The Size of a Newspaper
Thf> Tampa Tribune which was re
cently bought by a syndicate of
Tampa men was founded in 1893 by
Colonel Wallace F. Stovall who came
from Kentucky seven years before.'
When he decided to start the daily
in Tampa he had no money, but; bor
rowing $500 he began publication and
gradually built up the paper as the
West Coast grew until the Tribune
brought! $1,200,000 cash at the re
cent sale.
The size of a newspaper, materially
and financially, depends upon the size
of its field. About 1880 William R.
Nelson started the Kansas City Star
in the Missouri town of that name
on a capital as tfmall as Colonel
Stovall. Nelson used to carry tke
hews print .from the express office
to the printing office because he
couldn't spare the twenty-five cents
for a drayman. But with good jour
nalistic ethics in a growing field, Nel
son built up his paper -until it was
one of the best payihg papers in the
.world. It is worth eight or ten mil
lion dollars. Twenty-five years ago
Arthur Aull started a *daily paper
in Lamar, Mo., a town of about 3,000.
?His work made it conspicuous. Since
then the town has shrunk to 2,300
and the county has also shrunk in
population,* but the editor continues
to publish his daily patfer. Had the
paper been located in a growing in
stead of a shrinking community, the
result of Aull's conscientious editor
dal_ labor would have been a news
paper property worth, say a million,
like the Tampa Tribune or ten .mil
lion like the Kansas City Star.
The moral is' that a good news
paper serves its community and sur
vives, but the measure of its ser
vice is not reflected in the sijte of
the paper. Many a publisher who
has-' Ably and faithfully served his
public for a life1 time finds at the
end of that time that he has accumu
lated nothing by ^jay of reward ex
cept the knowledge of having stayed
at bis post and done hie full duty
service which in growing com
"munities makes the publisher a rich

SOME DRY SPHIXS
Files III Old Paper Sho^l Some
Interesting Data
Greenwood, June .10.? The present
dry "spoil" is a piker compared to
figures published in 1883 by a 'hews -
paper, a clipping from which was fur
nished The Index-Journal by Mrs. K.
M. Fuller. The clipping, supposedly
from an Abbeville or Augusta paper,
was handed down in the Britt fain
ily by James K. Hritt of the McCor
mick* section, who died in 1880.
I nder the heading "Dry Spells,"
the paper enumerate droughts from
1 6:2 1 tO 188$ and points out the year
17t>2 as the driest that ever occurred
in America when no rain fell from
the f??*st of May to the first of Sep
tember, making 123 days without rain.
The old newspaper report follows
iu full:
Dry Spells? ^Dry spells are all the
ttxVk now. Those who think that the.
dry spell in every summer is the
longest ever known will do well to
read the following:
In the summer of 1621, 21 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer' of 1830, 41 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1657, 75 days.]
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1662, 80 days
in succession without rain.
in the summer of 1674, ' 45- days
in succession without rain, '
In the summer of 1638, 81 (Lays

In the summer of 1604, 62 days

In the summer of 1705, lit flays

In the summer of 1715, 46 days

In the sujnmer of 1728, 61 days

In the summer of 1730, 02 days

In the summer of 174F, 72 days

In the summer of 1740, 108 days

... . ^
In the summer of 1755, 42 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer ?rf 1762, 123 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1773, 80 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1701, 82 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1802, 23 days
in succession without rain.
In "the summer of 1812, ? 2H ? days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1856, 24 days

In the summer of 1871, 42 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1875, 26 days
in succession without rain.
In the summer of 1876, 26 days
jn succession without rain.
It will be seen that the longest
draught that ever occurred in Amer
ica was in the summer of 1762.' No
rain fell from the first of May to
the first of September, making 123
days without rain. Many of the in
habitants sent to England for hay
and grain. This year 56 days have
elapsed between ? rains, and a little
sprinkling only spoiled a record of
68 day?. " . . .
The Old Lifrwtype .
The Department. of Agricul>ure re
cently prepared pne of its customary
bulletins oif oats, but the linotype
operator , took a notion he would
glancd^way from his keyboard while
setting up the type, and he struck
the letter "C" instead of the letter
"O" with the result that the depart
ment turned out a bulletin on "Cats"
when the proof-readers were, also,
asleep at their desks.
, Only a. few of the bulletins got
into the mails before the mistake
was discbvered, but from these some
rather interesting facts are ' discov
ered as to the importance of the
"cat' crop" -of this country.
We are told that the "cat crop
ranks third in importance in the
United States. Cats traditionally
constitute the banner horse feed of
the world, and 3 per cent is used
for human consumption."
It seems, according to the bulletin,
that catSvare subject to some strange
disease, such as "swut, stem rust
and crown rust," then fellows a dis
course on wild cats, broken cats, and
wilted and withered cats. The latter
kind can often be seen along the
roads just aft^r an automobiJe has
passed.
An Unusual Sentence
It remained for a North Carolina
judge to do the unusual. Thomas
Baker, a mill employe of Kannapo
lis, having been found guilty of op
erating an automobile while under
[ the influence of liquor, must spend
to Xn neit ttti weeks *n the county
jail. Stating he did not wish to
deprive Baker's family of his sup*
'port, Judge Cogffns ordered him to
report to the jailer every Saturday
at 2 o'clock to be confined until 7
p. m, tfee following day for a period
of So weeks. fie was clso fined $60.
