AAA4-AN " -" AAt'~-
OF years past the subscription
price OF the average county weekly
has been too small. Even most any
kind Of paper is worth more than a
dollar a year. that is, If the paper is
run for other reasons than political.
The editor Of a county paper has
the same business proposition to face
as the heads Of any other business in
stitution, and there is no reason why
he should not sell his time and labor
at a profit
A good live county newspaper is
the best asset any community can
boast of. II the paper is conducted
on a business basis, and has for its
aim and purpose the development Of
its territory along spiritual, social
and business lines, it can mean more
than any other institution in the
growth Of its respective communi-, i.
The Gazette is proud of the high
standard that las been set by many
Of the county weeklies in Mississippi.
It's true this state has some Of the
weakest" weeklies that can be found
anywhere, but we receive each week
exchanges that can't be beat in any
other staes in the Union.
The last paper raising their sub
senption and advertising rates that
has come TO our attention is the Ok
ford Eagle, Oxford, Miss. G. W.
Price, editor of the Eagle, announced
this advance las. week to take effect
November 1. He is advancing his
price from 81 per year to 81, cash in
advance, and in this announcement he
also advises his advertising patrons
Of an increase in his charges for ad-
vertising space.
The announcement reads - follows.
Effective November l, 1916, the
subscription price of The Oxford
Eagle viii be $500 per year. payable
IN advance And on this date our ad-
vertising rates viii be increased to 20
cents per column inch. The advance,
however, will not affect contracts
then in force, for either advertising
space or subscriptions In other
words, if you have a contract for
1000 or 1000 inches Of space to be
used in a specified time, the contract
will be carried out
Subscribers who are paid up and
who keep their subscription paid up
in advance, will continue To receive
the paper at the same old price But
all who are in arrears on that date
for one year or more, will be dropped
from the list and their names and ac-
count placed in the hands Of an attor-
ney for collection
We have had this matter under ad-
visement for several months. but we
did not know just how much we

DELEGATION FROM MORR|LTON COMING 10 INSPECT OUR PAVING Sister City will Send 30 or 40 Cars Here on Visit Friday Night,
 June 2.

A large delegation of Morriltor citizens, coming in 30 or 40 automo piles, will pay visit to Conway or Friday night, June 2, for the purpose of inspecting this city's street pay ing and street lighting system, ac cording to letter received last night by Mayor J. c.

 An improvement district for the purpose of paving in Morrilton is now in process of organization and it IS to get line on this work that the visit will be made. Mr. DeLong's letter and Mayor Dawsons reply follow:
 "Morrilton, Ark, May 25, 1916. Mayor J. C. Dawson, Conway, Ark.
 Dear Sir-Many of the citizens of Morrilton are very much interested Tn the passage of the paving ordi- nance now on its third and final reading, and in order to have our citizens friendly to this ordinance it has occurred to some of us that if we would get up an automobile excur- sion to your city that it would boost the cause
 Now we have in mind such a trip ErldaU about 7:3O p. m., and arrive there about 8:45 p. m., for a drive about your beautiful city of well paved and lighted streets.
 We would bring our band and give you short concert. Could we ex- pect short address from some of your speakers on good roads and paved streets? We would expect to bring 30 or 40 cars,
 Yours very truly, "W. E. DeLong."
 Mayor Dawson's reply follows:
 Conway, Ark, May 25, 1916. MT. w. E. DeLong, Morrilton, Ark.
 My Dear Sir-I have your letter Tn regard to an automobile excursion to our city Friday night, June ?, and beg to say that we will certainly be glad to have you come, and will ar range a program for the occasion. Be sure to bring your band, and if you have any knockers on paved streets be sure to bring them, as we will guarantee to send them back boosters.
 Assuring you that we are more than willing to help you in any way we can, l beg to remain.
 Yours truly,

STATE CONVENTION
 LINEUP AGREED ON
J. D. HEAD TO PRESIDE
Joe House, Jr., to be Committee Chairman-List of Faulkner
 Delegations.

According to dispatches from Lit
 tie Rock, the lineup for the state
 Democratic convention, which con- venes in the capital city May 31, and
 for the State Democratic Central Committee, has been agreed upon by the Brough forces, who will dominate the convention, in accordance with the past custom of giving the victorious candidate for governor full sway in the party councils.
 Joe w. House, Jr, will be selected at chairman of the committee to sue ceed Judge A. J. Walls; J. D. Head of Texarkana is the selection of the Brough forces for chairman of the | convention, which meets next We'd nesday.

Calvert of Sebastian is now slated for secretary of the committee, and Alex II. Powell of Pine Bluff for sec retary of the convention. Mr. House has not yet signified his acceptance of the chairmanship, but it is not be- lleved he will decline it.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-04-04

The eastern coast of Scotland is, ver1
likely less protected from assault by al
raiders than is the southeastern coast o
England, where most of the attacks hav,
previously been directed; and, therefore
the raiders can continue their de
structive work without fear Of serious
molestation. In the Zeppelin raid OF
Sunday night, the airships lowered over
the eastern coast of Scotland for three.
quarters of an hour, their occupants tax
ing their time about aiming bombs on the
unprotected cities. While Edinburgh
would be richest target for the raiders
it is probable that Aberdeen, further to
the northward, cannot hope to escape all
damage. The nature of the building
material of the Granite city OF Scotland
precludes the possibility, however, of Sc.
rious confagration attending the throw
ing of incendiary bombs, albeit the ex
plosion of bombs could exact heavy hui
man toll in the more thickly settled por-
tions of the city. BY raiding these de-
fenseless sections of Great Britain Ger
many gains no military advantage but
simply piles up the evidences of barbar-
ism.

PoSTPoNING THE INEVITABLE

POSTPONING THE INEVITABLE
If, as seems apparent, the opponents of
Louis d. Brandeis are beaten in their eff
forts to prevent the confirmation Of his
appointment TO the United States SUI
preme court bench, it does not strike the
outsider as good politics to keep up the
fight in the Senate. There appears to be
little doubt that Brandeis has already
enough votes to secure his confirmation;
and some reports have it that he will re-
ceive the support of SO out of 90 senators.
Moreover, the opponents of Brandeis are
said to admit their defeat That being
the case, it would be we'll to submit to
the prospective result and turn to other
weighty affairs that are to come before
the present session; for instance, the
matter of military and naval prepared
ness. This matter is by far the most
important single thing to come up in
many months and deserves as nearly m-
divided attention as possible. To con
tinue the Brandeis fight after it is known
that the result will be the confirmation
of Brandeis is to take from the prepared
ness issue no slight amount of attention
The SO senators who are said to be OPP
posed to Brandeis could do better service
to the nation by concentrating their at
tention on the patriotic duty Of passing
legislation which will give the nation
adequate protection against invasion.
The Brandeis issue is in state of col
lapse, much as the 33 senators may re.
greet the situation.
