fcc fgecaO anis 1 m Entered at the Postoffice at New rry, S. C., as 2nd class matter, E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday. December S, 1914. "It may rain tomorrow, but, say n't it fine today?" Have you caught the spirit of ilia1, atiment yet? If you have not you . :e losing half of your existence. ..'ake up and get in the running. Cooperate and assist?not criticize a find fault?Fra Elbertus. That is a true saying and as the iristmas time approaches try to *' <" I'i?- Ti U ^ . lKe it part 01 your me. 11 may ue ard "but toe effort will help you wonrfully. t > Ylhile we advocate trading at 'home m Ji* our home merchants, we believe <: reoi'proca! relations and it .would no bad idea for the merchants to y\\ a like appreciation of their home : wspapers and job printing offices 1 have their printing done at home. "? are sure the editors spend an tne .ney they get with the home inerints, except what tney have to spend r paper. Money sent away for job nting never gets back to Newberry 1 is therefore taken out of the ctan"s of trade in Newberry. i There are two pretty good job print offices in this town if we do make e remark. . ? j It must be said that most of the . ^rchants do give whlat little job mting they have to the two job .ices in Newberry, and it is right. The suggestion is made that at tt-e . eefcing of the ginners association to ; held in Memphis the first of Janary, if the price o>: lint and seed do - :>t advance that each gin in the i i jited States be nailed up in 1915 as . son as it has ginner one hall: th# . mber of bales ginned in 1914?that ; V?* . * *'1 oAowinlr Kn Tio/inc TV HPh PT" P Will [ .

We saw in the paper e aw day that it would bring 16 to ' > cents and that it would not be x .-nsidered contraband of war. That merchant marine that they cussed r Dbson about soi^e years ago would j ^ a good thing now. About the time j e cotton is ail out of the hcinds of j i.e farmer the price will aJ/ance. J . . t Mr. Farmer has caught a pretty j i :t hold and it will tke an earthake to shake him loose. The world ..3ds our cotton for clothes unless . jy are to adopt ue fig leaf style. ! TOWN AND IT'S NEWSPAPERS. It requires a let of money, brains d hard work to buiid up even a all newspaper?yet there is a pop_ir idea that newspapers are to be j r rvnt nf hnsidpsc hv ti>.p turning I . .vn of the thumbs. The country j oers themselves are, in a measure, 7 rhaps, to blame for this attitude of j public, in that they are seldom lducted on a business basis in f .e all towns, but allow themselves fro imposed upon by any and every erest in tne community, which ving used them to their gain and !si action, without cost, regard 3m as worthy of littjk recognition or ?port. The zeal of the country vspaper to be of service and confute as it may to the material ogress of the community in which is published is, in a measure, re? onsible for tl:e ease with which ** ? iin/\n Vviif t Vi ic? O I 'y die liiipuscu upuu, UUt UitiC 10 ?. I undary where public support and .) country editor's good will toward > community should meet in mu'1 respect. After towns reach a certain ptfpu~ on, there comes the newspaper, ; . 1 it comes to stay. Under one nagement or another it is there. * = town's newspaper is just as :h a fixture as its post office or its * lk, yet the country newspaper is awed to lead a stray dogs life year and year out, while the. bank or * postoffice is established in corntable and permanent quarters. It a fact that there is no institution -.t can contribute so materially to * progress of any community than newspaper. Though it may be msnea in a very snun lown, me ?rld is its field and if the energy / ' , 1 brains are fostered and encoured by public support it can put its vn on the map. Who ever heard of Emperia. nsas, until William Allen White i. blished The Gazette tfcere? . v L The above article we think we clipped from the editorial column of the Spartanburg Herald. It is so true that we want tc pass it on to this community. What would you t.ink o your town if there was no newspaper i nUiiclKul it ^ TMinvn orn ill H .1. 1* V 1 V* U1 t no douibt, right here in Xewberrv wno - would be delighted to see one or t' e , other, or probably both, of the newspapers pass from the present editors. That is personal. There are people right here who do not even show sufficient interest in keeping a newspaper in t'.:e town to pay the pitiful sum of three cents a -week to have one delivered at their door twice a week. That is not personal. If all were like them there would he no j newspapers here. And many times these non-suhscribers are the most severe critics o>. the editors. We do not object to that. We rather like j it, because if they would not subscribe ! j and pay for the paper we are glad, ; I at least, that they will show enough j I. : j interest to.read it. ! If there is some enterprise ti'.:at ii ' ; j is desired-.to boo$t or. get under'way,'I ; the- men interested come to the news- | i paper for help, but after havi.\ used | the newspapers "to their gain and sat- j isfac-tion, widiout cost, regard them I I as worthy of little recognition or sup-! i port." It is true that the newspapers i | are themselves responsible for the ' ' ease with which thev are imposed I I l i upon. It is true, also, as the Hera:d j I | says, t/:at there should be "a boundary j | where public support and the country j f editor's good will toward his commun-1 ! ity should meet in mutual respect, i i I It is i.urtner true that tLe country > i : . i l editor, after he has been used by the; community as a sort of door mat' "is i | allowed to lead a stray dog's Ifie year j ! in and year out, while the bank, or the postoffice is established in comfortable and permanent.quarters.?'I Well, we are glad it is no worse, j When it comes to business, as a *rule the country editor is a failure.. He % has too many things to do ever to become. .a. good business man.. Fortunately he is generally an optimist. He has to be. He must always see the bright side of the shield, otherwise j his would be a miserable existence, j If there is any free job hanging around the country editor is the first man suggested. If there is one with a good salary he is never considered. He is to blame. He does not place any value upon the only merchandise Le has for sale?the space in his newspaper?or if he does it is always below cost. Just fcow Le manages is a mystery. If he criticises any institution or , public official he is mean and is us- ; ing his paper to vent some personal i feeling. If he agrees with every one i and only says pleasant things- he is j weak and vacillating. Well, the best1 fhincr tn rln is tr\ ssv what vnii think, i ? vx' " Trr! ?nd always try to think right. And at; all times be fair and just and speak the truth. 11 After all it is about as good a job as any. It gives one a <*ine oppor% 1 tunity to study and to know human nature. He must never expect to have wealth but f.e ?&n 'have the satisfaction of serving his day and generation j; and he can live in his caibin -by the 1 < side of the road and be a friend to I . 1 man, and that is more than some with | their millions can do or have. If fcere ! was no thorn on the rose bush the rose itself would not be half so 1 sweet. 1 Pufolzc Sales. j' i Monday^ being December salesday, Alaster H. H.
