... unea. The
master advertiser* of the country are
the circus people, and they are like
wise among the most successful bus
iness enterprises of the country.
Their undoubted business success la
due almost entirely to their adver
tising. Everyone konws when a cir
cus la coming to town, and almost
everyone goes.
It wonld pay merchants and all
business men to take a leaf from the
hook of the circus people, and learn
a lesson from the way they adver
tise. They spend hundreds
thousands of dollars each year in let
ting the people know that they are
coming. One might think that this
Is a waste, of money that everyone
would know the circus date and
wonli go tnyhow, bnt experience has
nroyed that I lie advertising la a net-
esalty, and that without It a circus
goes to the wall.
The manner In which the adver
tising lg done affords a valuable tip
morchunts There are three
thing* to mark it, fpequent changes,
persistency and system. The big
shows have six can, each with dif
ferent matter. They come at stated
Intervals and replenish the bill
boards, and change the newspaper
matter. The follow up the cam
paign bpgun long before their date,
In a systematic manner until the day
Is reached. Any merchant who will
follow this same system even though
It be on a much smaller scale will
meet with success.
It should be noted that the circus
people In spite of their lavish use
of lithographs and bill boards, do
not neglect the newspapen. A cir
cus man never leaves a town without
putting an advertisement In every
newspaper In that town. He hoe to
pay good high prices, too. He often
kicks at the price, and goes out
swearing that he will never pay It,
but he always comes back. He
knows that newspaper advertising
reaches a class of people to whom
the bill boards do not appeal. That
class Is the class whose trade la
profitable. They are thd onea who
pay admission and sit In the reserved
seats. The profit comes from them.
The people to whom the pictured
glories of the lithograph appeal are
often content to sefi - the painted
wonders on the canvass, go to the
free exhibition, munch peanuts, and
never go Inside the big tent
Advertisers can learn something
from the circue, and that something
la to use the newspaper* with sys
tem, frequency, variety and porsls-
tenee.

There hae been much talk of late
about race reform. There has been
about rate reform. There bs* been
much'complaint about freight rates,
and a state campaign Waged on that
laane. But here is something more
Important than rate reform and that
la wreck reform.
Thomasvlle people have bad this
brought hoipe to -them during the
past week by an accident to one’of
the town's best citizens, who escaped
death only by a miracle. Now- lt Is
nonsense to say that the railroads
canot prevent wreck*. Yet tbe
courts, the law makers, aqd the In
difference of the. people allows them
to make every day a bloody one.-
More people are klled In wrecks than
In wars. The occupation of a rail
road man Is a hazardous one, yet
they are laboring to make-an honest
living and should not be exposed to
these dangers. Tbe passengers, pay
for transportation, and should be
protected. As It Is now every man
who rides on a railroad train liter
ally takes his life Into his own hands.
This state of affairs Is allowed to
continue only because of the Indif
ference ot the people. They could
regulate it If they would. The rail
roads are run as a business propo
sition, and the managers want to
squeeze every dollar of dividend
possible from them. As a result they
have worn out equipment, Incompe
tent labor and overworked men.
These things can all be prevented.
When President Roosevelt passed
through Georgia on the Coast Line a
pilot engine was run ahead of his
special. All operators were, kept on
duty. The track was Inspected with
double care. Extra men were placed
at every section. All possible pre
cautions were taken to prevent acci
dent to the Nation’s head. This was
right and proper and of course there
was no icetdent. Buy why not take
these precautions all the time? The
life of Precious Roosevelt Is not more
precious to his family than your life
Is to yours. -
Legislation on this subject Is bad
ly needed. There .will be no reform
until It ts demanded. When ft Is de
manded with sufficient force .lt wdll
come and not until then.

Abraham would not go and he tried
to force him out. He then got his
pistol and bit Abraham across the
head with Jt two-or threA times. Ab
raham had no weapon. She saw no
more aa she turned her head. On
cross examination she said that Mr.
Mardre did not strike until after he

had ordered Abraham out. That bo

not from his pocket, that he re
turned to the store after the shoot
ing, seemed worried, wanted to send
for' a doctor, and said he hoped he
had not hurt the man, he did not In
tend to shoot the man.
After Miss Carson's testimony tbe
state rested Its case, and tbe defense
announced that It would Introduce
no evidence but that Mr. Mardre
would make his statement.
