They all say that at first it is openly and out rageously violated, but the public officers soon find out that public sentiment must be respected, blind j tigers are hauled up. juries convict 1 and judges^ put on sentences trat mean something. In thw -tate, Arkansas. 1 see in the newspapers where $1-'ii tine is imiKised, and imprisonment for a long time is common, and the Governor pardons some-, times on condition that they will leave t he State. Jexa.N has local option, ai d i have j talked to several gentlennn ft m 1 that great old State, and they all 1 agree in the good effects of prohibi tion. Mr John W King, who says; that his ancestors came from South ! Carolina, tells me that he twice voted against prohibition, but that ; it has now been in force in his coun ty for four years. That at first it was disregarded and his depot was ! tilled with jugs of whiskey con.ing | in every day, but the citizens got | behind the officers, and they got | after the tigers and now the law C enforced as well as any other, ami the good effects are .-o apparent that he has rej>ented of his folly, and from now on he will do all he can. as well as vote, for prohibition. He says that prohibition has been the very making of his little town. Mr Kirkland, who hails from South Carolina, and is the son of Capt. Geo F Kirkland; yea-s ago a large merchant of Allendale,* S. C. tells of conditions in his adopted State, Mississippi. This State has State-wide prohibition. Mr Kirk land owns a large plantation ftn the great Mississippi River, and em ploys many negroes. He says pro hibition has so improved labor con dition, and the general public has been so benefited, that a return to whiskey, he feels, would be so disastrous, that he would sell out and leave the State. Another gentleman from the same State said he would do the same; that he would not raise hif family where whiskey is sold. Mr Kirkland spoke pleasant ly of some of Colleton’s citizens; among them he mentioned Mr John G Williams, Mr A Wichman and Mr Tudor Farmer, all gone to their re ward. I could add testimony from the above States, and tell you of condi tions as related to me by men I meet every day from other States, as Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Geor gia, North Carolina etc. and all join in the chorus “Prohibition a Bles sing.” Mr Editor, did you ever have a frieni tell you. with that peculiar sad look in his eye, that he would vote for prohibition if he thought it would prohibit? And have you not wanted to say to him, “Friend, may be you are fearful that prohibition might cause you to miss sometimes your accustomed toddy.” Mothers, wives, sisiters, sweet hearts, “sit up and take notice.” S. A. Marvin. Hot Springs, Ark. July 29. t line up on the 17th, of August ami [ place our county in the “dry”’ column, and God grant the entirt? State may be found so when the votes are counted.

"»w:s«ss£r It li the heel ABOVT ADVERTISI.\'G—NO. 4 The Hen and Doorknob By Herbert Kaufman Once upon a time there was a fool hen who sat on a china doorknob for three weeks expecting to get a family. The only thing she did get was ex perience. > v a V, • The advertising field is full of "china doorknob propositions”—ex amples of merchants who expect good newspapers to hatch money out of bad egg business, or who put sound nest eggs under the wrona “advertising hem’ 19 There are three principles to fol low in an advertising campaign: First of all, find a business that will stand advertising; secondly, find the 'newspaper that will make the adver tising pay; thirdly, give the news paper time to pay. * You can’t start in to breed dollars in less time than it takes to batch them any more than you can pull a hen off the nest before she has had a chance to incubate. In both cases you simply waste what has been in vested. If you stop too soon you will get a rotten egg instead of a chicken. Advertise something out of which you may reasonably expect returns, and when you have found what to advertise, take care that you place your copy in a newspaper that can tun the trick. Don’t delude yourself with a china doorknob, and don’t j confuse a “rooster newspaper,” which | spends i£s time cock-a-loruming, for 1 a “hen newspaper” that is too busy *! hatching out dollars to strut about crowing. .1!
