ately on hearing the letter read, Mics Marsh Bald: T don't care to press the charge" and it was dropped. as there was no prosecutor and no other evi- dence.
 These are the bare facts, but what inferences must we draw? One that naturally suggests itself Is that Mss Marsh. while willing to prosecute | poor and apparently friendless girl. de- cided that it might be both unpleasant and dangerous to try to sustain a criminal charge against young woman with plenty of money who would there by be able to employ competent coun- sel. and who might make it serious matter for her accuser. Miss Ethridge, with plenty of money- was quite diff
 ferent proposition from the Miss. EtN ridge in poverty. >
 Another reason which suggests itself is even less creditable to the prosecu- trix. She might care nothing for the feelings of poor girl Even If she wronged her dependent it was nothing, for the latter would not be in a position
 to retaliate or make it unpleasant for her accuser, but young \ady with $1e0.00e and a handsome home would be person of importance, and might turn the tables on her persecutor in way that would not be pleasant or profitable. In a word, as Miss Marsh probably looked at it, the poor Miss Ethridge was nobody, but the rich Miss Ethridge was a person of importance who would be an ensrfy to be feared if she should set herself seriously to the task of humbling and discrediting her late employer. From whatever point we view 1t. the conduct of Miss Marsh is not at all to be commended.

Good Luck to the .ColoneIs.

Baltimore Sun.
 Some unimaginative person has in- troduced bill In the Texas Legisla- ture to prevent persons from address ing ordinary gentlemen in that State as colonel or major This is an out rage upon a blessed and beautiful priv ilege. and it would serve the bill right if 1t were ignominiously defeated Even if passed, it would be impossible to en- force it. They are all colonels and maj tors in Texas, unless they happen to be captains or generals. Back of 1t all they are gentlemen, and to the Southern gentleman everywhere the rank is but the guinea's stamp; mans a man for a. that The object of the bill. as set forth by the author, is to protect the real colonels and majors in their titles and prevent the application of these honorable appellations to pri- vate citizens, who have not won them in the regular course of events. He is over solicitous. There Is no danger that the real colonels and majors and captains and generals will suffer. It would be out of nature to address any one in Texas axcept as colonel or ma jor. Time, custom and the force of habit have created colonels of all whom the war oVeriooked-and they bear the title with dignity. grace and court ly chivaIry of the true-born gentleman. Why strip the epaulets from their shoulders and the buttons from their waistcoats? Never! Let Texas valor beat the bill to a standstill and have all the colonels and majors she's a mind to

 The Democrats of Calhoun county are very much exercised over the coun- ty primary. which is to be held on April 16, at which members of the Leg islature and county officers will be elected" said a prominent citizen of Sumter The race for the State Sem ate has been exceedingly jwarm. Fred L. Blackmon and Davis Cooper are the opposing candidates. Watch the prediction, Fred Blackmon will be the winner. Calhoun county Is almost unanimously in favor of railroad rate reform. MT. Cooper is running on the Conner platform. The candidate for the governorship made speeches in Calhoun county which were favorable to Mir. Cooper's candidacy. The people of the county, however, did not alto gether digest outside interference fin local affairs by gubernatorial candi- date, and seem to have determined to elect Blackmon. Recently I made a trip over that county. Everywhere talked to Democrats who were former 1y strong Cooper men. but who de- clared that they intended to vote for Mir Blackmon. Senator Blackmon is in favor of railroad rate reform, but he declined to ally himself on to the Conner kite"

Plain Words
 on CatarrIl Cures

Just at this time of the year the newspapers are filled with adver- tisements of Catarrh cures of one kind or another. In all probabili- ty every one of them can be found on sale in our store. But we can not guarantee these various reme- dies; of course, they may be meri- torious-as to that we cannot say.
 We buy them from the nlanu- lecturers, and certainly would not sell them if we thought they were in any way injurious.
 There IS one Catarrh cure we know all about, and that Catarrh cure we back up with our repu- tation as pharmacists, and with our bona-hde guarantee.
 That remedy is Rexall Mucu- Tone.
 We know how Rexall Mucu- Tone is made, what medicines are used in compromising it, and the scrupulous care with which it is manufactured, and we know that it is an honest, meritorious rem edy, that has cured thousands of chronic sufferers from Catarrh.
 The very first dose of Mucu- Tone will brace you up, will give you new strength and hope, will convince you that at last you have found medicine that goes right to the spot and does the work for which 1t intended; and with each succeeding dose you will feel better and better, stronger and stronger.
 ! You will regain your appetite, will find yourself eating heartily, and will feel that your food is do- ing you good.
 You will note an increase of blood.
 Your hands and feet will be warm, instead of cold and clam my.
 Your nerves will become steady. You will sleep soundly, and you will get up in the morning won- derfully refreshed and desponden- cy will be thing of the past; and besides, Rexall Mucu- Tone will accomplish all this in an astonish- ingly short time. ;
 It makes no difference whether you are just beginning to feel badly or whether you have suf< fered for years-we say Mucu- Tone will cure you-just try us out on this statement. If it does not do all that we have claimed for it, we will immediately refund your money. You can get a large trial bottle for so cents. E.. 6. FOWLER, }

