SOUTHERN WEALTH.

The census bulletin is the basis of an estimate that the tru" value of property in the South Tn l904 was s15.623 900, 900, against sl2.934, 4,00o,V00 in 1900. In the year 1905 the number of patents issued 10 Southern investors was 2.7Ol. against 2,771 in 1904, and 2.796 in 1903. There has been similar diminution in the United States at large from 2.,819 in 1903 to 27.539 in 1904 and 26,978 in 1905. This diminution has been wittily explained by assum- ing that if necessity is the mother of invention, prosperity is the father of incidence, but the Mem phis News-Scimiter says that the real reason may be in the slow workirN of the patent office, which
 is undermanned because the pay is insufficient to attract and keep an adequate force of skillful exam iners of applications.

THE PUBLICITY MAN

"On the whole the publicity nan is to be welcomed If he did not fill an actual want. he could not make living He saves corporations much trouble The result of his work is to keep the public better informed that it ever was before of what is going on in the great ln- dustries of the country. His copy Is worth reading, or it would not be printed, and he would have to go out Of business From the news papers point of view, his entry as a factor in modern business is a good thing because he is always ac- cessibie. while the man higher tip is. as likely as not, unapproach- able.
 'Jt is fairly evident that the publicity man has come to stay. The importance of the press, the domI- hating force of great corporations iA modern life and the insistence of the public upon knowing about these corporations. have brought him into being. That he flourishes is really an impressive deronstra- ton of the power of public opin- ion - System

The Thrilling Arrest Of James Pling8@

at the time-how sbe had gone
out after wood in the morning and
made the discovery, and how she
ran "skeerd most to DEATH" to the
house and informed her husband,
who Immediately armed himself
with shotgun, a billy and pair
ofhandcuffs, and proceeded to make
the capture.
Mrs. Snoozel, who had lived in
the town thirty-seven years, had
just finished telling of the last man
who was arrested there nine years
ago, how he had rode into town
with her husband, Mr.. Snoozel,
ex-village marshal, and stolen his
demijohn, caught handed in
the act, OF his trial and subse-
quent sentence of two months and
twenty -nine days at hard labor on
the Perkins farm, by Squire Pike,
now long time dead, and Mrs.
Metzen, the dominie's wife, had
just started to tell about the man
who had been arrested for tres
passing in the town she came
from, when Mr.. Tool came rush.
ing into the room, red with rage.
Of course the women we're inquisi-
tive and piled him with such
questions as "sakes alive!S ST, what's
the matter?; HAS he hung his
seIf?" etc.
But Mr.. Tool needed them not,
but simply grabbed his gun and
billy simultaneously and was gone.
Mrs. Tool espied the parsons son,
David, passing the house and
called to him to come in and asked
him the cause of the excitement.
He promptly explained to the
distinguished circle the cause;
namely, that Mr. Ping had gnawed
in two one of the two-by-fours
used as bars and effected his
escape. A posse composed of all
the ble-bodied men and boys
available was hurriedly formed and
forthwith proceeded to scour the
immediate vicinity and adjoining
country for three whole days but
with no success. And as they
struggled in, hungry and weary,
they assembled in the county
courtroom, situated in the cupola
of the city Jail, and adopted the
following resolutions:
Resolved: That taxes be raised
on real estate, chatels and personal
property for the ensuing year to
defray the expenses incurred from
the purchase of iron bars, to be
placed in the city Jail, and a copy
of this resolution be furnished

his authority for making said pur-
chase. j.

