In the ‘first place, its citizens ‘must ‘aubscribe liberally fur the paper, thereby showing that they are willing to lielp ulong all new, legitimate and honorable _enterpris- es that come to their town, also showing that they believe in giving their homes the benefit of all the enlightening ‘and educating influences thant they ean secure.

It will soon have to yield up; the ghost, if the ; bhsiness men. of its town are 100 niggard- Iy or too slow. in business. to advertise. | Does it pay to advertise? The answer is easy.

Neither are we going to con: duct any mnd-glinging campaigns, Life ia too short to quarrel over polities, yet a man can ‘be a bitter partisan without being a blued fool. We will edit a “tepublican paper because we believe i in the principles of the republican party, : and being Americans, the freest people earth, we will not hesitate to speak Lpolitical views whenever oceasion may reqitire it. God hates a coward and this paper lintes a cowurd. Bat Tue will uot, strictly speaking, be a po: ei eal paper. Its chief object will be to print thie local and ‘current news, but whenever we can give you a few repub- fica. truths that will in no way abuse anyone, why, of course. we'll print ‘em. It has been suggested to us by a few persons that the paper had perhaps better be nentral in politics. With all due respect for the opinions of those per- sons, we beg leave to differ with them. Tlie straight out and ont neutral paper does not exist; it is only the so-called neutral paper. The neutral paper is like some straight men-—they are so straight thot ‘they lean backward, and parallel casei @re numerous among neutral news- papers. They are so nentral that their! publishers’ political feelings invariably ¢rop oul, _about election time, and if they don’t they want to so awful bad that it gives aman 8 pain away down in his very feet. No, we want no political neu. trality in ours, but as we have ‘said be: fore, we shall leap no aljuse upon those who differ with us in politics. for we liave long aXo found out that neither all the good men nor all the dirty rascale dre confined to anyone party. We got along very nicely with our political opponents r | inthe west, and we believe we can do so here. Out there ‘many of our most sub- stantial patrons were democrats, although 1 our paper published thers was a very radical republican sheet, much more rad- ical than it will be here. The day is about past for men to dislike on boycott: ‘each other ‘om aceoun of politics. ‘The man in these days who so far’ forgets | himself as to get “on his ear” about poli. cs, is 100 ted upon. as a pretty shallow Touvk after the duties of an office. You will’ office, or for any other office that has nothing whatever to do with the law- making power of the country. In voting for state or national officers, it is seldom that many of us are personally requainted with any of the candidates, hence we vote for the men wlio represent the prin- ciples we believe in. But when it comes to voting and working for the election of town or county officers, offices that have nothing to do with law-making, then politica should be Iaid uside and the best men put in office; regardless vf their po: litical afiliations. “Of course. if you think your party ticket for the offices aforesaid a good one, then we think itis the proper thing todo to vote the ticket of your party, even for the smaller offices. But we wish to say right here that this paper ‘will never support a candidate for a town. or county office whom we know to be dishonest, © intemperate, or In any way unfit to serve the people and properly We . | believe every honest man and (rue Amer- 1 fda citizen will admit away down deép in’ his heart, i he does not do so opetily, that we are right in this. The future of our town is the most im- portant thing for us all wr think about. How can’ we improve it and mike it het: ter?

Can not the great’ bulk of all this money be kept at homey If it isn’t mostly spent at home. in the future, it will show that there is some- thing wrong somewhere. The business ‘men of Salisbury have as much eapital to do business with as the business men of most any other town, snd thers is no reason why Salisbury. stores should not become. more; and more popular all the time. = Everything should be; kept for | sale in Salisbury hat can be’ secured i in any other’ country town, andif i Inu Kept here, the people will go whére is is: ks Rept.

We hardly think we will be annoyed in that way here. but it may be well enpugh to speak about these things. = We will therefore say that we will never advertise anything of a money-making character free of charge, for there is no reason why we should. We aré in this business to make aliving out of it, und will advertise noth: ing free, only such things as are free to} ‘the public, If there is an entertainment Or concert that wants to be ‘advertised, let it pay for its advertising and. wo ‘will | take pleasure in paying for our tickets to | the concert. And if there is a church fair, festival or supper for the purpose off making money for the church, let it also pay for its advertising, if it wants any, and we will take pleasure in patronizing all such things and paying good hard money. for’ everything we wish to buy there.
