BEFORE MAGISTRATE TODAY Means Car, in Which Mrs. King Last Rode, Wrecked by Chauffeur Sunday. Concord, N. C., Sept. 23.-Prepara tions went rapidly forward here to day for the preliminary hearing to morrow of Gaston B. Means, charged with the murder of Mrs. Maude King, near here, August 29, last. Federal and State officials, includ ing Solicitor Hayden Clements, of the Fifteenth judicial district of North Carolina; Assistant District Attorney Dooling, of New York, and C. B. Ambrose, of the federal De partment of Justice, were closeted al most the entire afternoon with a corps of crime experts here from New York andl Chicago, the wealthy widow having resided mn both places. Counsel for the dlefense, including a number of local attornieys and two from Charlotte, held nio formal con ferences as far as could be learned, and Frank I.

He said over the tele phone that he would be here tomor row, but declined to indicate just how deeply the defense would go into its side of the case. "I cannot say publicly what steps we will take until I hear the solicit or's open statement tomorrow," he added. Prosecution Reticent. Solicitor Clement and others repre senting the prosecution were equally reticent. Steps they might take at tomorrow's hearing before Police Magistrate A. B. Palmer were as carefully guarded as was their deci sion suddenly announced Saturday, not to hold a second coroners inquest, but to swear out a warrant charging Means with murder, and thus bring him before a police magistrate. It was said today, however, that this decision came after the State had reason to believe that the de fense would seek to free Means by high proceedings should a secondl in quest connect him with Mrs. King's death. The first inquest verdict was that Mrs. King was accidently shot, and that verdict still remains on recordl. Magistrate Palmer might either free Means of connection with the death of Mrs. King or he might bind him over to the grand jury. The former action, however, wvould not prevent the grandl jury taking indle pendlent action, if it saw fit. Means4 Cheerful.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE But Success Is Impossible Unless There Is a Dollar-For-Dollar Value Behind the Article Adertised. There is an age of advertising, an'l everyone is familiar with the popu lar .saying, "It pays to advertise." Advertising is a business force. So potent is the charm cast by its spell" it has been shown to perform mar velous feats and to accomplish phenominal results. It cannot be truly said, however, that everyone who advertises succeeds, for unless full value underlays the article ad vertised, the advertising would ulti mately fall of its own weight. In this connection we must not forget the words of the immortal Lincoln, who said: "You can fool some of the people all of the time; you. can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the l qple all of the time." So if there is rlot behind every advertisement a dollars and cents value to the article advertised, no amount of advertising will stimulate the sale on such an article beyond a certain point. This applies to every line of business, and the modern business man or firm can only succeed through honest adver tising and fair dealing. Hot air will put up a balloon but it won't keep it there. So, when the manufacturers of Tanlac placed it on the market something over 2 years ago, they did so with the firm con viction that they were offering tq the people the best and purest pro duct of its kind on the American market today. They did not hesitate, therefore, to expend vast sums for advertising, because they knew that the more the people heard about Tan lac the more they would buy it. The success the preparation achieved was immediate, and people everywhere were quick to recognize its genuine merit. Tanlac has never bcen advertised as a "cure-all" or that it would per form unheard-of wonders. The ad vertising has been clean, straight forward and constructive. Actual facts and figures have been stated and stated in a businesslike way in a manner that has commanded confi dence in the conservative claims set forth. Nrderlying these claims there has been real value, not from a dol lars and cents point alone, but from health as well. And that's just where Tanlac has scored. And there's why it is here to stay. Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Man ning; L. W. Nettles, Jordan; Shaw & Plowden, New Zion; Farmers' Sup ply Co., Silver; D. C. Rhame, Sum merton.-Adv. "I never felt better," Means said shortly after lhe r'ose today. Later his wife and baby girl, Julie, visitedi him with several other' members of his family. During the hours when he had no visitors Means spent his time' reading newvspapers and maga WVhile members of Means' family were visiting him, Means' large auto mobile, wvhichi carried Mrs. King, Means, and several others on the trip) that ended in the womano's dleath, was wrecked as it turnedi a diowntowVn corner. Ernest Eury, negro chauffeur, who dIrove the ear that evening, was diriving it again today, wvhen he crashed into the curbing, smashing two wheels. No members of the Means family were in the car at the time. (ourse of the PBullet. William i1. llurmeis~ter, attached to the oflice oif Coroner llffman, at Chiicago, who caused the body of Mrs. Vbo be d isinterred, arrived to S.for the hearing. M'dr. Burmeist er, was said, madle an extended ex anmation of the course the bullet took and was reliedi uponi ,hy the State as one of the witne.ses to prove that the pistol could not have bemn discharged in the hands of the womian. Means testiliedi at the first imlIuest that Mrs. K(ing accidentally shot herself, the ball entering the back of her head.. Medical experts and( pistol experts froum New York also are expected to take part in the testimony. Silence is Golden. (From the Dotrtiit Free Press.)
