COST OF A NEWSPAPER,
One Dollar Per Year Is Too Little for
aGood Paper.

GOOD Paper.
A number OF weekly papers are
-aising the subscription price to else
year, without any enlargement or
improvemel They are forced to
raise the price or go out of business
on acc unit OF the increased price of
all material that go to make up a
newspaper. The following editorial
fron Sundays Wilmington Messenger
i' to the point: The Gastonia Ga
zette announces that 1t will advance
the price OF it's subscription from one
dollar TO one dollar and a half year.
This Is not done because Of contem-
plated enlargement or material i'm
provement OF the paper, but as the
editor says, for purely business rea-
sons, The increased cost of living
and OF labor In the printing business
aud the advarce In the price of paper
has made this increase OF fifty per
cent In the price CT the paper q ne
ces,ity. We are not surprised at this
announcements. We do not see how
aHy editor cGa Issue srsst c!:a.sss @eeh
ly paper for the small subscription
price OF one dollar a year. The sur
prise is that the Gazette has not ma6e
this change before this and that
others have not done likewise. The
daily paper which also issuesa weekly
edition has the advantage In the mat
ter or saving expenses over tho paper
which has only a weekly and semi
weekly edition, and still none of the
10 m class In this section Of the
country Is gatting rich by any means
With their dollar a year editions II
they cannot make anything of their
publication how can the other class
Of newspaper men be expected to do
30? And again a man who will not
pay dollar and halt for fif5y-two
issues OF his county paper ought not
to be furnished one at any price.
The fifty cents additional is very lit
tie to each individual subscriber, but
the sum total amounts to a great
deal with the man at the other end
OF the linz. lis same idea applies

tiors Of the dailies. Take pap.r

ed all Jver the State. The one dollar
ls v-ry little to each one OF these sub
scribcrs, but when they all come to
The newspapers proprietors they
amount to G bod deal. The man
who fails to pay his sui s,ription does
not save much. He has cheated the
editor out Of only dollar; but when
such cases pile up by the score it Is q

who depends on the individual dollar

of Thomas Dixon, Jr. S last novel, and
from it L clip as follows:
IF an absorbing interest is the test

powerful, interesting, and shows I'M

rise from the ashes of the later six
ties by people whom no adversely
could crush. Mr.. Dixon speaks the
truth, and because the truth is some
times horrid he is called sectional,
coarse and a pessimist. His vindica-
ton of the Khan is the most effective
part of the book"
l saw it mentioned in two column
article on Dixon by q Northern news
paper man, that he spent $4,000 on
books from which to arrive at the

about the Ku KIux Khan meant a
