Leo M. Frank Loses Appeal ': 'y
Before U S." Justice Lamar.;
Washington, Nov., 3.r-Justice
Lamar Monday refused to issue a
writ of error to bring to the - Su
preme court; for revievv, the con
viction of Leo. M:. Frank for the
murder of Mary -Phagan, a fac
tory girl, in Atlanta,' Ga., in 1913.
Attorneys applied to Justice
Lamar -for. the writ on the ground
that a right under the federal con
stitution had been denied Frank
when the jury verdict was return
ed during his absence from the
court room.
Advertising. Schemes
You may " disfigure barns and;
fences and rocks and roads, waste
your money on so-called business
charts, and vainly imagine you
are advertising. But you are not.
The newspaper that every week
visits hundreds, of homes', and is
looked upon by-its readers as a re
liable friend and adviser is the
medium through which the wide-
s
awake business man will speak to!
the people. Quack advertising-
the kind you bite on when a Strang-1
er cones around with a 4 scheme"
is like quack medicine, the less
you take of it the better. The man
who appreciates the value of news
paper advertising, and has busi
ness instinct enough to -know that
Sill other methods are spurious, is
tlie man who meets with success.
Good Breaks Yesterday.
Yesterday the warehouses all
had good breaks and the prices
were very! satisfactory 1 In f act
this beason is a very inferior6ne
and i is unreasonable to expect
such prices as you got last season.
We jieard one farmer say that he
had tried all of the niarkets'and he
had not found any which did bet
ter for him than Roxboro., And
you will- generally find it that way.
Our warehousemen are experienced
meu,.and they are just as anxious
to get big prices for you , as you
are to get them, so bring it along
and give them a show.
