Those people, in Florence who are
interested in starting new paper,
would have acted more wisely had
they accepted Mr.. Il. M. Ayers offer
to buy out The Times, provided the
price was not too high, instead of buy
ing a new outfit and starting a new
paper. AS it is they will only succeed
in worrying Mr.. Aver and throwing
away their own money. 1t takes
money and experience to run daily
paper and they will find they cannot
run The Times out of business unless
they have at least $40, 600 or sl5,0 to
sink in the enterprise. The Times is

Florence can hope to have better
