Joh Printing. . ? I 'i *y The Lexington Dispatch, j Wednesday, March 27,1907. Few "Jto Taos." The Columbia Record laments the fact that the editorial columns of most country newspapers are weak, many of them containing no editorial matter j at all. The charge is very largely true. Many weekly newspaper men do not write editorials, yet as a rule they are well informed men, holding definite opinions on subjects which occupy the public mind. We are glad to say that we know of very few if any "me toos" in South Carolina i journalism. But they do not write j their opinions ior tneir newspapers, i and this largely explained by the statement that many of the countryeditors are also practical printers and they devote too much time to the mechanical part of their offices. But they can't help.it, for the income is not sufficient oftentimes to employ tl^e necesssary help and pay living wajges, and as a consequence the editor has to be the * 'handy man" around the office, doing everything from sweeping the floor to making up forms and doing job work. Too often he has to be chasing around for money to pay off with, meeting with disappointments all along the way, and his -min/1 ia nrv nriTiflitirm tn frrinrl Ollt JLLLlllVl IO Ail liv vu"w*w4Vi* ww q editorial matter which is live and strong and readable. The point is that there are two many newspapers, and that is what we started out to say. Take many of the towns in this State, and there are two and some times more newspapers occupying the field, when there is only a good living for one. As a consequence there are two or more weak newspapers, struggling for existence, where only one could be published profitably and be a credit to the town and county. And we look for a thinning out before very long. With the prices of printing material daily growing and labor conditions becoming more and more unsettled and few boys being learned the printing business in, country offices, several newspapers cannot exist. pe1 This may seem something of a calamity, but it will really be the best thing s<?<" that could happen, both for the public md the newspapers.?The Bamberg an< Herald.
