a Problem.

- u" question ABOUT u towns
I prosperity without the aid OF a newspa-
per Without the aid OF an auxiliary of
this kind the town has no mode ofc
mualoation with the outside world.
and even not among its people OF the
( county. Like any other enterprise. it
Is private property, but is for the pub
nc good. Without Its influence, with
out its aid, community Is u blank.
Place Lawyer, Physician. merchant
or any other business man in the same
position of a newspaper. and ask of
them to devote two-thirds OF their time
to business that benefits the whole
community without fee or reward, and
see how long they will stay in your
town or community. They certainly
would shake the dust of your town
from their shoes with sorrow and
great lamentations. And who could
blame thems Not one, except those
who had demanded of them their time
without any reward for their labor.
This is precisely the position in which
the REPORTER is placed. 1t is a pub
lie benefactor and every week there is
demand made on it for columns at
time for the benefit OF the citizens of
the town and county and is never even
thought of being paid for. The pres
ent editor and proprietor has been
with you for the last eighteen years
and has never made an unreasonable
demand of its patrons during this time.
There is in this town twenty-six bust
ness houses, besides the professions
Look through the columns of the RE-
PORTER and see how many of these
26 houses are patterns OF their town
paper We want to know the cause
of it. and intend to find it out. Is it
because the business mon of the town
does not like the views and manage
ment of the present proprietor of the
REPORTER? If this should be the case
| the gentleman is perfectly willing to
abdicate the throne in favor OF one
that is in more accord with your views
and public favor, and the gentleman
can be trotted out at once, provided he
is furnished with the money to plank
down for the material and outfit neces-
sary to carry on the business with. If
am mistakenin in my views l offer
, an apology at once. But it is either
put up or shut up. This is the case
in nut shell. We cannot afford TO do
business at loss of time and labor
any longer Twelve dollars a year or
an average Of that from each business
man of the town for advertising would
amount to the small sum OF 1912 per
year, and with the TRANSPLANT advertis-
ing, would enable us to still keep our
| flag flying as of old. The patropa age
OF the REPORTER to each merchant OF
/ the town in dollars and cents, is worth
not less than thirty dollars. Gentle
mon, we ask of you to take a business
| in the premises and ask and wait your
decision in this matter. 1t is ques-
ton that will not admit of delay and
is for the business men to decide upon.

name of Tyce Griffith was employed to
