About Strawberries.
(Duplin Journal.)

Strawberries are in a fouriShing con-
dition and it is generally believed that
the coming crop will be full one. Ihe
plants have had nice seasons and nave
grown all along. A good many growers
have already fertilized their berries
which gives them an advanced growth
and PUTS them ready for blooming in
the early spring.

Since our coming more than forty

Champion Long Distance Writer is
the title which has been given to young
man who lives in Missouri, and, though
the title must have been given thought
lcssly, since his record of twenty-five
thousand closely written foolscap pages
has been exceeded by several writer's, the
young man from Missouri has another
and perhaps better claim to fame. He
has never published line of what he has
written. The author Is peculiar in his
hatred of newspapers. Some time ago he
went from his horne up to st. Louis for
the purpose of becoming Sunday editor
of the Globe Democrat. He neglected to
instil his purpose into the mind of the
manager of the paper before coming, and
he was considerably panied and offended
when he realized that no one shared his
opinion as to his capabilities as an editor.
Morgrave, the author, who does not write
for publication, went back home with a
keen hatred for men connected with news
papers. and says now that no publisher
who has anything to do with newspapers
Will ever get a chance at his manuscripts

Name Changes, What They Mean in Publicity
Kiplirg's Local Popularity. Ernest Seton
AfRuent? With Whom is Mary
Wilkins Fli.tirg?
(By HERBERT BREWSTER }

Now that so many best selling novels
are being published and pushed upon the
market 1T is pertinent inquiry to ask
how the 100000 sales are effected Publ
word to mouth. Advertising is a much
grosser term-too commercial for the DO
lite maker of books But publicity or
advertising is not entirely to blame,
though. it has much to answer for.
Not long ago one of the reputable pub
fishing houses announced with a great
beating OF TOM toms and accompaniment
OF trumpet blasts that the first edition
of Slash Bosh, the great historical ro-
nance, would be 100, 900 copies. The 1O0,-
600 copies were. SO far as can be learned
actually published, but only 10000 copies
were bound up. OF these 10000 were dis
tributed among the book sellers of the
country after great effort. the publishers
promising to advertise heavily in order
to move the stock of congested book
shelves which these copies filled. Up to
the present time only 10000 copies of this
great histor''e dave been sold,
and, as the. book is now rarely called for,
the booksellers will, doubtless, take ad-
vantage Of the return privileges kindly
granted them by the publishers. AS a
result it is beyond doubt a certain con-
clusion that the only one to profit from
the publication of the novel is the au-
thor who. Of course, received royalty
on>all copies actually sold. These royalty
accounts with authors, by the way, are
the only sure guides to exact results in
book circulation. Another publisher spent
last year 900 in advertising one book.
Actually it cost him over 81 to sell each
copy. as, with the utmost effort, the. sale
did not reach 10000. The profit in this
case is a little difficult to figure.
One day last week one of the members
of publishing house called on large
bookseller and was greeted with:
Il want to shake hands with the pub
Usher who has six novels, each exceed
ing a hundred thousand in sale.'
The publisher pulled long face and
replied rather shcepishly: II don't know
about the honor of such reputation. 1t
is rather expensive business, this pub
fishing of best selling books. 1t costs
too much.''
There are, Of course, some large selling
books which are exceedingly profitable
to the publishers, but the best and stead
lest income in the publishing business
is derived from the books which are not
widely popular One great reason why
the selling and advertising of books will
not soon become identical with the push
ing of an ordinary commercial article is
that the margin of profit in book pub
lisning is not large enough to allow tho
same methods. The sensational publish
crs are realizing this more and more. /
doesn't pay them in the long run to ad
vertise more than the merit of the bool
calls for, and, whilc much of the move
advertising is experimental, it is bound
to become more dignified and less SEN
sational

CHINESE BEGGING.

Buffalo, Sept. 24.-Leon F. Czolgosz
was brought before the court OF justice
again this morning and looked bright
er than at any time since he was ar.
rested. He was brought into court
shackled. He is sitting in his usual
place and seems to take an interest in
the proceedings. For the first time
Judge Lewis condescended to speak to
the prisoner in court. Just before
the opening proceedings Czolgosz's
lips moved and he said somt thing, but
not more than half dozen words.
II am given to understand by the
officers who have Czolgosz III charge"
said Assistant District Attorney Hal
ler this morning, ''that the prisoner is
developing symptoms of garrulity and
wants to talk. He desires to make
statement in court and will be given
an opportunity at the proper time. 1
believe he has harangue prepared. "

ed, on diagram, the particular chair

ing.

together. Immediately looked tow
ards the President and saw him
Straighten up, and l saw standing be.

the artilleryman standing to the left
Of the President launched himself for
ward to where the defendant stood,
and at the same instant Mr.. Gallaher,
a secret service officer, also launched
toward the defendant. l caught for

Quackenbush detailed how the prs.
oner was dragged out from under the
group of men who threw him down,
and how secret service detective Fos-
ter struck him. Quackenbush made
a fine witness for the state. His tes-
timony created genuine sensation.
For the first time it is learned that
the prisoner made a complete state
nent in Supt. Bulls headquarters on
The night Cf the shooting. He talked
'reely and without reserve. He said
IN the day of the shooting he had
