Nobody Knows But Mother.

Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
Nobody knoWs-but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes,
Which kisses only mother;
Nobody's painted by naughty blows.
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother;
Nobody knows of the tender prayer;
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the lessons taught
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows Of the patience
sought;
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears,
Lest darlings may not weather
The storm of life in after years,
Nobody knows-but mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father
For that sweetest gift-a mother's
love
Nobody can-but mother.

An Account From Latta.

Latta, June 15.-Dr. H. A. Ed
wards of this place shot and perhaps
fatally wounded John Kirby, of Dill
lon, at the home of julie Kirby, a
brother of John, this afternoon about
$3.50 O'Clock.
DR.. Edwards was rendering profes-
sional service to julie and on a visit
to his home this afternoon he was
assaulted by John, who is said to
have been in a drunken rage. 1t is
said that Kirby was angry with Ed
wards and before he arrived at julie
home had made threats that he,
Kirby, would give Edwards one OF
the worst beatings he ever had.
Upon Edwards's arrival he began
cursing him and Edwards, seeing
Johns condition, told julie he would
see him later and started to leave.
John attacked Edwards, pinioning
his arms to his side and catching his
right ear between his teeth. Ed
wards struggled with him, but, see
ing he was soon to: be overpowered, !,
freed his right arm and shot Kirby
four times, all the shots taking effect
in Kirby's body.
DR.. Edwards was seen this after
noon and said the affair was unavoid-
able on his part and he regrets 1t
very much. His ear is badly torn.
Further particulars are unobtainable.

Falls Some $500 Feet.

Berwin, Neb., June ia local
inventor fell $500 feet in a crippled
aeroplane here to-day. He was not
seriously hurt.
The amateur aviator was U. Soren-
son, a blacksmith, who, in view OF
several hundred townsmen, made the
ascent in a balloon and then attempt
ed a descent in an aeroplane that he
had constructed after several
months labor. When he cut the
aeroplane loose it began to descend
at a terrific speed, turning over and
over as it dropped. The inventor
clung to the craft and when it struck
the ground he was in sitting pos
ture.
The aeroplane was demolished,
but Sorenson, though knocked sense
less and sustaining numerous
bruises, was soon revived, not Sc
riously worse off for his experience.

ACQUITTED OF FORGERY.
Verdict of Not Guilty in Case Against
Former Bank Official.

Aiken, June 12.-After consuming
almost four days, the trial Of B.
Monroe Weeks, charged with forgery,
was concluded this afternoon. The
trial was begun on Wednesday morn
ing and concluded this afternoon
when the jury rendered verdict OF
not guilty. Quite a surprise was
sprung yesterday afternoon by them
and Immediately the summing up by
the attorneys on both sides was be-
gun, Messrs. T. G.. Croft, Jr., and
W. @. Davis, speaking for the de-
fense, and Solicitor ]. F. Byrnes and
Duncan Bellinger, of Columbia, for
the prosecution.
The summaries were completed
this morning and after the Judge s
charge the case was given to the
jury in the early afternoon.
This case has attracted widespread
interest sll over the State. 1t will
be recalled that nearly three years
ago an alleged shortage was discov-
cred in the accounts of the Peoples q
bank. That institution merged with
the Bank of Aiken soon after. Mr..
Weeks was assistant cashier OF the
bank a short time before it merged
with the Bank of Aiken. When the
alleged shortage was discovered ex-
pert accountants were employed to
check up the accounts. A number OF
alleged false entries were found.
Mr.. Weeks was specifically charg-
ed with forging the name Of w. M.
Hutson to a note for $400. This was
the count upon which four days were
consumed in trying the case. There
are six other counts against him, all
in connection with the alleged short
age. These are yet to be tried II the
prosecution sees fit to push them.
At present Mr.. Weeks is proprietor
of large livery business in this city
and is man of considerable promi-
nence in business affairs. Had the
defense put up witnesses it would
have been doubtful if the case would
have gone to the jury at all, as this
is special term of court, ending to-
night, and it is said that the jury
could not have been held over next
week. Monday morning the regular
summer term of court will convene,
but this term was ordered by the
governor some weeks ago.
The alleged shortage in the bank
was about $4,000.

Why the Clemson College authori-
ties should want the Press Associa-
uon or why the Press Association
should want to meet at Clemson, we
fail to see. The charges made
against Clemson are such. that the
editors could not find out anything
about them during their stay, for the
college will be closed and the stu
dents gone home at the time Of the
meeting. Of course if the editors
want to meet at Clemson next year
we don't care, but we cannot see any
good results to the college or the AS
sociation.

Our legislators may not think so,
but nevertheless it is true that there
is a strong sentiment developing in
South Carolina for the sale of the
State farms and that the convicts
be put on the public roads in the va
rious counties. The people who live
in the country want good roads and
they say the convicts will be of much
more benefit if used in building
roads than in farming. In fact
many farmers cannot understand
the right of the State to 60 into
farming as a business. We have lit
tie doubt but that the question OF
selling the State farms and putting
the convicts on the public roads will
be an issue in the campaign next
year.

