We Are Getting Used to 1t.

Heaven help usl The Signal failed
to copyright its Thunder Mountain
envelope and that little map, which
we paid Utter & Luck 81 to sketch
for us, has been clipped off and ap-
propriated by others who haven't yet
offered to stand half the cost OF
drawing. And the descriptive mat
ter, that we sat up nights on and
racked our brains and destroyed our
nervous system to produce, has also
been rudely snatched from us and
utilized verbatim. Figuratlvely
speaking, we've been scalped by saw
age mauraders, our head sawed open
and the contents dipped OUT. We
had put out Al, 900 OF the envelopes
at the time of the holdup and only
3, 900 since, so it is seen that mos'
serious results have resulted

Money Well Spent.

The Signal printery has turned out
5000 advertising pamphlets on
Washington County which would be
a credit to Chicago printing office.
There are eight pages of descriptive
matter and eight pages of half-tone
illustrations. The limited space
called for a very concise and con-
densed record of the country's re-
sources. but the use of illustrations
is important as reading matter IN at
tracing attention. These pamphlets
are for use at the South Carolina ex-
position and the money to pay for
the printing was appropriated out OF
the general county fund by the COM
missioners. This is the first instance
of the kind and the board is fully
endorsed in it's action by the general
nublic. 1t would be good thing
IN utilize a certain amount OF the
public money every year for adver-
tislng purposes. 1t is wise, IN that
it returns the money ten fold because
new population is thus secured who
increase taxable property and the re-
suit is to strengthen the county
finances.
