Some merchants do not believe in
advertising. Others believe in adver-
tising once in a great while. ASK
the merchant who uses space regu-
larly and literally in The Herald
whether or not it pays him. Ask any
concern that does a large amount OF
advertising if it does not pay. The
trouble is, Mr.. Merchant, if your ad-
vertising has not been paying you,
the fault is yours and not the fault
of the advertising. Advertising does
pay-millions have been made from
no other source than by advertising.
Some of the most widely advertised
articles owe their entire existence to
the advertising campaigns that pro-
noted them. AS a good experiment,
take, for instance, some article that
you see advertised everywhere. When
you begin to notice that that certain
article is no longer being advertised,
take note of how long afterward it
lives.

The fall and winter is time with
many farmers for rest. Many OF
them consider that when the crop is
gathered, the work on the farm is at
an end for some months. to come
Therein, the farmers err. There are
many things that ought to be done
right now. If you would have a good
paying farm, don't stop your work
this winter. Here are twelve things
you can do this month, according to
the Progressive Farmer: u
/. Finish the harvesting of the
corn and cotton as soon as possible.
2. See that all cotton and cotton
seed being held are kept dry and are
not rotting.
3. Keep up the warfare on the
stumps, getting them out of the way
for better farming.
4. Terrace your fields to prevent
washing.
5. Get some tile and lay line
through that wet spot, thus insuring
good crops on it.
6. Lay in a big supply OF stove
wood to last mother through the win
ter months.
Z. See that all implements in use
are oiled, painted, repaired and put
away in dry place.
8. Sow cover crop of rye on all
lands where it has not been possible
for Won To mt clOyerS or vetch.
g.. Continue to SOW oats in the
lower half of the cotton belt.
10. Watch the barnyard and take
precautions against it's becoming a
filthy lake of manure and mud.
IL. Start the road drag, using 1t
after every rain.
12. Subscribe for some good pa
pers and magazines for the family
to read during the long winter even

Says the Gaffney Ledger: ''We
hope every farmer in Cherokee will
SOW enough wheat to do him at least
a year, and little more, so he can
feed his city cousins. If we will only
raise our own meat and bread we will
not be disturbed by the fluctuations
in the price of cotton That is
sound advice The people of Bam-
berg county know this by practical
experience Last season the farmers
in this county planted largely in
wheat, and although it was their first
experience, a conservative estimate
places the value of this crop to the
county at not less than $4,000. The
prospects are that much better croI
will be made this year. as the farm
ers have learned a good deal about
wheat raising this past year.

A New York paper recently in
uuired of Governor Manning: do
the people of your State approve
President Wilson's S plans for strength
ening the army and navy?" The gov
ernor replied: People of South
Carolina have implicit confidence in
the honesty, Judgment, patriotism
and broadminded craftsmanship OF
President Wilson, and, SO far as an
able to learn, heartily endorse his
stand for national defence" The
sentiment expressed in the governors
reply is without doubt shared by
nearly every citizen of the State. The
fast returning normal conditions in
this country is due in large measure
we believe, to the confidence people
have in the wisdom of the president.

The only business way to run news
paper subscriptions is cash in ad-
vance. By this it is not at meant
that there are a great many persons
who would not pay their subscrip-
tions. But there are some. For in
stance the other day The Herald re-
ceived notice from one of the coun-
tvs postmasters stating that The
Herald addressed to citizen at that
place had been refused, and INSTRUCT
ing us to discontinue the paper. We
looked the subscriber up, and found
that his subscription expired March
|, 1914. He was one of the sub
scribers that we presumed we were
favoring by carrying over through
the past years unfavorable condi-
tions. We understand that this gen.
tleman is worth considerable money,
and he has a reputation for paying
his debts; but, somehow, it seems
that some people do not consider
owing a newspaper subscription q
debt. Of course the newspaper loses.
Under the postal laws, we are re-
quired to stop this paper. Now, The
Herald does not regret faVoriEG its
friends for the past year by continu-
ing their papers, and We just men
ton this to show at what expense we
did so; for, unfortunately, there are
quite a gooa many people like the
one above referred to-good citizens
pay their debts promptly; but some
how or other do not include their
subscriptions among their debts. Had
The Herald strictly enforced its cash
in-advance rule, there would have
been no paper refused, for we would
have known when the time expired
and the subscriber had not renewed
! that he did not want the paper en-
other year.

