The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1922-12-15

There are All k:ndS Of people IN TIE
woLd, and we suppose there are ike
wise all sorts and kinds of editors and
publishers Of newspapers.
Somehow We like the personal sort
of editor, and by that we do not
mean thai we should De personal IN
what we say or write, but TIE kl2d
OF personal editor VINO sakes al his
readers into his confidence and keeps
them there, and whose subscribers are
regarded as members Of his family
and who feel personal interest IN
him and ne in them, sort OF friend
~ and loyal and pleasant family re-
lationship. That is the kind o. ccl-
to, the old newspapers knew, you
aenizea the paper by the writer
of the editorial column, and who was
responsible for what he wrote ana
published, rather than the hired wrlS-
Ell who wrote for SO mach a coiu2la'
and who was not personally known
to his readers. That possibly is old
fashioned and somcwast fossiiizsd,
but we plead guilty % the liking for
that typc OF editor. Whether we are
that sers or not we are net fully pei
suaded. end we are willing to admit
mat We do not measure Up TO the
standard we have set for the editor OF
the country paper, or even the city
daily.
We say this much off the subject
asa sort cf explanation for the many
signed editorials that have appeared
In this paper from time to time. IN
looking back over the old files OF the
paper we would like TO know some
times who was the author, o. who
wrote some of the articles that we
find in these old files, and to tell the
truth we are not always sure of the
ones We wrote.
And then the s;c-!!3ject al the head OF
this article may have no sort OF ref
Srence TO this Introductory, but we
want TO say something about the Of
fce as present, and some cf the 'trou-
6lcs AID tribulations that nave csme
our way In the last few days, AID TO
pay tribute in feeble R&y 70 the
faithful ones who are rev Ssa;.A--inSs. :.
with US at the shop, and i We cid cot
feel that ours subscribers are mem

feel like writing this article.
Taking about circulation the Am
!. esican Sales company is putting out
.se BIGGEST paper this week that has
ssan issued ;as ais eo1nFyin some
rasons. The edition, pss IL c;reala

reading matter. was 1900 and this
section is going out IN tie regular ed

tanning four pages Of this issue, and

pasing member of this firm who
wrote and designed the four page

the get up, not only of the design in
these four pages, sbut also of the
manner in which he puts thesfaets Of
the many things this big firm has for
the Christmas trade.
But, you know it was some job for
a small force to get out this big edi-
ton for Mr.. Piatchuck, and do the
other work in the Office, but Mr. Thos.
T. McNally that big hearted Irishman
and good printer who is now with US
tackled the job just ike it was easy,
and he was ably assisted by the Hne
young n,sn who has recently come to
rs from Colun;ia Ar. L. w. Nichd-
son, and our faithful linotype opera
tor, Miss Esrssase Woodson, an
with fine cooperation we got the joo
ready for the press. And then it was
up to our faithful colored pressman,
John Wilson, and he is faithful and
has the tenaeisa~and the stickative-
ness that is bound to win, and he did
win and handled the big old press in
good shape.
But, we had some accidents and
