CURIOUS LUGGAGE.
Bits of Baggage That Identify Some
Prominent Travellers.


Nearly every one who travels
much has piece of baggage pc
culiar to himself. When one il u I
ordinary citizen this is allowable
and no annoyance follows but il
the case of a prominent maneyery
one is consumed with curiosity tC
know what is in the peculiar
piece Of baggage.
Some time ago, when on duty
at the station, says an exchange
l noticed a plain, square deal box
about Il foot in length and six OF
seven inches in depth, among the
luggage of the prince and princess
of Wales at Paddington.
The box was fastened by 4
black hoop and padlocked, and in
quiries revealed the fact that the
box is nearly always noticed
among the portmanteaus and
other impedimenta of the prince
Of Wales when his royal highness
travels. The box is stamped on
the cover with black royal corO
net, and what it contains has fire.
quently aroused from time to time
Il certain amount OF prying curl
osity among railway officials.
Most railway pOrters are fa
miliar with Il certain very narrow,
yellOwlooking box, about four
feet in length, that generally ac-
companies Mr.. Balfour on his
journey. Various cohjectures
have been made as to what the box
might contain. Some have
hazarded the guess that it covers
the premier's golf sticks, and
others have suggested that the
box is obviously one which con.
tains many a secret in immediate
connection with the welfare of the
great empire. Mr.. BalfOur always
keeps close eye on it.
Mr.. Chambcrlain's luggage has
one distinctive feature. The colo.
nial minister does not appear to
possess Il single large or cumber-
some piece of baggage. The lug.
gage that usually accompanies
him consists of Il few small brown
heather p0rtmanteans and Il single
hatbox, all branded in black let
ters as belonging to Rt. Hon. 10.
seph Chamberlain.
Outside it's characteristically
compact and tidy appearance, Mr..
Chamberlain's luggage never ex,
cites any remark, except the
small handbag which he always
carries.
Some years ago the duke OF
DevOnshire was noticed from
time to time to be frequently ac.
companied on his journeys by 4
round black tin case, about two
feet in length, fastened at one end
by paddock.
The contents of this mysterious
looking case, which for some time
excited great deal of curiosity
among different railway officials,
were one day exposed to view, and
all mystery in connection with the
case ceased. The top by some
means fell off one day whilst the
case was being placed in the train.
and exposed to the gaze number
of ordnance survey maps OF the
dukes.

j. F. Tankersley.

John +. TankersIey died at bis
home, near Palmetto, on Saturday
night, February 4th, 1905, from
la grippe, from which disease he
had suffered for several weeks. In
his last hours he was surrounded
by all the members OF bis family
who ministered to him with the
tenderest and most affectionate re.
gard and attention.
Mr.. Tankersley had lived for
many years at the home where he
died and was widely known
throughout Lee county. lie Was al
unassuming aud uupretentiozs
| man in whose character WAS en-
bodied all those noble qualities
that constitute tho distinguishing
traits Of the olden time Southern
gentleman. He was reared aud ed
ucated under the ante b+ilnm reg
ime when honor and chivalry were
held above the glitter of wealth
and when the standard OF success
in life WAS measured by ones
contribution to society and to the
state. In his life and example he
was the peer OF any man and in
his death he bequeathed to his
poste1ity a spotless record which
commen1s itselfto their observance
and emulation. All who knew him
respected him for his intrinsic
worth and "nOne knew him but
to praise"
Mr.. Tankersley was eighty-one
yeals old aud had been for many
years consistent member OF the
Old School Presbyterian church.
In bis dome site life he was 9 par.
agon of fidelity aud devotion. His
devotion to his wife, who survives
him, and who has been an invalid
for lnany years, was exceedingly
touching and beautiful. No pen

and deep affection that marked
his constant attentions To her du-
ring her illness for nearly al ss
tire life time.
Mr.. Tankersley, for several
terms, was Justice of the Peace
for the Verona district. In the dis:
charge Of his duties as such he was
consplcuously competent aud faith.
iul. He continued in this position
until seven years ago, when he WIS

he endured for the remainder OF
his life. Under this terrible Attic

and accomplishing. lie was never
known to utter word Of discon.
tent over his sad lot but was ever
cheerful and happy. AS neighbor
he was highly esteemed by all who
dwelt near him as friend he was
loyal and true, and as a citizen he
was patriotic and public spirited.
In his death the community in
which he dwelt has lost another OF
it's landmarks which has stood as
a monument to the grandeur OF the
past, pointing the way to the
sp!endors of the future.
Mr.. Tankersley is survived by

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustauchian Tube. When
this tube is inaaned you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the ;nhamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

Pension List Totaled 1,000,l5s in
Apri1.

The United States pension roll
reached the highest point in the his
tory of the country two months ago,
when it contained the names of l.
001, 7S6 pensioners. In the opinion
of Pension Commissioner Warner,
the high-water mark for all time
barring the possibility of another war
has been reached. For he believes
that from now on the tide will stead
lily recede, with only slight likeli-
hood of the total pensioners getting
into the seven-hgure class again.
The list shrunk to 1,000,15s in
April, by reason of great many
deaths, the net loss in April being
1928.
The most significant death losses
concern the invalids of the civil war,
for the rate of disappearance of these
men will determine whether the to-
tai pension list is to grow in size or
fall away Most of the deaths in
April occurred among the pensioned
invalids OF the civil war, their num-
bers now aggregating 6s7,s69. The
balance of $4,000 pensioners is made
up of widows, dependents and nurses
and soldiers of the Mexican, Indian
and Spanish wars.

Roosevelt a World Character.

Representative Charles B. Lands,
who has been in Washington several
days, says the people are unanimous
iy for Theodore Roosevelt. Speak
ing of the West, because / am fam

Lands, sit may be said truthfully
that the President has eliminated alb
solutely all politically lines and is
proudly and enthusiastically claimed
by men of all political parties.
in bringing peace out of war the
President has established himself
firmly as a world character. At what
might be called the Psychological
moment, with rare discretion and tact
he proffered his good Offices and in
sured the cessation of hostilities be-
tween the belligerent. nations, bring
ing to close one Of the most DRAM
attic and bloody wars in the history
of civilization. In view of the COM
Eplications in Europe and Asia by
reasons of interests territorial and
otherwise it would seem that Roose-
Welt was the only man who was in
a position to perform this service
for humanity,
"He measured up to the occasion
grandly, as he has measured up to
all occasions. He has again empha-
sized the truth of the statement SO
often made that if you place an Amer
