Abdur Kad'r, little dreaming of the train of
thought he had aroused moved on again. Dick had
drawn taut the head rope of his unwilling camel;
when the brute uttered squeal of recognition and
both men saw several mounted Arabs sllhOuetted
against the northern sky line. An answering grunt
came from of their camels and hubbub of
voices sank family into the somber depths, as the
wind not felt in that sheltered place.

MARTINS HEARING BEGUN.
Alleged Agent of Detroit Scale Com
pany on Trial at Orangeburg.

pany on Trial at Orangeburg.
J.. 7. Martin, charged with using
the United States mails with inetnt
to defraud, was given a hearing be-
fore United States Commissioners
Robert Lide Tuesday The hearing
was not concluded, and the defend
ant was recolnmitted to Jail in de-
fault of $1,000 bail.
This case grew out of an alleged
attempt on the part of Martin to de-
fraud Mr.. G. M. Mobiles, of Branch
vile, by scheme through which Mr..
Mobiles was to have become the South
Carolina manager Of the Standard
Computing Scales Company of De-
troit, Mich, Martin claiming that he
had the authority to make such a
contract The consideration was to
have been $500, but before the
money was paid, Mr.. Mobiles COM
municated with the Detroit company
and received the information that
no such man as J. T. Martin had any
connection with it; whereupon Mr..
Mobiles proceeded to turn the alleg-
ed swindlers over to the State au-
thorities. 1t seems, however. tnar
no case can be made against Martin
under the State laws as the transac-
ton was not completed and he did
not actually perform fraudulent
act, no matter what his intention
might have been. But the Federal
authorities are now pushing the case
against Martin, as negotiations be-
tween him and Mr. Mobiles were car
ried on by mail, and Uncle Sam
counts it crime to use the mails
even in an attempt to defraud.
Another feature of the case is that
Martin was identified severa' ldays
ago by Mr. Cornelius ]. Colcock, of
Switzerland, S. c., who came to Or
angeburg for the sole purpose of
finding out whether or not Martin
is the party who swindled Mr..
New, Mr.. Colcock's father-ln-law, in
another part of the State several
years ago, the scheme being similar
to that which Mr.. Mobiles claims Mar
tin attempted to work on him. Mar
tin secured several hundred dollars
from Mr. New and skipped, so says
Mr. Colcock, who is positive that
Martin is the man, although at the
time of the New swindle he wetn by
the name of Henderson and, curious
as it may seem, the first person with
whom Martin communicated after
being lodged in Jail was Mrs. Hen
derson, telegram bein gsent to her
at a Kentucky town.
Martin, who has been in jail for
more than a week, still maintains
that he is innocent of any attempt
at wrong-doing, and that his connec-
ton with the Standard Computing
Scale Company genuine, the com
pany's reputation to the contrary
Notwithstanding, but so far has fail
ed to substantiate his statement with
any evidence of documentary
character.

Importance of Registering.

Urges Upon Voters of His District
Importance of Registering.
Congressman A. F. Lever has just
issued the following letter urging
the great Importance Of getting new
registration tickets in compliance
with the law:
II want to urge the people Of the
district the very great Importance of
each man seeing to it that he gets
registration certificate this year
and before the registration books
close. Each man who wishes to
avail himself of the rights and privi-
leges of an elector must provide him
self with a registration certificate.
He cannot vote without it,. and no
man can refuse to qualify himself to
vote if the occasion arises when his
vote is needed either to preserve
white supremacy or to hold our re-
presentation in Congress. There is
no smore important matter before
the people than this matter of reg
istration. Do not neglect this!

Deafness Cannon p~ Cured.

by local application, as they cannot
reach the disease portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamamed condition of the mucous
lining of the ustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out OF ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inf1amed condition Of the hucous
surfaces.

HON. JOHN GARY EVANS.
Always Loyal to His Party and Fear
less in Proclaiming It's Principles.

Hon. John Gary Evans is candi-
date for the United States Senate at
the ensuing Democratic primary. He
is well known to the people Of the
State. He is making the race on his
own merits, and his long and honor
able official record is his best COM
mendation. From early manhood,
he has given his best thought and
most earnest efforts to the State Of
his nativity and love.
In every position to which the peo-
pie elevated him, he was faithful to
his trust and true to the people. He
has been a close student Of affairs,
and an earnest worker for the de-
velopment of our agricultural, COM
niercial and manufacturing interests.
His familiarity with questions OF
government, and his conspicuous and
valuable public services as legislator
and Governor, furnish the strongest
evidence of his fitness fer the high
position to which he aspires. With
an intellect trained by careful study,
combined with his acknowledged
ability, convincing oratory and
strong personality, it would be dlfil-
cult to find one better equipped for
the office of Senator.
The man for Senator, in addition
to high characer and intellectual
qualifications, should understand
the wants and aspirations OF the
masses. Gov Evans not only knows
their needs, but is in full sympathy
with them. He has been tried, and
in every exigency that has arisen.
he has always been on the side OF
the people.
We need now, more than ever, men
in the Senate who will stand for the
rights of the citizens against organ
lied wealth, who will eQualize the
burdens of government, and who will
give to every one square deal.
In plain, we need Democrat true
at all times and on all occasions to
the principles of his party. One who
believes not In special privileges,
but in equal and exact justice to all.
Gov. Evans is such man. He
measures up to the standard requir-
ed by conscientious and enlightened
citizenship.
No one has questioned. or can
question his Democracy. He has al
ways been loyal to his party, and
fearless in proclaiming its principles.
When others advocated new tangled
ideas of commercialism, and sought
to lead the people astray, Gov. Evans
was wise enough to detect the move
ment and brave enough to expose it's
fallacy.
John Gary Evans Is clean. honest
and true to right ideals. He is the
friend of right and the enemy Of
wrong in his public and private life.
With clear record OF distin-
guished service, he is nObly amblti-
Gus to represent his State In the ma
tion's Senate. If he is elected. the
people will have Senator who will
serve them with unfaltering devo-
ton, and whose highest aim VIII he
to advance the prosperity or and
add new glory to. the State.
