Without health nothing Is worth

every time by proper feeding on the

A California trained nurse proved
this: Three years ago ! was taken

my condition was SO bad l never
imagined food would help me but on

SO much relief that I quit the medi-

three times a day. The result was
that within months I had so COM

they can afford with the home, pa
per- whether that expenditure is
actually necessary or not. makes
a wiser, more profitable invest
ment. They are not "giying" the
home paper something. On the
contrary, it is earning every cent
it gets and provided it is a
paper that is worth pickir G up in

paper, it is usually the fault Of the
town in which it is published -
Atlanta Constitution.
We do not comment on the
above because we are looking
for a policeman to tell our
troubles to, or because we
have occasion for humping
any individual on a sore spot;
we have no personal feelings
to satisfy. Considering the
opportunity. and resources
we have had at our command
it has BEEN one long hard
struggle to reach the present
time in the continuous publ.
cation of the FREE PERss.
Others have tried it and fail
ed; we have had friends
enough to prevent a failure,
and are still doing business.
The utter indifference with
which some people patronize
a town paper points to a mon
ument of do nothing, know
nothing and care for nothing;
in fact if they read the paper
they think they are doing the
e.lit II a favor, and if they
give him a dollar they put it
down as a donation to a nee
essary evil; and as for official
patronage from the city coun-
Gil Of Southern Pines they
would think the editor Of the

of every town to support a good
newspaper. Not through local
pride alone, but for. practical bus
mess reasons. A newspaper is
constantly doing ten times as much
for its town as it could ever hope
to get pay for-more than it could
charge for, if 1t would.
The more prosperous paper is
the more it is able to do. Show us

much to that community every
year than the editor manages to

Show us a community that per-
sistently proceeds on the idea that
the editor of the home paper can
live on the '.pi'' that accumulates
in the Office; whose official bodies
think it a waste Of public money
to throw him a bit of public print

whose citizens have come to re-
gard it as one of their inalienable

A Word About the Country Paper.

A Word About the Country Paper.
A word once more with commu
mites that seem to think an editor
ought to be willing to publish pa
per Just for the fun Of seeing his
name at the head Of the columns
and being invited to an occasional
picnic.
Some time ago The Constitution
reproduced a complaint from The
Gainesville Advertiser about the
grand jury presentments of Haber
sham county having been ordered
printed in that paper atasprice not
to exceed SO. Think Of it--three
whole dollars! Not enough to pay
for setting the type, except where
the editor sets his own type, has
his own garden and lets his wife
take in sewing.
Now comes The Wlnder Demo:
crat ard complains that the city
council Aof that town is "hard heart
ed" because it has stopped the Gus
tom of publishing the council pro-
ceedings and paying therefor at a
nominal rate; in addition to levy
ing for the first time special tax
on newspapers.
No, it isn't hard heartedness that
prompted the Winder council to do
this-but simply ho:t-sightedness.
il NAV be none of The Constitu
tons business TO make sugges
tions to Winder's councilmen, or
to the grand jurymen Of Haber-
sham county about how they shall
run their local affairs: but it is our
business to protest against such
mistaken public policy as this.
The average weekly editor
usually has his all invested in his
newspaper property. That invest
ment generally represents from
one to two thousand dollars Bnt
it is worth more to the town than
five times the amount invested in
any other local enterprise. As a
rule, the newspaper represents to
the outside world the town itself.
Poor paper, poor town. the usual |
verdict.
