Spiritism Said to Be Demonism. A mo*t interesting little brochure has recently come off the press setting forth with Bible proofs that the communications received by and through Spiritist Mediums is of Demon origin. The writer traces his subject through the Scriptures from the time when certain of the holy angels became disobedient. He proves from the Scriptures that these fallen spirits personate the human dead, with whose past history, spirits, though Invisible, are thoroughly acquainted. He shows that they also frequently personate the Creator and the Redeemer, commanding their deceived ones to pray, do penance, etc. This, however, is merely to lead them on and to bring them more thoroughly under demoniacal control. Sometimes by breaking down the natural barrier, the human will, they possess their victim, and rule him more or less to his ruin—frequently sending such to the mad-house. Numerous illustrations, Scriptural and otherwise, are given. The price of the little book is but ten cents; it should be in the/hands of all interested in Spiritism or jvho have friends interested therein.

[?] OF COPY W[?]

B Ycvr At diercs” One vr.ief F-equicl*.. s i“. B-cces-f ~ •- Adve ticing

Knowing one’s audience and know* Ing what to talk about are the chief necessities of the successful copy writer. declared George H. Perry, a wellknown advertising man. before an ad vertlsing class in New York city the other evening "The first requirement—knowing your audience—ls a Very simple thing, but often forgotten by advertisers. A striking Illustration of this occurs in one of the women’s magazines. It is the advertisement of an electrical dfcwlce, used In homes, to be sure, and u good thing to advertise In a woman’s publication, but the ad Is the same one used In an electrical paper, and addressed to dealers In electrical supplies. The man who wrote that ad used the language of the trade In speaking- to the woman In the home, which of course is all wrong.” In discussing the next question of what to say, the speaker analyzed the talking points of an article —competition, price and quality. < “There must always be a difference between competing articles, or else they would not be on the market at the same time. The question is, What can you talk about that the other fellow hasn’t got? Your article is either newer, simpler, of different design, more beautiful or better for some merchandising reason. “In default of any such difference, price is of the next importance. Can you sell it cheaper? Then comes quality—quality in the sense of character. With some articles the competition—that is, the difference in manufacture or design—may not be a talking point The purchaser of an auto, fdr instance, does not care so much how his machine operates as he does about the quality or the price. You must determine the talking point of your article.

“Now, you know your audience and you have picked out the talking points. The next thing is the writing of your ad—the text, typography and illustration. It is no more necessary to be smart or clever in your text than it is to be handsome in business. What the publß, wants now are the facts. Your teftmust be practical as distinguished from being merely clever. Be sensible in your choice of language; be simple and direct. People are not so particular as to the literary quality of advertisements; they go to the editorial pages for that. Let the goods talk. If you say everything you can say and your ad still seems weak, the fault is not with you but with your goods. You can not do more than let the goods tell their own story. If that story is insufficient it is not your fault. Don’t be afraid of a short ad; the shorter the ad the better.”

Mr Perry just touched on the psychological side of advertising: “There is a governing trait in human nature that makes you instinctively recognize the truth. You can always tell when a man is in earnest —hence the necessity of sincerity in advertising. When you once have sincerity, no matter what you write you will convince. For that reason be receptive to influence; don’t let a man deceive you, but try to catch his enthusiasm in his article.”

In connection with the text Mr. Perry told of the important part played by the headline. “It must catch the casual glance, which is sometimes even antagonistic; in addition it carries a message. Therefore, give the headline much thought. Use simple, short words. Fill your line without crowding. Do not use a ‘blind headline.’ You not only lose a reader —you disappoint him —and he will have no faith thereafter. A headline that merely makes an effect does not accomplish its real purpose. If you have an illustration it must ? be part of the story. Pictures are sometimes too good and, instead of directing to the story, distract. Rather than be a companion to the text the illustration should be an auxiliary. “Then, if you have the right things to say and the right audience; if you believe in the article yourself and will tell what you know and believe in the most simple, direct, quietest, most persuasive language and in the shortest words you know —you have the right ad.”

Advertising hiis passed from the stage of experiment and ( scheming. It has become a thoroughly necessary adjunct to tfce success of any house looking for increased prosperity and wealth.

Goes on Forever.

No one can tell when an advertisement ceases to do its work. Instances are known in which copies of old newspapers have been discovered in outof-the-way places the advertisements in which have sold goods, in Dalton, Ga., recehtly a local newspaper received an answer to an advertisement that appeared a year ago in that publication. A hardware firm in an eastern city one day received an order for an article that it had advertised ten years before, but had not manufactured for nine years. Upon making inquiry it learned that a farm, er In taking up a carpet had found a paper containing an advertisement of the article hidden beneath it and had been so impressed with Its utility that he immediately wrote for it. From which we may conclude that as long as a single copy of the ad exists it may sell goods.

