mother to aid in his fight for free

young wife to annul their marriage.
has taken the bit between his teeth and
has forced his lawyers to act. He IN

his WIFE, and wants to be free, that
he may better accomplish his purpose
James s. Graham. OF Newburg. n. y,
has been retainer by Thaw for his fight
for freedom. Mr.. Graham obtained from
Justice Morschauser, Of the supreme
court, an order directing Superintendent

Thaw to sign the application for writ
Of habeas corpus.
This application was signed yesterday
and is ready TO be presented 70 Justice
Norschauser at White Plains today.
When news OF Thaws plans reached the
Office OF the New York district attorney,
immedite steps were taken to fight the
action with al the energy and power
that Jerome and his assistants can com
mand.

The direct. cause OF the fling OF the

Many times the question has been
man musical plays last longer than
Others and why, where other musical
comedies and light operas die after 4

that. The Nixon & Zimmerman pro-

ton of the vehicles counts for some
thing but is it not more than likely
that the management given their at

In this life Of transition where

sadly missed by all associated with
her in the various relations of life,
but the Presbyterian Aid Society
sustains an irreparable loss in the
death of its efficient and beloved

inent degree those elements of char
acter which combine to make the
successful leader. A rare executive

GRAFTON Of the members, both from
confidence in her fine capacity and
because Of a warm personal attach

and wise management were ever an
inspiration to the others. 80 it is
not surprising that a little band Of

things under her superior guidance.
1t was indeed remarkable the
amount Of work she could do, while

Tombigbee Improvement.

The services of Mr.. J. J. McIntire,
a gentleman of fine diplomatic at
attainments, has been secured by the
Aberdeen Business League, to can
vass the population residing along
both sides of the Tombigbee river,
from Aberdeen to Walkers Bri dge,
to secure cooperation in having the
channel of that river made Manageable
to that point. The object of the
league is TO get expression, over the
signatures of the numerous residents
and business men along the stream,
of their approval of the plan, and,
also, to stipulate the vast tonnage OF
various commercial and farm pro-
duets that would be moved from Alb
erdeen to Walkers bridge, in case
the river were opened up and the
boat line put into operation.
The object of the league in prose-
cutting this canvass, is to secure in
disputable evidence of the great ne
cecsity of opening the channel of the
river from this point to that, in order
that an undeveloped section of the
country may be speedily developed.
The people residing along this river
have 10 railroads or other means of
transportation in keeping with the
intensity of the times, and are sig
nally Inconvenience and retarded in
keeping pace with progress. They

ton of the National government, and
to this end the efforts of the Aber-
deem Business League are directed.
The results of the canvass of Mr.. Mac
Intire will be embodied in a bundle
of evidence to be submitted through
Hon. E. S. Gambler, our representa-
tive to the National Congress TO en-
lighted it and to secure liberal APP
preparation for improvement of the
river from Aberdeen to Walker s
Bridge.
Mr.. Gambler. in the past, has been
interchangeable in his efforts to secure
appropriations to make the Tombig
bee navigable, and his efforts have &C
complished much for improvement OF
the channel below Columbus. He
has striven to do something for this
end of the stream but has been handi-
capped because wanting in just such
data as the Business League is now
collecting, and which it is hoped,
will enable him to secure adequate
appropriation.
The efforts of the league, in this
case, are directed along practical
lines; for nothing would bless that
section more, and turn upon it,in full

sources entitle it to than to make the

it is the duty of man and the Nation

the finishing touches.
Let every Aberdeenian and every
person interested put his shout
ders TO the wheel and cooperate for

You can cure dyspepsia, indiges-

any form of stomach trouble if you
will take Kodol occasionally-just at
the times when you need it. Kodol
does not have to be taken all the
time. Ordinarily you only take Kodol
now and then. because it completely
digests all the food you eat, and af-
ter few days or a week or so, the
stomach can digest the food without
the aid of Kodol. Then you don't
need Kodol any longer. Try it today

Make Aberdeen Grow.

Ifeyery man in Aberdeen could he
brought to bend his surplus energy,
gab and capital towards doing some
thing for the town. in a few years,
this city would leap TO that promin-
enee, which in time. it Is destined
to achieve.
But concert Of action for the ac-
complisnment of ends Is difficult
except through organized effort
effort that is persistent, systematic
and undaunted. Such effort IS not
evident IN many Southern towns
many of these places being asleep,
waiting to he worked up by the in
vasion of a more thrifty population
and robbed of the rich returns that
will come from development. Every
town should have an active
business league league that keeps
things moving; is alert to every en-
terprise that might be established,
and keeps the place forever before
the world az the foremost and the
best.
Aberdeen is a good town, but not
half what it could or ought 10 be.
It's population is not what it would
be. even under present apathetic
conditions, if only there were more
cottages for people to rent. We
know of numerous instances where
families attempted to become citi-
zens, but were forced TO 60 elsewhere
because they could find no shelter
here. 1t is time for the people who
own lots and have the money to i'm
prove them-to look at the matter
and see what can be done. We
understand that prospectOrs, con-
templatins the location Of factories
having healthy pay rolls. have look
ed the situation over and have re-
fused to come here because there
were no houses to shelter their
working force. Few manufacturers
invest in other real estate than
their factories, and, if town has
not, or its citizens refuse to provide
cottages to rent to their operators.
the manufacturer goes elsewhere,
The obstacles mentioned are but a
few of the draw backs that stand be
tween Aberdeen and that growth
which ought to be in progress now
We mention these, because they are
50 evident that none of the moss
backs will take rs to task, and all
others can understand But there
are Others ne will not mention
only ask that every citizen put on
his spectaclcs, search them out and
do his patriotic duty to get all to do
all to make Aberdeen grow as fast
as it ought to grow.
