Printing Paper Expensive

The Abel News is correct when it
says that the reading public do not
know much about thejrapid advance
in the cost of printing paper but the
newspaper publisher knows all about
it. An advance of one-third in price
in less than six months and further
advances to follow isplacing printing
paper so high that publisers have got
to advance the price of subscription or
some of them will have to go out of
business and the rest see their income
largely reduced The enormous de-
mand for paper has made it scarce
and the rapid exhaustion ofthe supply
of raw material is threatening paper
famine. Some new source of supply
will have to be found or the newspa-
pers of the country will have to be cut
down in size or quit publication.

Canadian Thistles In The County

One don't have to go to Canada to
see Canadian thistles, for they are not
only in the city limits of Audubon but
on some OF the adjoining farms, as
found several patches on farm a few
miles northwest of the city and called
the owners attention to them. If it was
generally known how troublesome and
how they took possession of the land
they surely would make a desperate
effort to eXterminate them before they
spread farther. Flowing only helps to
spread them as the roots will grow if
left on top of the ground; any small
part will take root and soon become
thrifty plant. Different methods have
been suggested to get rid of them; salt
has been freely put upon patches which
will destroy them if sufficient is used.
One of the best methods is to sprinkle
freeley with Sulphate of Iron, Twenty
parts; Water, Eighty parts. A few
applications of the above will destroy
them, but You must repeat the same
dose the next year should any of them
show their head. We think all farm
ers and land owners should post them
selves as 10 what a Canadian thistle
is and then watch their land that none
may get start. Yours for clean land

Wants Four Years More of Teddy.

With oats selling at Al cents and
barley 70 cents the farmers all have a
pleasant smile for you. Hogs are al
so $40 and in fact everything in pro-
portion they have to sell. There new
er has been in our recollection so long
continued wave of prosperity as now
and any man that will even grunt at
the condition of things now is certain
ly fit subject for the asylum for the
insane and to be sure of continuance
of these times we must insist on Teddy
taking it another term; he may not
really want the Office but it just looks
to us that we can't afford to change
men at this time and take any chances
of a break in the financial conditions
of the country. Manning Monitor.

Automobiles increasing.

Automobiles are increasing rapidly
in our state. The state commenced
registration July 4, 1904. One year
later 1881 had registered. At the end
of the second year there were 223l,
July 4 1907, 1878 had registered and
theinumber has now reached more than
1900. The number added since Janu-
airy l, 1907 is over 1900. The average
cost will run not less than $1,000.
Hence about one million dollars
year is paid out in Iowa for automo-
biles. And the expense of running
and repairs will probably equal one
third of that sum.

JUDGE GREEN PRsSIDEs
At The Murder Trial of Editor Sniff
of The Missouri Valley News

Judge Green entered upon his work
this fall over at Logan, last week,
when it became his duty to preside at
the trial of Editor A. Fl. Sniff for
murder in the second degree for shoot
ing a citizen of his town, early in
March. Because the editor reported
dance at which they had Trough
house," one fellow being severely
stabbed, he was followed and threat
ened by another party until he became
so aggravated that he pulled his gun
and gave him fatal wound from
which he died only a few days later.
Mr.. Sniff pleaded self-defense but the
jury brought in verdict for man
slaughthr. An appeal will probably
be taken to the Supreme Court.

The Toe Nails.

Owing to the friction and pressure to
which toe nails are exposed In all per-
sons who wear boots or shoes there Is
a great tendency to thickening on the
underpart of the free growth. the por-
ton Of the nail that extends beyond the
toe point. This thlckened part some
times gets pressed against the flesh,
and then very painful corns result.
The preventive treatment Is to keep
the nails cut short and to remove the
rather soft thickened parts with
blunt pocket knife or scissors blade.

TO MAKE AN APPEAL
IN THE BLAIR CASE.
Solicitor Served Notice of Intention
to Take This and Byars Case
to Higher Court.

The State.
Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman
has served notice upon the attorneys
for Ethel W. Blair Of his intentions
to take an appeal to the supreme
court from the decision of the pre-
siding judge in granting a new trial.
Mrs. Blair was granted new trial
uopn the showing made by her attor-
neys as to alleged after-diScovered
evidence. although there were other
grounds set forth in the motion for
new trial which We're considered by
members of the bar who heard the
pleadlhgS even stronger than that up
on which the dcrision of the court was
based.
If the ease is not given preference
on the docket il may moi be heard in
the supreme conrl in time for tnc
second trial to be taken up in the cir
cnit court at the February term. Soil.
citor Zimmerman will. however, pro-
badly ask that ii be heard among the
flrst cases taken up at the next sit
ting of the supreme court for trial
of causes in thiS circuit.
The solicitor also served notice on
the attorney for S. +. Byars Of mis-
intention TO appeal from the decision
of the circuit judge in granting a
new trial in this ease. The sole grounds
upon which this motion was granted
was that the court erred in not or
derlng the defendant to accompany
the jury wnen it was taken to the
scene of the homicide. This ease will
probably be SET for hearing among
IN" first eases on the calendar for his
circuit.

to place in the hands of Attorny Gen
eral Lyon The facts regarding the re-
fusal or neglect of the Southern rail
way to place heavier rails on its tracks
from Columbia to 'Grenville and from
Columbia TO Spartanburg. Mr.. Earle
said that the order had been issued
about year ago and supplemental
order issued three months ago, the
following letter being sent General
Manager Acket:
Mr.. G. H. Ackert, General Manager
Southern Railway, Washington, D.
G.
Dear Sir: After thorough inspec-
tion and investigation Of your roads
several times in this state, we find
the same as hereinafter enumerated
not in proper condition for the public
travel:
Line from Columbia to Augusta $50
far as it concerns this state).
Line from Alston to Greenville.
Line from Shelton to Spartanburg.
It is hereby ordered that these lines
be repaired and laid with heavier
rails by October, 1907.
BY order of the board,
B. j.. ICaughman,
Chairman,
j. H. Earle,
j. II. Sullivan.
Commissioners.
Mr.. Earle has received from Mr..
Ackert report on the rails laid this
year on the Grcenville and Spartan
burg branches. The Grecnville line
had II miles of new 75-pound rails
and the Spartanburg tracks Is miles.
This includes sidctracks. however, and
the commission holds that the road
has had plenty of time to place these
improvements.
This report is moi in accordance
with a statement made few weeks
ago by Supt r. e. Simpson, who is in
charge Of those divisions.
~ railroad man yesterday, in dis
cuSsin@ the situation. said the inter-
view given ont by President Finley
several weeks ago gave the reason for
II" further improvements. At present
the road is not making the money to
carry out the plans made last year
and it would be some time before
there was another surplus as was the
ease last summer. General Manager
Aekert will probably appear before
the board with a statement should
there be any legal proceedings threat
ened.
