HINTS ON ADVERTISING.

The only test of advertising is the
results it brings.
Advertise your business, so as to
have a business to advertise.
No advertisement is bad which has
served its purpose-that is, sold
goods.
Between two advertisements, the
one which sells the largest number
of goods to the largest number of
people is the best. .....
Every ad ought to have a central
idea, around which subordinate
ideas cluster. That is what is meant
by lone idea" in an ad.
The plain, ordinary people, who
are neither very rich nor very poor,
are the greatest readers of advertis-
ing. Address your appeal to them.
A circulation, no matter how large,
which does not reach the particular
people who are apt to buy the ad-
vertiser's wares, is of little value.
The newspapers is the ideal ad-
vertising medium. The reader pays
w SOC lV' Idhoo IL W HlS OWu HOlll6
and fireside, and before it is thrown
away, everyone, from pater famil-
las down to the servant, has read it.
The advertisement writer is often
a necessity, because he looks at the
merchants goods in the same way as
the purchaser, and the same ques-
ton that occur to him. In answer
ing these questions he makes good
advertisement,

House.

Mr.. Craig introduced bill to de-
fine and legalize primary elections
and to provide the manner of hold
ing the same, and to fix the penalty
for the violation of the same.
The discussion of the Railroad
Commission bill was taken up.
Mr.. Norfleet offered the following
new section, which was adopted:
"Be it further enacted, that where
any city or town in this State has
competition existing in freight rates
between railroads and rivers, it shall
be the duty of the Railroad Commits
sion provided for in this act to regu-
late the freight rates of all railro ads
in cities and towns so situated, ac-
cording to the rates fixed and charg-
ed by river transpOrtion companies
in competition with such railroads" :"
Mr.. Kinney offered an amendment
which provides that an appeal may
be had from the award of the Com
mission to the Circuit or Criminal
Courts from those courts to the Su-
preme Court, and that the testimony
taken before the Commission shall
be conclusive and no more evidence
shall be taken. Adopted.
An amendment by Mr.. Warren, to
make the act take effect after July
l, 1897, was tabled.
A number of fervent speeches, for
and against, were made by the legis-
lators.
Mr.. Chenault made a red-hot
speech in favor of the bill. He
pleaded with the members not to
destroy the bill. He asked them to
protect their people by voting for it.
Mr.. Brandon, of Stewart, con!
sidered the bill imperfect and very
expensive indeed. He was in favor
of controlling the railroads to GER
tain extent. The Democratic plat
form did not declare for such a
measure. He could not vote for
such bill, as imperfect as this.
Competent men could not be secured
at the salaries stipulated in the bill.
Mr.. Nortleet spoke in favor of the
bill. He did not think it was per-
feet, but would do as a starter. Th e
people of the State demanded such a
bill. Thirty-two states in the Union
have such commissions and Tennes-
see should also have such law on
her statute books.
The vote was taken on the bill and
it failed on account of constitutional!
maiority-ayes 49, noes 46. Maury's
representatives, Messrs. Smith aud
Courtney, and hoater Stockard
voted for the passage of the bill.
\ motion was entered to recon-
slider.

CONTRACTS ARE CLOSED.
Three Firms Agree to Use 207 Coz
Yicts,

Three Firms Agree to Use 207 Con-
yicts.
The Brandon penitentiary law wa S
put into active operations last Sat-
urday when the penitentiary COM
missioners, Gov. Taylor, Attorney
General Pickle and Secretary of
State Morgan, signed contracts for
the hire of the labor of 297 convicts.
The firms which will employ the
convicts in manufacturing work are
James Parrish, shoe manufacturer,
of Nashville; the Lake Shore Hos
iery Company, of Laconia, n. H.,
and Leo Kaufman & Co., hosiery
manufacturer, of New York City.
The contracts are all for six years,
and the amount of money derived
by the State from the same for that
period will aggregate at least $780,
600 and perhaps more.
While the conVictS are engaged in
working for these manufacturing
concerns they will be confined in
the prison walls, as required by law.
They will also be clothed and fed by
the State. The work for the present
will be conducted at the old peni-
tentiary. 1t is expected that the
Legislature will authorize the erec-
ton Of factory buildings at the new
penitentlary. If this is done, the
work will be carried on there.
The question of the competition Of
convict labor with free labor natur-
ally arises. 1t is said that the prices
paid in the hosiery department. are
equal to, if not higher than those
paid to free labor for the same kind
of work. AS a matter of fact the
prices contracted for by the prison
commissioners are higher than free
labor commands in other States. A
gentleman in this State who is en-
gagged in knitting hosiery submitted
a bid to the commissioners for con-
vict labor. He said that the price
which the Lake Shore Hosiery Com
pany agreed to pay for convict labor
was 20 per cent. higher than he was
now paying for free labor engaged
in the same kind of work. Mr.. Par
rish will use free labor in doing a
portion of his work. He will have
men to act as foremen and to super
intend the work done by the con-
victs.
These concerns will manufacture q
grade of goods equal to the finest
that is put upon the market. The
prison commissions are highly elat-
ed over the completion of the con-
tracts, and are confident that the
venture will prove a vast benefit to
the State. This system is not re-
vival of the old lease system. The
convicts are to remain under the
care and strict protection of the
commissioners, who will not allow
them to be abused.

An Honest Mistake,

A polite mistake was that of a
man of color in Maury County,
Tenn, whose former master had
allowed him the use of a piece of
land on condition that he-the own
er-should receive one-fourth of the
crop.
When the corn was ripe the la
borer hauled the loads to his own
house, and none to that of his old
master.
Then he innocently went up to the
big" house, to return the landlords
wagon, which he had used in haul
ing.
"Well, Jack" said the landlord,
"where is my share of The corn?'
You ain't got none, sab, was the
sympathetic reply.
Haven't got any! Why, Twas to
have a fourth of all raised, wasn't l?
Yes, sab, but dar wasn't no
fourth. Dar wasn't but just three
loads. .'-Fayetteville Observer.
