A WORD.

Yes, sir, we are about ready to
print newspaper again. Mr.. Hum
bert Aull has the big press back to-
gether and as we are writing this
paragraph is waiting on the electrl-
clan to turn the "juice" on so that
he may test out the machine, and as
soon as that is done the forms tor
this paper will be put on and we Will
2-un out this edition. And then We
nope we may get so organized that
we may get back on regular sched-
ule and get out on time. 1t has been
a big Job, this thing of moving
newspaper plant even the size OF
The Herald and News, and this edl-
tor has promised himself that his
successor may make the next move
unless we get rich enough to put up
a modern building all our own, and
there is not a great prospect that we
will be able to do that.
a good many Things are lelt GU
of this issue that we would like to
say and some of them we may say IN
the next paper. Only this brief note
from the editor to say that tie Dig
press is up and running and all OF
the "stuff" from the old place has
been moved and will be arranged
and put in order just as fast as we
can.
Come ~ see US and bring along
that dollar on your subscription. We
need it now more than ever before
and it will be a very small matter for
you but in the aggregate will mean
a whole lot to US. Thank you.

A THRILLING STORY OF A
WAIF AT A DOORSTEP
Spartanburg Journal.

Spartanburg Journal.
Truth is stranger than fiction,
as the following story written to the
editor of The Journal by Mr.. G. 6.
Pike attests. No story has been told
in better form than this. Mr.. Pike is
a SON of the Rev. Johp NJ. Pike, for
many years one of the most useful
and popular ministers of the South
ern Methodist church and who is now
living at the age of eighty-seven in
full possession of his faculties and
interested in the things of the pres
ent day.
The story follows:

savoring of fairy tales which We
sometimes read, that I want to give
you.
Twenty-seven years ago my father
was pastor of the Methodist church
in a small town in Central Florida.
One night, about midnight, after the
family had retired, there were three
sharp rings at the front door of the
parsonage. Father got up as quick

was perhaps a sick or death call, but
when he3opened the door whoeves
came had disappeared in the dark

baskets, one containing three weeks
old baby and the other a basket OF
clothing for her. The baskets were
lined with newspaper printed II
Spanish, but the child was unmistak'
ably of Anglo-Saxon parentage. He
of course, took the little one into the
house and my mother (who had sev
en- children Of her own at that time)
tenderly looked after her immediat;
wants. TIE fact of this little wal
being left on the parsonage Doorstep
