pecially interesting. We want to have
a series Of letters from Laurens coun-
ty children to Santa Claus. Any child
I'm the county will be eligible to write
q letter and all of them, within a rea-
sonable number, will be published in
the Christmas edition. We would like
for the mothers to get the children
to write them and mail them to us.
We can hardly imagine anything more
interesting for a Xmas edition.
Now. Mr.. Merchant! This will be
the biggest and best edition OF the
paper to be gotten out during the
whole year. 1t will be eagerly read
by all OF our subscribers and will be
put aside for future reference. AS
an advertising medium for the Christ
mas holidays and for all time, it will
not be surpassed. Doubtless every
hustling merchant in town will take
advantage Of this opportunity to get
before the public. We would advise
that preparations be made at once and
orders sent in early, so that the choice
space may be contracted for. Those
merchants that have holiday cuts laid
aside would do well to get them out
now and turn them over to us with
their copy SO that we may have them
in time to get up an attractive dis
play.
We are especially anxious though,
about those letters from the children.
Have the little ones write them right
away.

As much as we might have sympa-
thi1ed with Mrs. Lucy DugaS Tiliman.
in her motherly fight for her two lit
tie girls during the past wear. we
must express q FEELING OF disappumt-
ment in that she has volunteered to
again air family trou.ies before the
people OF the state. Very few were
they who did not side with her i'm her
long and bitter struggle for the little
ones but now that she is making an
attempt to get hold OF that which we
believe she cannot possibly obtain or
claim, we must confess to be disap-
pointed
Even though Admitting that Benia-
min Ryan Tnlman. Jr.. may have lead
a wild and roIlicking life and may
have spent large part even of the
money OF his wife. still that is what
was expected If she complacently AL
lowed it, When they oecame man and
wife and She turned over to him the
management OF her estate. without any
strings tied thereto she gave him the
use OF her money to use il as he saw
NJ. for their comfort and pleasure
Doubtless some of this he expended
wisely and some unwscly. but she ac-
quiesced in it all. The money Is spent
and she has no security and there is
little hope for its recovery
Therefore. we again say that she
was wrong in again placing herself
and her family affairs before the eyes
OF the public.

WORRIED BY PINcAor
Conservation Congress May Not Be
Held at ST. Paul.

Washington, July 15.-Unless there
is a decided change in sentiment, ST.
Paul will withdraw its invitation to
the Conservation Congress, which is
scheduled to meet in that city Sep
TENDER 6, The threatened break is
stated to be due to the program ar
ranged by Clifford Pinchot, which
gives undue prominence TO the insur-
gents who have been most free in
the criticism of the Taft administra-
ton. The information received here
is to the effect that the Minnesota
Republicans, including Gov Eberhart
are uneasy over the prospects of a
split" in the party and are appre-
hensive that Pinchot's scheme to
give all the prominence to the insur-
gents may result in strengthening
the ranks of the insurgents in Min
nesota at a cost to the regulars.
President Taft is said to be dis
pleased at the undue prominence Civ
en- the insurgents by Pinchot, espec-
tally the announcement that Attor-
ney Branders, who represented Gla-
Wis at the Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
cation, is to be one of the principal
speakers. Col. Roosevelt, who is to
be a leading spirit at the Congress,
has not yet been heard from, and it
is not known that he has any OBJ
lection to the program as arranged.
An effort is being made to Shift the
congress to Kansas City.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota and
the Hill railroad influences are the
chief factors in the opposition to the
program which has been prepared.
They are taking the position that il
is intended to strike at the admins
tration. This is strongly denied by
the men responsible for the program
They say they have no purpose to say
or do anything against the admins
tration, and that all they are doing is
to further the cause Of conservation
the best they know how.
A conference was held in Chicago
today which was expected to settle
whether the meeting viii be held in
st. Paul or elsewhere. Mr.. Pinchoi
went to Chicago to attend. Others
include b. n, Baker, president of the
congress; j. B. White, a prominent
officer of the congress- T. r. Ship
secretary of the National Conserva
ton Congress; Judge Eberhart, anC
number of Minnesota Democrats.
Chicago, July 14.-Officials of the
National Conservation Congress who
are in session in Chicago with Gif
ford Pinchot, are maintaining the
most rigid secrecy in their meeting
The session was held at the Con
gress Hotel and many Of thos who
attended did not even register. Pin
chots program for the conference
which was to have been held in st

RAISING COST OF MILK
New York Dealers Will Do Il If the
Present Conditions Continue.

New York Dealers Will Do II If the
Present Conditions Continue.
New York, July l5.-Prolongation
of the hot, dry weather may result in
raising the cost of milk. In fact, it
was said yesterday, dealers who are
having trouble in supplying their
customers already have under con-
sideration an advance in price paid
to producers. The torrid weather
affects work both ways, stimulating
the demand and at the same time
the supply continues to decrease.
Three cents a quart, the present
price paid to the farmers, is stated to
be the highest June price for milk
in thirty years.
The advance of one-quarter of a
cent, now said to be probable, would
be likely it is thought to cause an
increase in the retail price of bottled
milk In this locality from TO
cents quart with corresponding adj
yances for milk sold from cans
Parched fields in the country dis
tricts, the farmers say, have cut
down the milk yield so that it is diff
ficult for them to keep up with the
demand. An advance, local distri.
buffers believe, would have the effect
OF stimulating the flow of milk and
this way enabling them to fill theiI
customers orders.
