WHY SOME PAPERS co UNDER

The Evening Call has The" Honor"
of being Grifin's official paper;
and honor is all The Call gets in
the deal, the Newman Herald
thinks, as it has agreed to do the
city's advertising for nothing.
This is a fair sample ofthe business
methods that prevail in some news
paper offices. Such methods are
not only responsible for most of
the financial failures in country
newspaperdom, but make success
more difficult for those newspapers
that attain success by intoxicating
in the public mind the idea that
newspapers ought to work for
nothing.
The Albany Herald, too, thinks
this states the case pretty fairly
and adds by way of comment.
zone great trouble about the
country newspaper business is that
too many men who have proved to
be failures in other professions or
business lines engage in it.
GA popular bat very erroneous
idea is that any man can edit a
newspaper. Another popular and
equally as erroneous idea is that
a newspaper business will take
care of Itself-that the ordinary
ability and business methods do
not have to be applied to it to
make a success of it.
eve knew a good man once who
sent his son through college and
then gave him start to be a law
yer. He failed to make a success
as a lawyer. He then tried book
keeping a while, and finally made
pass at preaching. None of these
positions seemed to suit him, or
he failed to suit them, and his ia,
ther finally concluded that he was
intended for an editor, so he
bought him newspaper. He "sail-
ed in, "wrOte few brief editorials,
as he thought, and waited to see
the world blaze. But the old world
didn't blaze.
"And the man who had failed
at everything else he had tried,
failed in the newspaper business,
not, however, until he had done
the same thing that the publishers
of The Griffin Call are doing-of-
fered to do the official printing of
the town in which his paper was
published in order to get it away
from his competitor. Such bust
ness methods can not succeed, for
the simple reason that they are in
direct conflict with the infexible
laws of business success
The same fatal experiment was
tried two years ago by small
sheet then existing in Americas,
which not only took the city print
ing for nothing, but paid one dol
lar for the privilege. And ere the
year closed it, too, slept in the
graveyard of paperdom with others
equally mismanaged-unwept, I'M
hOnOred and Unsung.

A Coal Mine

I have for sale going coal mine. with a present output of about 100 tons The capacity of the mine is about 900 tones. The smallness of the present output is due to lack of sufficient capital mainly. as well as some differences of opinion be- tween the interested parties. It is a domestic coal proposition, running about 60 per cent of the very highest grade lump coal The closest investigation and inspection are invited The product of this mine is in great demand and one retail dealer in Birmingham alone will take the entire output al a higher figure than is being obtained for the best Cahaba coal This retail dealer is now getting 9 cents a ton more at retail for this coal than is being asked for the best Cahaba. The analysis of the coal indicates q superior coal to Cahaba or Montevallo. It is q drift proposition There is claimed to be $35, 900 actual cash invested in the con cern The financial statement of the company indicates q gain of a few thous- and dollars on the investment, in spite of the disadvantages previously indicated. To get the best out of the proposition. there should be at least another s15.00O invested. Upon agreed conditions, about S1O,O00 of present ownership could be re- tained. This would be a matter of mutual agreement. The mine is on the Southern railway and will shortly have the Illinois Central. also. There will not probably be another such opportunity to get right in the coal business while conditions are so favorable. I can deliver this proposi- ton on prompt action.