The Orangeburg county fair was
a great success in every way. The
exhibits were fine, and the attend
ance, so it is stated, was almost
double that of last year. While the
writer did not have the pleasure OF
visiting the fair, those who went
from Bamberg, and they were legion
in number, were much pleased with
Orangeburg's annual exhibit. From
a financial standpoint, the fair did
we'll, and will doubtless show a
profit; and the benefits to the coun-
ty cannot be overestimated. The
county exhibit in Orangeburg is
growing in usefulness. The get-to-
gether spirit of all fairs is one of
the finest things about them. 1t
tends to bring the producer and the
consumer into closer relations and
better understanding. The pro-
ducts of the county were we'll dis
played, and it is safe to say that
there are many citizens of Orange
burg who learned much from their
visit to the fair. Now is the time to
take steps toward the organization
of a fair for Bamberg next fall. By
starting now, the necessary arrange
ments and the erection of suitable
buildings could be completed in good
time for an exhibit next fall.

Z IN taking the position that the
salaries of State officers should not
be increased at this time, Governor
Manning is entirely right, to our
mind. The salaries of all State.of-
fters, and many county officers, are
too low, it is true, but the people are
now trying to ;recuperate from the
ruinous conditions OF the past eigh-
teen months, and it would not be
right to further burden them with
increased taxes to raise salaries now.

that time Mr.. Barker. then an in
experienced beginner, now the head
OF his profession, explained when
asked If his methods were TO be
revolutionary:
THAT depends on what one calls
revolutionary. But among the things
! want the members OF the company
to do is to realize the full force and
meaning Of the rhetorical method en-
ployed by Shakespeare and to adapt
themselves to it's use. As TO the
scenery. there will be merely enough
for all decorative purposes. What we
have to remember is that Shake
speare's plays were written to be acted
without realistic scenery. Forget this
circumstance, and sooner or later you
will find yourself tumbling into some
trap or pitfall. Walk howsoever
wariy you may, you are bound TO be
tripped up by some unexpected pas
sage in the text. The result is that
the discrepancy between the efforts Of
the scenic artist and the picture
painted by Shakespeare generally be-
comes horribly apparent.
My great and chief contention is
his: Your endeavor must he to pro-
duce "A play by Shakespeare exactly,
as far as possible. in the spirit that
Shakespeare wrote II. There is one

was the insurmountable obstacle to her
success. But she set to work to cult
vate her weaknesses. II was ulti-
mately her voice through which she
gained her greatest successes. More
on her cry in "Goetz Won Berlichin-
gen" than on any other single fea-
ture Of her acting did VOTERS fame
rest. Yet she was the actress who
began her career with so little voice
that every manager who heard her
did not hesitate to discourage her.
Miss Barrymore has a voice OF
slight range. But with it's two or
three notes she manages to create
not only unusual effects but a sense
OF variety which Is more intellectual
than physical since she controls as
a matter of fact the most limited
dynamics. But hear her delivery OF
this speech and say that there Is no
necessity for the last act Of THE
shadow at the Empire Theatre:
ut may be sport to steal the hus-
band OF healthy woman who is ca
pable of defending hersclf-not fair

gle with a rival who has been selected
for love or interest or vice or simply

defeat her-perhaps that is worth
while. But to steal the husband of
woman who Is helpless. chained to
her bed Of suffering. that is not sport.
You are not lighting rival there.
