PECULIAR BANKRUPTCY
Proceedings in Leesville Suit Against
Concern Sold Three Times,

a Concern Sold Three Times,
There was an interesting hearing
in bankruptcy proceedings yesterda,
before Referee j. j. Earle. The case
involved q mercantile concern at Lees,
vile with claims amounting to abou:
$4,000 against it. Il appears from
the testimony that Messrs. A G
Bouknight aud G P. West sold ou'
their business to Mr.. J P. Able, W o
afterwards disposed of it to Mr. @
D. Barr. Afterwards claims were
filed against Messrs. Bouknight ard
West for debts and it was claimed b,
that firm that these debts were trans.
ferred to Mr. Able. This is denied
by Mr.. Able and proceedings in bsnk-
ruptcy were commenced. On sccount
of the confusion arising from the
various exchanges Of property it waa
decided to refer the matter to the
referee and decision will be given
on March ooh State, March 11,h.

We are glad to note that represe n-
tatiye Lever of this District has
introduced in Congress bill seeking
to encourage and promote the dairy
industry OF this country. 1t is a
move in the right direction, notwith-
standing the fact that little can be
done the first year with the small
appropriation provided. What We
need in the south is diversi6catiop;
and the more we diversity the more
independent We will become. As
long as We have but one crop (cotton)
and we depend entirely upon that,
NE will be like the man with one
pair of trousers, when he rips those
he has to go to bed until they can be
mended; so We with one crop, when
we fail in that We have TO = the bes.
we can until another year rolls around
before We can mend it. The dairy
industry has not been developed in
the south, but there is no reason
why it should not be if some interest
can be encouraged and stimulated
as provided in Mr.. Levers bill. We
trust it will become law and that
South. Carolina will soon experience
some of the good results therefrom.
We hope that all four South Caro-
lima congressman will take up the
work interested by MIR. Lever and
help push it to successful term
nation.

: 'SaIED MY LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy OF
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The &C i O. n OF
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more Of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourlsh-'
nent-the kind Of nourish-
1nent that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

The agitation OF the trolley line
from Brookland to Lexington and
thence to Leesville, Batesburg, Mo-
META and Aiken has been revived,
and We trust that it will this time
prove success. Mr.. Gadsden Shand,
chief engineer, who is actively IN
terested in the movement to build
the trolley line was in town Friday
looking over the field and collecting
such information as be could relative
TO the most feasible route to be taken
and other matters which concerned
the project. It appears to Us that
The most feasible route yet proposed
between here and Brookland is the
one laid out by Messrs. G 4. Grs-
ham, Julian E. Kaufman and 4 }.
r *, q few years sinca. It is not only
direct, but would lass through
country that would literally support
such 8 railway Io passing from
Lexington to Leesville, we woald
suggest that the route proper to be
taken would be one on the upper
side cf the dirt road over next to the
Salnda ridge The local patronage
through this section would be ex.
eellent, and We presume that local
support will count for something.
We would welcome such an enter
prise through our county aud we
hope that our people will lend it sup
port and encouragen ent Give it sll
the right of way it needs and encoar.
age other people to do likewise. In
ths long run it will more than re-
pay you. Lay aside petty chickering's
and selfshness and let every body
pull together for the good of all.
Here's hoping that Lexington will
soon have trolley.
Mr.. A. J. Fox, Of our town, ener-
getic and progtessiye, has been very
active in the trolley line, and has
been with the engineer corps at
BrooklaDd. The engineer force will
be here in q few days, and We want
our people to give them all the aid
and assistance possible as to the best
route, &s.

oLYMPIA's FIGHTING DAYS OVER
Dewey's Flagship to Be Converted

Washington.-The cruiser Olympia.
on which Admiral Dewey sailed into
Manila bay May l, 1898. will fight no
more. The vessel will be turned over
to the naval academy for the annual
cruises of the midshipmen and for
general instruction purposes. It ia
not intended that the cruiser shall
have any further activity in the naval
service.
The Olympia is now at the Norfolk
navy yard. A board of survey has
been ordered to determine the repairs
necessary to place the vessel in first.
class condition. 1t is expected these
repairs can be made within a year.
The ship will then be turned over to
the naval academy.
The authorities of the navy depart.
ment decided that because of the
sentiment attached to Admiral
Dewey's flagship the vessel can here.
after best be utilized In educating fu.

ans. is now in his eighty-nrst year. and
has not felt the touch of n razor for
half century. His first presidential
vote was cast for Gen. Taylor in lSiS.
and since the formation of the Re.
publican party he has been an ardent
Republican. voting for Gen. Fremont.
the first nominee of the party for pres.
idcnt, in 1856.
At that time Mr.. Freeman made a
compact that he would not shave ua.
I'll Fremont was elected. His candi.
date lost and Mr.. Freeman remained
steadfast to his agreement. No razor
has touched his face since 1856, and.
while he never let the beard grow to
an unusual length. still he has never
had 1t trimmed short.
Mr.. Freeman received an invitation.
as one of the original Republicans. to
attend the golden jubilee of the Repub.
lican party, held in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Freeman is still bright and in.
teresting conversationalist. When Is
years old he attended the celebrated
Whig and Democratic mass meeting,
held in Erie on September 10, 1910.
which. undoubtedly. was the largest
mass meeting ever held in this end of

that of the preceding year. which for.
merly held the record. the gems i'm.
ported in 1906 being worth $4,000, 900.
In 1903 the total was $40 ,000. 600. only

1901 the total was only $4,000 600.
The total value OF all precious stones
imported last year was si0.ei7. .OlO.
Diamonds exceeded all other precious
stones In value In the ratio OF almost
seven to one.
About l0.5O0 900 worth OF diamonds
imported In 1906 were uncut to be
prepared for use By the dlamondcut
ting establishments OF the United
States. while over s2i 900. 600 worth
were cut but not set. There has been
u slow but steady growth in the i'm.
portation of uncut diamonds. while
cut diamonds have shown greater
tiuctuation than those not cut Tho
total value OF uncut diamonds import.

were a little less than 5000, 900. were
over si5,OOO.OO0 In 1908. and i.OOO..

This Importation OF diamonds in tho
uncut state is n development OF recent,
years. The census reports gave the
number of wage-earners engaged in
lapidary work In the United States in
1890 at only 80, and in 1900 at 49S.
and the value of the products in 1880
at s3l5,G0i. and in 1900 at s5.7S6.2Sl.
Prior to 1896 the value OF diamonds
imported in the uncut state was less
than si.OO0.0OO annually. In 1897 1t
passed the million.dollar line. and
has gradually Increased until, as indl.

We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him. and In our
despair we went to n third one. Mat.

lar holes In his checks. large enough
to put n finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
4 finger. and whenever he opened the
mouth they began TO bleed and sup.
purate. as did also his eyes. Hands.
arms. chest and back. in short the
whole body was covered over and

Whenever he was laid in his bed. we
had TO pin his hands down: otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. / think his face must
have itched most fcarfully.
we finally thought nothing could
help. and had made up my mind TO

cure him. otherwise he was to be put
