A GREAT PROMOTER. HOW HERMAN JUSTI ADVERTISED THE NASHVILLE EXPOSITION. With Limited Means at the Disposal of the Bureau, It Was Remarkably Suc cessful In Keeping the Show Constantly Before the Publio—Mr. Justi’s Methods. If you have been on the high seas for the last two years, possibly you have not heard about the Tennessee Centen nial exposition at Nashville. Under other conditions I don’t see how you could have failed to learn all about it. No reader of any sort of current publi cation can have escaped learning much that is interesting concerning the expo sition, all of which redounds to the credit of the bureau of promotion and publicity under the charge of Mr. Her man Justi. Without doubt the World’s fair at Chicago was the most extensively ad vertised enterprise of the kind ever con ducted in this country, but this was mainly because of its magnitude and the great sums of money which were available for the purpose. The Tennessee Centennial exposition, however, was planned on a somewhat more modest scale and the funds available for use by the advertising bureau have been limited. Not more than $30,000 has been spent, but it was used so judicious ly that the results were remarkable. With this comparatively small sum the exposition was kept before the people for months before it opened, and since that time the reading public has been made acquainted with a vast amount of detail concerning its many attractions In thousands of homes and publio places all over the country are to be seen evidences of the bureau’s enter prise. This is because whatever has been sent out has been of such merit that it has been worth keeping. The or dinary pamphlet soon finds its way into the waste basket or the kitchen stove. But the matter sent out by the men who have been advertising the Tennessee ex position has been far from ordinary, yrom the very first it was so attractive that, instead of being circulated with effort, people wrote to ask for it. Even the simplest bit of printing was given an artistic touch. Immense editions of neat and beautiful little folders and booklets were issued, each profusely il lustrated with half tone lithographs. Many of them were triumphs of artis tic printing. Most of them were worthy to adorn a library table. But this is only one branch of the work. Through the medium of the dai- HERMAN JUSTI. ly and weekly newspapers and the mag azines the exposition has been thorough ly exploited. To the daily press news bulletins and news articles were fur nished in abundance. For other publi cations of every sort carefully written and generously illustrated articles were prepared on a variety of subjects con nected with the history of Tennessee and the exposition. These were used in a large number of publications, and be sides this the high class magazines pre pared at their own expense articles which were of more value as advertise ments than all the advertising space which money could buy in their pages All this could not have been accom plished without the generous co-opera tion of of editors, .but it re- - k k PAIN.

Such talent the bu reau of promotion and publicity seems to have had in plenty. Its chief, Her man Justi. is admirably equipped for his position. He is a Kentuckian by birth, but has been a loyal citizen oi Nashville for several years and has been prominent in every enterprise which has been planned for the . benefit of the city or state. ■ Mr. Justi has proved himself to be a most successful literary promoter. He has had a long training as a newspaper writer and has also contributed exten sively to the magazines. He was for a long time foreign correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal and for the Philadelphia Times, having been an ex tensive traveler. He possesses good busi ness ability, being a banker by profes sion, and has conducted the bureau on sound financial principles. Besides be ing a man of high literary taste and ability, he has a keen appreciation of the artistic. He has a good art collection, as well as a good library. He is an en thusiastic advocate of the “scrapbook habit” and owns many volumes of his own compilation, in which is to be found a wealth of valuable information. In Dr. R. A. Halley Mr. Justi has had a most valuable assistant. Dr. Hal ley has been a newspaper man for 20 years and knows from experience just what to write in order to have it print ed. He was for years managing editor of newspapers in Nashville. From the very beginning of the exposition move ment he was one of its most ardent sup porters. During the early days of the discussion he wrote many columns in favor of the idea, and, naturally, gravi tated to the bureau of promotion and publicity when it was formed. C. T. Baxter.

LAFAYETTE ROAD Property Owners Standing In the Way of Its Completion. MOT ENOUGH TO MAKE ROAD UNIFORM The Magnificent Government Pike From Chickamauga to LaFayette Is in Temporary Eclipse. Readers of The Times will be surprised to learn that there are persons living along the proposed government road from Chickamauga park to Lafavette who are hindering the completion of this great thoroughfare, admittedly of so much im portance to the people of Walker county says the Chattanooga Times. The park commissioners were very anxious to get the road completed this season so that by the time congress meets they might se cure another appropriation for the further improvement of the park and its ap proaches. The Times a few days since requested its Washington correspondent to inquire into the atatus of the case, and yesterday the following communication was received, which indicates that unless something is speedily done the work will be delayed and the commission will not be in position to ask the next congress for an additional appropriation. The Times correspondent after interviewing the commissioners and making inquiries at the war department, sends the fellow ing: How It Stands. Washington, Oct. 28.—The Chicka mauga park commission has received a 1 material for its annual report. There is a a great disappointment over the failure to have obtained sufficient rights of way to have made it possible for the commis sion to begin work on the La Fayette road during the present season. As the ceded right of way is only thirty feet wide, an additional strip of ten feet on each side was asked for, m order that the new road might be the same as the La Fayette road from Lee & Gordon’s mill to Rossvi lie. The large majority of owners promptly donated the narrow strip needed for a first-class road. But a few have refused, and so unless these objections can be removed within a very short time, no work can be undertaken on the road during the present year. Uless work is begun before congress meets no additional appropriation can be had during the coming session. Indeed, the park commission could not give any reason for asking it. A number of the citizens who have thus far withheld their donations of the needed strip have repeatedly said that they want the road, and intend to help it on. But the season is now so far ad vanced that their failure to act is having the same effect as an absolute refusal. It is the decision at the war department not to undertake work on the road until the additional rights of way have all been secured. Condensed Testimony Chas, B.

Clarke, 341 Shawmut Ave., Boston, PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT. The Chief Executive of Salvador Has a Narrow Escape From Death. New York, Oct. 29.—A dispatch to The Herald from Panama says: Pri vate advices received here from Gua temala tell of an alleged plot to kill President Rafael A. Guitierrez of Sal vador, which had its inception in La Libertad. As a result of this plot the train bearing President Guitierrez from San Salvador to Acajutla on Monday was wrecked on a sharp curve as it neared Sonsouate. The bolts holding the rails were loosened and the rails were re leased, throwing the train from the track. The president escaped unhurt, but the engineer of the train was killed and the fireman injured so that both legs had to be amputated. The president is now in La Union in specting the new railroad constructed to San Miguel. Reports from San Sal vador deny that the wreck was the re sult of a plot to kill the president. Peace reigns throughout Salvador. You can’t cure consumption but you can avoid it and cure every other form of throat or lung trouble by the use of One Minute Cough Cure.

T., Oct. 28. —At Morenci, a copper camp near Clifton, an inoffen sive Mexican laborer was found near the Detroit smelters with a bullet hole through his neck and his head smashed to a pulp. Juan Madera, supposed to be one of the Chacon gang that tried to capture the town several mouths ago, was arrested for the crime and placed in the camp jail. Shortly after the ar rest, several hundred Mexicans attacked the jail, broke down the door and rid dled Madera with buliets. Shortly after the lynching a second murdered Mexican was found on the trail towards Duncan on the outskirts of Morenci. As the body had been given the same atrocious treatment as the first found, there is no doubt that both murders were the work of the man lynched. ~ ___ BUCKLEN’B ARNICA SALVE The best salve in the world for cuts or bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblain corns and all skin eruptions and post tvely cures piles, or no pay required.
