ABOUT ADVERTISING-NO
How to Write Retail

The construction engineer plans his road

works along the lines of least resistance.
The advertisement which runs into noun
famous style is badly surveyed d-aU minds are
not built for high level thinking.
Advertising must be simple. When it
is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of

The advertiser who can fire the most facts
in the shortest time gets the most returns.
Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit
blank talk, however clever, is only wasted
space.
You force your statesmen to keep to solid
facts-you don't allow them to sell muslin

excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not
tolerate in your bxinted selling talk anything
that you are not willing to countenance in
personal salesmanshib.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and hiatt is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
the tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Program for The Future.

Preach politics! Yes, the Metho-
dist ministers of Georgia are going to
preach politics from now on, when
ever the occasion arises, just as they
have done in the past. Why we have
got prohibition just because the Meth
odists and our good Baptist brothers
preached politics of the prohibition
variety Our program is to first
make strong, upright manhood, and
second to direct that manhood as far
as we can into the right lines of ac-
tivity in public as we'll as in private
affairs. We believe in a militant
Christianity, Christianity that stands
for what it conceives to be the right
and knows no fear We believe in an
organized Christianity for Christian
effort, not only in missionary work at
home and abroad, not only in erecting
churches, not only in preaching the
gospel, but in uniting Christian men
to bring the principles they have es-
poused into active and successful play
at the polls on election day as well as
in the home circle, in the shops, the
mills and the counting rooms of the
land.
And that" concluded Mr.. Anthony,
lis why the Methodist church today is
going onward with great strides, that
is the reason it has had such a phe-
nomenal success. 1t is an organized
effort for the broadening out of men
in all directions, spiritual and other
wise, and an organized protest against
wrong wherever it shows its head.
And the protest will be louder and
longer and more forceful in the flu
ture than it has been in the past. And
it does not believe that Sunday is any
too good a day to denounce evils, To-
cal, state or national, that have be-
come mixed up with our politics to
the detriment of the nations physic-
al, moral and spiritual life"

VELVET MAKES
STUNNING WEAR
Only Supple and SOfteSt
Stand Any Chance.

New York, Oct. 13-Only those
fabrics which are of the softest and
most supple description will have any
chance of winning Fashions favor
during the coming season, and the
manufacturers of silks and velvets
seem to have recognized in time this
all-important fact, since they have
produced some remarkably beautiful
materials, one of the chief charms
of which lies in their wonderful soft
ness and pliability.
The new silk velvets may be taken
as typical of the fabrics of the flu
ture, in their beautiful colorings, no
less than in the softness of their
texture, and it is now foregOne con-
clusion that many of the most at
tractive afternoon frocks this au-
tumn, both for home wear and for
visiting, will be made in silk velvet,
and in rich autumn-leaf shades
One afternoon gown is carried out
leaf-green velvet, with a long flowing
train, and a bodice very cleverly drap-
ed to follow the lines of the figure,
and arranged in such a manner that
the soft folds of velvet are drawn
closely round the waist, and do away
with any necessity for the extra
thickness of a velvet or even a satin
waist-belt. The handkerchief drap-
cries of green velvet come from eth
er shoulder, and are caught together
in front bya bow of black ribbon.
A wide strapping of velvet Outlines
the bodice, decorated at intervals by
a number of buttons, composed Of
many lines of narrow silk braid set
very closely together and chosen in
the same shade of Iaurel-leaf green
The sleeves are of velvet to the
elbow, draped to follow the line of
the arm, and trimmed with velvet
strappings and buttons of silk braid,
while the lower sleeves are of fine
cream Mechlin lace The same lace is
used to make the very becoming
chemisette and high cOllarband.

George PeabOdy's Legacy.
Macon News.)

In 1867 George Peabody, a banker
of London and Boston, died, leaving
for educational purposes a fund ex-
ceeding three million dollars. The
board of trustees has annually dis
tributed the income of the fund in the
south, and it also gave eight hundred
thousand dollars of the principle to
the Peabody Normal college at Nash
vile.
1t has on hand two million, five
hundred thousand dollars, and the
trustees propose to distribute this
sum in accordance with the will of
the testator next winter, thus bringing
to an end their long task They pro-
pose to give the Peabody college one
million dollars additional, if Tonnes
see and Nashville and Davidson coun-
ty donate to the college seven humid

add next winter a sum large enough

THE COMMITTEE MA.
(By F. r. Clark

And Pauline looks real shocking,
And yet we're having lots of fun,
A bummin round the city.
Cause ma. she can't look after us,
She's out on a committee.
And pa, he says he's really starved,
As true as he's a sinner
For ma, can't do no marketing,
Nor tend to any dinner
She's other things to do, she says,
And bikes herself out pretty
With badges all acrost her waist,
Cause she's on some committee.
| think it's awful jolly sport,
But pa looks black as thunder,
And he might go a-travelin' off
And stay, / shouldn't wonder,
He's says a woman's place is home,
And thinks it's quite pity
That ma can't find enough to do
'Thout joining committee.
But ma, she just goes right along,
And don't pay much attention,
But says good by she must be off
To tend that there convention
And then she sticks more badges OF
hummin' some new ditty,
And says to pa, it's all the style
To serve on some committee!

tees. The remaining one million, five
hundred thousand will be distributed

Judge Henderson M. Somerville of
Alabama is a member of the board

The fund will doubtless be appro-
