OF pretty Clara Rosen the solution of
the terrible murder is believed to be
buried According to the police de-

A New Back for an old One. How II

The back aches at times with a
dull, understandable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame to stoop is agony. No use to
rub or apply a plaster to the back
IN this condition. You cannot
reach the cause Exchange the bad
back for a new and stronger one.
Greenville residents would do we'll

Mrs. H \. Austin, $50 Oak St,

trouble with my back and Kidneys
ever since | was twelve years old,
and the pains / endured through my
loins laid me up on more than one
occasion. I could hardly straighten
and can only describe my misery by
saying that it felt as if the flesh and
muscles of my back were in a vice
and being twisted. Accompanying
these troubles | had an annoyance
with the kidney secretions, the pas
sages often being retarded, scaney
and distressing. Dizzy spells were
frequent and | received no relief I'M

lege of Columbus, Miss, now has
the largest summer attendance in

cations the fall attendance will far

TENS alone entitie us to patron
age far beyond that of any other
commercial school With these sys-
TENS we can turn out a better book

schools teaching other systems, this
is a great saving of time and ex-
pense to any student. In the second
place the institution is managed by
successful business men, who know
how to put system and modern bus
mess methods into their work We
employ the best teaching talent to
be had and leave nothing undonc
that will enable us to turn out first

ers We have won reputation for
placing our graduates with respon-
sible firms at good salaries, with
good promotion ahead. We long
ago learned that the success of our

SENATOR GORE
Pleads for the Removal Of Tariff on
Print Paper.

The following Is an extract from
the speech of Senator Gore of Ok
lahoma, before the senate. having
under discussion the tariff bill in
regard TO the print paper schedule
In my judgment a tax on print
paper is tax on intelligence. It
is fine on knowledge. 1t sets
premium on ignorance and penal
~ on learning A tax on print pa
per is a shade on the lamp of en-
lightenment and cloud over the
sun of civilization
1t is true as it is ancient that a
free press is the palladium of liber-
ty. Tyrants have never been able to
thrive in that white light which
free press sheds upon the throne 1t
is the sacred duty of the press to
speak the truth to the king in the
hearing of the people, and to the
people in the hearing OF the king
The first recorded utterance CT
the most high God was Let there
be light" This has ever been the
battle hymn of human progress.
This has ever been. and must ever
be the watchword of advancing civ
nization. The nation that forgets
this mandatemust relapse into prirn-
eval chaos and intellectual night
There are kindreds among the sons
Of men who are still thralled TO the
power of darkenss. There are SEN
ators who seem dedicated to dark
ness rather than light.
Notwithstanding the first fat OF
Omnipotence was, Let there be
light" yet this senate IN defiance soi
the decree, sets up its puny enact
meat, LET there be night"
Whether physical, intellectual or
0oral, light is a blessing to be
sought and not an evil to be shun-
