Tho First Society of Authors.


A society for the protection of au-
thors was founded us long ago as 1876.
Authors themselves were not men,
bers Of the society. which was insti-
tuted for their benefit by noblemen
and gentlemen, who subscribed gum
cas- annually in addition to an en-
trance fee of 10 guineas.
Their purpose. as defined by them
selves, was Ito assist authors in the
publication and to secure to them the
entire profits of their own works.
that Is to say. they published books,
but took no fees, for doing 80. They
were amateurs. however, engaged in
trade in competition with profession
ais. and their enterprise was unsuc-
cessful. The society was wound up in
l749, and the balance In hand GEO 1851
was presented to the Founding hospi-
tal.-London Author.

GUARDING A SECRET.

Share 1t With Safety.
In the realm of the multiplication
table. where. for example, two and
two can be relied on to make exactly
four, reckoning is easy, but when you
leave the field of abstract numbers and
deal with persons strange results some
times appear Such case is describ-
ed In Lady Dorothy Nevill's book, "Un-
der Five Reigns."
With regard to the number of per-
sons who may safely be trusted with

Advertising That Counts

Many attempts have been made to
invent methods of advertising that
will be superior to the ordinary me-
diums, like the newspapers, maya
zines, street cars, bill boards. In the
search for novelty hundreds of schc-
mes have been devised, and although
some have been effective to degre e,
a majority have been absolute fail
ures.
A fine building is regarded as
good advertisements a business, Just
as good clothes produce favorable
impression upon those with whom
their wearer comes in contact. The
observer who sees it regards it as an
evidence of prosperity and responsible
lily. The Equitable Assurance assoc
ciation's building, recently destroyed
by fire; the Singer and Metropolitan
towers, the tallest Office structures in
the world, were erected not so much
for the purpose of providing Offices
for these several institutions as to
provide striking and impressive adj
vertisements.
Immense buildings like these rarely
produce a sufficient amount of reve-
nue. to pay even a small interest on
their cost. When there is a deficit it
is charged, as likely as not, to the
advertising account. The question
that is sometimes considered in board
meetings, is els it worth the price 2"
and the usual conclusion is that it is
not. 1t is reported that the Equitable,
which at one time had plans prepared
for skyscraper that should overtop
all Others and which would cost from
$40. 100000 to $4,000, has
abandoned the project.
The success of insurance companies
depends upon the amount of policies
they can write during the year, and
the Singer company relies upon it's
sales of sewing machines to furnish
dividends for its stockholders. Have
the buildings erected by these COM
panies materially increased the bust
ness of either one? We doubt it. In
order to sell anything to the public
you must present to that public, eth
er through your salesman or through
the newspapers or magazines, a des.
cription of what you have to sell.
Palatial and artistically constructed
buildings canno take the place of real
persuasive advertising in popular me-
diums. Therefore, how much better off
all three of the great companies men,
toned above would be today if they
had taken the millions they have
spent In erecting colossal buildings
and spent them in acquainting every
man and woman in the country thro-
ugh popular and effective advertising
mediums with what they have to sell.
Newspapers penetrate every city,
town and hamlet in the United States
They are read because the people
depend upon them for the news of the
nei ghborhood, state or nation. They
are throbbing with life. They bring
messages of cheer to the shut-ins
they broaden the horizon of those whit
live In isolated communities, they
reach the homes of all who have mon
ey to. spend. IF any one has a messag,
: of any kind to deliver She can find n,
better or quicker way of delivering il
to the whole people than through tn,

G. V. News-I left Burke's Garden
on the afternoon of Jan. 81. on my
way to my old home here, some LIS
miles, in my buggy: Spent Wednes-
day night in Bland county, Thursday
night in Wythe, just across New Ri
yer, Friday night in Carroll, east of
the Blue Ridge, and Saturday night
in Rural Hall, N. C. These three and
quarter days l covered about 115
miles of roads which did full justice
to the country and season. The snow
drifts, some weeks old, on Garden
Mountain, the CLASSY ice on Walker
Mountain, the rock hard frozen mud
most of the distance, with floating
slush ice at Jackson's Ferry, and such
like incidentals all made.the lonely
way interesting. Had more or less
snowfall on me each of the four days
and the temperature made two over
