Durden on Papers
What ever may be the outcome
of the efforts of Congress to de
vise war taxes that will lay the
■principle burden on war profits
Tthe newspapers of the country
bid fair to continue to be among
the principal financial ufferers
from the war.
From”the very beginning of
the war down to date, the news
papers have been operating at
extra heavy expense, They are
■obliged to print the regular cur
rent news of the day and the
-war news in addition. Telegrap
hic service has cost them heavily
Type metal, ink and other mat
trials have advanced in price
The cost of white paper has tre
mendously increased. And over
Against these extra expenses, the
;the volume outadvertising since
the war has run below normal,
due to the general decline in bus
iness which was the first result
«of "the war in this country.
The newspaper to-day, more
than ever before, is earning ev-
■ery dollar it receives, and no local
-enterprise is [contributing more
to the upbuilding of its local com
munity. The patrons of a news
paper, generally speaking, reap
far more benefits from its pages
than its publisher, who is strug
gling under ajiload ofj heavy ex
pense and curtailed income.
Keaton Comes Back
My Dear People: With our
Ed’s permission I’ll drop you a
few lines.
As it has been a long time
since addressing you in these
columns, I hardly know what to !
write, but I’ll say to “Bill Blue:”
Old Scout, you’re as welcome
back here as the flowers in May.
Guess you all done heard about
the war, so I’ll not tell you'|
about it.
Much has happened since last |
I wrote, you and new, strange
conditions seem to be in process
of formation throughout t lie |
whole world.
Last winter when mo and mv
friend. H. K. Banks, both moved
to Carrollton I got uneasy for
fear old Douglas’ best citizen
ship wa3 deterioating, hut as
I’VE returned, the danger is
now past.
1 came here hoping to establish
a permanent junk business
whereby I could[make an honest
living and help the community
by paying cash for a lir.e of stuff
hitherto valueless to them.
I feel that in a measure I have
succeeded, for in my few shoit
weeks of residence here I’ve
spent hundreds of dollars, and
several have made me immeasur
ably glad by assuring me that I
am helping the city and sur
rounding country.
This suits me, as I detest be
ing a clog in the wheels of prog
ress.
With a vcy few exceptions
the people here are kind and
seem anxious to contribute some
thing to my success.
I desire to thank everyone who
have given me their patronage
or rendered me aid in any way.
I doubt if any town on the
Southern Railway can boast a
finer set of business men than
Douglasville. No wonder this
burg is doing things.
Trusting the good people, will
continue to give me their busi
ness, I am faithfully yours,
John H. Keaton.
P. S. How would you all like
for me to establish a cash mar-
Ket tor produce? Let me hear
from you. J. H. K.
