ONE PAPER LESS
(From Savannah Press.)


We note that the South Georgia Pro
gress, published at Americas, has an
nounced its suspension. 1t has been
daily morning paper for the past
year Or more. Previous to that time it
was a weekly. The Americas Times
Recorder, which is published in the
afternoon, is to take care of the paid
in-advance subscribers to the Progress,
which has abandoned both its morn
ing and its weekly editions. Mr.. E. H.
Bradley, who has been in charge of the
city news department of the Progress,
is to be associated with Editor Gran
ston Williams in the publication of the
Times-Recorder.
The truth of the matter is that
Americas has never been two-paper
town One daily newspaper could fur
nish all the news and do it at less
expense to the subscribers and adver-
Users of the town than could two pa
pers. The Progress has been very
bright editorially, and it showed some
genuine enterprise in it's news depart
ment, but the field simply was not
open for such venture, when it is
recalled that the Times-Recorder has
been serving the readers of the com
munity with a daily paper for many
years.
There are a lot of people who are
led into the establishment of news
paper under the impression that a
newspaper is a ready money-maker
from the date of its first issue, or that
o man should have a private organ to
irfict upon a patient public his pri-
vate grievances and views. Those who
are led into the business of newspaper
publication through either of these
channels are, as rule, very quick to
discover their error. And such err
rors are, as rule, costly.
The newspaper situation will be con-
siderabIy cleared III Americas by this
new combination or consolidation or
absorption whatever it may be. The
town will give one paper a united sup
port which means success, where in
the recent past it has given two news
papers a divided, and, therefore, in
different support and there has not
been that success to which either was
entitled, and which either could get
with the other removed as a competi-
tor.
