would sincerely advise every man OF

POSITIVE PROOF.
Daniel Jope of 1872 winchester

II have had little II any trouble from
backache or kidney trouble since j
used Doan's Kidney Pills several
years ago. l gave statement for
publication at that time telling what
this valuable remedy had done fo1
me. Before using 1t. I was troubled
off and on for long time with severe
dull aching in my back, and at times
sharp twinges Of pain across the loins
The trouble was worsc when I brought
any strain on my back when at work
The use Of D6an's Kidney Pills brought
prompt and sure relief and the trou-
BILE soon disappeared That Is why
am glad to recommend Doan's. Kid
ney Pills as a thoroughly reliable
remedy for kidney trouble and back
ache"

even by the hungry babe at it's moth

less correctly on all possible or I'M
possible occasions by a majority Of
the male population Of ''the land Of
the free and the home Of the brave.'
Said the governor of North Carolina
to the governor of South Carolina:
"It's a id long time between

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead that he has never in all his life
thrilled with sympathy for those two
thirsty executives? IF such one
lives let him pray the prayer Of Kip
ling's British Soldier: .-..
"Ship me somewhere east Of Suez
Where man can raise thirst,
Where there ain It no ten command
ments
And the best is like the worst. ;"
But the same old thirst seems to be
pretty widely acquired, without the
need Of a trip to the Orient. It is
good deal like the poor who are cal
ways with u.s. It is fortunately no
respector of persons 'or classes, and
makes its abiding place with rich and
poor alike. Mount on the golden wings
Of graft to the palaces Of multimil-
lionaires where champagne flows like

This is not the least off the subject
Of the convocation Of the Shriners at
Columbia next week. For at this
meeting will be wrapped in oblivion
forever the portentious remark re-
ferred to above. If the merry tradi-
tions of the Mystic Shriners are
founded on verify, the present gov
ernor Of North Carolina will have to
amend the saying attributed to the
old governor, and if on this occasion
there is any time at all between
drinks it will be a pow'ful small, ,fras-
ton Of an undergrown minute. :

The Telephone Girl.
he Birmingham Age-Herald.

The Birmingham Age-Herald.
"While it is. possible the telephone
girl has her faults, she does not de-
serve all the adverse criticism to-
which she is some times subjected, "
said an old telephone man yesterday.
"It is Of course trying to be inter-
rupted in the midst of conversation
by having the line cut in on, getting
the wrong connection, bad connections
and all those little things that try
ones patience, but we should remem-
Der that the telephone girl, like every
one else, is liable to make mistakes
and that all the troubles are not
chargeable to her.
For instance, it is often charged
that the telephone girl claims that a
certain line you want is busy when it
is not. Now, as matter Of fact, the
telephone girl can more easily give
the desired connection than report it
busy. Making the connection is an
easy matter and if you notice, when
calling for a number you can tell
whether she has made an effort to
give you the number you want. II
the number you call is busy you VIII
hear a distinct rattle as she attempts
to join the lines.
"The telephone operator has many
things to try her nerves and 1t IS a
wonder she is really as good natured
as she is. The position being so try
ing it is absolutely impossible to avoid
all the annoying little things that
bring abuse on the head Of the tele-
phone girl.'

D. N. Smiths testimony developed
nothing new. Saw Coleman pass my

right side was towards Blease while
on ground and head against the brick

Father of Mrs. Blease.
After examining Mr.. Ralph Grant,
the State had Mr.. J. W. Herbert, fa-
ther Of Mrs. Blease, put on the stand.
He is probably IS years of age, and a
man of commanding appearance
though modest and very reticent. The
casual observer could notice that he
labored under deep feeling but held
himself under complete control. -.
Mr.. Herbert, testified that his
daughter, Mrs. Blease, made in his
presence to her husband, full con-
fession of her intimacy with Joe Ben
Coleman. Mr.. Herbert said that this
confession was made at his home and
that it was not extorted by threats or
any other compulsion.
Mr.. Humphreys testified merely to
the fact that he was with the deceas-
ed nearly all of the time after he was
shot until be died. Coleman stated
to him that he didn't think Eugene
would have shot him. Coleman real
lied that he was going to die.
The only witnesses for the defense
were: H. C. White and the defend
ant. E. S. Blease. White testified TO-
wildness of manner and appearance
of Blease at time of the shooting. =
No more dramatic scene has ever
been witnesses in court house than
when Eugene S. Blease told in tears
and sobs of his friendship and love
for Joe Ben Coleman, their associa-
tions for many years, his exeftions t.
secure Coleman a position and then
of the ruin Of his home and the ap~
palling weight Of shame and dishon-
or the information Of his wlfe's IN
fidelity brought him. At the conclu-
sion Of this dramatic scene the s1tua-
tion was rendered even more dra-
matte when the defendant swooned as
he was leaving the stand and became
limp as death. He had to be carried
to the jury room, where he remained
during the entire time Of the argu~
ments, attended by his physician.
The argument was opened by So
licitor Sease for the State. He was
followed for the defense by Messrs.
B. B. Evans, B. W. Crouch, N. 6.
Evans and J. W. Thurmond. Solie-
itor Cooper closed for the State. The
argument consumed five hours at the
conclusion of which Judge Prince de-
livered the charge to the jury. 1t
ag:affter eight o'clock when the jury
retired and after supper was served
I to them, they returned to the court
room at 9 80 O 'clock with verdict OF
not guilty.

