say that, in proportion to its finan
cial means, a live paper gives at
least five times as much to advance
the interests of a town as any of^its
business men. it matters not how
enterprising they are. The writer
has often wondered how it is that
the business men. especially the
merchants, have such a poor con
ception of the value of a good paper
and how much they really owe it in
the way of support.
As the writer f» well acquainted
with the history of every newspaper
that has ever been published in
Darlington, he has no hesitation in
saying that T hp News and Press, un
der its present management, has
done more to build up the business)
interests of the town and county
than any of its predecessors; and h'-
Our merchants should bear in
mind that some of the greatest for
tunes in America have been built up
entirely by persistent advertising,
and this, too, is responsible for a
great many smaller ones. also. Tjie
business men of Darlington are gen-,’
erous - when It comes to giving mon
ey for other purposes, but nearly all
of-them are very remiss in support
ing one of the most important en-'
terprises that w.e have, and that is
