Beneficial ADVERTISING

The Newark News In criticislng the
Stevens bill which authorizes boards of
freeholders to appropriate money for
the purpose of advertising the attrac-
tions of the county, said 1t was wanted
only by certain seashore municipsli-
ties, which were already authorized by
law to include in the local budget an
appropriation for advertising; that it
vas unfair to put this burden upon the
tax payers of the county when it would
benefit certain localities only. That is
the narrow view of the question. A
broader view is taken by the Sussex
Register, published in a county far re-
moved from the seashore, but present
ing it's rocky hills and fertile valleys
as attractions to draw the patronage of
city jewellers who seek health, rest and
pleasure. "Whst Sussex needs is
wider publicity" says the Register,
and it urges the county's representa-.
tiv, S to support the bill.
AT the seashore there is countrywide
benefit from the money spent by visI-
tors. Farmers "off shore" supply vege-
tables to the hotels and boarding
houses, the yachtsmen and fishermen,
the liverymen, 'the butcher, the baker
and the ~candlestick maker" through
out the county all share to some degree
in the general prosperity attending a
"good season."
Observe what advertising has done to
induce inventors to put their money in
farms, as we'll as in seashore lots, in
New Jersey, and it needs little argu-
ment to show that advertising is a good
investment, for the county as we'll as
for a particular resort.-Camden Post

A letter received by the City Editor
of The Daily Commonwealth yester-

tendent of Education, Hon. w. F.
Bond, expressive of his delight at the
manner in which he was received at
the time of his recent visit to Green
wood, when he delivered an address
before the Mississippi Federation of
Women's Clubs.
His letter in part was as follows:
II just want to write you that, in
my opinion, you did the Club Women,
myself, and especially the cause of
illiteracy in u State, a great deal of
good. In other words, l think that
when I come to run for the Presi-

want you to be my press agent. I
noticed a splendid account Of the work
done for the cause of illiterary in all
of the papers.
Before going to Greenwood, l
had heard of the hospitality of the
people, their wealth, their splendid
churches, their sporting blood, their
fondness for drink and their Sunday
fishing trips. On my visit there, I
found they r really and truly a
very, very hospitable people.

Dent Removed the Bars.

| Of seventy feet into the food, tide Of
the river below. Dent occupied that
cell temporarily. It was the quaran-
tine cell, but there was an overflow Of
prisoners in the cells underneath, and
he was tru~sted-trusted not to commit
suicide! He smiled.
The rusty bars were more a pre-
tense than anything else. Dent had
worked them loose from the masonry.
He had resolved that night to make
the leap-not for freedom but for eter-
nal sleep, under the waves.
He looked up and down the river. A
steamer from the coast was putting
into port. Dent could see her in the
distance, her brilliantly lit windows
looking like eyes. He saw, too, that
she was belching smoke from her fun
uels, as If burning soft coal. But he
did not think long about that. The
river below was tempting in its prom

Dent removed the bars one by n
and flung them upon the floor of the
cell. He wanted to finish the. leap

happy thoughts. What sort Of man
had Lucille married? Was he good
to her? Did he care for the child whom
he had never seen? 1t was well that
very soon no thoughts like that would
come to trouble him.
He squeezed his body upon the mar
row ledge and crouched there, measur-
ing the distance. Even now the in
stincts of the old diver came to him.
He knew that, with the proper poise,
he could make the plunge in safety and
swim to freedom, to Turk along the
docks until the sun dried his clothing
plain blue, such as the TRUSTEES wore.
And he did not want his freedom.
He wanted death.
He leaped. He felt himself whirl
through the air. And even then,
against his will, automatically the
habits Of the diver reasserted them
selves. He cleft the cool surface Of
the water easily, held his breath. swan
under the waves, and emerged upon
the surface.
He could not drown! He cursed him.
self bitterly. What should he do now?
The answer came automatically. For,
not a hundred yards from him, the
great steamer lay anchored, apparent
ly-no, drifting on the tide. From her
bridge poured a mass Of sooty flame.
She was on fire, and the wheel could

He heard her sirens hoot fearfully.
Then she seemed to keel over, and on

from end to end.
