Both papers are printed at the -Watchman office and -so far as the news is concerned,, they are issued as a semi-weeklyn. One pasrgmng the, news f ramFriday tq Tuesday and the other giving it from Tues day to .Friday. They are entirely differnt, each giving all news of of interest up to the hour of going to press, but uo more: The ad vantage in this" arrangement to the reader is just the same as any semi-weekly whien compared with & weekly. The quantity and qual ity o news is greater and abetter, is furnished ottaner ana iresnr and it is prepared especially for our readers. This latter litem is of considerable importance to those who wish accurate aui reli able information. The disadvan tage iu taking only one of these papers lies in the fact that the reader will, get only about halt of the news and very often the very piece of news which he is in terested in and wants to see will be found in the . paper he does not take. The man who takes a semi-weekly and gets only one copy and misses one becomes dissatisfied, he knows he is missing something and generally finds time to kick. Knowing thiB to be true, and, knowing that he who does not tike both copies of our semi-weekly, The i Carolina Watchman and r . t : 1 1 a i mm nuwAK xt&uimu, win uuu himBelf in the same condition, we therefore urge all who can to-tuke both papers. The price is only $1.00 Der year and the subscriber will get more news than can be secured elsewhere for the same money. This combination arrangement 0 THE WATCHMAN and ttECORD was made for the purpose of ac commodating those who want a. semi-weekly. Any one trying these papers as indicated will find that they secure all the news fresher and in a more readable form than can be gotten elsewhere fcr th) same money. Call and get free sample copies.
