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.
Thai would be a great help alone.
; But maybe while' raking up the loose
leaves you would tind there .is a loose
board oil the sidewalk, a broken picket
In the fence, that the corner of the
porch has sagged or that the front
?teps need a new plank In them. 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. Col
lectively the effect on this town will
l>e great. There 1 sno economy in let

people to buy a barrel of apple*. 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

because the merchant cannot sell them

farmers are not getting the cost of pro

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

Iness or any person that the low price
