THE COUNTY RECORD.
THURSDAY. SEPT. 29. 1910.
A Big Journalistic Venture.
I? is persistently rumored that
efforts are being made to establish
another daily newspaper in Columbia.
The prime movers are said to
be the following persons: Mr(ieorge
K Koester, formerly editor of the
defunct Columbia Register and
later on, editor of the Columbia
Daily Record; Hon George R Rembert,
who led the [.egislative ticket
in the recent Richland primary.
Mr Rembert is also announced to
be the 'administration leader" on
'the tiour of the House, whatever
that may imply. A third active
promoter it- said to be Hon As-|
bury IF Lever, who recently suc'-xeifced
himself as the Democratic
nominee in the Seventh Congressional
district. That the Governorelect
will take a liberal block of
the stock goes without saying, and
hundreds of other admirers of
Governor Blease Mh in the city
and throughout the State would
doubtless invest some of their surplus
capital in the new venture.
Mr Koester is a clever and virile
newspaper writer and knows thoroughly
every detail of the making
of a daily newspaper. It is proposed,
they say, to start the enterprise
with a quarter ?>f a million
dollars capital. Should the venture
materialize there will Ik*
"something doing" in the Capital
( it>* to hark hack two decades
to the Tillman regime. The State,
then a struggling infant,yet, withal,
a journalis ie prodigy, fought its j
way successfully against odds that
looked overwhelming. The State
is now prohahly the l?est paying
piece of newspaper property in
South Carolina, and, hy the way,!
it has lost none of its militant
powers. As a business pn?jx?sition
we would hesitate to sell stock in
he established newspaper, even at
<t hi}; premium, to re-invest the
proceeds in any other ?laily news-!
paper that might U* launehed in
Columbia.
T?> a "looker on in Vienna"
there <ppear to lie other fields
where sueh a venture would till
a "long felt want" in this respect
far I?etter than the opportunity
offered at the Capital City, al!
tilings considered. Two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars looks
like an almost inexhaustible capital,
but in our humble opinion,
...
it would take that amount several
times over to put the State
newspaper out of business or
even serii us!y cripple it.
An inveterate Inxister does not
always prove an effective l?ooster.
To affect to despise printers' ink
seems to l>e tbe shrewdest way to
get free advertising.

The way the signs point there
will he a Smith presiding over
each house of the next State legislature
Governor Elect Blease may
"cuss" the newspapers, but that
does not prevent his press agent
from working ov*r time.
' We hear many people pronounce
the name of the new Governor as
though it were spelled Bleece; the
"s" has a "z" sound; and the
name Blease is properly pronounced
as if spelled Bleeze.
Solicitor J Monroe Spears of Darlington
has announced that he will
he a candidate for f Congress in
the Sixth district in 1912 and it
has also l>een intimated that Senator
J W McCown of Florence will
enter the field. Both these prospective
candidates are strong campaigners
and will make things
warm for the present incumlient
should they adhere to their present
intention.
With a clean political record, one
of the l>est informed constitutional
lawyers of the State and, withal, a
brilliant parliamentarian, besides
being posses>ed of a presiding dignity
that enhances the force of his
rulings, Hon Mendel L Smith is
probably as well fitted for the
high and honorable position of
Speaker of the House as any man
in South Carolina. With such
material available it is to l>e hoped
that the House of Representatives
will not allow blind partianship
to oltscure good judgment in se
lecting their presiding ottieer.
A stock-holder of the Pennsylvania
railroad has made formal
demand upon the officials of the
company for information as to an
alleged indebtedness t<> the road
by Theodore Ko??sevelt incurred
while the latter was President of
the I'nited States by going on
junketing tours. The total mileage
traveled over the Pennsylvania on
these tours is said t?> have lieen
over (R),000 miles on private ears,
amounting t?? over S100,(HX>, for
which the railroad has never lieen
oaid one cent. Complaint is rife
among the small stork-holders,
who are urging the ottieials to
take steps to recover what is due
the road. The Southern railroad
also is said to have claims against
the former President aggregating

Mr Motley has Appendicitis.
Mr D E Motley was taken with
appendicitis Sunday. His condition
being very serious, on Monday he
was carried to Florence to the McLeod
infirmary, where prompt diagnosis
disclosed the fact that an immediate
operation was necessary to
save his life. The operation was
accordingly performed as soon as
possible and we understand that he
rallied very well from the shock. At

proportion of independent Republi- '
cans for their candidate.

named as his private secretary Mr j
Alexander C Rowland of Columbia.

then moved to Salt Lake City and
later to Columbia,where he has lived
