Will You Accept a Position on Our Staff?

WATSON'S MAGAZINE has succeeded because it has always had a definite object the uplift of the South and West, and their elevation to dominance in National affairs.

This was the plan that Mr. Watson outlined when he began the publication of his magazine five years ago, without a single subscriber. He followed his plan faithfully, in the face of many discouragements, and today each issue of WATSON'S MAGAZINE is read by half a million people.

Such a magazine, fearless, outspoken, truckling to none, is sure of enemies. The Northern trusts, which have been the target of its scorn and denunciation for their barefaced thefts from the Southern farmer and laborer, have tried, by opposing, to end it.

The Roman Catholic organization, a trust in religious clothing, has declared a boycott against WATSON'S, because its editor is daring to tell the truth about the pagan origin of the Catholic Church, its dark history, its unholy influence upon the family and home, its deadly menace to American liberty. The Catholic Federation has bullied our subscribers, threatened our advertisers, vilified our editor, placed us upon the "Index," and warned the world that for every reader of WATSON'S the gates of hell are yawning wide.

The American News Company, the news-stand trust, a tool of the Catholics, has done its best to kill our circulation.

The daily papers, in mortal fear of the Camorrist political alliance, which exists in every large city of the United States, between the priests, the police, the saloons and the dives, have refused our advertisements.

In spite of all-perhaps because of all this-WATSON's, the dean of Southern magazines, is steadily gaining ground. Its circulation is growing, its advertising patronage is increasing, its influence is being extended among the thinkers and workers of the South.

WATSON's is on a solid foundation. The printing plant of the Jeffersonian Publishing Company, fully paid for, is the largest, busiest, and most up-to-date in the South. In addition to the big presses for magazine and book work, we have just put in a Hoe perfecting press, which cost $20,000 to build. All the machinery is operated by electricity. This magnificent plant, as it stands, is conservatively valued at $50.000. The mailing lists, circulation, advertising contracts, and general publishing business, are easily worth $70,000.

By your help the influence of WATSON's can be extended until it becomes an irresistible power for good, an everlasting check upon evil. You are an intelligent man or woman, or you would not be reading this page. We want your advice and assistance in the business management and editorial control of our magazine. For a small amount$5.00 the value of one share of stock in the Jeffersonian Publishing Company, you can be part owner of this enterprise, and an associate editor of WATSON'S MAGAZINE.

When you become a member of our staff, you do so upon condition that we can depend on you to give us your opinions on all important matters.

We need you. Will you be one of us?

"The Artist

in Our Literature'

WE will wager that you have no complete set of the works

of the man whom Lord Tennyson called "the literary

glory of America"-the man who wrote the most effective example of fugitive poetry ever published in the United States-the man who gave fresh life to the "short story"-the man who invented the detective story and the tale of mystery-America's first real critic:

EDGAR ALLAN POE

Poe was the most cosmopolitan of American writers. His best work belongs to the highest domain of art. His stories have admittedly served as models to such creators as Sir Conan Doyle, and some of his verse is not excelled by any in our languange for music and imagination. His strong originality, his firm, fine touch, and his sombre, yet beautiful, temperament, combine to throw a spell over his readers and, as it were, transport them to another world.

ONLY 60 SETS NOW LEFT!

We have an edition of POE'S works that

we have called the FORDHAM EDITION; for it was in his tiny cottage at Fordham that Poe composed The Raven." This set is in ten volumes, and contains over 3,000 text pages-each one printed in two colors with an ornamental border. The set is illustrated by 36 full-page designs in photogravure on Japan vellum with printed tissues. The majority of these illustrations are by eminent hands and interpret Poe in his various moods with unusual power. The books are bound in threequarters leather, octavo, with silk headbands. An introduction is given by Nathan Haskell
