DoBBs. THE WIZARD, COMING
VIII Talk at the Ad Club Banquet
Tuesday Evening, January
Nineteen.

The Omaha Ad club has secured a nots-
hle speaker for the first dinner OF the
year, which will be held at Hanson's cafe
banquet room next Tuesday at $50 p. M. In
the person OF Samuel c. Dobbs. general
sales agent and publicity promoter of the
Coca Cola company, Atlanta. Ga, whose
address is entitled "A Message from the
South"
The history of Mr.. Dobbs' successful
business career reads like a romance. In a
recent issue of Printers Ink, in leading up
to an article on his achievements, II says:
zone night, back in the early sos, a
Georgia farm boy went into the village to
see about storing some cotton, and did an
unaccountable thing for a boy living on a
southern farm. He started home again
without ever going to the postoffice. He
never thought of 1t until half way on his
return journey. Then he remembered and
went back.
1T was late. The postoffice had closed.
But the postmaster was there, and handed
out a letter addressed to the boys father.
The boy gave II to his mother when he
got home. She opened 1t. read 1t. and
cried. The boys father came in, read the
letter, and said. "weii, he'll have to catch
that 4 O'Clock train in the morning; that's
all"
This letter stated that there was a Job
waiting for the boy at Gamblers drub store
in Atlanta, and that 1t would be held until
o'clock Wednesday m~orning-but no
longer. This was Tuesday night. The let
ter had been lying in the postoffice nearly
a week.
Next morning the boy caught the 4
o'clock train into Atlanta, and when Mr..
Gambler came down to open his drug store
naturally thought that Mr.. Gambler would
make a fuss about him. But he didn't
After showing him how to sweep out. and
letting him finish, he gave him a basket
and sent him out into unknown Atlanta de.
Hvering packages.
That boy was Samuel c. Dobbs. todaS
general sales manager of the Coca Coils
company, Atlanta, and his boss was As
G.. Gambler. now Its president and one oil
the leading men in the Georgia metropolis
At that time Mr.. Gambler owned one retail
drug store. and was ambitiousiy trying tC
become a manufacturing pharmacist. Youns
Dobbs went to work for him and soon be.
came Interested in his plans"
These two men are now the manager
and owners OF the Coca Cola company
whose product IL known in every viIlaE,
and hamlet In the United States. Canadl
and Cuba, and whose advertising appre.
priation yearly runs into six figures. Mr.
Gambler, having other extensive interests
the reins OF this company are almost en-
tireiy in the hands of Mr.. Dobbs.

NEBRASKA PRISON ASSOCIATION
Seventh Annual Meeting Held in
Lincoln. u

5--f (From a staff correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 1Z-(Speciai. )-Following
are the proceedings of the seventh annual
meeting of the Nebraska Prison association,
as reported by Secretary A. E. Davisson:
The meeting was opened by an address by
the president. M b. Reese. chief Justice of
the supreme court OF Nebraska. Judge
Reese's address was a careful statement of
the change that has taken place in public
sentiment in regard to those under con-
demnation for transgression of the law. He
called especial attention to the possibility
of redeeming many of those who are now
under sentence, at the Same time pointing out
that mercy and help must not be extended
unless there exists on the part Of those
convicted of crime a disposition to turn
sauarely around, to forsake evil habits, and
by. diligent and faithful work to become
good citizens. An especial feature Of Judge
Reese's address was his calling attention
to the fact that the Nebraska Prison ASSOC
citation never interferes with the administra-
ton of the law.
Following the report and address Of Judge
Reese, there came the report of the COM
mittes OF visitation and discharges by Rev.
M. A. Bullock, ID. D., chairman of the COM
mittee. DR.. Bullock first contrasted the
treatment of prisoners In Nebraska with
those in Virginia. He then called attention
TO TIE work done at M lnsfield, O.. by Super
intendent James A. Leonard. He also made
known the sentiment of the American
Prison congress, which met at Richmond
Va, and to which DIR. Bullock was a dele
gate from the Nebraska Prison association.
This sentiment was as follows:
THE great purpose of all penal ~instltu-
tons Is not punishment of the
criminal class"
DIT. Bullock also stated that since the
organization Of the association, May 2, 1909,
there have been assisted either to employ
meat or TO their homes. TAI discharged
prisoners. Concerning these, he made the
statement that 50 per cent OF them are
now leading upright lives and earning an
honest livelihood.
