church is fortunate in having
this artist on its list.

One Caldwell preacher must have
had his ears burned to a cinder one
afternoon this week. Four or five of
his members congregated in front of
Baker & Harris store and reviewed
his latest sermon to FRAGILE Other
anxious listeners fell in with the
bunch until quite a commotion was
the result. The obnoxious feature of
the sermon was where the minister
told of probable deeds of women
even in the sound of his voice at the
moment. He said they need not get
mad nor laugh contemptuously about
it, for he knew what he was talking
about. The final analysis of the dis
course was truth, so it was decided,
but that sort of truth was not the
best before a mixed audience. Guess
him.

an invoice of the old sinners that |
have been converted in Caldwell dur

a profitable business. There arc those
going the rounds who claim that

adult sinner that has been genuinely
converted in ten years and who is
working at it now. Others claim
there really have been a few and can
give the names. but the number is
small. We see about the streets the
same old fellows with the same old
language, the same old gags, the
same old things, just waiting for some
big gun to some along and shoot
them into the kingdom. The forth

the hearts of many of Caldwell'S best
people who are even now Working on
the plans for the meeting. After this

An aHaemic boy walked into the
Office of one of our prosperous phy-
sicians this week for the doctor to
examine his frail body to get at the
disease that was camping on his trail,
The doctor is not aware, so far as we
know, that his conversation was over
heard; but this is what he said: Come
here, my boy, and let me see you"
The lad put himself into the doctors
hands. After little talk and exam
nation, the doctor said in his kindly
way is that all the clothes you have,
my boy?" Upon being assured that
that was his best, the doctor said:
come with me-" Down the stairs
went the physician with the lad at
his heels. A nearby furnishing store
was the objective point. Soon daisy
suit of cloths was hanging from the
little bones of the lad, good pair
of shoes shielding his two feet and a
new found friend swearing by him.

represented at the State fair by one
or more excellent exhibits and the
People is glad of the opportunity to
promote it's success in every way
possible. So far as dividends are
concerned, We doubt if there are
many fairs in this section of the
country that do much more than
break even, to say nothing of pay
ing a dividend, and if any money
is cleared above operating expenses
it is usually put into permanent i'm
provements.
Let's not let the dollar mark stand
between us and our interest in our
fellow men.
Of course The Herald has no criti-
cism to make of the People or any
other newspaper for the manner in
which their business is conducted
1t is a free country and everybody
can decide for themselves. But when
the People intimates that The Herald
is not doing it's part for the advance
ment of the county or State, we have
no hesitancy in saying it is mistaken
The Herald gives columns-yea
pages-of matter for advertising
Bamberg county and the State OF
South Caroina. And The Herald has
never turned down a legitimate news
story about the State fair. But we
do not see why fish should be made
of one concern and flesh of another.
If Barnwell merchant put on a
trade contest, we fancy the People
would charge the merchant for the
space he used. And it is queer
thing that the newspapers should be
the, one industry that fairs choose to
donate everything free. Boost your
town and your county and State, by
all means, but boost them with legi-
innate news stories. Pure advertis-
ing matter should be paid for, and
when all the newspapers ldarn not
to give away their merchandise,
space, we will all be more prosper
Gus. Nobody thinks of going into a
store and asking the merchant to
give him cigar or pair of shoes.
Yet the average newspaper does not
mind giving a half page or column
reader free. If the editor thinks a
cause is just and entitled to a gift,
let him donate the gift out of his
pocket, and charge for his space.
Very few would feel able to donate
the price of the space they are usual
ly willing enough to give.
