I It's The Hit Dog That Howls 9 While wc had our "suspicions" as soon as the series of display ads now running in the afternoon paper began to appear, we did not KNOW that they were "hitting at" us until their issue of the 23rd., in which they state: ?V "A publisher who gives premiums to boost circulation frankly admit? that HIS PAPER IS NOT WORTH THE SUBSCRIPTION PrJCE." Our worthy contemporary, the "Daily Wail" has taken up twenty odd inches of space daily for the past several days in an effort to tell the good people of Anderson about the demerits of this paper, and the merits of their's; and in rebuttal we will quote again from their ad: "The Evening Paper is the Growing Paper" and state that this remark is in part true, but only in pari. They should have com pleted the sentence, making it read: "The Evening Paper is the Growing Paper-Growing more jealous daily of the success of the Premium campaign of The Intelligencer." ^ "Why?" You ask. Because 'The Daily Intellige ycer Has Added Over Three Hurt" dred New Subscribers -with the Spoon Premium, and when the "Daily Wail" finally tumbled to the fact, they wailed loud and long. Good friends, this is the milk in the cocoanut. There's no need to look further for the reason for this "much ado about nothing." TpHEBell telephone is so simple that a child or servant ? or blind person can operate it as well as you can. Just lift the receiver off the hook and ? tr* ?ned operator re sponds instantly, prepared to render efficient service such as wily human mteiiig^ produce. In the dead of night you can use the Bell t?l?phone, and even if a light is not convenient, you have the assurance that the operator will respond when you lift the receiver from the hook. I M1 Recently burglars who entered a Jacksonville, Fla?, store accidentally knocked the Beli t?l?phone receiver from the hook and the intelligent operator failing to get a response, cev*led the police and notified the owner of the store* Such human service as this makes the Bell telephone an indispensable business asset and an invaluable protection for the home.
