DEATH OF j. B. HUMPHREYS

Mr.. j, B. Humphreys died sud
denly at his home in this city
Wednesday morning, Nov. 20
1912, at about 6 o'clock.
Mr., Humphreys had been in
failing health for several months,
but during the past few weeks he
had so much improved his family
and friends were hopeful that he
would soon be entirely restored.
He was attending to the duties of
the office of circuit clerk all day
prior to his death, and was unus-
uaIIy cheerful. But the dread
death summons came early the
next morning, and his generous
spirit passed peacefully away to
the God who gave it.
Barnes Humphreys was decid-
cdly one of the most popular and
useful men who ever lived in l.e-
flore county. He was a devoted
husband, kind and indulgent
father, loyal friend and citizen
OF whom any community would
have been proud. He served
Lef,orc county one term as sher-
if, after which he was elected cir
cult clerk, and at the time of his
death was serving his fourth term
in that capacity-and a more cap
able and accommodating public
servant never held office in Mis-
sissippi.
Mr., Humphreys was 60 years
of age, He was the son Of ex-
Governor and Mrs. B. G. Humph-
reys, brother of the Iamented
DR.. D, S. Humphreys and of Con-
gressman B. e, Humphreys, A
wife, two daughters and three
sons survive him.
Barnes Humphreys death is an
lrreparable loss to his family, to
his friends, to Leflore county and
to the State of Mississippi.
His funeral was conducted from
the family residence Wednesday |
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock--Reys. !

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR WILL ATTEND
SERVICE.

"At a recent conclave of Greenwood
Commandery No. "a, held in its asylum
in Greenwood, Miss, it was the unani-

that community and country adjacent
thereto had been so signally favored by
Providence in many ways, but especial

havoc to so many sections of the South,
that we owed it to ourselves, as well
as the community in which we live to
show our thankfulness and apprecia-

resolved that the Sir Knights Of Green

SENATOR MORGAN'S
GREAT SERVICES

Washington, d. C. May 23.-At a
meeting Of the executive officers of
the Southern Commercial Congress a
few days ago it was decided to have
the 1913 Annual Convention coincide
with the opening of the Panama canal.
The 1913 convention of the Con-
gress will be held in Mobile, Ala. and
the Chamber of Commerce of that city
in outlining plans which 1t would like
to see carried through during the con-
yention, has asked that the life and
services of the late Senator John p
Morgan be particularly recognized.
Senator Morgan for several decades
was the most persistent American
statesman advocating an Isthmian ca
nal He died few years after the
final steps regarding the building of
the Panam canal had been taken by
the United States.
The executive officers also decided
that its great 1913 convention should
use the completion Of the Panama ca
nal as a means Of impressing upon the
nation the Importance of Southern
ports viewed from the standpoint Of
greater commerce yet to be mad,
possible through the canal.
The commercial and historic will b,
blended in the celebration; for Mo
bile has been under five flags, and tn,
vicinity has its place in American his
tory from the year 1910, when De Sot,
fought the battle of Maubila, near tn,
river above Mobile. The city has beei
under French, British. Spanish, Cor
federate and United States flags.

THE SOUL OF
ADVERTISING
Address Of Harrington Emerson Be-
fore the Ad Mems Convention
at Dallas.

Dallas, Texas, May z3.-Harrington
Emerson, of New York, addressed the
Associated Advertising Clubs Of Amer
lea here today. His subject was, "The
Soul of Advertising" and he said in
part:
Consider three of the most attrac-
tive and beautiful things that live
flowers, fruit, women. It is from them
that we shall learn about the soul of
advertising.
1.-THE flower wants the bee and the
butterfly to help 1t. If it is not help
ed it will not ripen into fruit, 1t will
fade, wither and die. It must adver-
tise. So it decks itself out with all
imaginable beauty Of form and color,
it pours out perfume that Is carried
miles afar. Those who scent the per
fume, those whose eyes are charmed
by the color and form, hasten to where
the flower Is.
I'm the flowers and In the fruit:
you can find the soul of advertising
and also concrete, definite examples
of successful advertising practice.
1.-THE soul of advertising, as of 9th
er psychological control Of humanity
consists in first liking the one you arr
claiming you serve SO that he win il
turn like you. There is gulf between
getting up as good a watch as can b.

