This Subject Won't Pay The Leader.

Before the Madison Leader speaks
of the fayors shown by the Winston
people to their home paper it would
be well for it to look over its own
columns and see what amount of
support the Winston people are Civ
ing toward sustaining the Madison
Laeder in the way of advertising.
There is no town in North Carolina
that is more preyed upon by the
outside press for advertising than is
Winston. In fact there are some
editors who camp here in the town
pretty much all the time, boarding
free and begging for advertisements.
Winston does more than her duty in
supporting the outside press.