ligence that was rudely flung in
their faces by one of their own
townsmen. This portentious bit
of news was embodied in these
words: "a tramp, a real tramp, a
genuine specimen of. the Weary
Willie type had had the hardihood
to venture into the hallowed pre-
cincts of their village during the
past night-means of transpor-
tation unknown-snd occupy
part of Constable Tools woodshed
in lieu of one of the garrett rooms
at the City Hotel for his lodging
place" This piece of startling
news was confirmed by Mrs. Tool,
the worthy wife of the aforesaid
constable. And it was there { in
the woodshed) that Mr.. Tool had
found him and promptly marched
him to the city lookup, where, on
the Jail register and under the
euphonious name of James Ping,
he was then and there charged
with that indefnab)e crime of
vagrancy. and entering building
under cover of darkness.
That afternoon the entire pop
ulation of D. 1.-TWO hundred
and eighteen strong) went thru
the Jail on a tour of general in
spection, testingt the doors. windows
and wooden bars to see that they
were secure. The business men of
the village, consisting of the city
clerk, storekeeper, preacher, mar
shall and dominic respectfully, dis
cussed the epoch-making event in
all it's phases in Squire Higgins
store, which was the best and
mostly patronized one in town-it
being the only one. Many were
the conjectures and prophesies
made by this august body of
D-'s representative citizens.
And the women folks weren't
idle, neither. They had congre-
gated at the home of Mrs. Tool,
and were as eagerly, if not more
so, discussing the news. Open.
mouthed and breathless, with chill
dren clinging to their garments,
occasionally Interpreting it with
such CALCULATIONS as Gland sakes,'
''sakes alive" ETC., they listened to
Mrs. Tools story of the capture,
how she had heard a suspicious
noise in the back yard the night
before-but thought nothing of it

humorists whose work is superior
to that of Americas inimitable
wit, Mr.. Samuel L. Clemens. he
is not only admired and acknowl-
edged to be the dean among Amerl-
can humorists, but his prestige
thruout Europe is as great as 1t IS
in this country. For almost halt
a century this peerless dlsturber
Of our disabilities has maintained
his reputation as fun provoker,
DESTROYER of the blues, dispenser
of happiness and laughter, and
bringer of Joy to the depressed and
weary of heart and soul. His
books are translated in almost
every language where literature Is
cultivated. The average Brltlsher
ia IA familiar with his charming
personality as he is with that OF
Kipling's, England's fearless and
brilliant poet. In Germany and
France he is as equally we'll known,
for European royalty have paid
him many high honors. During
his recent trip to England he was
given an ovation that for spon-
taneous affection and sincerity has
seldom been accorded to kings and
emperors. The whole nation wed
with each other in making his
Wait a memorable one, and to
Mark Twain was paid many en-
dearing compliments that he will
always remember.
However, in the land OF his
b,rth-the land that his genius
has helped to make famous-the
pseudonym of Mark Twain Is
known in every hamlet. HIS
fame Is heralded from the flower
strewn coast of California to the
hospitable shores of the Atlantic;
from the Gulf of Mexico to Green
lands chilly cline. Everywhere
he is apotheosized by the lowly
and the great-all delight in pay
ing homage to this venerable and
lovable humorist.
Like most celebrities, Mr.. Glenn
ems early life was fraught with
poverty; but like many OF his H.
lustrious predecessors among the
world of letters, he conquered
poverty, slew the proverbial hungry
wolf, and marched on to carve out
a name that can be seen around
the globe. He has been printer,
reporter, editor, steamboat pilot,
publisher, author and lecturer; but
he has achieved his greatest fame
as a humorist. AS humorist he
will be known in the years and
ages to come.
Mark Twain's writings are many
and varied. His wit is not caustic;
he appeals more to the heart than
to ones ranking passions. He
rarely uses living personalities, so
conspicuous of many of our latter
day humorists. His humor is
rich without being racy; vivid and
vitalized without being vapid. 1t
is free from those rapier thrusts
80 characteristic Of Mr.. DUNES,
who, under the guise of witticism,
hurls thunderbolts of ridicule,
shafts of venomous sarcasm, and
good natured reproofs at public
men and conditions which do not
meet his approval. Nor can Mr..
Clemens be classed with such
humorists az "Artemus Ward"
(CharIes F. Brown) Josh Bill
lings,' Henry w. Shaw or with
Wallace F. Erwin who is now
rapidly gaining an audience as a
witty satirist in prose and poetry.
Indeed no! Not one of the fore
going gentlemen has such world
wide audience as has Mr.. Clemens;
