PRESS AGENT ACTIVE.

I'm Newspapers.
Frum the Lexington CRy) Herald
The press agent Is receiving some at
tention at the hands OF the newspaper
publishers. The last annual meeting OF
the American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION discussed the subject at some
length.
The action OF the publishers has not
however, decreased the activities OF the
press agent. In fact. this business seems
TO be growing rapidly. The press agent
Is occupying a field that has developed
within the last few years. His activities
cover wide range OF subjects lie is
employed to do press work for every
conceivable sort OF enterprise. from a
charitable Institution to a bunko min
Ing scheme.
The Herald has saved the greater part
Of this class CT matter received at this
office during the past week. II all OF II
were published 1t would more than ill a
single issue Of the paper. No doubt a
considerable quantity OF this matter has
been thrown out with the circular mali
that is received almost daily in the av-
erage newspaper office, and this accu-
mutation does not represent the actual
receipts within one week
The matter which is referred to does
not take any account Of numerous com
munications, sufficient to take I'D some
five or six columns. In regard to the pro
hibition movement. both for and against
Statewide prohibition. including several
articles evidently inspired by the Model
License League, as well as several in
spired by the Ant-Saloon League; nor
does 1t take into consideration commune
cations received during the week. which
would fill fifteen or twenty columns IN
regard TO the tobacco situation. nor in
regard to the water question.
The larger proportion Of II is matter
that ought to be paid for at advertising
rates, since 1t Is designed to advance
somebody's business. II alleged philan-
thropists can pay press agents to pre-
pare their matter they ought 70 be will
ing to pay the newspapers for the pub
hcity secured In many cases the press
agent IS not only paid for the produc-
ton OF the copy. but for securing free
space In the newspapers. He Is com
pensated for the work the newspaper
does for nothing
As long as the newspapers permit
themselves to be imposed upon the press
agent will flourish and grow rich. The
pioneers in this business have already
made fortunes, and the rate at which
they have multiplied within the last few,
years suggests easy money. Every self
respecting newspaper ought 10 throw
every communication from a press agent
into the waste basket without a mo-
ment's consideration.

Judge Mann. I'm his speech at Har-

cratic faith.
MY answer 20 the judges request Is
simple; There never was an application
on hle, and therefore none was ever with
drawn, and the papers on file were in
dorsements OF my fitness by the judges
of the Court OF Appeals OF Louisiana and
Maryland and these constituted the
papers. But my answer is more con-
elusive than even this. My name was
presented TO the President, and vouched
for by that splendid representative or

in Norfolk County is what the State or
ganization" is expecting 70 be handed out
for the Mann column in the coming guber-
material election. according to reliable in
formation obtained last night, following

tician and official.
A conference. not long in duration. but
to the point. was held here, following the
Washington conference, which decided
that the organization would stand by
Mann, despite the publication OF the Ma
hone letters.
Renewed activity throughout the State
on the part Of the Organization" leaders

out. and now the word is being passed

ers that they must get out the vote to
turn the tide In favor OF the Nottoway