Oftentimes you run across a building con- tractor who has a sepa- rate plumbing depart ment, his own plastering department, and so on, all of which dovetail to- gcther and build the house. This is just what The United Drug Com pany is doing for you in the medicine line. They have cut down profits; they faanufacture Rex all Remedies for over aooo retail druggists. These druggists are the only immediate profit that stand between The United Drug Company and the patient.
 Could The United Drug Company, of which we are . member, afford to make one poor medicine in that linef Does not common sense tell you that one poor medicine would ruin the sale of the other 2oo preparations?

enactment of the law providing for the separation of such and state, appeared in the Observatore Romano to-day. It refers to the previous encyelieal con- demning the general principles Of the law, and says the time has now arrived to indicate what should be done to de- fend and preserve religion in France.
 we deferred" the encyclical contin- ues, "our decision owing to the tmpor- tance of this grave question, and par tioularly through a charitable feeling for the great services your nation has rendered to the church. Having here tofore condemned this iniquitous law, we examined with tn egreatest care its articles to see if they permitted the or- ganization of religious life in France without jeopardizing the sacred prtnct- ples of the church"
 After approving the recommendations of the French hierarchy disappearing of the law, the encyclical says: Therefore, concerning cultural asso- citations such as the law prescribes, we decree absolutely that they cannot be formed without violation of the sa- cred rights which are the life itself of the church. Putting, therefore, aside those associations which our conscience forbids us to approve, 1t is opportune to examine if some other kind of or ganization, both legal and canonical, can avert the threatened dangers to the church"
 The encyelicaI then examines the oth- CT forms of organization.
 The pope says nothing causes him greater agony than the eventualities menaeing the church In France, and, therefore, he hopes to find some other kind of associations not endangering dt- vine rights, adding:
 But as this hope fails us, and the law remains as it is, we declare 1t is not permissible to try this other kind l of associations so long as they do not establish, in the most legal and most 1 positive way, that the divine constitu- tion of the church, the immutable rights of the Roman pontiff and the | bishops, and their authority over the temporal affairs of the church, partic- ularly the sacred edifces. will be ire vocabIy protected by such associations We cannot wish otherwise without be- traying our sacred charge and produc- ing the ruin of the church in France.

THIS JACKIE A GENIUS.

The Navy Department learned Ter gently in the application of a frank young blue-jacket for an extention of his furlough that there is something new under the sun. The knowledge came along such unique lines that the officials have already recovered from the shock It is usual for young officers and enlisted men in the navy to plead some forceful excuse when they wish their furlough extended. Brains are raoked for new and overwhelming rea- sons. All the reserve fruitfulness of the family Is brought into play when the homesick bluejacket sits down to write and ask the Bureau of Navigation for permission to "stay away Just g. few more days with the folks" The sterco- typed and time-honored excuse is that some near and dear relative is sick. That has been handed down to the de- partment for To, these many years, sine time when the memory of man run meth not, Sometimes new official feels the throb of sympathy and extends the leave, but a month at the place and his
 
 milk of human kindness gets pale, and the mothers boy gets it in the neck. Then another common excuse is that the applicant is out, of money and has not the wherewithal for railroad ticket. He would, perforce, beg few days leave in order to labor diligently and earn a few shekels with which to return to the life on the battleship. But that excuse soon faded and withered away as far is it's usefulness as a result-gettep was concerned. Now gen. jus has it's reward. A bluejacket. who is visiting his mother in Indiana, wrote for an extension of bis furlough. He suocinctly and politely informed the department that his relatives were all in the best of health and all enjoying life. He added that he had enough money to get back to his ship. In fact, he said that he had so much money that he could not think of going back | immediately. and, therefore, respect 1 fullv asked to have his furlough ex- tended ten days. The letter was read
 curiously by every one in the offlce, and the novelty of the application so appealed to all that the ingenious and truthful bluejacket had his request
 granted Star.
