Some Queer Ideas About
Advertising.

A BUSINESS MAN Of this city recently said, and
"A evidently was sincere in saying it, Advcrtls-
ing doesn't do my business any good butt it
don't ADVERTISE | lose business
That statement calls for comment Yet it
shows the attitude of the perfectly. He does
understand advertising. He expects adircct and
immediate return for every dollar spent.
Advertising has stronger and subtle; hold upon
the public than would be manifested in that way.
Often the ad makes merely mprcssion--somc-
times scarcely pcrceptble impression.
To illustrate: An ad in Smiths newspaper says,
"IONES COLLARS NEVER CRACK"
Does Smith Immediately rush JONES and
buy dozen collars OF course Hc merely
smiles in superior way.
But Smith the ad next day, and the
He begins to Think 81 wonder if they DO crack2'
Then, one day. bunch of collars comes from the
pake all cracked the edges. Smith throws them
in the waste basket; Smith says things;
AND SMITH GOES TO JONES AND BUYS
HIS COLLARS.

TRAVELLERS PROTEST
AGAINST ACTION OF PRISON
AUTHORITIES IN THE
SMITH CASE.

The Jackson branch OF the Afissis-
ton, addressed to Governor Noel
protesting against the action OF the
prison authorities III transferring {.
r Smith. the noted Lowndes county
convict. from hard labor on the Ran
kin farm TO the position of store
keeper on the Belmont farm Smith ;
victim was L. A. Laurent, i Nash
vile travelling man. and 4 member
of the several organizations of travel
ing men in this state, which accounts
for the activity being manifested by
the Mississippi Travellers The petit
ton to the Governor states that the
prison authorities have violated a law
in making Smith a trusty by placing
him in charge OF the store at Bel
mont, reciting section 3645 of the
code chapter on penitentiary and
prisons, which provides that IAN in
fluentiaI. conspicuous or notorious
criminal shall in no case be made
or employed as a trusty.
1t was learned today that the order
for Smiths transfer directed to
Sergeant McLondon, of the Rankin
farm was issued by Superintendent
c. H. Neyland In event the prison
authorities on keeping Smith at the
Belmont place III the position OF
storekeeper it IS very probable that
a bitter controversy will develop, as
tie Mississippi Travellers are deter
mined that he shall serve his sem
tence in the manner contemplated by
law Smith had been i'll confinement
less than three months when his
transfer was ordered.