On Wednesday next, 18th inst, the
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, Oasis
temple, Charlotte, N. c., will hold a
convocation at Columbia, S. c., which
about fifteen Augusta shriners will
attend. ...-
In more than one respect this con-
vocation gives promise OF beng re-
corded as a red-letter day in the his
tory of the order. Word has gone out
that 125 weary pilgrims will cross the
hot sands of the desert on this mem
orable occasion, and hosts OF mobiles
from all over the two Carolinas, as
we'll as the brother Shriners from
Georgia, will be on hand to see them
safe across the dreary waste.
Governors Glenn and Hayward,
chief executives of the two sister
states respectively, both enthusiastic
candidates, will travel hand-in-hand
with the caravan:
Years ago there occurred a moment

ment station $1,000 for experimental
research. Next year this will be in
creased to $4,000 and each year there
after it will be increased by $4,000
until 1910, when the appropriation
will be $4,000. From that time it
will remain a fixed amount. Clemson
now gets $4,000 from the Hatch
fund for the experiment station and
$4,000 from the Morrill, fund. The
additional $4,000 this year will be ap-
preeiated on account of the improve
ments to be made. The principal
source of revenue for the college is
the privilege tax on fertilizers which
this year will show an increase Of
$4,000 over last year. The figures
for the last few years from this tax
are:

Cambridge, Mass. He went through
the Dallas public schools from the
first grade, graduating as class orator
in 1894 at the Dallas high school.
Entering the University Of the South
at Sewanee, Tenn, he took the degree
Of bachelor of arts in 1898, and was
chosen valedictorian. From Sc
vance he went to Harvard, where he
received the degree of master of arts
in 1899. For two years he was Eng.
lish master in the Sewanee Grammar
school. and since 1901 has been in.
structor in civics in the Dallas high
school, from which position he re-
signed in May of this year. At pres.
ent Mr.. Edwards is editor of The La.
borer the union labor paper of Dallas.
and constant WORKER in the union
cause.
The nomination Of Mr.. Edwards ia
significant from the fact that he ia
both union man and a man of uni
versity training. Thus the fact of his
being chosen answers two arguments
frequently brought against Socialism
that Socialists do not favor labor
unions, and that Socialism is a move
ment of uneducated foreigners only.

QUEER OLD STRUCTURE sru,

ls at Least 140 Years Old-Sjtuated
on Rock In Hudson River Durino
Revolution, Now Two Blocks
From Stream.

New York.-A queer old buildins
stands at Vesey and Greenwich
streets in this city. 1t was STANDING
there 14O years ago and no one knows
how many years earlier it was built.
1t was then and for two generations
afterward lighthouse to guide river
craft at night. 1t then stood alone on
a rock out in the Hudson, separated
from the shore by moat. Now it is
two blocks from the river.
In 1850 this ancient lighthouse was
the scene Of notable murder. A
beautiful young woman was killed by
the lighthouse keeper and her body
secreted in the shallow cellar under
the house, where the skeleton was
found many years later.
Io-day this strange little stone
novel, with it's darkened shops under
the shadows of the elevated railroad,
is in the line of march of the sky
scrapers.
When the revolutionary war broke
out, in 1776, old ST. Paurs church,
now its sole surviving companion of
those days in this part of the city,
was separated from the river light
house by few struggling low-walled
dwellings skirting the shore of the
Hudson.
The old building is of two stories
and a garret under a mansard roof. In
the center of the house above this
roof rose. in former times, the wooden
lantern which held the huge oil lamp
that sent its rays along and across
the river. 1t is built of rough stone,
crudely laid and patched in places
with brick. Large cracks, due to the |
sinking and bulging of the walls, have |
been filled in with mortar, and a coat |
Ing of yellow paint now covers every.
thing.
Under the shabby wooden awning
that covers the sidewalk in front of

1aily and see in this relic of the days

THE STORY.

&OMETHlNG In the voices issuina
~ from the tent caused Caleb to stor
snort and listen. He had been wan.
deiing through the camp, his heart
purdened and troubled by the unhappy
state or the people, for, deaf to the
words OF encouragement and cheer
which he and Joshua and Moses had
spoken, they had refused to believe
aught but evil concerning the prom.
ised land. All night long the sound
OF weeping was heard and in discon.
solate tones the people talked togeth-
er, SO that sleep came to few, save the
children. 1t is not strange that amidst
this distress and commotion Caleb
could not rest and at last he had wan.
dered forth aimlessly, going bitber
and thither through the camp, and
everywhere he had gone the same dis.
tressing scenes and sounds had greet.
ed him.
How can they look upon the dis.
tant light from the Cloudy Pillar and
fail to trust God?" he exclaimed. as
his eyes swept over the great sea Of
tents and at last rested upon the soft.
glowing light which hung like a thing
or life in the heavens He knew II
marked the place of entrance to the
tabernacle court, and that Moses nd
Aaron were there, and ne wonder ID |
II they. too. were spending a night Of
vigil and knew of the mourning in the
camp. AS he thought thus the impulse
seized him to seek them out.
'I will go and tell them what I have
seen and heard" he exclaimed, as he
turned and passed along the outer
edge of the camp. "Perchance there
may be some way by which we can
encourage the people"
AT that moment he was passing one
