‘Newspaper Mortality.”
e
Under the above caption, Monday’s
issue of The News and jCourier con
tained an editorial that should be
read by every subscriber of The
Barnwell People-Sentinel, cftpecially
those who may think that newspapers
can continue to exist on the scale of
prices charged several years ago,
when the cost of production was
comparatively cheap as compared
with today’s cost?. The editorial in

is well that the public should know
the causes back of this-mortality and
the Daily Mail, which is itself a very
live and vigorous publication but
which knows what it is talking about,
gives the right cue. It says:

record is for the United States plants
alone and does not include foreign

with this remarkable production is
that the company is exceeding ' its

of the newspaper business in South

This is a situation of interest, as (
we have suggested, to the public as ‘
well as to newspaper people; for the ,
Daily Mail is absolutely correct when
and outrageously treated, and all by
ununiformed men who said afterward
that they were officers of the law. It
has been a stinging shame and a hu
