have accumulated an up-to-date out

and a Miehle press, and are running
at an expense of SI3 Il Gay. Four
hand compositors set up the Journal
in the early days. Now there is set
on the two linotype machines the
equivalent of the product Cf 10 hand
compoSitors. The circulation of
the Journal is now four times what
1t was when the paper was one year
old. and it is steadily growing.

been largely due to the fact that it

HOME OF THE JOURNAL.
The Journal occupies the whole of
a three-story brick building, No. 45
South Church street, shown on this
phae. The business Office, press-room
ana mailing-room are on the first
moor. The editorial, composing and
ad-rCCms are on the second floor and
stCre-roOm and private Offices are
on the third floor. The building Is
admirably adapted to. newspaper
publication purposes, having ample
light and ventilation, besides being
conveniently located on one of the
prominent business streets OF the
city.
ALL OUR OWN WORK.
1t Is matter of distinct pride
to be able to say that this Industrial
Edition is wholly the product of our
own office. Every line of the type
was set here and every sheet printed
on cur own presses. No outside or
extra nelp was employed on the
work. but all of 1t was done by the
regular force. This shows what can
be done by the men above mention
ed better than anything that could
be said In words. The entire work
or compilation, promotion, writing,
and arranging the matter and Sc
curing the pictures was done in
three months, which will be consid-
cred very short time by anybody
who will undertake 1t. The printing
Of this edition was accomplished in
ten days without interruption to the
regular work Of publishing the Jour
nal daily and The Free Lance week
ly. We believe 1t will stand as q
model Of excellence in such work
just as the Journal stands as a model
of typographical beauty as news
paper.

The paper was established by
Charles II. Henry, who was then and
is now its editor and manager. He
is native of Greenville, but has
lived in Spartanburg for IL years.
He was for two years connected with
the Greenville News and was for five
years manager and part owner of
the Spartanburg Herald. There has
been no change in tn ase six years in
the editorial or business policy or

as its hand was never hidden. 1t has
never been subject to secret control
or run in any selfish interest.

this). we take pleasure in saying that

withheld just so much is lost and
just so far short does the newspaper
fall CT full success.
One of the strong features of the
Journal is its complete local identi-
ficatiCn. 1t is owned, edited and
managed in Spartanburg and is in
complete accord with local sentiment
and temperament. Whatever it may
achieve in any way, In power, pres
tige or material wealth, is contribut-
ed to the upbuilding CT Spartanburg.
1t is responsive to local sentiment
and is wholly free from foreign in
tluences. 1t is looked en- as the
"Spartanburg paper" ana what ap-
pears in it is the Spartanburg view
Of Spartanburg happenings and
Spartanburg conditions.
A UNIQUE DISTINCTION.
The Journal possesses the some-
what unique distinction among South
Carolina dailies Of beng entirely
owned and controlled by its editor
OF course, ii may be said in many
cases that Il salaried editor is given
unrestricted cCntrCl Of newspaper.
and this may be true for the time be-
ing, but after all his course must be
made satisfactory to the owners of
the paper, as they retain lively in
tereSt in their own property and in
the last analysis control it's opera
tiOn and direct it's course. Any ed
itor who goes contrary to their
wishes and desires will feel their dis
approval and is to that extent less
free and unrestrained than Is the
case where the editor Is the owner
and sole directing force. We men,
tion this only as a feature. 1t has
nothing to do with tae quality or
tho wisdom and correctness Cf tae
editorial direction. but only with it's
entire freedom and absolute inde-
pendence.
SIX YEARS OLD.
The Journal was established Sep
tembar 3. 1900 and is therefore six
years. old. 1t is in point CT continu
ity CT ownership and management tn ,
oldest newspaper in Spartanburg
having by several times outlived its
LEGAL contemporaries in this respect
IL is not Il violation of modesty to
say that ii has been phenomenal
success almost from the start. and is
new as we'll established as any news
paper in South Carolina, and is do
ing business that is exceeded bv
only TWO Ctner newspapers In THIS
state, if our estimates De correct
The establishment Of new news
paper anywhere at any time Is q
venture. 1t may or may not sue
1eed. 1t may require an enormous
amount of money to be put into II
before ii does succeed. 1t may fall
Cn circumstances which make it ar
immediate success, or 1t may strike
conditions which will make it a hope
less proposition.
SCmething-we don't know exactly
what-made the Journal an early sue
cess. We worked very hard on i
and put lot Of energy and determine
ti0n into it. but these things woult
not have made it go without a fielC
to operate in and the cooperation
CT thr people, and perhaps the fiel,
and the people were its most valu
able asset. Spartanburg, city an
county. are valuable territory fo
such Il newspaper as the Journal
and are in fact an important ant
essential part CT the Journal. Spar
tanburg has grown and Is CROWN.
and the Journal grows with it.

New York. Feb. 2T-The cotton market was very quiet today. sales being estimated at only i75,000 bales. Prices were generally steady and the close was two to nine points net higher. The opening was steady at an advance of two to six points which was rather better than due on the showing of Liverpool futures owing to the biz spot bus mess reported in the English market.
 Spot sales in Liverpool on Monday were tS.0e0 bales and another 12.900 bales were reported today Private advtces from the South also reported large spot demand al interior points with desirable grades spar ingfy offered and 1t was rtimored that a considerable block of the local stock had been sold to he officially reported as 1t was shipped In spite of these reports there wal no outside movement due in some measure perhaps to the fact that New Orleans wal closed for the Mardt Gras festivities ant shortly after the opening local bears attack ed the market forcing. prices off or points in the hope of finding stop los orders
