Charles Morris Russell Dumas (1851 – 19 February 1935), generally referred to as Charles M. R. Dumas was a newspaper proprietor and politician in the State of South Australia. ==History== Charles was born in Sydney the second son of Victor Dumas (1806 – 26 December 1882) and his wife Frances (ca.1816 – 20 February 1903); the family moved to Mount Barker in 1854. He was educated at the private school run by his father, then spent a few years in Adelaide to qualify as a Master Printer. In 1872 he purchased Mr. Jolly's printery in Mount Barker, and on 1 October 1880 produced the first issue of the ''Mount Barker Courier'', or to give its full name, ''The Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser''. He supervised the business as the sole proprietor for 54 years, a record rarely equalled in Australian provincial newspapers. He was a member of the South Australian Provincial Press Association, and elected its president in April 1915; he held that position until the time of his death. In 1923 the Provincial Press Cooperative Company of South Australia, which took over the advertising agency of Colonel Hampson, was formed. Dumas was chosen chairman of directors, and retained that position until the time of his death. ''The Courier'' remained in his and his family's hands until 1 May 1938, when it was sold to T. H. Monger. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Dumas (newspaperman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
