SEND IN DOLLARS
FOR DEMOCRACY

Responding to the above appeal Of
William J. Bryan, the Express today
announces that is it ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
OF course if any one feels disposed
to give more than dollar, it win be
entirely acceptable. There is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving 500 If he wants to.
Donations will not be limited to the
city Of Chickasha but will be accepted
from all parts of the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall of China
and back again. Every democrat Of
Grady county is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that is
needed to insure democratic victory.
1t is conceded that the republicans
will have almost unlimited funds at
their disposal this year-the trusts
and milionaires will dig it up. Dem
ocracy must rely for it's sinews OF
war upon the free win offerings of the
plain people.
A strict account Of every dollar will
be kept with the names Of the donors,
and all will be forwarded to the prop
er custodians.
Grady county, the stronghold of de
mocracy must do her part. Let every
loyal democrat respond to the call.

toy n district of Forsyth county who
ha Q been or shall be convicted Of
Illicit distilling. Under the law the
land so libelled reverts to the gov

termination of the government to
break up the hotbed of moonshiners
in Forsyth county, the most notori-
GUS In the State. 1t was at Smith
town that officer Hendricks lost his
life two weeks ago while leading a
raid against moonshiners. Two men
are in jail charged with the murder
and officers are hunting Others. The
law Is sweeping and through it5 ope-
ration Attorney Holton, who has be-
gun preparations to enforce It, ex-

WHY SLGANS LININiENT AND
VETERINARY REMEDIES ARE
THE BEST TO USE.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market to-day In the first place,
DR.. Earl S. Sloan is the son OF vete-
rinary surgeon, and from his earliest
infancy he was associated with
horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practiced as a
veterinary for twenty years, and has
battled successfully with every dis.
ease to which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result of
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was practic-
ing his profession.

Court Of Appeals.

- - i ( \ L d. IL $
San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The Dis
trictS Court OF Appeals handed down
a decision to-day setting aside the
Judgment In the cas- OF former Nav
or Eugene o. Schmftz, convicted OF
5extortion in the French restaurant
case, Abe Reuf also benefits by the
ruling OF the upper court, for, ac-
cording to its decision, he pleaded
guilty to an act that was not an
offense against the laws of the State
Taking "Fees" Not a Crime.
According to the Appellate judges,
the compelling OF French ra,taurants
to pay fees" to Abe Reuf was not a
crime, even though Reuf divided the
fees with the mayor
After discussing the point the
Court reversed the Judgment against
Schmitz on the ground that no acts
constituting crime had been proven
against him. Abe Reuf, who pleaded
guilty to extorting money from the
French restaurants, is therefore,
equally guiltless.
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending
charges Of extortion against Schmitz
and Reuf must be dismissed. Both
are now entitled to release on bail.
If they obtain the necessary bonds
men they can remain at liberty until
such time as a jury finds them guilty
on one of the indictments charging
them with receiving bribes from cor
porations, Owing to the number of
cases against them the bail, figured
$4,000 a case, would reach an enor-
nous figure.

Feeding Infants with Liquor.

According to recent French writ
ers, infants in arms are fed with al
coholic liquors In Normandy with the
most disastrous effects. DR.. Brunon
writes: "In Normandy 1t Is not unu-
sual to see women mix coffee and
Cognac in nursing bottles. These
women are employed outside their
homes; therefore some means must
be devised to keep their babies quiet
in the cradles during their absence.
The ingenuity takes this form: A
bottle containing the mixture is
placed under the pillow to keep 1t
warm, and attached thereto is a long
rubber tube, which the child, once
the nipple is placed between its lips,
reluctantly gives up. Automatically
it gets drunk and, thanks to It's
heavy slumbers, the neighbors are
not disturbed"

For Absolute Prohibition.
lGreenyille News.

