NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

From Short Talks On Advertising by Chas. Austin Bates.
 Advertising Is business news. It tells of the things which are of great daily inn portance. It is of more account to the fru- | gal housewife to know where to get cer- tain necessary commodities at less price 1 than usual than to know of the troubles in | Siam and Alaska.
 The news should be news It should not | be allowed to grow stale with repetition in | the same old way.
 l If you can advertise only in small way,
 pick out the best paper In your territory | and spend all your advertising money in 1 that When your business grows and you 1 can spend more money, buy more space in l the same paper, until you are using all l you profitably can.
 Properly executed, newspaper advertising
 will always pay. That here and there there | is a man who says, Advertising doesn't | pay. I have tried it. proves nothing but | that his methods were faulty. It Is the | persistent, systematic effort that pays in | advertising as we'll as in everything else. In taking medicine, the regularity of the l dose is almost important as the medicine l itself. For that reason the columns Of newspaper offer the very best mediums for 1 business announcements. For that reason l programmes, wall hangers and schemes of | all sorts, from the industrial write-up of i the town down to picture cards, are never l effective.
 l I have been a publisher of programmes | and other schemes" and I have adver- 1 tised in them, and in my whole experience l on both sides of the fence I have never I known of a single advertisement that paid. l The local newspaper goes into the house. 1 hold bristing with intelligence brimfu of | the news of the world, and sparkling with | the daily doings of the community. If its | advertisers are awake to their opportuni- l ties, it contains business news of value, for l it pays to read advertisements. | John Wanamaker has said ITO discon- | tinue your advertisement is like taking 1 down your sign"
 That is just the idea. You have a sign
 above your door to let people know who | you are and what you are doing. That Is l what your ad does. Space in newspapers merely multplies your signs. It lets thous- | ands of people know what you have to sell

made. All are woodworking shops, and that is what this city greatly needs. Bir- mingham is the central town of a district that is rich in hard woods. as well as of yellow pine and the softer woods. Nearly every tree known to forestry in the United States can be found in this district. Not a foot of the raw material needed in the three factories need be transported more than fifty miles. Much of it is close at hand. The proposed chair factory should, and doubtless would, become the rallying point of a cluster of specialized furniture factories, working up Alabama of considerable towns elsewhere. Grand Rapids in Michigan, is founded on furni- ture-making, and it Is larger and veal thier town than even Greater Birmingham. Its factories use, to some extent, Alabama hard woods. Atlanta is also a furniture making town, possessing a dozen prosper ous factories and up in North Carolina is a town of several thousand people, High Point, that is wholly dependent for growth and prosperity upon furniture making.
 We need diversity in manufactures, but in every case circumstances should be con- suited. In every case the raw material should be close at hand, and that will be the case if the three factories named are brought here. And that is the reason why the needful effort should be made to bring them. They will prosper here. They will grow here. They will attract similar fac tories. And the usufruct, the unearned increment so to speak, will, of course, accrue to Greater Birmingham.

Race Wars in Two States.

The race-war in Scott county, near For est, in Mississippi. seems to be without political or social significance. A constable endeavored to arrest a negro who was charged with the commission of a murder ous assault The constable and his posse were fired on from ambush, and one of his men was killed and three were wounded. Retaliation followed. and what is known as a race-war was temporarily inaugural ed, but there Is no evidence whatever that anything came into the case except re- sistanee to the enforcement of the law.
 In North Carolina a race-war has sprung up in Wilmington and the lumber districts within a hundred miles of that city. La bor and the color line and to some extent politics enter into this contest The mer- chants of Wilmington and the sawmiil men of the interior are determined to sub- stitute white for negro labor. There is a determination to make the movement per manent and effective. Wilmington desires to become white mans town, instead of a dumping ground for the blacks of eastern North Carolina. The discharge of con- siderable number of negroes at Lumberton has led to rioting, and as all eastern North Carolina is in the movement, more trouble is expected It is claimed that the move ment will go on after the approaching election. There is an abundance of white labor in the state, and the effort to sup lant negro labor with white labor can per- haps be accomplished. especially if the ne- groes will go back to the farms and to cot- ton raising, for the disturbed district is in the cotton belt.

The ConViCts of the State.

