We mail copies ot the News this
week to many who arc not actual sub.
seribers, hoping therby to obtain the
subscription of many who would not
otl wrwiao ever become subscribers to
the News. This is the only means by
which we can obtain subscription from
a distance for a paper has got to be
seen to be appreciated.
Right hear let 11 s record one incident
that taken place not long since. We
mailed a copy of (he news to a Savan
nahiun. and perhaps being fearful of
the newspaper law, or his rosposibility
to the publisher returned the copy to
us by return mail. Now while we
give him credit lor the vast amount of
knowledge he porssesscs regarding the
newspaper law, when parties Sake
periodicals . ot . any kind from the office ^

paying for the material
lie soon became dissatisfied at that
wa y ot working and then we hired him
tor $26.00 pt i month. At tneexpera

decided that would not do, and at the
