All Druggists' E.I12 The Size of a Newspaper Thf> Tampa Tribune which was re cently bought by a syndicate of Tampa men was founded in 1893 by Colonel Wallace F. Stovall who came from Kentucky seven years before.' When he decided to start the daily in Tampa he had no money, but; bor rowing $500 he began publication and gradually built up the paper as the West Coast grew until the Tribune brought! $1,200,000 cash at the re cent sale. The size of a newspaper, materially and financially, depends upon the size of its field. About 1880 William R. Nelson started the Kansas City Star in the Missouri town of that name on a capital as tfmall as Colonel Stovall. Nelson used to carry tke hews print .from the express office to the printing office because he couldn't spare the twenty-five cents for a drayman. But with good jour nalistic ethics in a growing field, Nel son built up his paper -until it was one of the best payihg papers in the .world. It is worth eight or ten mil lion dollars. Twenty-five years ago Arthur Aull started a *daily paper in Lamar, Mo., a town of about 3,000. ?His work made it conspicuous. Since then the town has shrunk to 2,300 and the county has also shrunk in population,* but the editor continues to publish his daily patfer. Had the paper been located in a growing in stead of a shrinking community, the result of Aull's conscientious editor dal_ labor would have been a news paper property worth, say a million, like the Tampa Tribune or ten .mil lion like the Kansas City Star. The moral is' that a good news paper serves its community and sur vives, but the measure of its ser vice is not reflected in the sijte of the paper. Many a publisher who has-' Ably and faithfully served his public for a life1 time finds at the end of that time that he has accumu lated nothing by ^jay of reward ex cept the knowledge of having stayed at bis post and done hie full duty service which in growing com "munities makes the publisher a rich HiafJT irf the en^- ?

The present dry "spoil" is a piker compared to figures published in 1883 by a 'hews - paper, a clipping from which was fur nished The Index-Journal by Mrs. K. M. Fuller. The clipping, supposedly from an Abbeville or Augusta paper, was handed down in the Britt fain ily by James K. Hritt of the McCor mick* section, who died in 1880. I nder the heading "Dry Spells," the paper enumerate droughts from 1 6:2 1 tO 188$ and points out the year 17t>2 as the driest that ever occurred in America when no rain fell from the f??*st of May to the first of Sep tember, making 123 days without rain. The old newspaper report follows iu full: Dry Spells? ^Dry spells are all the ttxVk now. Those who think that the. dry spell in every summer is the longest ever known will do well to read the following: In the summer of 1621, 21 days in succession without rain. In the summer' of 1830, 41 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1657, 75 days.] in succession without rain. In the summer of 1662, 80 days in succession without rain. in the summer of 1674, ' 45- days in succession without rain, ' In the summer of 1638, 81 (Lays in succession without rain. In the summer of 1604, 62 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1705, lit flays in succession without rain. In the summer of 1715, 46 days in succession without rain. In the sujnmer of 1728, 61 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1730, 02 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 174F, 72 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1740, 108 days in succession without rain. ? ? ... . ^ In the summer of 1755, 42 days in succession without rain. In the summer ?rf 1762, 123 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1773, 80 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1701, 82 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1802, 23 days in succession without rain. In "the summer of 1812, ? 2H ? days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1856, 24 days in succession without/rain. In the summer of 1871, 42 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1875, 26 days in succession without rain. In the summer of 1876, 26 days jn succession without rain. It will be seen that the longest draught that ever occurred in Amer ica was in the summer of 1762.' No rain fell from the first of May to the first of September, making 123 days without rain. Many of the in habitants sent to England for hay and grain. This year 56 days have elapsed between ? rains, and a little sprinkling only spoiled a record of 68 day?. " . . . The Old Lifrwtype . The Department. of Agricul>ure re cently prepared pne of its customary bulletins oif oats, but the linotype operator , took a notion he would glancd^way from his keyboard while setting up the type, and he struck the letter "C" instead of the letter "O" with the result that the depart ment turned out a bulletin on "Cats" when the proof-readers were, also, asleep at their desks. , Only a. few of the bulletins got into the mails before the mistake was discbvered, but from these some rather interesting facts are ' discov ered as to the importance of the "cat' crop" -of this country. We are told that the "cat crop ranks third in importance in the United States. Cats traditionally constitute the banner horse feed of the world, and 3 per cent is used for human consumption." It seems, according to the bulletin, that catSvare subject to some strange disease, such as "swut, stem rust and crown rust," then fellows a dis course on wild cats, broken cats, and wilted and withered cats. The latter kind can often be seen along the roads just aft^r an automobiJe has passed. An Unusual Sentence It remained for a North Carolina judge to do the unusual.