81 - !.
Senator Tillman has introduced in
the Senate q resolution which consti-
tutes the first move toward absolute
prohibition. This resolution directs
the Committee on Finance to in
quire whether it is practicable for
the National Government to discon-
tinue Issuing permits to retail IL
quor dealers to sell liquor in States,
counties, and municipalities in
which local option prevails.
Kentucky, North Carolina and
other Southern States have found it
difficult to enforce their prohibition
laws because Of the issuance of such
permits. What the experience in
this State has been is too fresh in
the memory to need the calling Of
special attention to it, When Geor-
gia and Alabama go dry they will
have n similar eYnerience
While Senator Tillman's advocacy
of total prohibition in this particular
instance is at variance with his past
record in South Carolina, still at the
same time should he be successful
Ii his his present efforts he viii bring to
bear measure that will come near
er bringing about total prohibition
in "dry" territory than any legisla-
tion that has ever been enacted.

Insurance Policy Holders Get Money
from the Companies.

Pc
New York, Jan. 13.-The extent
to which life insurance policies were
made the basis for loans throughout
the stress of the recent financial fur
ry is measurably revealed in the cur
rent report Of one of the big life
insurance companies, the figures
showing that $4,000 policy holders
borrowed a total of 100000
from the company on their policies
in 1907, large proportion of the
loans being made recently to men of
considerable means who carry poll
cies for sums ranging from $4,000
to s2D0.0O0
The company was compelled by
the terms of its policies to make
the loans, some of which were the re-
suit of the policy holders inability
to pay their, premiums. These bor-
rowed the money from the company
to make the payments and keep in
good standing.
Borrowing for investment, buying
of stocks, was another factor in the
heavy demand for loans when the
money stringency was at its height.
Insurance men say that many of
the borrowers were undoubtedly
tempted by the low price of securi-
ties during the panic and obtained
money in this way for stock market

about $1,100,000. On June 29th,

Florida 6 per cent bonds, sch,
with overdue coupons, announce. to
about $384,000. Mr.. Peabody con-
tempiated the possibility that bJ
1897 his trustees might close the
trust. The trustees. in the exercise
of the broad discretion given them
by Mr.. Peabody, omitted for while
In the eighties Mississippi and Flori-
da from the distribution of the in

hint that such policy would be
maintained until the annual inter-
est on the bonds should be paid or
some provision for the recognition

be made.

h New York, Jan. Harry X.
Thaw is SO convinced of his swift
acquittal at his second trial for the
murder OF Stanford White, that he
has made wager with fellow
prisoner in the Tombs that he would
be free man by Washington's birth
day-February 90.
The young Pittsburger told his fell
low prisoner, Toney Bones, also held
for murder, and of whom he made q
companion, that he had gone over
the plans for the defense with his
lawyers, and that he was certain the
coming trial would not last mo I'd
than seven weeks. k3rN7s
Bones Is an 18-year-old bootbIack
and newsboy, formerly known by
hundreds Of the crowds that daily
pass the entrance OF the Brooklyn
bridge.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has broken
with her old friends, May Mckenzie.
Such was the rumor current to-day
among those who know most about
the condition, of affairs In the Thaw
family. According to the report,
young Mrs. Thaw, after years OF
friendship, has thrown over her old
chorus girl chum at the behest of
the heads of the Thaw family
All during the trial May Mckenzie
sat beside Evelyn Thaw, sharing
with her the hard work OF the fre-
quent visits to the Tombs and some
of the preparation of the case.
They had been chums ever since
they met in Broadway chorus, and
their friendship seemed likely to
continue, for May Mckenzie was the
one who took care of Evelyn Nesbit
and Harry Thaw when they were
turned out of the Cumberland Hotel,
and could not find any other lodging
place. 1t has been known for seve-
raj months, however, that the other
members OF the Thaw family have
been bitterly opposed to the McKen-
zie girl, They have tried often to
induce Evelyn Thaw to give her up.
or late their efforts have proved
successful. Mrs. Thaw has q new
friend, Miss Spencer, with whom
she will probably sit during the com~
ing trial.
