WILL NOT GET MORE THAN
HE EXPECTS, EITHER.
Mr. T. J. Lowery, who lately sold
the Yadkin Valley News, at Mt. Airy,
has established the Granite City Guide
at that place. In the first number he
says : "We hope to receive enough
patronage to pay running expenses. In
fact we are not looking for any big
thing just now only a living for our
self and family and help." States

The brother will not get more than
he expects, either. Newspapers are
not very profitable at best, even when
conducted on business principles, for
the money that there is in them, and
when a man goes into it simply be
cause he has nothing better to do, and
is content to drag along with just pat
ronage enough to pay running ex
penses, he will not do that very long.
1 here are plenty ot that sort ot men
adorning (?) the newspaper profession
already. What is needed arc men of
business tact and judgment, men of in
dividuality and independence, who
are ambitious of achieving greater
things for themselves and their fellow-
men than winning the bare necessities
of food and clothing. In short, the
newspaper profession wants more think
ing men, men of progressive ideas,
brave, courageous and independent,
who shall be leaders rather than mere
imitators and followers.
Any reference to Wilmington brings
out the point that North Carolina as a
State Should set a higher value upon
its metropolis. Wilmington deserves
a larger share of trade from the interi
or of State. Its relation with the rest
of the State should be closer. Ral
