More than a million women have ac-

she has decided to continue the offer for
awhile longer, at least.

/ x..l All, SILENT FIREARM.
DEPARTMENT "K"
eRocKTok MASS.

Hiram Percy Maxim, son of Sir HI
ram Maxim, who invented the machine
gun which bears his name, has been
granted a patent for a silent fire
arm," and this new weapon, in the
eyes of experts, threatens to revolu-
tionize the world Of arms.
BY the device of the young inventor,
now formally announced as fully per-
fected, the discharge of rife or re-
volver is rendered practically noise
less. The possibility. combined with
the use of smokeless powder, intro
duces a new factor upon the stage of
warfare, The silent firearm," so mil
itary experts assert, may lead to entire
re-equipment of the armies of the
world.
In the hands of the sportsman, too,
the noiseless weapon offers possibilities
hitherto unknown. On the other hand,
If within reach of the criminal classes,
it presents new and difficult problem
with which the authorities of the
world may have to cope. Thus, the
name of Maxim again threatens to
work another sweeping revolution In
the world Of firearms.
POSSIBILITIES FOR CRIMINALS.
Because of its dreadful possibilities
in the world Of crime many police
officials already have insisted that the
manufacture and disposal of the new
device should be safeguarded by law.
The assassin, by its use, would be
enabled to pick off his victim, and find
opportunity of escaping from the hid
ing place in which he had lain con-
cealed without attracting suspicion.
Maxim's friends assert that he will
tender the new device first to the
United States Government.
Hiram Percy Maxim is 80 years old
and was born in Brooklyn. He is the
inventor of many new ordnance mis-
siles and studied the subject of aerial
torpedoes for a time. Since 1895 he
has been associated with automobile
construction and development, having
studied every type of the modern mol
tor vehicle.

hitched bis horse in the yard Of the
Valley Hotel and few hours after
went for the team and found it miss
ing. He supposed that some friend had
taken 1t fora short drive, gave himself
no concern but when he went back a
few hours after the team was still
missing. Night came on I'D by that
time ne began to realize that it was
theft. Diligent search was made in
every quarter and finally clew was
caught at the toll gates on the Will
Transport pike. The keepers had sees a
yellew man driving such a team
through that day and finally it was
found that the team was at Haxers
town. Mr.. KIlmer went over to that
place and found his team but the mare
had her tail blocked off ard her main
cut short. The top had been taken off
the buggy and thrown away and the
whole team had been SO changed that
it was hardly recognized by its owner.
The team had been fund wandering
about on the commons. There is no
clue as to the thief.

The Law! The Law!
Charlotte Observer.

In an address in Union City, Tenn.
recently, Governor Patterson, of
that State, uttered these solemn
words:
My felow-citizehs, there is one
thought want to impress upon you,
and that is this: There is too much
lawlessness in the South; it is not only
organized but individual, and | never
hear of case of either that have not
from the bottom OF my heart depIored it.
This lawlessness is not confined to
Tennessee; it extends through all our
Southern CCmmOnwealths. The most
serious menace i'll the South today is
lack of respect for law. We have Il great
section of country, the richest in the
MON, and there are vast possibilities
before us; we have the purest race of
people on the continent; AnglO-SaXOn
blood flows through our veins; we
sprang from great and illustriOus ances-
tors. and we have Il duty to perform.
No State can advance whose people do
not respect the law; no country can hold
together that is governed by disorder
and not by the principles OF law and JUS
tice Great applause
These words should sink deep into
every Southern heart. There cannot he
happiness or substantial progress where
law is set aside, where the passions of
men are unbridled and their crimes go
unpublished The Christian religion is
one of rewards and punishments and
those who believe in it wonder how a
section can prosper at all where injustice
is so much countenanced and the laws of
God and man are set at defiance. Wheth-
er one believes in this religion or not
he knows 10y common observation of the
ineXorable operation of the law of COM
pensation and must know that retri-
hutton awaits some where.
