Wounds. Bruises and Barns.

By applying an antisertic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before Inflammation
sets in, they may be healed with
out maturation and in about one
third the time required by the old
treatment. This is the greatest
discovery and triumph of modern
surgery. mberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is
an antiseptic and when applied
to such injuries, csuses them to
heal very quickly. 1t also allays
the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning.
Keep o bottle of Pain Balm in
your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention
the inconvenience aud suffering
such injuries entail. For sale by

cine Dealers.

Dear Sir: But few of the meDs
who sell the hundred different
paints in the market know much
about them. All Devoe agents have
a state chemists c rtifcate telling
Just what it's made of they know
q good deal, not only about Devoe
but the rest; We see that they do.
We buy every paint, that has any
sale, aud analJze it. Our agent
finds out all about it.
When ne know what paint is
made-of, we know how it will act
we know how far it goes, and how
long it wpals.
Dsvoe is the standard; call if
100. The best of the rest is about
rs; the worst about 25; the resi-
are between.
But the men, who sell them.
don't know any better. They know
what the maker tolls them. Tha'
/ is: they know that he tells them
They don't know whether ho tell!
them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted
on knowledgs; the less they know
the more comfortable they are.
Yours truly

To The Public: Whereas,
charges have been made and cir
culated that The Farmers Bank
Of Edgefeld, S. G., was responsl-
bic for the shortage found in tpe
Treasurer's Office in this county,
[ deem ii due to the public a d 20
the bank and to myself, who had
the transactions with the treasur-
er, to say that the charges made
haye~no foundation in fact, justice
and truth. At no time have any
warrants drawn on the treasurer
and paid by said bank been sur,
rendered to the treasurer without
givingshimz a list of the amounts
Of the. warrants, and before ne has
ever given me a check for such
paper be has checked off the war
rants with the list. No error has
ever been detected by the bank OF
by the treasurer in any transact
ion between the two. In fact our
trar sactions with The treasurer
have had such system of check,
ing against them that errors would
show up at the time without any
mistaklng.
In this matter, I desire to say
that The. Farmers Bank courts

ness interests and personal popc.
larity. We recently came in con.
tact With just such man in the
person Of one of Edgefeld's coun-

AS the writer entered q certain
=
Office a few days ago on business,
we heard man, who was in the
-aetsofadrawing a bottle from his
pocket, ask the official for l,ermis-
sion to drink in said Office. The
Official courteously, but in no un-
certain. terms, declined to grant
the request. The man was not
offended, yet he seemed confused
and humiliated as he passed out,
for the denial, though not intended
as such, was received by him as
stingiDg rebuke.
This county official was right.
Speed the day when every county
Office in the state shall be so con-
Quoted that lady can at any hour
enter them to transact business

hearing those things that would
wound her delicate sensibilities.s
Perish The thought that county

shall be rendezvous for those
who drink.and carouse. Let them
besconduc.ed upon the same plane
as are most private Offices.
We;doff our bat to that county
Official, wherever be may te, who
refuses to allow drinking and thu

lBy the Associated Press J

New York Feb. 2.-Arguments
upon the application of b. Lawrence
Duke, son of Brodie L. Duke, of Dur
ham, n. c., for the appointment Of n
commission to inquire into the mental
condition of his father were heard to-
day by Justice Leventritt in the Su
preme Court. In support of the ap
plication Delaney Nicoll presented
affidavits of two physicians who ex-
amined Duke while he was confined in
Bellevue Hospital and at Long Island
sanitarium. Mr.. Nicoll declared that
Duke was insane and that he, was a
habitual drunkard and unable to care
for himself.
The motion was opposed by Lawyer
Louis S. Phillips who represents Mr..
Duke and who maintained that his
client is perfectly sane and that the
allegations in his sons petition are un-
true. Mr.. Phillips further contended
that it was not shown that Mr. Duke
had any property. either real or per-
sonal. situated in this State and that
the court for this reason had no jurIs-
diction TO entertain the motion to ap
point a commission.
Henry w. Hneer, counsel for Mrs.
Alice L. Webb-Duke, whom Duke mar
ried last December also appeared to
oppose the motion. During his argu-
ment in opposition to the appointment
of commission, Lawyer Phillips pre-
sented an affidavit from Duke which
began, Il don't think i am a drinking

Four Months Reprieve for
Mrs. Mary Rogers.
QUIETLY SHE STOOD
With No Evidence of Emotion She
Heard the Words of Life. Then
Turned Away to Resume Her
InterrGpteSLetter 10 Her
Mother.
(By the Assoeiated Press. )

Windsor Feb. "A few hours after
receiving the last rites of the Catholic
church and hearing her father con-
fessor read the prayer for the dying.
Mrs Mary Mabel Rogers. who was
sentenced to die upon the gallows to-
morrow for the murder of her hus-
band, listened with amazement TO the
announcement of high Sheriff Henry
II. Peck that Goernor Charles j. Bell
mad granted her a reprieve of four
months,
Preparations fer the execution had
been perfected. The gallows had been
erected in the west win of the prison,
a heavy black curtain hanging from
the guard room windows shutting the
grueSome machinery of death froi.A
public view. Sheriff Peck carried the
news of the reprieve to the prisonr.
Mrs. Rogers was seated at a table
writing a letter to her mother. Ap-
parently supposing that the sheriff
had come to read the ueath warrant
she arose and moved toward the
door. Sheriff Peck had neer seen Mrs.
Rogers before that moment Watkins
up TO the door he said:
Mrs. Rogers | am the sheriff.
have brought you good news"
II am glad to meet you, Mr.. Sheriff, !"
said Mrs Rogers as she extended her
the good news?"
Governor Bell has today granted
you a reDrieve until June g" replied
the sheriff.
Mrs. Rogers remained like a statue
as though unable to comprehend the
meaning of the words. Without d sign
of emotion, she ~a2ed at the sheriff a
moment and then said:
Il had given uD ali hope, but I am
glad that the governor has granted
me that time.< He is a good man"
Mrs. Rogers then thanked the sheriff
and his companions for the informal
ton they brought her. She seemed
unaffected by the tidings and as the
party moved away from the door OF
the death cell, she returned to the
table and resumed writing.
The governor said he granted the
reprieve in order that opportunity
might be given for a new trial and
only on the ground that Mrs Rogers
claims through her attorney that she
has not had a fair trial and that the
evidence presented against her was
false.
Five hundred dollars was offered to
Harold Harpins a guard in the State
prison, if he would carry a. package
of poison to Mrs. Rogers. The offer
was made in an anonymous letter
from Boston containing $3.50 in bills
which Harpin received recently The
writer offered to send the other $3.50
as soon as the poison was DELIVERED
TO Mrs. Rogers. The guard turned
the letter over to Superintendent
OakeS who showed it to Governor
Bell. Postal authorities have been
asked to investigate the letter.
