The News may continue to add i'm

keep in the forefront OF the list OF
South Carolina country papers. We
believe The News is the best country
paper in the state and we believe il
is worth all that is charged for it
and more.
To keep up with procession

energy. but to lead the procession is
the aim of The News. We have seen

price Of the white paper in each copy
OF The News is more than one and
one-half cents-to be exact. includ

printed papers are delivered at two
cents each and on some of them we
pay as much as one cent postage The
circulation of the paper is constantly
increasing. and on this basis, we lose
money on every subscriber added.
That's not good business
Beginning October 1, the price of
