We were once sitting in an editor
lal Office. A very rich man came
in. He owed $50 on the paper for
years of subscription. The editor
WAS very hard up as said rich man
kUcw. He took in the situation and
naganimously handed over $50, in
part pay ment leaving SIC still due
that ought to have been paid in
advance.
That rich man bal probably an IN,
cone of S25 900 a year. The Cd
ltOr lived on short commons and
was so poor he not long after wts
sold olt.
1t Is time for the no system cf
North Carolina newspapers TO be
abandoned and some business sys-
ten substituted. Long credits
will bankrupt any newspaper, We
know poor ex editor in North
Carolina who was faithfully serve "a
the Democratic party at a most
critical time, and who has $l5 600
owing him by the Democrats Of the
State who read his paper and never
paid for it. This does not include
either some I,40O subscribers he
had previously cut Off and who never
paid.
We suppose the late Mr.. Bonitz
aad furnished more than $4,000
worth Of paper to subscrihers, for
which he was never paid a penny.
1t Is as failure to get what is owing
that keeps newspaper men poor.

is crtirciy abandoned new era Of

be one of the biggest, best and most

Plans and specifications have been
prepared, aud all that is needed is
to select one of the many sites
which the building committee has
under consideration. The temple
will be so constructed as to serve
the purpose OF an Office building as
well as a society rendezvous. 1t will
be thirty, four stories bigh and will
be SO peculiarly constructed as to
have windows in every apartment
facing the light. The main portion
of the building will be twenty
stories high, the tower constituting
the remaining fourteen stories and
rising to height of 800 feet. The
area Of the site will be 43, 600 square
