I NEWSPAPERS CONSOLIDATE. Only One Paper Pays in Small Towns and a Bare Living in That. Solicitor Spears and Mr A G Kollock have consolidated their papers, the Darlington Press and the Darlington News. Mr Kollock is to be president of the new company, Mr Spears vicepresident and general manager, and M C Kilgo secretary. Mr Kilgo was the assistant editor of the Press. This consolidation is another evidence that there is not room in a small town for two papers. Papers are being consolidated, or the weaker ones driven out of ousmess, everywucic cav.c^i m the very large cities. Even in places like Columbia, Charleston, Charlotte, Wilmington, Raleigh and Richmond, it has been proved that there can be ' but one successful paper in the same field, that is but one morning and one evening paper. There is now but one newspaper office in Bennettsville Darlington, Florence, Marion, Kingstree, Manning, Chester- ( field, Cheraw, Dillon, Rockingham, Laurinburg, Maxton, Lura- 1 berton or Fayetteville, although there have at times been two or more papers in each of these towns. i There is always a dissatisfied element in every town that think 1 there ought to be another paper ] run to suit their tastes. Occa- { sionally they get to the point of i putting up the money to start a ( new paper. But unless they have the unlimited capital, tact, , patience and endurance to drive < the old established paper out of 1 business (which hardly ever ? .happens) they usually go to the 4 after a few months or years , of unsuccessful effort to make * ends meet. The newspaper business es- * pecially in small towns, is large- J ly a labor of love, anyhow. The editor of the Advocate has spent < the best years of his life on the paper, and is no doubt poorer than he would have been had he never attempted its publication. Most of the income has been spent in paying expenses and improving the plant. Whatever property we have accumulated has been through other work and investments. We congratulate friends Kollock and Spears upon their good judgment in consolidating instead of lighting each other. We also congratulate Darlington, for the combined interests can give them a better paper than either could have done separately.?Pee Pec Advocate. - M.JUUa Medicine inai is incuitmr.

The day returns and brings us the petty round irritating concerns and duties. H us to play the man, help us to pe. form them with laughter and kin< faces, let cheerfuluess abound with industry. Give us to awake withji smiles, give us to labor smiling. Give us health, food, bright weather, and light hearts. Let us lie down;1 without fear and awase ana arise, with exaltation. Grant us courage j to endure lesser ills unshaken, and(i accept death, loss and disappoint-1 raent as it were straws upon the tide of life. When day returns, return | to us our sun aud comforter, and call us up with morning faces and i morning hearts?eager to labor? eager to be happy if happiness shall ( be our portion?and if the day be marked with sorrow, strong to endure it. ?
