into the silent court. The thoUgu, of
Chilcote. his pitiable condition, his sor-
did environments, were things that re.
quired firm will to drive into the
background Of the Imagination, but
whole inferno of such visions would
not have daunted Loder on that morn
ing as, unobserved by any eyes, he left
the little courtyard with its grass, its
trees, its pavement-all so distastef1llly
familar--and passed down the Strand
toward life and action.
AS he walked his steps increased in
speed and vigor. Now, for the first
time, he fully appreciated the great
mental strain that he had undergone In
the past ten days-the unnatural ten
sion: the suppressed but perpetual
sense Of impending recall; the conse-
quently high pressure at which work

and even existence hal been carried on.
And as he hurried forward the natural
reaction to this state OF things came
upon him in Il food of security and con
fidence--a strong realization Of the tenn
porary respite and freedom for which
no price would have seemed too high.
The moment for which he had uncon-
sciOusly lived ever since Chlcote's first
memorable proposition was within
reach at last, safcguarded by his own
action.
The walk from Clifford's inn to
Grosvenor square was long enough to
dspel any excitement that his inter-
view had aroused. and long before the
well known house came into view he
felt sufficiently braced mentally and
physically to seek Eve in the morning
room, where he instnctively felt she
would still be waiting for him.
Thus he encountered and overpassed
the obstacle that had so nearly threat
encd ruin. and. with the singleness of
purpose that always distinguished him,
he was able, once having passed it. to
dismiss ii altogether from his mind.
From the moment Of his return to Chill.
cotc's house no misgiving as to his own
action. no shadow of doubt, rose to
trouble his mind His feelings on the
matter were quite simple. He had in
ordinateIy desired n certain Opportuni-
ty. One factor had arisen to debar that
opportunity, and he, claiming the right
of strength, had set the barrier aside.
In the simplicity of the reasoning lay
its power to convince, and were tonic
needed to brace him for his task he
was provided with one in the master
full sense Of difficulty set at naught.
For the man who has fought and con-
quered one obstacle feels strong to
vanquish n score.

The Doctor Away from Home
when Most Needed.

People are often very much disappoint-
ed to find that their family physician is
away from home when they most need
his services. Diseases like cramp colo
and cholera morbus require prompt treat
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procuredor aphysician summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand q bottle Of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. No physician can pre-
scribe a better medicine for these dis
eases. By having it in the house you
escape much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save life.

Cotton Will Be Cotton.

"Cotton will be cotton this fall and
also next spring, in my opinion"
was the way Representative Moon, of
Tennessee, expressed it while in
Washington last week, when asked
about the crop situation in his state.
"And I have my judgment on the
unusual condition of the weather of
the border southern states. In fact
the condition of cotton is far below
the normal in most all of the states
of the South. Even with the most
favorable weather from now till the
time of gathering the crop the result
will be fan. below the normal amount.
This of itself would naturally cause
an increase in the price of that COM
modify"
He further said: eve can only
Judge the future by the past cold
spring. For we have, as yet, virtual
~ had no summer weather; so the
prospect is that we have early frosts
ip the fall, and in that case it natural
ly will make cotton take another and
higher jump in price. I do not wish
to appear. as an alarmist in any sense,
but I should advise all cotton growers
to hold their cotton as long Is they
can before disposing of it next fall,
if they wish to get the highest price
for that article"
Judge Moon was n Of the repre-
sentatives, appointed by Speaker
Cannon, to accompany the remains
of Senator Morgan to their last rest

Great Victory fer Prohibition.

