 Mr. Bilheimer said before leav- ing the city Wednesday, that he was not in a position to make any statement for publication as his report was to be made to the department only.
 Another person who is probably Tn position to have a line on the intentions of the department predicted that a postal clerk will, be placed on the road to make one round trip from Ashdown to Murfreesboro each day going up on the noon train and back in the afternoon.

LONG TRIP ON THE ROAD.

Bittle Rock, July 17-This af- ternoon's game at 4.15 is the last opportunity that Little Rock fans will have to see the Tray eiers in action for nearly month Tonight they leave for Memphis the first stage of Journey that will take them to every city in the Southern League circuit be- fore they return,
 They will not return until Aug ust 12, when they start the last stand at home with Mobile The complete itinerary of the team on this trip is as follows:
 Memphis, July IS.
 Nashville, Ju.y1 20 21
 Atlanta, July 22, 23 24
 Montgomery, July 26, 27 2S.
 Birmingham, July 20, 80, 31
 New Orleans, August 1, ?, 3 f
 Mobile. August , 6 '
 Memphis, August s 9
 In addition too the regularly sceduled games the team has a postponement to play off in Nash vile and two in Montgomery.
 In view of the great ball that the Travellers have been playing this week. it would seem highly appropriate that Little Rock fans show their appreciation by turning out en masse this af7 ternoon and send the team away with lrousing farewell.
 It is long hard trip and, one which has an important bearing on their pennant chances. Can they but get a little better than an even break they will be right up in the running and will have a splendid chance to get up tothe top during the long series of at home games during August
 It will mean much can they go away tonight with the cheers of a big crowd wringing in their ears.
 Larry Milton will probably pitch for the Travellers. The big fellow Is in splendid form right now and with the team playing behind him as they have been do- ing this week it is better than an even bet that he will make it three straignts from the Fur tlesi

 Both of these gentlemen have been and are being prominently prominently mentioned as candi- dates against Governor Donaghey

 Judge McCaleb has stated that he will not become a candidate for the governors office but no such sta tement has been made by Mr. Hinemon. He admits that he is being urged to make the race and he doesn't say any thing that would indicate he will not. He will neither affirm nor deny

DlSCOURTESY TO THE DEVIL

The devil is not without honor in the northern part of Jeffer- son county, Alabama. Prof. W II Dorchester of the Mount Carmel School has been charged with telling some of his pupils that there is no such person as the Devil. The patrons of the school rose in arms as it were and ral- lied to the support of his Satanic Majesty. Some of them went be- fore the school board and demand ed the discharge of the erring professor and his wife. The Devil has long been a favOrite institu- tion with the patrons of the Mount Carmel school. He has been a part of their Ives and they need h4m n their business They Ice, that y. WOu q not be worth ring witIoIt a devil IFS hoOfs and hOr"s have become as dear to thnr IS household words It is true tit they dap,ore his char acter and would cut him dead on the plank wa if they met him but to deprive tham of thar devil would be to deprive fife of it's spice. w Wthout 3 devil to whom we ask could a Mount Carmelite cOnsign the other fellow? Re,i- zion would be a barren reality to Hezek;ah Boggs of Mount Car mel if he did not feel that his neighbor, Si Turnipseed, would in good time fall ,nto the clutches of the genttetnan with a long, tail blue. Professor D0rches ter, declares that he has been incor- rectly quoted. He states in effect that he has always spoken in the highest terms of the Devil Ger tainly if he never believed in the Devil before he will be compel led to believe in him now. He has had material proof that the Old Boy can lbe raised when occasion requires.q We trust however t hat Prof. Dorchester will be abe to vind.cate himself from the asper- sions cast upon him; for it would never do to allow the tender minds of the children of Mount Carmel school to grow without proper respect for the Great Stoker of the Sheolian Furnace.

the nation watched with equal anx.

affection that was lacking with the
first.

MODERN ADVERTISING.

the people. and who misleads himself
into the belief that IL Is not necessary
for him to advertise in order to Sc
cure the patronage Of those whose
patronage Is essential TO his material
prosperity. says The Albany tGaJ
Herald. ignores a condition which Is
perfectly plain TO the class Of bust
ness men who are most conspicuous
~ successful.
There was a time when TO advertise
vls not essential TO the success Of the
merchant. The buying public had
r,rmed the habit OF finding the things
/. wanted through personal search.
I'D didn't care for advertising as that
y. actical art has now been developed.
lor the very sufficient reason that IL
had never learned what a wonderfully
convenient thing advertising Is.
Now the public knows advertising
thoroughly. and understands II. The
man or the woman who wants to buy
something no longer goes out after IL
with a search warrant. Instead. he
or she goes TO the columns of the
newspaper. finds what is wanted. and
goes. or sends. or phones, or writes,
TO get IL.
The advertisement long ago took the
place Of the haphazard hunt OF the
shopper. Men and women still shop.
but they shop in the places To which
they have been attracted by the mod.
ern advertisement.
The biggest businesses I'm the
world are the biggest advertisers
and IL is because they have been the
biggest advertisers that they are the
biggest businesses.
