A comn mittee of three was also appointed to hold a conference .with a paper buying concern to' see if ay arrangements could be made whereby it couIld sup Ply the publishers of the state wvitlh print paper. The meeting was called to A. B. Jordan, Dillon, president of 4 . South Carolina Press association, and was inltendeld to be of special benefit to those papers whose stocks of print paper are running low. The shortage of flat print paper is generally recog nizedi as being serious and as threat ening the very existence of many of the smaller papers of the state, arnd this meeting wvas held to consider plans for meeting the situation. The meeting was attended by only a few publishers and practically all of those present said that they had pa ier on hand suflicient to supply themi for a few months. The publishers who are known to have stocks sufficient for only a few more issues for some rea sonl dlid not put in an apipearance. President .Jordan called the meeting to ordler about 2:30 o'clock and brief ly outlined the facts of the situation, Baying that pobbing houses haves with drawn quotations and that even now print paper is dliflicult to secure at any price.

After considerable discussion it was decided to see if some plan could not be arranged by which every publisher in the state would agree to take so - many tons of paper per year and that H all of this paper be bought through sonic paper broker in South Carolina. A committee o fthree was appointed e to investigate this matter. A resolution was also adopted rec ommnendling that all publishers fix their advertising rates on the follow - ing scale; 20 cents per inch for the first thousand of circulation; 12 1- 9 cents additional (or 32 1-2 cents) for the second thousand and '7 1-2 cents - adlditional for the third thousand. While it was recognized that this increase was considlerable, it was coui sidered necessary in order to keep the paipers living. The meeting adjourned after the adoption of the resolutions.
