The versatile young editor of the
GREENE COUNTY HERALD is firm be-
!ieve in the pulling power of Judi
cious advertising. For several weeks
he has been carrying a want ad in
his editorial columns wherein he adj
vertised for good, live, capable,
sober, efficient man to serve as Rail
road Commissioner for the Southern
District. Recently, Pike county S
able sheriff made visit to Greene cou
nty, and in the course his perambula-
tiOns among the good people of that
section he ran across the aforesaid
scribe who directs the destinies OF
the HERALD. The result of that meet
ing seems to have been mutually a.
greeab!e to the distinguish ed gentle
men, and the last issue of the HER
AID 'loes not contain the want ad
above referred to, but instead there
of the following paragraph appeared:
We have found him!
THE right man for Railroad Com
missioner!
: His name is Frank NJ. Lee, and
he's from Pike county. The man
from Pike!'
The Gazette is glad to know that
Pike county's candidate for Railroad
Commissioner measures so fully up
to the high standard fixed by the ed
itor of the HERALD that he consid-
ers further advertising for the right
man wholly unnecessary We can as
sure him that in the event our can
didate is elected, he can never have
cause for complaint that Frank N !,
Lee is not discharging the dnties of
his Office with unalIoyed fidelity and

times Magnolia Gazette.

A Coffin Swap.

A Texas publisher has in prepare
ton paper telling why he refused
coffin in exchange for advertising.
There are several reasons why such
an offer should be declined. The par
ticular coffin might not have been a
good fit, for one thing. Besides, the
publisher might have seen no nme-
date use for the article. All the
hardships of newspaper career do
not tend appreciably to shorten life
Editors and publishers live as long as
their neighbors and, despite the
thorny paths they tread, are in no
hurry to lay down the burden of ex-
iStence.
Pending the time when it would be
needed to enclose the earthly tene-
ment of soul, coffin would be of
little use in a newspaper Office. 1t is
too small for telephone booth and
too lbig for waste basket, and is
scarcely shaped for filing cabinet.
True, the presence of a coffin in the
sanctum might have softening eff
feet on the enraged citizen who calls
to demand retraction, OF the mod
est advertiser who has bought six
inches of space and expects a column
of write-up. But it is doubtful If
even for this reason a publisher would
be warranted in taking coffin in
for an advertisement.
A grave objection to the deal is the
possibility of violating the spirit, if
not the letter, of the new rate law.
If the ancient practice of barter is
held to be illegal, the publ sher who
accepts collins is as fragrant an often
der against public policy as be who
takes railroad mileage Fourth Is

The Arkansaa legislature has en-
acte a law requiring the railroads in
state to charge a fare of 2 cents per
mile for passenger traffic. This is a
good law, one the people are due and
works no injustice upon the railroad.
1t has tendency to increase the pas
senger traffic. Many claim that the
reduction is made up and the ad-
ditional business grows from az cent
fare. Such a law should be enacted by
Mississippi next legislature. -Sena-
