LANCASTER SPIRIT COMMENDED.
Froin The Caroliua Field.
The fact published in daily
papers that Lancaster people
have subscribed the stock of the
uew paper, capitalized at Ten
Thousaud Dollars, and one-third
more speaks well for the enterprise
of that progressive town.
The spirit displayed might be
commended to larger cities struggling
under the weight of smaller!
propositions. Lancaster is about
one-third the size of Georgetown.
NEWSPAPERS CONSOLIDATED.
From Camilen Chronicle.
We note irom the Lancaster
Ledger, that, the three newspapers
published in Lancaster have been
I consolidated under the name of
he Lancaster News. The uew paper
will be under the control of a
stocjt company of $10,000. The

Wylie,President; W.C. Cautheu,
Secretary and Treasurer. 0. T.
Connors, formerly of The Keview,
was elected editor, with J. M.
Kiddle, Jr., business mauacer.
Thin means that after Oct. 4th,
Lancaster will have but one paper
hereafter, as with the capital
Lst<|ek, ami tiie men backing the
J new enterprise any competing
journal would be quickly frozen
out.
"LANCASTER PAPERS TO CONSOLIDATE."
From the Fort Mill Times.
The Lancaster Ledger of Saturday
announces that a company
was organized 111 that place the 1
past week for the purpose of 1
purchasing the three newspapers.
The Ledger, The Review and
The Enterprise,and consolidating ,
them into one newspaper. The
cheers of the new company, j
which is to be known as the j
Lancaster Publishing Company, (
are R. E. Wylie, president, and
W. C. Cauthen, secretary and ,
treasurer. The capital stock of j
the company is placed at $10,000. (
' Mr. Chas. T. Connors, who has

I <y BB ONE OF THE VERY BEST SEMI- (
WEEKLY PAPERS I.V T1IE STATE." I
From tbo Kershaw Era. (
Sentiment, of course, leads to i
] a regret that we shall no longer i
receive the regular visits of our
* contemporaries, the Lancaster <
1 Ledger, Review and Enterprise, i
r"*l lint we believe tbet the town and <
the stockholders will profit bj 4
the consolidation. There was i
not room enough in Lancaster for j
three papers to do a successful 1
^usiness. and is not an easy mat* 1
i-yfor any one to put forth the I
I \best effort in an unprofit- \
|! ^ ^business. t
I Any town will be helped by \
! giving good support to the home i
I .
paper. Good support will inspire
the very best effort and nothing
brings larger returns to a town
and its people than a live, up-to
dato paper.
The Lancaster News will be
the name of the new paper, which
will be edited by Mr. Chas. T.
Connors, who has been the editor
of the Review for a number of
years. He is well equipped both
in point of ability and by long
experience to do successful edi
torial work and we, therefore,
look for the Lancaster News to
be one the very best semi-weekly
papers in the State,
The Lancaster News has our
heartiest wishes for abundant
success.
"TERRITORY NOT LARQR KNOUOII TO
SUPPORT THREE PAPERS"
From ttao Rock Hill Herald.
It is announced that the three
Lancaster papers, the Review,
the Ledgei and the Enterpeise,
have been bought out and consolidated.
The new company
will be called the Lancaster
Publishing Company, and the
name of the new paper will be
the Lancaster News. The Capitol
RlnnL' will ha SlMtl (1(111 'I'lin
first issue of the new paper,which
will be a semi-weekly, eight
page, six column sheet, will ap
pear October 4th.
Mr. O. T. Connors, editor of
the Review will edit the new
paper, and Mr. J. M. Riddle, Jr.,
will be business manager.
Mayor Wylie will be president
of the company, and County
Treasurer VV. C. Cauthen, secre
tary and treasurer.
Editor Connors is an able and
energetic newspaper man and
Mr. Riddle,the business managers
is a young man of fine busines,
capacity, and the new enterprise
will no doubt do a good business
The Review, Ledger and Enterprise
were all nood papers and
received a liberal patronage from
the business houses of Lancaster,
but the territory is not large
enough to support three papers
and it is thought that one good
paper will be worth to the town
and community more than the
three have been.
UA COMMON-8EN81 MEROER."
From the Charleatou News and Courier.
The merging of the newspapers
in Lancaster, the Review, the
Ledger and the Enterprise, is an
event of some importance to the
newspaper men of South Carolina.
The success with which
Messrs. Connors, Clark and
Jarter have maintained the three
newspapers in a small county at
in excellent standard speaks
[dearly for the newspaper ability
if each, but under such conditions
it must have been disheartening
to attempt to produce first-rate
newspapers. Lancaster is just
Dig and strong enough for one
ireditable semi weekly such as
the "News" is to be, and hope is
that, for the journalism of the
State, its field will not be disputed.
Mr. A. J. Clark is the president
)f the near company and he is a
lewapaper man of recognized
character and attainments.- Mr.
Connors, who is to be the editor,
a one of the moat efficient news>aper
men, in aome particulars,
;hat we know of jn South Carolina.
Although his training has
seen limited in the main to a
weekly newspaper and to correipondence
for the daily newsDapers,
he haa become a reporter
who will rank with the best,
whether of the daily or weekly
preps.
With freedom to devote his
talent to news fathering and
writing and with the advice and
assistance of Mr. Clark, he will
be able to produce a newspaper
of which the Catawba region will
be proud, Mr. Carter, who has
printed a clean and creditable
uen^oaDer and whn linn ror>oi\7cwl
a full share of the support of
Lancaster, will, to the regret of
his friends all over the State, retire
from the business.
[Our esteemed Charleston contemporary
is in error as to the
president of the company. That
position is filled by Mr. R. E.
Wylie, Lancaster's popular mayor.
Mr. Clark is a member of
the board of directors.?Ed The

"UARDLY ROOM FOR ONE."
From the Yorkville Ktiquiror.
Information comes from Lancaster
to the elFect that the three
papers of that town, the Ledger.
Review and Enterprise, are to go
out of existence and be succeeded
by another paper which is to
make its appearance next week.
The new paper is to be an eight
page semi-weekly, and is to be
railed the Newa Thia orrotina
ment, as we understand it, has
been brought out by a long established
conviction on the part of
the Lancaster public that one
good newspaper would bo of
more value to the town and community
than three sorry # ones.
The respective editors of the
Ledger, Review and Enterprise
are all good newspaper men, but
it is a fact that their papers were
lacking in many essential requirements,
not so much through
the shortcoming of any one of
these gentlemen as through the
manifest impossibility of receiving
support for three papers in
a territory where there is hardly |
room for one. As things have I
been going each of the three!
papers have had about equal j
circulation, and largely among
the same people. Uuder conditions
where they had to send
their papers without authority in
order to get them circulated at
all, it has been next to impossible
to collect even a fair percentage
of the subscriptions. On the
other hand business people realizing
that an advertisement in
one accomplished practically the
same result as the same adver
hanmpnf i 11 all thrun
l?ll llilUU, ?OI J IltltUI*
ally declined to use all three ex
cept on a basis that would alFord
only a fairly reasonable rate for
one. The new arrangement, as
long as it stands, will no doubt
be a relief not only to the general
public; but especially to business
circles. However, we shall
he surprised if this consolidation
afFords a new remedy to
the situation. N > matter how
thoroughly any newspaper may
fill its field, there will always be
those who will think they can
do better, and Lancaster is not
going to be an exception.
