We need the monty j le keep the paper going. Saturday, Dec. 17, 1921. Reading colored journals is all right and just what every colored person should do; but paying for them is of just as much importance at least to the publishers. * * * The epidemic of giving is near at hand and some of these folks here abouts are shuddering at the pros pect. $1.25 will send The Indicator to a relative or friend for a year and serve as a weekly reminder of the giver. Nothing more appropriate at the price. . . . Every body knows it costs much money to run business, but some people seem to think that the longer they wait to pay bill3 the better will the business thrive. Promises are alright if they are kept but not if not kept. This is a fact that many don't seem to real ize or appreciate; for they pay little or no attention to promises. For that reason more of them bear hard names and rightly so. * . * The president of Morris College Sumter. S. C.. has arranged with the editor of The Indicator to let the public know of the doing3 of that great institution through its column? Morris College is the prude of the baptist brotherhood of I South Carolina and certainly the brother hood will delight to read of the do ings at and around their school each week. A fine forward-step f which President Starks has made.J * * * J The Indicator welcomes Djf\ J. C. White back on the "firing lme " as editor of The Peoples Recorder. While The Recorder is one of the old est papers in the State and has done its share of the great work of keep ing our people abreast of the times as well as holding up the light of hope to us, while others would turn to us the dark side of the pic ture as it pertains to our group, there is still much work for The Re corder to do along with the rest of the poorly appreciated papers, and The Indicator welcomes Dr. White's return to help in this great task. As a writer and thinker, Dr. White has but few equals, therefore, we bespeak for The Recorder's edito rials that will broaden its field of use fulness; for the thinking minds really look to the editorial columns of all papers for independent thoughts and opinions. Victory Bank Christmas Club. The time of the year when much money is spent, and that too very needlessly spent, is about herc. Thousands ?f dollars will soon de coming into the hands of our peo ple from Christmas Club savings through various banks in this city This reminds us that it is a duty of ours to remind our thousands of readerst hat The Victory Savings Bank will open up its Christmas Clubs for 1922 next Tuesday and the officers and directors are hop ing that thousands will open clubs with them.

Aftei January 1st. it will be 1107 Wash ington St., in the Jenkins' Building Start an account for the baby anc the rest of the hcildrcn next Tuesdaj in your own bank. You owe it tc yourself, you owe it to your children you owe it to the bank. REV. M. G. JOHNSON. In the sudden passing away o the 8th, of Rev. M. G. Johnsor moved away ono of Columbia's old st, most dependable, and upright itizcns. Kev. Johnson was indeed i great man and did many great huigs in his day. We knew Rev. ohnson initimately for several 'ears. He was always a quiet un issuming Christian gentleman. In msinesh he was as true to his prom ses as thc cai th is to its orbit, that s. if it was possible for him to ieep his promise, and if he could lot we could always depend upon lim for a satisfactory statement at ?.hat time, giving reasons why. He knew that was thc honest way to do busincs and so governed himself. Just the day before his death he called at our oflice with a notice to be published of his free service to the prisoners at the penitentiary the Sunday following with the . statement that his previous services at the prison had helped the prisoners and he wanted to keep it up. Just before leaving us,he in quired whether he owed us anything for The Indicator. We assured him that he owed us nothing and that if ? all of our subscribers paid up as promptly as did he, The Indicator would be in better shape and a bet ter paper. Said he, "Well if 1 owe you anything I want to pay up." With this he left us,but little did we think that that was his last visit to our oflice. Rev. Johnson's 44 years pastorate at Ladson Presbyterian Church, his first and only pastorate, is evi i dence enough that he was a great and good man. Be it also said that he and his devoted wife have reared up one of the best families of devoted upright and christian young men and women to be found anywhere. During our several years sojourn in this city we have not heard naught against a single one that would cause father and mother to be ashamed. This in itself is re markable indeed. I A great man has fallen in . Israel but Iiis good works shall ! live on. Our New Linotype With a good deal of satisfaction : the editor of the Indicator announces ? 1 tho ?TtstsHet?on of s new Linotype. [ This mechnical marvel qualifies us j to serve efficiently the large num ber of persons who look to our pub ' lication for enlightenment and en tertainment and who patronize our j job-printing department. I The rapidly increasing circulation ; of The Indicator, together with our J desire to place at the command of . our advertisers and others the high : est gr-rftie of ?typography, induced us i to secure a fine composing machine for the quick and accurate and pleasing presentation of the news of the day, and the production of su perior job work. Our new Linotype enables us to set by machine many forms ot* com position that previously necessitated | tedious work by hand. Our plant is j now capable of turning out compo sition consisting of correct type faces in many different sizes, and I the change from one size to another j j is made very quickly. At a high ' j rate of speed the versatile operator I -whose hand is made famous by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company I as "the hand that keeps the world informed"-produces line after line of the sort of composition desired. This installation is a testimonial to the prosperity of Columbia and vicinity. And that the good people of the community arc duly apprecia tive of our efforts to serve them in all departments of the printing business is manifested by the . many compliments received from in dividual patrons since the arrival of our new machine. The accompnying illustration will give our readers some idea of the marvelous mechan.se of the Linotype, a composing machine on which are assembled matrices (or little brass molds) and lines of type cast lines such as you are now reading. Ees.des enabling the operator to set various faces and sizes of type, our new Linotype makes it poss.ble ! for to produce the rules and i dashes and borders which are used in var.ous advertisements in each issue of our publication. When I employed in the composing ol i advertisments newspaper head i ings, booklets, cataloguts, ant variou other kinds of printed matte: . our new machine tnables one ope > rator to set in the same time mon i type than ordinarily could be pro ! duced by five or six men or womei j doing tho work by hand-and th composition is incomparably bettti ? While for a long time we have rc f ceived the patronage of a host o subscribers, advertisers, and print ing buyers in general, we look for 1 ward to the handling of an eve j greater volume of business ?io , that we are so well qualified to rer der the sort of service most to be d< sired. It has been our aim to present th news of the day without fear or fi n vor, and to reflect faithfully tl lf ideals and ambitions of our constlti ents; and wo shall continue to devo The Economy Shoe Uep?ir Shop j J.
