An open letter has been addressed by the South Carolina Press association to advertising patrons and readers of newspapers, advising that newspapers must either advance subscription and advertising rates, or discontinue publication, says The State. The committee emphasizes that the price of print paper has advanced during the last eight months from $48 a ton to $130. It is further argued that paper in some instances is almost unobtainable, even at this price; some wholesale houses UnvttM/w n/\mA fr\ nti/] oa?v*a Having i iui iv/ i,\j unci auvt ouiuc mills refusing to make new contracts. "We are now paying from 50 to 500 per cent, more for paper stock, inks, metal, type and other things used in the publishing business than we were eight months ago. The only thing that will save the newspapers of South Carolina is an advance of advertising and subscription rates." A meeting of the association was held in Columbia last Friday, when a committee was appointed, to prepare a public statement. Members of the committee are: 0. K. Williams. Rock Hill; J. L. Mims, Edgefield, and W. J. Irwin, Chester. To Prevent Accidents. Motorists are being more cautioned of the danger of crossing railroad tracks by the "barber pole" signs which have been erected on all Southern Railway crossings in a further effort to attract attention of reckless automobile drivers and to prevent accidents at crossings. The new device painted on crossing gates is in accordance with the standard recommended by the American Railway Association, and consists of alternate black and white stripes eight inches wide, running at an angle of 45 degrees, which gives the familiar "barber-pole" effect. The Other Fellow's Responsibility. A subscriber to The Times, residing in a State whose citizenship is about equally divided between the Democratic and Re 1-1 A puujican parues, senas us ine following poem which is dedicated to the "man who wants the other man to shoulder his responsibility": "There are fellows who will sit around and cuss and cuss, just because Woodrow won't do thus and thus?but when he calls for men to go and help to whip old Mexico, you cry and twist and squirm and whine, and have all diseases from rupture to curvature of the spine. You are great patriots who sit around in the shade?some of you will neither hoe nor spade. You make fun of men who think and do; the country would go to the devil if it had to depend on you. Thank God for men with nervemen who are willing their country to serve, in place of men who uif o VAi in/1 onrl otioo i?l/l M nui/U. U1V Ot \'U11V4 C4IIVI VUCO vm iUCAH u, and then when duty calls are too d ? cowardly to go." Better Drop It. The Record is sorry to note that those who have been engineering the "Catawba County" proposition are reported as having determined to go before the novt aACuirm nf 1 A _ iivav wvwuiv/1 a vi tl iv, vJCIIVI ai nosembly and ask for the repeal of the "ill-formed counties act." We believe there is a better plan that will more largely benefit this community and that is to drop all ideas of a new county, and ask the people of the Great Falls and Fort Lawn sections to annex themselves to York county. We believe this action would more largely benefit this section than would a new county. Build that Seaboard connection and give those people over there a direct route to Rock Hill, and we would all of us soon see the benefit of tha proposed plan. - Rock Hill Record. I <?.
