NEWSPAPERS CONSOLIDATE.
Only One Paper Pays in Small Towns
and a Bare Living in That.
Solicitor Spears and Mr A G
Kollock have consolidated their
papers, the Darlington Press
and the Darlington News. Mr
Kollock is to be president of the
new company, Mr Spears vicepresident
and general manager,
and M C Kilgo secretary. Mr
Kilgo was the assistant editor
of the Press.
This consolidation is another
evidence that there is not room
in a small town for two papers.
Papers are being consolidated,
or the weaker ones driven out of
ousmess, everywucic cav.c^i m
the very large cities. Even in
places like Columbia, Charleston,
Charlotte, Wilmington,
Raleigh and Richmond, it has
been proved that there can be '
but one successful paper in the
same field, that is but one morning
and one evening paper.
There is now but one newspaper
office in Bennettsville
Darlington, Florence, Marion,
Kingstree, Manning, Chester- (
field, Cheraw, Dillon, Rockingham,
Laurinburg, Maxton, Lura- 1
berton or Fayetteville, although
there have at times been two or
more papers in each of these
towns. i
There is always a dissatisfied
element in every town that think 1
there ought to be another paper ]
run to suit their tastes. Occa- {
sionally they get to the point of i
putting up the money to start a (
new paper. But unless they
have the unlimited capital, tact, ,
patience and endurance to drive <
the old established paper out of 1
business (which hardly ever ?
.happens) they usually go to the 4
after a few months or years ,
of unsuccessful effort to make *
ends meet.
The newspaper business es- *
pecially in small towns, is large- J
ly a labor of love, anyhow. The
editor of the Advocate has spent <
the best years of his life on the
paper, and is no doubt poorer
than he would have been had he
never attempted its publication.
Most of the income has been
spent in paying expenses and
improving the plant. Whatever
property we have accumulated
has been through other work
and investments.
We congratulate friends Kollock
and Spears upon their good
judgment in consolidating instead
of lighting each other.
We also congratulate Darlington,
for the combined interests
can give them a better paper
than either could have done
separately.?Pee Pec Advocate.

Medicine inai is incuitmr.
"I have suffered a good deal with
malaria and stomach complaints, but j

A Prayer.
Give us courage and gaiety and
the quiet mind. The day returns
and brings us the petty round
irritating concerns and duties. H
us to play the man, help us to pe.
form them with laughter and kin<
faces, let cheerfuluess abound with
industry. Give us to awake withji
smiles, give us to labor smiling.
Give us health, food, bright weather,
and light hearts. Let us lie down;1
without fear and awase ana arise,
with exaltation. Grant us courage j
to endure lesser ills unshaken, and(i
accept death, loss and disappoint-1
raent as it were straws upon the tide
of life. When day returns, return |
to us our sun aud comforter, and
call us up with morning faces and i
morning hearts?eager to labor?
eager to be happy if happiness shall (
be our portion?and if the day be
marked with sorrow, strong to endure
it. ? Robert Louis Stereo sou.