The report of the board of convict in- spectors shows that the states cotton mill ( is progressing satisfactorily. The state farms are not yet self-sustainfng. but the circumstances have been very adverse. The cotton crops were damaged last year by thoughts, and this year by excessive rains. Improvements and repairs have been ex- pensive, and the bad condition of convicts received from over-crowded .and fll-kept jails has operated against productive re- suits on the state farms. They may yet become self-sustaining. and even profitable, as the convict farms in the state of Missis- sippi are and long have been.
 When the cotton mills and the state arms show good profits, the policy of the state should ue away from the coal mines, End towards the cotton mills and farms. Disguise the fact as we may, there is more Ar less hardship, If not cruelty. connected with coal-mining in this state. The veins Tn many cases are thin, and the floor of he mine is not always dry. It Is not good ,,lace for any but the robust. Humanity IS well as good policy seem to look to an
 
 -xtension of the cotton mill and careful supervision of the state farms, with a view of making them, in the long run, the home of the prisoner of the state. He would then be out of the hands of contractors, and entirely under the control of the state
 The death rate includes 24 killed by &C., cident. The entire death rate is nearly double the rate outside the convict camps. It was 27.45 per annum in each one thousand rcceived-170 out of 3,096 convicts received in the last two years. This rate is an im- provement upon the preceding two years, but it is abnormally high, and goes to show that service in the coal mines should be avoided as soon as 1t practically can be.
 Efforts have been made to raise the re- llgious and educational standing of the convicts, but it has not been attended by marked results. Perhaps some reasonably compulsory rules could be adopted in the matter of education. There is really no reason why any convict should go out of prison iliterate, if the state so wills 1t. And some mild form of compulsion might be introduced looking to their moral and religious training without any serious in- fraction of any constitution or code. At present all training, moral, spiritual and mental, is of voluntary nature, and this does not go far in the case of convicts.

THE FORBIDDEN CITIES OF MEN

From the New lork Journal.
 F In palace in the heart of Pekin. the Chinese keep the captive, hardly more than
 a lad, whom they call their emperor. No
 haggard prisoner at Sing Sing, tossing on Il pallet under the eyes of the death watch
 and waiting the summons to the fatal chair
 is less free than he,' or standing closer to an Unnatural death. For the helpless emperor, having the title and none of the power of a despot, all pleasures are provided except lthe pleasures which imply freedom. Moth ing is left undone to engage his mind with
 all that is sensuous, tri1ing, amusing, so Hhat the dominant spirits of the bureauracy Surrounding him may misgovern the nation Esas they will. About his palace Is the For bidden City, into which none not of fhe prescribed caste may enter. About the Forbidden City wall sixty feet thick to shut out all intruders who might disturb the medieval conditions of life and of every hand the young emperor is environed by men whose interests are involved in maintaining the existing methods of gov- ernment. He is shut out from foreign in- fuences, insulated effectively from the electric current of modern thought. He even knows that, emperor as he is, there are castes and officials about him powerful enough to choose successor to the im- perial purple, when, to ''save his face" or to maintain his honor he must die by his own hand.

The Trusts and the Law.

The decisions of the supreme court in the antitrust cases thoroughly, broadly and finally settle the questions that have been raised as to the constitutionaiity of acts designed to break up combinations that re- strict interstate trade. The trans-Missouri decision and the decisions recently handed down are not so much anti-railroad decis- ions, as they are antitrust decisions. They do business in more than one state. Con- gress, says the great court has power to regulate as it sees fit all contracts and com- binations that interfere with the opera ton of the general law of competition. That is certainly broad enough to cover all trusts of an interstate nature. Anything in re- straint of trade, anything that interferes with the course of prices to a lower level through the operation of competition, stands condemned.
 The court handed down with the Joint Traffic association decision, decisions in some cattle trust cases from Kansas City, thus making plain the application of the tation. Every trust doing business in more than one state is today transacting busi- ness in an unlawful manner. There are hundreds of such unlawful trusts, all or nearly all, sheltered by the Dingley bill, many of the provisions of which were drawn by the trusts and placed in the bill by their influence. It is these concerns that largely supplied the fat that carried MT. Mckinley into the white house. MT. Hanna has recently worked these illegal and monstrous concerns for funds with which to carry New York and other states, and elect a republican house.
 The question before the country now is, will the decision of the court making plain the power and responsibility of the govern ment under the antitrust act, be respected and carried out? Dingleyism made such monstrosities possible, and the country now demands that this portion of the danger ous work of Dingleyism be undone. The best way to secure such action on the part of the government consists in the election of demoeratic house next month. With out a democratic house there will be no moving power against the trusts, who will without it, proceed to defy the country and all law. The responsibility for the trusts rests in its last analysis upon such states as New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. A decision is needed next month that will carry into full effect the principles just endorsed by the court of last resort.

