NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS.

( fThe Claiborne Guardian intimates
very strongly that it may be forced to
resort to the disagreeable measure of
Epublishing the names of all delinquent
subscribers unless they come up and !
settle. Many years ago this was done
by at least one paper in this State. 1t
called it the black list and had an in
yerted rule before and after it.
A better plan, aud one that all news
papers should adopt, is to discontinue
the paper SO soon as the time for which
it is paid has expired. No paper can
be successful without the rigid enforce
ment of this rule. Men who pay
promptly, when called on, at the end
of the year should not object to or be
offended by this rule, and yet they
would be. By the present system at
least 25 per cent is lost, and even those
who pay rarely send the money to the
Office, but wait to be called upon by
the agent, and this costs the publisher
% per cent of the remaining rs per
cent. Here is clear loss of more than
half. When Congress passed law re-
quiring publishers to prepay postage it
was supposed that it would have at
I least this good effect-it would force
i them to require advance payment. 1t
was bad enough to send a paper to a
man for three or four years for nothing
but worse to be compelled to pay his
postage too. The desired result was
not accomplished, and many news
4 papers keep up the same old ruinous
policy, the Times among the number.
There is fellow in Texas Eve are
sore!y tempted to give his nancy who
has been taking the Times for four
years without paying cent. Not
long since his bill was sent out; no res
ponse was received from him. In
stead there came the usual notice from

: cheek for you. The rascal amiably
took the paper from the Office for-four
!, years. but when the bill was sent, no
doubt, he became virtuously indig-
nant.
We have determined, at the begin
ming Of the next year, to adopt this
!, rule, and if our old friends become Of
Tended we will have to stand it. It is
utterly impracticable to make any ex-
Iceptions, as the business manager is
not likely to know many Of the SUBJ
scribers personally-whether they are
good or not-and he has entire control
} of that department of the paper. II
