advanced from fifty to one hun
dred per cent. since the first OF the
year. If you owe for your paper,
you had better renew at once. 1t is
simply out of the question for us to
continue sending The Herald week
after week when the subscription is
out. We have had to cut off a large
number of subscribers since the first
of the year. Now that we have our
subscription list up to date, we in
tend to keep it so. We have found
out by hard experience that it is no
use to try to send papers out on

justice by doing so. We now have
several hundred dollars due us on
subscriptions sent on by special re-
quest during the first year of the

more than half of the number we so

Road Courtesy.

The other day I drove up behind a
man who had wagon load of fer
tilizer. The road was rather nor
row, but could have passed with the
use of one rut. 1 footed for gang
way. The man not only gave me the
one rut, but pulled entirely out
where the way was rough. 1t was
unfair to his horses and unfair to
him. I thanked him for it, but as l
drove on I marveled that such cour-
tesy still exists in land where most
everybody is road hog.
There are common rules of cour-
tesy for the use of those who travel
the public highways. Not everybody
knows them. Few follow them.
A loaded wagon should always be
given the full road, if the full road
is necessary to make the load easy
for the horses or mules.
A faster vehicle should always be
allowed to pass; but the driver of the
faster vehicle, if the vehicle is an au-
tomobile or a Ford, should get en-
tirely out of the road, go quickly by
on high. or stop his car entirely, or
take any other necessary steps to
avoid frightening foolish horses and
the nervous women or meh driving
them.
When a vehicle turns out to per-
NIT another to pass, it should always
turn to the left, never to the right.
This is purely a precautionary meas
ure. If the turn is made to the right,
a vehicle coming in front may accept
it as liberty to pass and collision is
inevitable on slippery roads or in the
dusk of evening before the lights are
turned on.
The man who refuses to give halt
the road is not only a hog. He is
holding something that does not be-
long to him rightfully, and the spirit
of it is the spirit of theft.
In this day of many automobiles,
the driver of slower vehicles is sub
ject to many annoyances, for there
are many fools driving cars. But
common courtesy will straighten out
all the kinks.-Fountain Inn Tribune.

Sufficient Proof.
