ADVERTISING The Value of the Local News paper As An Advertising Medium. (ContirittStf from list week) GETTING THE PUBLIC INTERESTED The object of an advertisement to get the public interested in the article advertised. T© do this the ad-writer mast study the iikes and dislikes of the people whom he desires to get interest- eJ. Tha ad must contain such iiiutter as will appeal to the people. Ad-writing is not liter ary work. It matters but little how an ad-writer spells provided there is a good proof leader tr examine copy. The object of the ad-writer is get the people inter ested. Good ad-copy is simply good silemanship., The ad-com poser should only influence and win the people. It is no part of his work to make a literary dis play. He will fall down if he tries to show off. Results is what is expectei of him. There fore all ad-copy should be such an* will interest the people. And to do this the writer must know human nature. Lord & Thomas of New York who pay ad-wri ers $lOOO per week sometimes keep their most highly paid writers sitting on rail fences for days at a time gleaning ideas from sales men who are selling to farmers. And they say the investment pays. But speaking to the people face to face and speaking to them through an advertise ment are two different proposi tions. The man who talks to the people face to face can ad vance one idea after another un til his audience is interested. But not so with the ad-writer. News paper space costs money. There fore every word must count. Now, let us hear the conclu sion of the whole matter. Ad vertisements shou'd be; Ist. Carefully written. 2nd. Contain no statements that are not ab solutely truthful. 3rd. Should contain only such matter as will interest and win the people. Tnese rule.; carefully followed every advertisement will pay 100 per cent on its cost in increased trade. The Cooper Trial. The Cooper-Sharpe murder trial has at last commenced. Just one month within a day was required to select a jury. The country will watch with great interest the progress of this trial Owing to the prominence of all parties concerned, this is des tined to be of interest to the nation. Not only are the Coop ers and .sharpe on trial, but Tennessee itself. In the night rider trial, Tennessee acquited herself with honor, showing that justice would be meted out to the law breaker without fear or favor. During that trial, death threat ened every person concerned in the prosicution from the Gover nor down to the humblest wit ness. No man whose sympath ies were on the side of justice could feel that his life was safe. Large numbers of the night rider ban l, hea;ily armed stood about the court room appearently de termined .to prevent the punish ment of their frie ids. Bat the court was undaunted and the criminals were convicted. Tenn essee thus won the admiration of the entire nation. It now remains to be Seen if those in high life - in Tennessee will be dealt with as justly as as the lowly fisherman on the banks of Reel-foot lake. The murder of Senator E. W. Carmack was as high-handed and as criminal as the lynching of Capt. Rankin, and the per petrators of the former should receive the same punishment as those of the later. We wat results hoping that in tils case justice will be done unreservedly. MOB CLAMORS KOR REVENCE Long L ; st of Sensational Crimes in lowa—lnvalid Woman Attacked in Bed. Ottumwa, lowa, Feb. 21—Ot tumwa was on the verge of add ing another bloody chapter to the history of lace riots in the United States when a mob of 1000 bloodthirsty men and boys gathered around the city jail to day demanding the life of the netrro who last night committed a fiendish assaute upon Mrs. Johnson, an invalid. . Mrs. John son was in bed with her three year old child when she awoke about three o'clock to find a negro bending over her. Before she could give tlae alarm the negro seized her by the throat and began choking her. Despite •her weakness from a recent oper ation, the woman fought desper ately and succeeded in releasing herself when the fiend seized a curtain pole and" beat her into unconciousness. How long the negro remained in the room is not known. The child's screams alarmed the neighbors who found Mrs Jchn son lying on the floor uncon cious. By her side was the bloody curtain pole. News of the assault spread rapidly and befor# day light, posses of armed men were searching for the negro. The homes of negroes were placed under watch. The city jail be came the center attraction for the excited men who formed the nuclens of the mob. Bloodhounds were at once se cured and followed the trail to a deep ravin about three miles from town where the scent was lost. The crowd around the city jail continued to grow. A number of suspects were arrested and it was nessisary to remove one negro to Chillicothe for safe keeping. Ottumua has been in a throes of crime for the past two years, and onlv two of the crimnals have as yet been punished. Two young ladies have been murdered recently and only today the dead body of Clara Rosen was found in an abondoned house. Feeling is running high but the police c'aim they have the situation well in hand. An Interesting Play. "College Chums," presented at the Henkel opera house last night bv the Blackwelder-Martin Opera Co. v of Hickory, was un questionably one of the most in teresting and entertaining plavs ever presented before a Lenoir audience. Our people showed their appreciation of Hickory's superior talent by attending in large numbers, a special tr? i. was run up from Newton taking on passengers all alone: the line, and the large auditorium was taxed to accommodate the crowd. The Southern Symphony Band, of Hickory, furnished excellent music for the occasion, attrac tive specialties were given be tween acts and there was not a dull moment during the entire play which lasted for two hours Everybody was highly pleased, and should our talented friends from Hickory decide to give us another play at any time, tliey would have absolutely no trouble in getting up a large audience— Lenoir Topic. [lf this comp; ny continues the season they will play at Ashe ville, Charlotte, Raleigh, etc.] SAVE MONEY BY BUYING CHAM BERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