DID SOUND RATHER STRANGE

Listening to Conversation, However, Brown Forgot There Were Various Kinds of Bugs. Brown had shyly, but admiringly watched the two young women as they rustled into the car and took the seat in front of him. They were so sweet, so charmingly sweet and dainty, that he unconsciously sighed and then consciously sighed again, because they had not the pleasure of his acquaintance. But suddenly a shock thrilled through him, a torturing, agonizing shock, as when one’s dentist drills into a nerve. “I haven’t a single bug this year/’ the girl next to the window was saying, proudly. “I’ve looked and looked, and I can’t find a single one.” “Oh, I have millions,” said the other girl, despondently. “I don’t believe J ever had half as many before in all my life.” Brown grew red clear to the tips of his ears. “Haven’t you done« anything for them?” asked the one next to the window. “Yes, I’ve washed and powdered and powdered and washed and done everything, but they just seem to thrive on it,” replied the other, despairingly. “I' don’t believe I’ll ever get rid of the horrid things.” t Brown grew redder and fidgeted frantically as a terrific itch developed suddenly in the sgqiall of his back. “Have you used tobacco?” asked the one next to the window, suggestively. “Pounds and bushels of it," replied the other, hopelessly. “And I thought it was that old reprobate over there who made this car so rank,” murmured Brown, with an apologetic look at the old laborer across the aisle. “Well, you’ll have to do something for them,” declared the one next the window, signaling for the car to stop, “or you’ll, be eaten up alive by them.” “I know it,” replied the Other, as they rose, “and I’ve a notion to burn up every rosebush in the yard and start all over agaip.” “Whew! ” muttered Brown, mopping the sweat from his brow.;. “I seem to be a bigger fool every day.”

WHAT HAVE YOB TO SAY ABPBT THIS?

To the People of Jasper County: “THIS TELEPOST MUST BE CRUSHED OUT, REGARDLESS OF THE COST.” In these words a prominent Wall Street financier announced that the "Interests” had declared war on us and on you. Why he wished to crush it, —the many attempts to ruin * t ’" — why *h c y failed, —the great benefits of the I elepost to you and to the entire country,—and how, with your co-opcration, it can never be crushed, — prompt me to address you. It concerns you. It is your fight as well as ours.

The Teiepost is an independent telegraph company owning a System of automatic machine telegraphy recognized as the highest development to date in its field. It is in active commercial operation between Chicago, St. Louts, Indianapolis, Louisville and other cities of the Middle West, with the lowest rates and best service ever given in the United States. Its purpose is to extend these advantages to all parts of.the country. It gives a fiat rate, regardless of distance, of one-quar-ter cent to one cent a word, according to service furnished. It sends 1,000 words a minute on one wire and illows telephone conversation over it at the same time. By all other methods it requires iron: seventeen to ixty wires to do what the Teiepost does on one. For over thirty-five years there lies been no real competition in telegraphy. The Interests behind this utility control it more completely than the Steel, Beef, Tobacco and Oil Trusts control their respective lines and products. By means of “Gentlemen’s Agreements,” admitted under oath to the New York Legislature, they have stifled competition, extorting, according to former Postmaster-General John Wanamaker, sioo,oco,coo from the people in exorbitant charges for an indifferent service. The purpose of these "Agreements” is to maintain present high charges, and to block the introduction of any better system by others. The methods employed to destroy the Telepost have been notoriously unfair, and un-American:—Spies dogging the footsteps of visitors to our offices; men of prominence, associated with us, threatened; employees bribed to betray us; timid shareholders stampeded into sacrificing their shares; our wires mysteriously cut, and our customers urged to leave us. Periodicals, and other publications, in alliance with the money powers behind the telegraph interests, have maliciously attacked us in order to discourage popular support for our enterprise, in much the same manner as they did Alexander Graham Bell when l.e introduced the telephone. , * With the low rates of the Telepost, the wires will be used almost as freely as the mails. We plan to build a line from our terminal in Chicago to New York, having secured entrances into both cities and practically all of the right-of-way. This line will pass near your town, with which we shall ultimately connect it. The New York-Chicago line will put the Telepost on such a solid and big dividend-paying basis that extensions to all parts of the country will rapidly f0110w... The opposition has declared that it will make it impossible for us to build this extension by PREVENTING OUR GETTING THE MONEY NEEDED. In this they do not reckon on your having anything to say, and seemingly forget that the original telegraph lines were built, —not by Wall Street, —but, with profit to them--•elvCs, by the merchants, farmers and small investors of the country who were independent of capitalistic (P

control or influence. We propose to build the Telepost lines in the same way. However determined the ’‘lnterests” may be to s:op v.s we want you to help us show that in spite of Wall Street opposition there is enough manhood and civic pride in this country to insure the completion of a monumental work of this kind without either the help or sanction of any moneyed combination, however powerful.

There is more .telegraph business between these two cities than between any other two cities in the world. Our lower rates and better service will give us the bulk of this profitable business. The old line companies estimate the average cost to them per message to be auout thirty cents. On the same volume of business the cost to the Telrpost would be only eleven cents over sixty per cent. less. Thus with the people behind us our position in this fight is impregnable.
