fch our neighbor suffers" We ourself ad-
mitting and asserting that the Newberry
Herald and News is first.clasS In it's editorials,
and granting the fact of its enterprise and
ability for publishing the latest and most i'm
portant news, yet we claim that the face OF
the paper, and the editorial OF last week
show and acknowledge that the paper is not
meeting with the business or financial sue
cess that It's ability and application 10 busi'
ness deserve.
LOCAL ADVERTISERS 30 NOT GET A FAIR
SHOWING.
We have no desire to give advice to our
neighbor, tut we venture TO suggest that local
advertisers do not have fair play or sufficient
enronragement In the matter OF position, and
that the value OF 6hn newspaper itself Is In
jnred by the prominence which Is given TO
patent medicines. The ads and the reading
notices OF these medicines pollute not only
every page. but nearly every column OF the
paper. For reasons which need not here
be stated, the editor of the Press and Banner
In the years that are gone by felt more or less
interest in the local affairs OF Newberry. We
read The locals Of the newspapers of that town
with more interest than the locals or any
newspaper which was received al this office
But Since the medical notices have taken Che
place of locals we do not read the local page
at all, for the simple reason of the makeup
of the pag" Is such that we cannot distin-
gu iSh ads from legitimate news until we have
read considerable portion of an article
We seldom read line OF that
page. We Infer from our own experience,
that whatever destroy ed the value OF the page
10 us, might have similar effect on others.
LOCAL ADVERTISERS GET OBSCURE POSITIONS.

of the Herald and News to make some re.
marks on the subject OF his recent editorial.
What we have said. however, will apply
with about equal force TO the suicidal policy
OF many other papers in reserving all the
best places for medical ads, which act is sure
TO kill out local business.
You can examine the patent side Of this pa.
per and there find patent medicine ads. We
don't print that side, but we have to take II as

POOR LOCAL BUSINESS.
The Best Places In Our Newspapers
Given to Patent Medicines-Local
Advertisers Driven 10 Obscure Cor.

AuVtEttStES DEhtCtb SVE'
ners.
Our able and enterprising neighbor, the
Newt berry Herald and News, has III interest
ing article on newspapers and newspaper ad-
vertising, calling attention TO the excellence
OF the newspaprrs and 70 the limited hdver
tising which Is done by the merchants OF
Newberry.
rhe fact is, the Herald and News gives ev-
cry evidence Oi being al excellent ilse news
paper, but whose publication office Is 1T
railroad tank, or In the middle OF Il town thni
ia PUN dead. with very few funeral invita-
tions sent out.
While the editorial. the typography, and
the press work Is most excellent. yet the
makeup of the forms may have something TO
do with the lack OF home patronage. Let us
take the paper, page by page, and show where
in the newspaper itself may be at fault for the
limited home patronage.
FIRST PAGE.
At top Of coiumn-ths most conspicuous
place In the paper-s to be found an ugly pat
ent medicine advertisement. In among the
reading matter, on the same page, and aI-
pearinH without advertising MARKS. are to he
round advertisements, which, 10 put In mild
~, are OF doubtful character. No local ad on
this page, the very best place In the paper.
THE SECOND OR EDITORIAL PAGE.
After furnishing three and n bali columns
Of most readable matter, tho editorials OF
which we are speaking, Is f0lowei by an ad
rertisement of b medicine Then at the top
OF the fifth and sixth columns are TO be iounu
two double column ads from 1ar0f people
Beneath these In the fifth column Is a life IN
surance nd for Edgefield man. TINS
column Ia filled out with small local ad.

SUCCESS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

re the Herald and News Will throw into the
he'll box all the old cuts that now dlstigurt
the conspicuous places In the paper, and then
give hometOlks q chance TO come to the from
we venture to say that IL will not be Ions
time before the good business men of New
berry will find out the advantages OF adveriis
ing In local paper which will treat them
fairly. -.
The Press and Banner does not believe the
combined talent and energy OF the entire
Stale Press Association could bring satiSiac.
tory results to a newspaper which sticks
medical ads in all the good places and
hides home ads In The Out-of-the-way places
az does the Herald and News.
The loss OF local business in the Hera Id and
News map be largely attributed To legitimate
effect OF the makeup OF FORMS
ARBITRARY RULES.
Too many printers expect the public to con-
frrn. itself TO the arbitrary rules of q little
printing office which too often requires job
printing and advertising TO be sent In AZ an
unrpasoDably early time. Our idea is, that
all. from the editor TO the lad who does Inc
chores are in the business to serve the puollc,
and that we should accept business gratefully
and thankfully whenever we can get 1t. Bet
ter late than never
WE SHOULD PLEASE CUSTOMERS.
Too many editors refuse reasonable requests
from their customers Our idea Is, TO please
customers. without interposing objection TO
anything they want done. II they Wanra
lob printed In any particular way, or II they
want their advertisement In any specla !
shape then Il is our business to do the work
as nearly as possible In the manner In wh ich
our customer wants it, Never talk back ut
customer Let him have his own way. That
IL what we are here for-to serve the puollc,
and not TO control or TO guide our customers

local demand for any considerable amount Of

wholly given up to medical ads, and If 10 pub

more neuriy succeeds than any paper OF

The first thing TO app-ar on the local page
Is an ugly cut, which we would hardly expect
TO see in as nice n paper as the Herald and

Using reading notices. On the second column
Is halt column Of locals. Nearly all the re-

fourth column IL filled somewhat after the

THE FOURTH OR LAST PAGE.

Ugly medical cut gets place IN first column
OF rea linz mattel Medical a gets place in
third cnum / below reading matter Fourth
and fifth column headed by medical ad.
That IN deal advertisement Is followed
by one news item, which in turn, Is
followed by medical notice, and ugly cut of

to fiji out Some reading matter below double
column foreign al at top of fifth column. Re
mainder OF column filled out with medical
ads. Fifth column, about half reading matter.
Then follows reading medical notice, and biz
cut OF patent medicine. About one-third of

column patent medicine ads. Balance of