M'g'r. Abernethy Says"Your Money Back If It Is Not O. K." Manager Abernethy is out with a guarantee of "A Trip to India" which appears at the Opera House next Friday night. Of this show the Georgetown, S. C. Daily Item says: ' 'To say that the Herald Square Opera Company made a hit last night is putting it mildly. They carried the house by storm, and it is difficult to find adequate words to express the apprecia tion of the splendid performance they gave. A "Trip to India" is a tale of the Orient, which is full of hu mor and good music, It was well staged and the costumes were rich and elaborate. In such a splendid company, where all are artists. It is not to mention special parts but we cannot refain from saying that some deserve special mention. Miss Juanita Rush, the exceptionally young and fascinating prima dona of the company has an unusually clear and sympathetic voice and in the role of Serena sang and acted her way into the hearts of her audienee. Miss Montague made a charm ing Alti and possesses a beauti ful rich contralto voice. Signer Martine Pache as the Pasha, played with unusual ability and grace and Mr. Charles Picquet as Terrano, the Mexican nobleman sustained his part perfectly. Mr. Ed Gilmore as Hadad and Jack Leslie as Nockey, his com panion, the two comedians of the company were a whole show in themselves. The chorus deserves special mention from the standpoint of beauty and voices. Never before has such a charming chorus been seen in Georgetown." Suicide With Fire. Concord, Feb. 19.—Mrs. Alida Burkhead, a widow, committed suicide today by burning: herself to death. Mrs. Burkhead had been unwell for several years and this morning: she complained of being worried and told her daughter she was going to lie dewn. Going to her room at the head of the stairway, she satur ated her clothing with oil and set fire to herself. Before any one ould reach her, the flames had burned the flesh on her face neck and body to the waist into a crisp. She was carried into a lower room where physicians at tended her until death which oc curred only a short time later. The cause for the rash act is supposed to have been her very poor physical condition which had somewhat impaired her mind. It is thought she had contem plated the deed for several days but the family had kept a close watch on her and prevented any self inflicted injury. But today she aluded their watchful eyes and committed the shocking deed. Mrs, Burkhead was fifty years old and is survived by five chil dren and ore brother. Deliberate Suicide. Hanging at the end of a which had been fastened to the limb of a tree, the dead body of Mr. Will Brown, was found Thursday morning about 9 o'clock near his home in David son township, Iredell county. Mr. Brown left his home about 12 o'cloek the night previous, and when he failed to show up the next morning, a hunt was instituted which resumed in the finding of the body as above stated. Mr. Brown, had had domestic troubles which are supposed to have been the cause of the rash act. Democrat and Press, Consolidated 1905 Black Hand in Goldesboro. A dispatch received here is to the effect that Charles Wilkins a white man was arrested two miles from Goldsboro, for black hand. -It is charged 'that he r hreatened the life of Mr. J. W, Cole, of Goldesboro unless ne paid over to the black hand asso ciation the sum of $lOO.

Little attention was given the >natter at the time but when Mr. Cole received a second letter a few days ago to the same effect, he secured a detective from New York. Upon advise from the detective Mr. Cole decided to comply with the conditions of the letter. The black hand was accordingly notified that the money could be found at the de signated spot, and the detective and other men hid near the scene be.ore hand. In a short time a man approached and unburying the money, started to leave when the posse arrested him. It proved to be Charlie Wilkinson, a notorious fellow who some time ago was arrested on sus picion of having murderd Grfves Lpeight, but the evidence was not sufficient to hold him to court Wilkinson said that a short time ago he went to Cole's home for tne purpose of killing him but Mr. Cole's daughter prevented him from carrying out his pur- Dose.

Slander is a blighting sirocco— the base, foul, cloven footed slander —like the loathsome worm, leaves a path covered with slime. How truthfully it has been said: "Living, he is a traveling pest and worse, dying unrepenitent, his soul too deeply stained for Hell." How often do we hear the slanderer's tongue warbling his song of disgrace on our streets.
