COlFAX MYSTERY
GETS SENSATIONAL

Colfax, July 19.-The Knoxville
bloodhounds were secretly brought
here on Monday by the sheriff OF
Jasper county, taken to the home OF
Mel Slaughter, and after few min.
utes succeeded in getting scent,
striking a trial and went almost di-
rectly to the Blanford home about a
half a mile distant from that of the
Slaughters. 1t seems the Slaughters
suspect Charles Blanford, relative,
of attempting to shoot Mel Slaughter,
but upon the arrival of the sheriff
and the dogs at the Blanford home it
is reported that the Blanfords told
him Charles was not there and on
this no effort was made to search the
house, though it is known that Char
les has been in the community for
several days.
County Attorney Cragan was con-
suited yesterday afternoon and states
that there is something mysterious
about the case, and he is not willing
to admit that he believes Slaughter
is trying to deceive the people by
acts of his own, but that some person
is after him. AS to whether or not
he believes Blanford guilty he would
not commit himself.
Both Slaughter and Blanford fam
lies are we'll to- do, but the Slaugh-
tiers were the favored ones in the
division of the property belonging
to the estate of the grandfather OF
the two young men named, and trou-
BILE seems to have since been brew
ing as result.
Blanford was given a hearing last
February on the charge of attacking
Slaughter with a wagon felloe, but
nothing could be proven against him.
The report that Blanford had been
sent to the county Jail is incorrect.

Strange, Isn't it?

A woman sees a hat or bonnet In a
milliner's window. 1t Is In the latest
style so she determines to have that
hat-or one just like II.
No u to try to dissuade her-she
wants lat kind of a hat! No other
will suit her.
There she displays her will power,
and probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or her
family. She makes as 1t were. fem
inine Declaration Of Independence"
Is it not surprising, therefore, to
find some few women who still allow
their grocers to choose for them in i'm
portant matters like food stuffs?
In spite of the fact that grocers as a
rule have long ago realized the neces-
sity of catering to their customers
ra ther than their own desires, there are
still a few of the other kind left, who
show a marked inclination to persuade
customers to take what they do not
ask for. or desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the
leader Of all package coffee, an estab-
lished favorite for over twenty five
years in millions Of homes. on account
Of it's absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
wouldn't you think 1t impossible that
a single grocer can still exist who
would oppose such an invincible ar
gument of merit, by trying to persuade
a customer to buy loose coffee in pref
erence to Lion Coffee?
Loose coffee has no standard of
quality-nobody can guarantee that 1t
Is even clean.
OF co"rse, really Independent and in
telligen. women know this. and 80 do
up to" date grocers. but II women were
as particular about coffee as about
hats, No kind of grocer could be with

DR.. James H. Carlisle blotted out. in
cluding the influence upon society
there In coming years, as transmitted
through father and. son?
What vas DR.. w. M. Grier worth to
Due West and what would he have been
worth to any other town? When the
proposition to move Erskine college
was agitated and 1t was understood
that where the college went the prest-
dent would go, the lamented Giles j.
Patterson said, I'll give thousand
dollars Just to have DIR. Grier walk
these streets In the presence OF our
young men"
II il was worth $1,000 to one man to
have a single college man walk our
streets as q model to young men what
would 1t have been worth to the thou
sands of people here. II one man was
worth 80 much for the few remaining
years of his life, what would a whole
faculty be worth for generations?
College men do not all exert equally
strong Influence for good, but they are
all picked men, and out of these every
college develops some men or noble
character and strong personality, one
of whom alone is worth a whole battal-
ion of ordinary good men In the strug-
gle Of good against evil.
There are other things to be said'
but think of these.-Chester Lantern.
