The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-12-16

Thursday, February 26, 1G57,-The
Newberry Sun suggests the calling of
convention of proprietors of South
Carolina newspapers for the purpose
of introducing the cash system for
subscriptions and other reforms that
seem to be necessary to the business
end of newspaper publishing.
The above is a reprint in the York
vile Enquirer of that paper.
1t would be timely and sensible
thing for the newspapers of the State
at this time to hold convention and
discuss the cost of production and
agree to sell their wares at a profit.
The business end of the average news
paper needs attention.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-12-16

The suggestion is now being made
that the fiscal year be changed so as
to end June 80. The suggestion is a
good one and was made by The Her
aid and News a long time ago. 1t
would give time for the officers to
get their reports out in time for the
members of the legislature to go
over and study them and they would
tnus be better informed as to mat
tiers that would come up for their
consideration when the legislature
did meet. AS it is now the reports
cannot close until the close of the
year and then it is only short time
before the legislature is in session
and then many times the printed re-
ports are not in the hands of the
members until the session is far un-
der way and the members have no
time to look at these reports much
less have any time to study them, and
many matters upon which they are
called to legislate and make large ap-
propriations are acted upon without
sufficient knowledge of the needs Of
the department or the matter about
which legislation is to be mad.
There are many other reasons why
it would be better to have the fiscal

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Except-

March-4 a more stupendous task than
today confronted President Wilson.
And probably no President ever real
lied more fully the gravity Of the tre-
mendous responsibility that is his.
Democracy was placed on trial to-
day for the first time in twenty years,
at the bar of public opinion, with the

real reform is the four years task
facing the new Administration. Fac
tional divisions within the dominant
party, Democratic leaders themselves
admit make the next four years po-
tent with possibilities.
This nations course of peace and
| friendship with the world powers and
its policy in Central and South Amer
lea were today placed in the hands
of President Wilson. Alone this con-
] stitutes a mountainous task Con-
4 fronting him in prime importance
was the civic strife in Mexico-the
problem of preserving peace and or
der there without shedding of Amer
ican blood.

today, involving settlement of dis

other European countries over the
free tolls" concession given Ameri-
