COUNTY PAPERS HARD HIT.
Many of the country weeklies
are very hard hit by the new pos
tal .ruling, says the Augusta Her
ald. Some of them are published
in small towns and their subcrib
ers live principally in the country.
To send a collector around to them
is impracticable since this method
of collecting dues would cost more
than the entire amount of the
gross receipts. The editor is com
pelled to await payment in his of
fice. He has not dared to adopt
the modern business methods
which require payment in advance
for newspaper subcriptions, be
cause he feared that thereby he
would lose a large proportion of
his subcription. The rule in news
paper offices of this class has
' been to send the to every sub
criber on the list, regarless of
the date of the last payment on
subcription: and in this way this
list of subcribers was almost
equal to the number of debtors to
the papers. When a subscriber
dropped in to make payment he
would thereby gladden the
editor’s heart and probaby get
his name in the paper. When he
didn’t rack up to pay, the paper
would be sent him, untill perhaps
finally he died and his adminis
trator was induced to pay the
debtor or this failing, he was
consigned to the place which, ac
cording to the firm faith'of coun
try editors, is reserved in the
warmest comer of a certain
place for delinquent subcribers