No Chance of Evading Watchers.

Washington, June 13.-Although
no news came to-day from the reve-
nue. cutters which are watching the
movements of the suspected filibuster
steamer Nanticoke, Capt. Ross to-
night expressed confidence that no
vessels would leave Virginia or North
Carolina waters with contraband
aboard.
Advices from Norfolk tonight con-
flict with the report from Beaufort
to the effect that the Nanticoke is at
Edenton. They state that the vessel
is at Franklin, Va, which is located
on the Black Water river, about SO
miles above Edenton. 1t is stated
that last reports from Franklin re-
ceived late to-day were to the effect
that an unknown vessel, which is
believed to be private yacht, or
revenue cutter, is anchored in the
Black Water river near the Nanti-
coke. The officers of the Nanticoke
have been very courteous to visitors,
the dispatch says, but are reticent
when the subject of their destina-
ton is broached. The steamer is
said to be heavily loaded with coal.
Although the Nanticoke's officers
said last night they expected to sail
early to-day she was still at Frank
lin when the last reports were re-
ceived from that place tonight.

CLEMSON WANTS THE EDITORS
And They Are Likely to Gather At
the College.

1t is likely that the South Caro-
lima Press Association will hold its
1910 meeting at Clemson College.
The college authorities have extend
ed the editors of the State cordial
invitation to come to the college then
and spend a week, the college author
tiles to pay the expenses of week. S
entertainment out of their own poch-
cts.
This is done because of the recent
discussion that has been going On
over the State about the manage
ment of Clemson. The college All
thorities say they want the newspa-
per men to come there and personal
ly inspect the plant and workings OF
the college, and write afterwards just
how they feel about the matter.
This will appeal strongly to many
of the newspaper men over the State,
and it is thought the Press Associa-
ton will accept the invitation.

WATCHING NANTICOKE.
Two Revenue Cutters on Lookout to
Prevent Fiibustering Expedition.

Beaufort, N. c., June 13.-With
two revenue cutters, the Semlnole
and the Pamlico, on watch, and with
great seas making the lnlets connect
Ing the North Caronna sounds With
the Atlantic ocean impossible 1o1
any but the strongest craft, chances
of success OF a tiIlbuster expedition
from these waters directed against
venezuela are to-day small. Yester-
GAY the Palmico lett New borne, n.
| c., under instructions to get IN toucn
with the ancient slde-w neeler Nantl-
coke, suspected OF fllibustering lnten'
| tions. This vessel was at last ac-
counts at Edenton, n. G.
The treasury department aid was
invoked because OF persistent rumors
that ex-President Castro*s friends
were planning a hostile expedition
against President Gomez's govern
ment. 1t was alleged that 10000 or
$4,000 stands of arms had been ship
ped from Belgium to America for
this expedition.
According to advices, the promot-
ers of this enterprise, realizing the
impossibility of transhipping these
arms at any Atlantic port, planned
to send them to some interior port
of entry, whence they would be
transported quietly to some small
South Atlantic port and shipped TO
Venezuela. =,
1t was discovered that two vessels
suitable for flibustering purposes
had been sold by a New York broker
age firm to. unknown parties. Both
were near Norfolk. One was found
to be the Nanticoke. The name OF
the other cannot be learned.
There is no warrant out for the
seizure Of the Nanticoke, but there
is nothing to prevent the revenue Of
fcers from searching the vessel,
which they will doubtless do If they
fall in with her.
It is reported from one quarter
that the vessels are designed to ply
in peaceful trade upon some of the
inland waters of Venezuela.

of Dillon, Fight.

of Dillon, Fight.
Dillon, June 15.-In personal
difficulty to-day between DR.. H. A.
Edwards, of Latta, and John Kirby,
of Dillon, DR.. Edwards was pain
fully hurt and Kirby dangerously
shot.
Kirby was at DR.. Edwards's Office
in Latta this morning, where sharp
words passed between them, growing
out of some previous misunderstand-
ing. DR.. Edwards and Kirby met
again a few hours after at the home
of julie Kirby, brother Of John, at
Dothan, four miles from Dillon,
where DR.. Edwards was attending
one of the family. The difficulty was
at once renewed, Kirby closing in
and throwing DR.. Edwards to- the
floor. Kirby is physically much the
stronger man. DR.. Edwards, 1t is
said, felt that his life was in danger
and drawing his pistol, placed the
muzzle against his antagonist, firing
four times in rapid succession, all the
shots taking effect, three of them in
the lett side and front, about the
short ribs.
Three of them passed entirely
through Kirby's body just to the left
of the spinal column. The fourth
struck just below the left arm-pit
and lodged in the chest cavity. The
physicians regard his condition as
exceedingly grave. DR.. Edwards is
painfully but is not considered seri-
ously hurt.

