CASH SUBSCRIPTION PAPERS.

The Charlotte Observer. in a re-
cent editorial, says:
Every week or so some weekly
paper in this State drops into line
with the announcement that after
certain date it will adopt the cash-in-
advance system on its subscription
list The Oxford Ledger is the latest
tc make the change, stating that the
new rule will go into effect February
5th, thus giving subscribers plenty
of time to pay up arrearages and to
conform to the new rule of the flu
ture. Probably every paper in the
State could with advantage adopt
some such rule, especially the week
lies and semi-weeklies. Why should
subscribers to these papers expect to
be carried on the subscription books
for years. while the editors are strug-
Cling to make their monthly accounts
balance, and, because Of the heavy
load of unpaid subscriptions, are not
able to give their readers as good a
paper as they would like. A man
who cannot pay promptly from one
dollar to two dollars and a half a
year for paper has no business TAX
ing it. He would think it mighty
hard if he had to dispose of his dry
goods or his groceries, supposing him
a merchant. or his country produce,
supposing him a farmer, in one-dol-
lar or two-dollar lots and have to
wait several years for pay, while the
bills were increasing all the time.
We would like to see more papers fall
into line on the straightforward
vance principle. They could soon
educate their subscribers up to it, and
the latter would quickly see the adj
vantage it was to them in assuring a
better paper"
