AN FRKONFOUS IMPKKSSION. We note with regret that some of the newspaiters In this State and lii North Carolina have gone to the wall. This, of course, occurs In the best of business times, but right at this time the newspapers generally are being bit on account of the lack of advertising. This Is true not only of the small coun ty papers. but also of some of the large dallies, and at the tremendous expense to which they are put for cable and telegraphic service we would not be surprised to see some of them go under If the war keeps up for some time to come. In this connection, It is wonderful what ideas some people net in regard to newspapers. A party speaking to the writer recently said "Well. 1 don't know of anybody who is making more money out of Ibis war proposition than the newspapers." <>n being asked how he llgured this out be stated that they were selling so many more palters on account of the war news. When ask ed if he realized how much advertising was off. and that In these circum stances the additional copies were an expense on the publishers, he said he had never thought of that. He also said he bad never thought of the ad vertisements paying for the publishing of a newspaper, or flint tills little amount for his subscription hardly paid for the blank paper on which his paper was printed. There arc numbers of others. Intelligent men, who do not real ize that if It was not for the advertise ments a newspaper like The Record would cost them at least or $10 per year ? Kock Hill Record. I vet's Make This a (Jood I .oolong Town. If every man who reads ibis ? and every woman, t<n> ? would make ii bis or her business, the next hour be or she lias, to look around the home prem ises and see how they could 'be tlxed Up to look ltetter it would be a great thing for Ibis town. It might not iu duce people to do any more than rake - ny> the sticks that are lying around.

And. as you would want to make a com plete job of it, you would see that these repairs are made. Maybe the house has needed a new <-??at of paint for a J long time. Perhaps new Curtains are; needed at the front windows. And the inside of the house Is quite as important as the outside? is more im portant. for It is on the inside you live and where visitors .get their real im pression of you and of the town. May be before you get through. If you will really look about you there will be sev eral things that can be made to look vastly better with the aid of a few boards or nails or a little varnish or a small expenditure of money.

If the cotton producing slates were getting Vi ecntH for their cotton they would buy all of the upplea he could raise, The low price of cotton does not only hurt the cot tou ralKcr, It hurts everybody Kven the .cotton will man, because he cannot Hell his goods' to the merchant because the merchant cannot sell them to the farmer, for the simple fact tht< farmers are not getting the cost of pro duction. The low price of cotton hurts all grades and all classes of people It hurts the preacher, the doctor, the lawyer, thy merchant, the mill man. the railroad man, the wheat and corn misers. You cannot mention any bus Iness or any person that the low price of cotton doeM not hurt. YVhyrMr. Kd Itor, It. even hurts you. ' Now, Mr. Apple <j rower, I fwl ver,\ sorry for you Indeed to think you have fuch little sense as not to want, cotton to go up. If cotton does not go up yon will, and almost everybody else will suffer. 1 cannot see why the corn ami wheat producing states would object to the government helping to raise the price of cotton. If cotton was bring ing 12c, all business would bo on a iKKtiu. I cannot see why the people cannot realise that fact, because it i;. all too true. My remedy for the big crop of cotton Is for every farmer to make his farm self sustaining and that alone will solve the cotton problem.
