Former Sheriff E. L. Higdon yesterday published letter in the Birmingha m News in answer to a speech made by Representative Walker Percy in the house of representatives last Tuesday, and last night Colonel Higdon requested Tho Af.e- Herald to republish the letter. It is as follows:
 To the Editor of The News:
 In view of the unwarranted attack made on me by MT Walker Percy, on February :, in a debate before the lcgis- iature on the fee bill, I feel that should make statement to the public
 In the first place I desire to call the attention of all fair-minded people to the fact that MT. Percy chose a place for his utterances where he knew his state ments were privileged communica .ions, in the eye of the law, for which no one could maintain a suit, on account of the place and the occasion upon which he delivered his diatribe against me- If it were not for this fact I would enter suit against Mir. Percy for islander.
 I will simply say to the public that the statements made by MT. Percy were false from beginning to end, with no sem blance Of truth in same except that I was sheriff of Jefferson county, and that when persons were brought to the county jail on warrants they were confined in jail until bail was given or they were dis charged by law. Ills statement that I loched up fallen women in jail for the purpose of exacting fees is an absolute and unqualified falsehood. The fact is that these women were arrested on wa.- rants sworn out by party in no way connected with the sheriff office. I did not know that the warrants were sworn out unril they were delivered t. the sher!ff's office for execution. When these persons were arrested and brought to the county jail they were promptly re- leased upon. an execution of good and sufficient bonds, and if they presented good and sufficient bonds they wers not locked np.
 The statement made by MT. Percy that I was in cahoot with, the person who swore out these warrants I brand as an unwarranted falsehood. And all of the other charges MT Percy made in his speech were either congregations oc dis tortions of facts. the fallacy and faioe- ness of which cannot be threshed out in public print. I trust that the fair minded public will not view with serious ness charges made against me by a man at place where I could not defend my self, an1 against whose attacl. I have 10 recourse because of his position Of prW- lege under the law. E. l.. HICDON.

Herbert Cook, one of the pioneer

leave tomorrow for Warren where
he has arranged to do extensive work

He is anticipating a hard trip into
the camp. as the snow is from ten
to twelve feet deep on Secesh Sum-
nit, and is near three feet deep at
Warren.
Mr.. Cook and his associates own
one of the largest placer PROPOSE
tions in the state. Their holdings
comprise more than 200 acres and
equipment with one giant for hydr-
aulic. 1t is the intention to equip
the mine with two giants, water to
be supplied through sixteen gauge
ten and twelve inch pipe. At present
the owners are using hose but the
pressure is so great the hose will
not stand It. The water hetad is 1872
feet which makes an enormous pres

equipment has been ordered, but will
not get in in time to be used this
season, but will be used next year
With the present equipment Mr..
Cook can move about so yards Of
gravel per day. With the enlarged
equipment he will move 500 yards
per day with the same number of
men. The gold is very course. and
Mr.. Cook states that 20 cents per
yard is a Conservative estimate of its
value.

ADVERTISING

H. N. Mckinney recently lectured
to the students of Harvard University
on the subject of advertising. In
speaking of advertising as a means
of molding though, Mr.. Mckinney
said:
Advertising is the art of Great
ing a desire. or increasing an early
existing desire, and fixing it upon
some certain article until that article
is purchased. Advertising is the ST.
lent salesman, repeating the selling
argument over and over until it fas-
tens itself upon the mind of the read
err. Advertising is not a get rich quick
scheme. 1t is not an easy road to sue
cess. 1t is a hard, painstaking study
of human nature in all its phases, and
its usccess is an evidence of cor
rect understanding of the human
mind. The underlying principle of all
advertising is always the same-the
application of the principle is rare
ly twice alike. The principle is the
creation of thought, and the molding
of that thought it a given direction.
It matters not whether or not the
article advertised is a railroad bond,
diamond bracelet, or a package of
food; the object of the advertiser is
to create a desire for that particular
thing. so intense that a sale follows.
If instead of wishing to sell an article,
it is desired to change or direct pub
lie opinion in a given direction, the
same underlying principle holds, and
the success of the effort depends pri-
marily. and almost entirely upon
correct knowledge of human nature.
While the principle is unchanging and
interchangeable, the application of it
must be fitted to each individual case
and not a small part of many adver-
Using failures is due to the assump-
ton that a certain line of advertis-
ing has been successful in one case,
it will be in another. The right prin-
cipIe was wrongly applied, with re-
sulting failure.
THE first and most important re-
ouisite Of lal advertising is honesty;
no success can be permenent unless
honesty is the foundation upon which
everything else is built. The article
advertised must be honest in its man
ufacture, in its appearance and in its
price. while the advertising must be
honest and truthful in all statements
and in all impressions and differences.
Many years ago I read in a Hud-
son river ferry boat sign, warning
passengers against giving baggage
to any but uniformed porters. At
first glance I read it 'uninformed.' A
wrong impression gained in quick
glance so fastened itself that forty
years have not dimmed it. Many an
advertisement carelessly, thoughtless-
ly OF ignorantly written, is giving
out an entirely different impression
from that intended. This wrong i'm
preston, like Tennyson's brook,