bread from -four made from this va
riety Of grain.
Concerning interesting tests with
this -four, Mr.. Cristadoro, who has
made durum wheat his speciality and
is regarded as an eminently compe-
tent authority on cereals, says: -
-Four years ago the United
States department of agriculture
demonstrated in an exhaustive, care
full test the superiority of durum
flour as bread -four over the here
tofore acknowledged superlative
-four made from Minnesota spring
wheat. From each kind of -four
200 loaves were baked, and the 400
loaves were sent to 200 scientists,
bakers, millers, housekeepers, and
others for comparison. Of those who
answered, "a per cent gave the palm
to the durum loaf The department
of agriculture summoned up the re-
plies about as follows
1.-The durum loaf was better COL
ored and more moist; the general
opinion of the durum flour as
against the other was in favor of the
durum flour loaf.
"A New York paper devoted to
bakery interests made a similar test
lact year, having Adolph Schinkle,
said to be one of the most experien-
ced bakers in the United States, con-
duct the test. Mr.. Schinkle report
ed that durum -four yielded Is
pounds more dough to the barrel
than did the Minnesota spring wheat
had higher water ABSORPTION; the
grain of durum was even, close and
fine; the durum loaf had a rich.
creamy color which was very pleas
ing and looked as if milk and malt
extract had been used, although
neither was used; the durum loaf
on the whole, presented a much bet

giving an impression Of richness and
solidity. Sugar need not be added
to durum -four, it being particularly
rich in saccharine content, which ex-
plains the bloom and good appear
ance of the loaf. The durum loaf
had a very agreeable taste and was
fully as satisfactory as the other. 1t
was agreeable to eat and still moist,
even after the fourth day. The
durum -four yielded 1888 pounds of
dough to the barrel, 80 pounds more
than the MinneTota spring wheat
flour. AS to the Minnesota spring
wheat -four loaf, it provided larger

no longer be eaten when the durum
loaf was still moist and palatable.

Lundyfoot and His Snuff,

The shop of a Dublin tobacconist
named Lundyfoot was destroyed by
fire. While he was gazing dolefully
into the smoldering ruins he noticed
that his poorer neighbors were gath

tested the snuff, for himself and dis
covered that the fire had largely i'm
proved Its pungency and aroma. This
was a hint worth profiting by. He Sc
cured another shop, built a lot Of
ovens, subjected the snuf to a heat

thought had ruined him. It was Lun-

conist upon the panels Of his carriage,

Experiences Of Emperor Napoleon !. at
Masked Ball.

Experiences Of Emperor Napoleon i. at
Masked Ball.
The Emperor Napoleon I. once an
nounced to his valet that he intended
on a certain evening going to ball at
the Italian embassy and requested
that complete costumes should be sent
in advance. The valet, Constant,
obeyed and attended his imperious mas
ter and commenced to dress him In q
manner which might, had the emperor
followed the Wallets advice, haye de-
fed detection. Constant had. some
trouble with Napoleon over one OF. two
minor matters, but when it came to
changing his top boots for shoes the
emperor resolutely refused.
Going into the ballroom, Napoleon at
once relapsed into his accustomed at
titude and, wishing to engage lady
in conversation, approached her with
his hands behind his back. To his
first question she prefaced her reply
with "sire." Turning away abruptly,
he went back to his room and said:
''You were right, Constant. I have
been recognized. Give me another cos
tune and shoes this time"
The valet redressed his master and
warned him to keep his hands at his
side. No sooner had he entered the
room the second time than once more
he relapsed into his natural attitude.
This time lady addressed him. "Sire,
you are recognized" Once more the
emperor left the room in disgust.
Returning to his room, Napoleon
was disguised for the third time. His
toilet complete, he went back to the
ballroom, which he entered as If It
were a barrack room, pushing and
staggering. He was at once detected,
and some one whispered to him,
"Your majesty is recognized" An
other disappointment and another
change, still with the same result, and
in the end the emperor left the en-
bassy convinced that it was impossi-
BILE to conceal his identity.

October 1928, Charles Christadoro Of
Point Iona, San Diego, Cal, re-
garded as the leading durum wheat
expert of the country, announces the
purpose of the proposed "Durum
Bread Day.
with a view of popularizing du-
rum flour, opening up new channels
for it's use, increasing, consequently
the call for durum wheat and, ulti-
mately, raising the price of durum
wheat perhaps to 81 bushel, the
farmers of North and South Dako-
ia and Minnesota, at their recent
convention at Fargo, N. D., asked
the governor to proclaim a "Durum
Bread Day. on which the whole
country would be asked to join in
eating durum bread.
"If success follows the efforts of
the committee, durum wheat will be-
come a popular wheat, the price will
advance and it will become an ideal
ly profitable crop for the dry farmer
to grow. Dollar durum wheat
means everything to dry farming"
The durum bread idea will be car
ried into other western states and
housewives throughout the grain
producing sections of the country as
we'll as in the entire western agri'
cultural region will be asked to de-
vote one day in the year to baking
