GOOD-BYE.
W'te avi -
For some time there has been
. a suc% movement on foot to establish d
neet be O]
r another newspaper in Pickens, i
ti
ieat' and a stock company was organ
or ized, which elected as directors
J. Me. Bruce, . H. Craig, C. a
E. Robinson, R. E. Bruce and s
M. C. Smith; they, in turn,
elected M. C. Smith as secre
tary and C. E. Robinson as
president, treasurer, editor and
t
manager.
Later, many people believing
C
there was not roomi for twvo pa-e
pers, advocated the buying of C
the Sentinel-Journal by the now
company. This deal has been
finally consumnmated, and with
this issue we turn over the
plant, goodwill and subscription
list to them, and bespeak for
them, of our patrons, their
hearty co-operation and sup
port.
There be those who begge(d us
to stay in the field, and pledled
us their support, but we hadl(l the
best interests of the county and
the town iat heart, so step dos vn
and out for we know the men
behind the paper have unlimited
capital to push it and can make
of it a much Letter sheet than
we could with the limited means
at our command, therefere we
considered there was a better
chance for one to cover the field
than fy$ two papers to scramble
urn ibs.
Taking this philosophic view C
of the matter, we retire grace
fully from the editorial chair, ~
with a clear conscience and a
knowvledge of dlut ies wel l-)4Irr
formjed andt~ no apiology to nukle
to aniy onefor )1 hav~iig alway1s
F'or 15 yearIs we) hav' hlbored
county and the advancement of
the farming class. The farnw'r
is the backbone of the coun try,
and as such is entitled to conu
sideration at the hands of bank
er's, merchants, and all business
people with whom he conmes in
cont act andl has business rela
tions wvith, in any way. This
ha be51) en our pol icy, and( we
have preached this creedl at all
times and our sincere hope is
that our successor will, at least,
follow in our footsteps along this
line. We believe in the farmer
~having the front seat in the band
wagon at all tim(es.
The sub~scription accounts are4
due to. and collectible byv, th e
uow management, w~hile theo
adverting and job work accomiits
up to 1st of October are collect- 0
ible by the present management
and must be paid to us at once. a
Next year will be campjaign
year, and while we do not know a
what will be the political policy ci
of the paper, we hope it will ad-a
vocate men and measures best
for the county and state.(1
rTere we to. continue in har- t
ness we would advocate Govern- ti
or Blease for any position ho of- f(
fered for, and our parting do- 01
mand (and request is that you
K ive han a respectful hearingw

We ~n yer aa~nr~er in~
newspaper work. As we re
'e from the journalistic field,
e carry with 'us only most t
easant memories of the happy t
Lys spont with our friends and
bscribers thro'-out this county
id retire from the field feelng
Lat our heart has been right if I
ir head has been occasionally 1
rong.
Our every effort has been a
mnscientious one for the upbuil
.ng of the towns and the devel.:
ment of the c9unty, realizing
iat the one could not prosper
!ithout the aid of the other,
ad while we may have been
semingly hard in our remarks,
re did what we conceived and
elieved to be our duty. - We are
lad that we fought measures
nd not men, for we always
ried to avoid personality, except
D use It when it was public prop
rty-public acts ot the official
r private citizen are open to
riticism, and a newspaper is
lerelict to its duty if it does not
ake cognizance of this fact.
Should we remain in, or leave
lickens, we will always retain a
varm place in our heart for each
mid every one of our subscriLers
mid our desire is that you may

Now, in after years, as snowy

Supporting a Newspaper.
The Greensboro (N. C.) Tele
gram has been forced to go out
of business, the reason assigned
being the lack of advortising
patronage, or rather the lack of
an advertisinu: rate, suffcient
to enaole the publishers to make
expenses. In a cardI to the pub)
lie, Manager J. T. Fain declares
that the people of Greensboro
expects too much of the patpers
and~ do too little for them. Hec
states that the advertising rates
are too low to jlustify a credita
ble paper being issued andl yet
the merchants will not stand for
a raise. At the( saml e inme they
risdve a howl if the paper is not a
m1 odern1 one in every respect.
What is true in Greensboro is
true of many other cities. Thew
public demiands a metropolitan
paper, yet is nnwilling to pay
for the sameI(. Thiey raise a
strenuous kick if the advertising
or subscription rate is raised to
a point wvhere the p)ublishers fee'l
they would be justified in issu
ing a real paper'. The failure
of T'he Telegram should bo a
w arning to the people' of Greens
horo that unless they are wvilling
to support their daily papers
t hey wvill soon find 'themselves
without them, a town is judged
by its papers. Live new'spapers
would indicate that Greensboro
is a live towvn. Poor newspapers
would indicate tha~t it is a poorI
town. The same applies to )
every other town and city.-- 2