Gainesville, Ca, June 21.-Wlth
women praying and singing, children
marching, church bells ringing and
banners flying, the men of Carriers
vile and Barlow county yesterday
gave their unqualified Endorsement to
prohibition that has been in force here
for more than twenty-five years.
Out of /, 721 votes cast in the county
only 81 were for the sale of liquor.
The vote in Gainesville was 620 to Is,
in favor of prohibition, and in several
precincts of the county there was not
a liquor vote polled.
Promptly at the opening of the polls
there appeared a large majority of
the women in the city, who took de-
termined stands upon the court house
grounds, ready to sing and pray and
plead with the men to vote for the
women and little children. A sump-
tuous repast had been prepared for
the voters. At 10 o'clock more than
400 children formed in line and with
banners bearing patriotic Inscriptions,
marched over the city and to the
polls. Every vote that was cast for
prohibition was roundly applauded
and was greeted with the campaign
song, "Bartow's Going Dry"
A touching incident occurred when
the venerable DR.. w. II. FELTON, ap-
peared at the polls in his carriage.
The trembling old statesman was
given three rousing cheers and many
shouts came from the throats of adj
mirers for 1.-The grand old man Of
Barlow" and his famous wife, upon
whose arm he was leaning.
When the result of the election was
announced a large mass meeting was
held on the court house grounds in
the moonlight, at which the victory
was celebrated.

Obituary.

After an illness of a few days Miss
Agnes, the loving daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Vastine Taylor of Bates
burg, died Sunday afternoon, June
16, 1907, making her stay on this sor-
rowing earth % yea J, 2 months and
9 days.
Her body was laid to rest in the
Salem cemetery in the presence of a
large congregation of sorrowing rela-
tives and friends, who came to pay
their last respects to their departed
friend.
This is the third daughter our Heav-
enly Father has seen fit to call from
this household in less than a year.
She leaves to mourn her departure a
kind father and a loving mother; four
brothers and two little sisters, with
hosts of other relatives and friends.
She was q kind and affectionate
girl, loved by all who knew her.
Weep not, fond parents, for we
know Agnes is resting peacefully in
our Saviour's arms. We must be true
and make ready that we may meet
her in Heaven, where no death can
. enter:neither SORROW nor despair.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade;
Loving thoughts will ever linger
Eoand the grave where dear Az
mes is laid.
God has recalled His own,
Whence thy meek smile is gone;
But oh! q brighter home than ours,
In Heaven is now thine own.
The golden gates were opened wide,
A gentle voice said come;
And angels from the other side,
Welcomed dear Agnes home.

Mrs. SaIie Gibson, the woman whom
Williams assaulted and robbed, was
placed in the hospital here and has
been under the constant care Of COM
potent physicians. She is not now
considered in any danger as q result
Of Williams attack and viii probably

clans.
Mrs. Gibson is about 30 years of

She had with her in 9 small grip $751;
900 IN cash. $11, coo of it in gold and
50 $1,000 bills. According to Mrs.
Gibson she sold all of her property in
and near Columbia, s. c. Before
leaving that city Mrs. Gibson got
New York exchange for $61, 600. She
and Williams left Columbus together.
She says that Williams persuaded her
toconvertthe exchange into cash and
it was paid to her IS stated above, in
gold and large bills.
With this fortune inready cash they
came to Texas for the purpose of in
vesting in southwest Texas lands. On
arrival at San Antonio Williams per-
suaded her to take q drive in q buggy
IN order to look at the land around
San Antonio. After getting out ten
miles they got out Of the buggy and
sat down on the side of q stream
While Mrs. Gibscn's back was
turaed Williams struck her over the
head with q heavy stick or . pistol
and then threw her unconscious body
into the river. He then got into the
buggy and drove to the city.
fortunately the water revived her
md she was able to crawl to the bank.
After gaining strength she walked to
Mexican cottage and was brought
to tie city. She fold her story to the
o1acers and gave a description Of
Williams.
Williams was arrested ona Southern
Pacific sleeping car. He had pm-
chased q ticket to New Orleans and

and in Columbia. Mr.. Williams
brother is attending to his livery stable

Williams is about 80 years of age
and has a wife and four children. 1t
is not known whether he is a man of

to him appeared in Texas papers to
