Life to Prove Her Innocent.
Rome, Ga, July 29-V. T. Sanford
declines to make any further state
ment for the press. He does not un.
dertake to reply to Mrs. Sanfords
recent statements, otherwise than say
ing:
II would go to the gallows with a
light heart and a smile,~ could / only
do so with the knowledge that she is
as pure and innocent as she claims.
For her sake and for my children's
sake, l should be glad that she might
prove her innocence, but this great
satisfaction will never be vouchsafed.
"She is guilty, she knows 1t, and I.
know it, and it will be established by
overwhelming proof"
Mr. Sanford is undoubtedly confident
of acquittal.
Mrs. Sanford has been mingIing with
her friends all day and is as emphat.

LAST STAGE OF THE STRIKE
Teamsters In Chicago Give Up Fight
and Seek Old Jobs.

Chicago, July 29.-Applications for
work by scores of truck drivers mark
what is believed to be one of the last
stages of the teamsters' strikes. While
a few of the men were told to report
for duty next Monday morning there
was no general reinstatement of the
strikers, the employers association
having decided to await the action of
the coal teamsters tomorrow before
removing the ban against their former
employees.
Many of the State street stores tried
making deliveries in the outlying ter
ritory without police proection. The
plan was generally successful. AS an
evidence, however, of the precautions
still being taken against possible VIC
lence to the nonunion teamsters. AS

ANOTHER ANTl-PASS BILL.
Measure Provides for Increase of Per

Measure Provides for Increase of Per
Dlem-Other Bills Introduced.
Atlanta, July 29.-At the short ses-
sion of the house Friday afternoon Mr..
Williams, of Laurens, introduced bill
providing for constitutional amend
ment, which, if passed by the general
assembly, and ratified by the people
will increase the pay OF legislators
from 81 to 81 per day, with the excep.
ton of the speaker Of the howe and
president of the senate, who shall re-
ceive $40 a day
The bill further provides that no
member of the general assembly shall
receive railroad pass or frank OF
any kind from any corporation.
Under Mr.. Williams bill the penal
ty for receiving such a pass of
frank would be impeachment of the
member found guilty.
The difference between the measure
of Mr.. Williams and the anti-pass bill
by Mr. Hall, which was killed by
the house several days ago. is that the
former would affect only members Of
the general assembly, while Mr.. Halls
bill provided that no state official,
from governor down to bailiff, should
be the recipient of favors from rail
road and other corporations.
In the Senate.
The senate was jam up with bust.
ness when that body convened Fri
day morning, so it took but short
time to dispose of several local house
bills which were put upon their pass
age.
An important joint resolution was
introduced by Senator Steed Friday
which provides for visits by legisla.
tive committees to the various CON
vict camps of the state.
Owing to the fact that more than
30 convict camps have been sss.gA.asd to
the list since the new law went into
effect allowing the counties to work
their convicfs, the number of camps
to be visited by the committees has
been tripled.
Senator Steed's resolution provides
that the chairman of the committees
having this matter in cvharge shall
appoint a subcommittee consisting ot
five from the house and three from
the senate to visit these various camps
during vacation and report their con
dition at the next session of the gen.
eral assembly.
Under the rules the resolution will
lay upon the table one day.

FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable
and the diseased blood of parents is
handed down to children in the form OF
Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted
nothing can reach the disease but con-

of the blood is diseased, and until it is
purified and made strong, those who are
born with q scrofulous tendency cannot
have the blessing of robust health.

There has been complaint made by

instances the listing Of dogs occurred
by mistake, as before leaving the Aud

order to remedy the mistake, wrote
the following letter to every register
of deeds in the State:
Il understand that the list-takers H.
some of the counties in North Carolina
are requiring citizens to list their dog
for taxation This is entirely wrong
and no man can be required to list q
dog. If a man requests that his dog
be listed for taxation in order that he
may become a subject of larceny, he
has a perfect right to do so; but ii
any assessment has been placed upoI
the dog as property, of course that
must be taken off. Dogs were placed
upon the list simply because there
were always some people in every
county who desired to list their dogs
for the above purpose, and it was for
this reason that the dogs were PLACED
on the list, and for the purpose of col
lecting a tax on them. Please see tC
il that the matter is corrected, If