tress of mediaeval bigotry, intolerance. ig- norance. superstition, corruption and inertia the spirit of freedom penetrated, in some way. By some devious channel germ of modern thought passed all the barriers which barbaFism had erected. The emperor amazed and mortified his jailers by expressing desire to grant to his peo- pie at least measure of freedom for the press.
 It was not a triumph for the young em- peror Rumor has it variously that he was assassinated, deposed, coerced or impris- oned. But 1t was a triumph for the spirit of liberty-to it that can be no Forbidden City, no wall it cannot surmount, no bureauracy it cannot undermine, disnte- grate, overthrow.
 We have our Forbidden Cities too, and if they are less material they are not less sordid than the gilded cage of the Chinese emperor. Built of prejudices and selfish ness, they hold the minds encompassed by them ignorant of the earnest endeavors making by the millions without for the ad- vancenent and the betterment. of humani- ty Sycophants and parasites surround the captives adding with accursed industry day by day to the thickness of the prison walls. Outside, men of lofty intellect and nobility of purpose plead or thunder at the gates usually in vain. Its only some cranks an anarchist; some fellow who wants to over- throw property" report the warders and turnkeyS to the prisoner within, who has the birth, the means and perhaps the intel lect to be emperor in fact could he but overthrow his environment.
 Once in awhile into our Forbidden Cities the spirit of freedom and of thought forces its way and we read of a Tolstoi giving his life and his fortune to his fellow men, of a Russian employing wealth and genius in showing men their wrongs and the way out; of men like Wendell Phillips turning their backs~on their class and their ambi- tions to free the negro slaves.
 Happy the man who escapes from our Forbidden Cities of class prejudice and sell fish dogmas. For him work of surpass- ing interest, assured triumph and a place in the hearts of coming genrations of men.

Second Crop Potatoes

From the Troy Messenger.
 We were handed some Irish potatoes a few days since by Professor B. M. Shack elford. Very fine potatoes they were.
 Professor Shackelford informs us that they were of his second crop, planted in August. The second crop of Irish potatoes should be planted in July, but notwith- standing this, Professor Shackelford raised quite good quantity, and a good quality as well, all of them being of large size. This plainly illustrates what can be done with these potatoes, and if some of our farmers would devote little time and ground to their cultivation they would Mobably profit by it. Irish potatoes should find a ready market.

DRINKING WATER FOR SMALL Towl

DRINKING WATER FOR SMALL TOWNS From the Sanitarian. f
 Agitation about drinking water has reached the small towns, and almost all are seeking for new supply to supplant the old well.
 Somehow or other people have gotten the idea that spring water, no matter where 1t comes from, is the thing to be desired, and if the spring has source high enough to permit the use of the water by gravity without costly pumping works 1t is con sidered an ideal supply. So few of the prominent citizens of the town get togeth- CT, buy land, lay pipes, and before long claim to have a pure mountain spring, va ter-the best in the land. <
 Now, the fact is that spring water, pe- cause it is spring water, IS no better, hot even as good, as some other waters; Just this day I made a chlorine examination of A sample of Croton water and samples Of spring water from some Pennsylvania his, and the result was considerably in favoT or Croton water. A spring is no better than a well, except that it is very often situatee in an uncultivated upland; If 1t Is III a. town or surrounded by dwellings it. is of-, ten worse than a well on account of being so readily polluted by surface washings.
 Another point worth remembering is that these towns, when they have procured a water supply presumably pure, expect it to look out for itself, and here they make 8 fatal mistake; for to- keep water pare which is in any way near human habita- tion needs human vigilance. There ist a small town. near Harrisburg, Penn, which recently tapped fine lspring in thef Blue mountains Originally 1t was pure stp-, ply. but the town which uses the water exercises no care over the gathering grounds, and as a result cows from neighboring pasture wallow in the spring. Of course this does not likely breed dis ease, but 1t demonstrates at least that this community is not getting as pure water as if ina gineS 'f= fsa
