About Newspapers and Their Pay.
Raleigh Evening Times.

1t is noted that some of the North
Carolina newspapers are giving no
tice of an increase i'm their rates OF
subscription, beginning January LIST.
This increase is not due to the en-
largement or improvement OF the
paper, but is necessitated by the fact
that, with the increased price of
newspaper material and the general
commodities of existence, it has been
| demonstrated that the publishers
cannot continue to print theirpapers
at the old price and keep out OF the
poor house.
A newspaper man must eat and
wear clothes and buy fuel land pay
house rent, often) and support his
family. the same as other people.
The cost of living has very greatly
increased OF late and it takes more
money to supply the newspaper
, mans actual necessities, considerably
more Of it. than it did only u short
| time ago.
There are few newspapers in North
Carolina that have ever made much
clear money under the most favor
able conditions. Many of them have
| lived from hand to mouth from one
years end to another.
With the expense account largely
increased there is nothing left for
them to do except to provide for an
increased income to meet the deficit
that is now staring them in the face.
But some people do not appear to
understand this Some men who will
pay the increase of = 80 on his usual
brand of barrel of flour, with only
IL mild protest, will kick like a steer
over Il corresponding increase in the
price OF yearly subscription to his
favorite newspaper.
He seems to think that the news
paper can and must manage to get
nlOng, somehow. at the old rate, even
if everything else does cost more
than formerly.
The great ma jority of newspaper
readers had rather pay il little more,
and do SO cheerfully, when they find
and appreciate the fact that they are i
securing II much betterpaper in every
way.
A poor newspaper, intrinsically, is
dear at any price-and the major
portion of the poor ones in North
Carolina are kept so because their
income is so meagre that it is i'm |
possible to make them better.
Like everything else, the best new :
paper talent commands and costs
money.
Without newspaper talent and
journalistic aptitude and experience, |
the richest newspaper company can
put upon the market nothing but a !
poor newspaper
With poverty at both ends, it is no |
wonder that some of our sO-called |
newspapers present such IL poverty |
stricken appearance that one seeks |
in vain for Il valid excuse for their |
continued existence

The negroes OF the District OF Co.

The negroes OF the District OF CO.
lumbia have registered a grievance.
This began with the announcement
of the appointment of Mr.. N. |. Well
Ter. I, prominent citizen OF Washing
ton. ;,S chairman of the public COM
fort committee. Mr.. Weller held the
same craftsmanship at the time OF
tie first Mckinley inauguration.
Having been long a resident of the
District of Columbia, where negro in
dependence reaches a most aggres-
sive and aggravating stage, his ideas
do not exactly suit the ''colored
politicians. At the Mckinley inaug-
uration he insisted upon the segre-
CATION of the negroes. Negro polit-
ical clubs participating in the exer-
cises were notified. they must go to
negro hotels and boarding houses
not where there would be clashing
with the WITHSTAND they did not
like this.
A negro paper published in Wash
ington is out in ali attack upon
Chairman Weller and his methods.
1t advises that these be resented.
Protest has been made to General
Wilson, chairman of the Inaugural
ton committee, but that old warrior
has served notice upon the complain
ants that Mr.. Weller is absolute in
his branch of the committees work.
Now the negroes threaten to carry
the question up tothe white house.
However much the Presidents
friends may deplore these little diff
ferences in the Republican household,
they cannot, if they are observing
men. plead surprise.
Here you is-in trouble az in"
said the colored deacon. "Didn't [
tell you ter fight yo' way only wild de
sword er de Sperrit?
Yes, subj" replied the penitent,
"but de razor was SO handy"