Washington, May z5.-rn one or the
most remarkable speeches of he pres
ent session of Congress Representa-
tive Dies, Of Texas, Democrat, yester-
day assailed former President Roose-
welt in bitter terms and referred in
almost bitter fashion to the leaders
of his own party, including Speaker
Clark and Governor Wilson, to whom
he alluded as "Parson" Wilson. Mr..
Dies foresaw the crumbling of the re-
public, the eventual rule of the mob
and assigned as the causes the growth
of demagogy and influx of ignorant
immigrants from southern Europe.
Tracing the history of Rome, Greece,
Italy, France, and coming down to the
present day in Mexico, the Texan ex-
pressed his fervent hope that history
would not repeat itself under Teddy"
He prophesied that Colonel Roosevelt
because of his victory in Ohio yester-
day, would sweep the country in the
coming presidential campaign"
"You are a pessimlst," interrupted
voice on the Republican side.

Mr.. Dies. 81 look for the worst. Out
OF the jungle comes the lion tanner, his
hands reeking with the blood of wild
beasts. Up goes the cry, we want

La Toilette. not even Cummins is ad
vanced enough. They don't know the

Berger Biggest In Bunch.
Mr.. Dies attributed to Ignorance

viction that the republic was goint
ahead at the present time more ant
more slowly by reason only Of It's ae
quired momentum" He attacked
Speaker Clark and Majority Leade
Underwood for their alleged failur,
to sustain the old Democratic prin
ciples. In like vein and for the sam,
reason he assailed Minority Leade
Mann and Representative Dalzell, o
Pennsylvania, for what he charge,
was desertion from their politica

Cleveland. O., May 23.-The Nation
al Conference of Charities and Cor

June 18th to 10Th, is fast becoming a
conference of conferences. Already
the program of the meeting to be held
here embraces sub-programs Of the

all of which have to do with the bet

Charities, which holds biennial ses-
sions only, will meet this year just
prior to the general conference.
The National Association of Pub
lie Relief Officials will meet on June

dial Loan Associations will hold i'm
portant meetings on June 18th and
14th.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People will
hold meeting on June 18th.
The National Association Of Socie-
ties for Organizing Charity meets on
June 18th, 18th and 14th.
The Federated Boys Clubs of Amer.

made for the money and asking a dol
lar for 1t. and taking mans dollar
and giving him as little as possible in
return. There is a tremendous differ
ence between running the safest
steamers in the world. incidentally
also the fastest and most luxurious as
are the Cunarders, and charging high
prices for the tickets and giving speed
and luxury and neglecting every I'M
DERIVING moral principle of efficiency.
Therefore, the soul of advertising
further consists in making the client,
the buyer serve commercial ends by
first giving him what he most needs,
in such agreeable form that he is will
ing and eager to purchase. A dinner
prepared by French chef is more
healthy, more digestible than one pre-
pared by the unskilled cook and Incl
dentally it tastes SO good that we are
willing to pay three times as much for
it. The whole aim of the good
cook is to put what is good, not what
is bad, in palatable form. Therefore,
the fact is recognized that the more
solid benefits are etherialized, are
spiritualized, are made romantic not
by direct appeal to the grosser In
stincts of self-preservation, race pres
ervation and parasitism, three major
instincts, but by appeals of color, of
perfume and taste. The flower never
advertised the fact that 1t had pro-
teids and hydrocarbons, very useful to
bees and butterflies as food and build
ing materials. 1t advertised color and
beauty and sweetness and took pains
to put something of transcendent
value back of them. The fruit never
advertised starch and cellulose; 1t ad-
vertised color and beauty. and aroma
and lusciousness and IT gave with
these qualities transcendent food
value. Woman does not advertise her
usefulness, she advertises her attrac-
tiveness, and the woman who makes
good gives also the real essentials, q
whole life Of self-effacing devotion.
ITO what extent have advertisers
grasped the soul of advertising?"
