GROWTH OF CIRCULATION.

There have been two reasons why the
mana cement has strained every effort to
secure a large list of subscribers, consist
ent with the policy that has characterized
the company from its organization: l.
Because large circulation is essential to
influence and power. The management has
craved influence and power for the paper,
IN order that it could effectively advance
every good cause which it espouses. 1t
seeks to be a power in North Carolina for
good government for industrial and com
mercial progress, for educational advance
ment, for temperance-for everything that
makes for the progress of the Common
wealth and the betterment of the cond'-
tion of the people and their moral and
political welfare. This can only be at
tanned by wide circulation of its papers.
There has been no desire to obtain power
for any selfish, commercial or narrow
ends. No man connected with the paper
has ambition for political preferment, and
no line has been written by desire TO
make the paper an agency for the al
vancement of the fortunes OF any man or
set of men, Every new subscriber IS re-
garded, not only as securing lncreas-
ed influence, but as adding to the respon-
sibility to keep the rudder true, to maize
the paper a worthy exponent Of the best
sentiment, truest traditions, and soundest
convictions of the wisdom and progress
of this Commonwealth. The people of the
State have come to rely upon the News
and Observer because they knew that it
has no mission except to serve the state
of North Carolina, has no ownership that
dictates its policy for special interests, and
depends upon no class or section for lis
support, looking for patronage only to
those who wish an honest, clean. progress
sive newspaper devoted to the upbulldlng
of whatever will bring about the greatest
good to the greatest number. 1t is be
cause the people recognize that the man
agement is actuated by these aims that
its circulation has gone forward steadily
and rapidly, breaking all record in the
history of North Carolina journalism.
The second reason that stress has been
laid upon securing large subscription list
is that it must be the precursor Of profit
able advertising patronage. The time has

Nashville, n. c., Aug. 10.-Fully three
hundred of Nash county's leading farmers
