The new paper with tho press dis patches no doubt started out with the idea of swallowing up or starving out, in a short while, tho two littjo papers that already Occupied the field. Its fojlure to do this may be attributed by some to bad manage ment, but the failure js more proba bly due to tho fact that a great mis take was made iii trying to absorb or stnrvcrbut two rival papers, small though they were, instead of adopt ing the cheaper plan of buying them out, “lock, stock and barrel.” Even then it would have required much hard work and the best' of manage ment to have made^i daily paper with the Associated Press dispatches self- sustaining in a city of the size of Brunswick.
