DR.. HUGHES PAPER
ELECTED INTEREST
At Meeting in Richmond of
Gri-State Medical Society.
QUACkERY is ROBBERY
Richmond Newspaper Prints Compli-
mentary Synopsis of the Lau-
rens Doctors Paper.

renS DOCtOrS Gaper.
In the Richmond Times Dispatch Of
last Wednesday morning was an ac-
count Of the Tri-State Medical society
meetings. Most prominent among
those mentioned in connection with
the proceedings was DR.. r. e. Hughes
of this oi'y, who read a paper on
"Quack Loctors and the Religious
Press" The fact that among the 600
members OF the society, and among all
those who read papers, but two Of
them were especially mentioned, enc
of these being DR.. Hughes, is more
than an ordinary compliment In
fact, from all reports, Dr. Hughes
paper was the "hit' of the meeting.
A brief synopsis Of the paper will
be published next week
Following is what the Times-Dis-
patch has to say of Dr. Hughes paper:
Holding that a quack is no better
than thief, DR.. Rolfe e. Hughes. of
Laurens, S. c., in a paper read before
the twelfth annual convention of the
Tri-State Medical society, at the JEFF
ferson Hotel yesterday sounded a
warning to those who read the ad-
vertisements in religious papers, most
. of which, he said teemed with the paid
matter Of imposters, who asserting
that they could cure any and all hu-
man Ills, duped So per cent, of the
readers.
They believe" said DIR. Hughes, in
referring to those who read such peri
odicals, every word of it and go on
through life from childhood with un-
derlying faith pinned to their church
paper, and would as soon doubt their
mother or their clergyman. A quack,"
he continued, "is no better than thief
He is robber, and the religious pa
pers are helping him by pious editor
lals, and while the readers may have
some difficulties in recognizing the
degree of quackery, per Sc, he finds
no such abstacle in the case of plain
stealing, and though thoughtless
enough to tamper with his physical
condition, he does resent the theft
when he realizes that the quack is
robbing him. Quackery and robbery
are synonymous"
While apparently in no sense an
advocate Of Christian Science. DIR
Hughes mucn preferred it to the forms
or quackery advertised in the religious
Jounals. He said that it possessed "a
salutary and redeeming feature, by
making the patient forget and believe
that disease and death do not exist.-no
Tear OF troubles here and assured of
eternal bliss above. There being no
rear and no nervous tension, they be-
come self-reliant, and are considered
good risks by insurance companies"
AS to the quacks," he continued
we must have some admiration for
their gall and quilting; for the reading
public. pity and prayer, but for the re-
ligious press, they stand indicted.
When my love says she is made of
truth. do believe her. though / know
she lies. BY unanimous vote DR..
Hughes speech was ordered printed
and forwarded to every religious paper
in the three states represented by the
association.

HERO FINALLY
 IS CAPTURED
Hundred Special Deputies Waged
 Battle Against John Dietz.
Special to the News.

St. Paul Minn., Dec. 21-Following a battle with 100 special deputy sheriffs, John H. Dietz, the defender of Cameron dam, Wisconsin, was recently captured by Sheriff Mike Maddon and posse
 Dietz surrendered after he was shot, His little daughter, Helen, emerged weeping from the cabin, carrying white flag. The father had refused to let his wife take up the battle after he was wounded.
 In the long fight Oscar Harp, deputy, was killed; another deputy wounded, and Clarence and Myra Dietz shot-the girl through the body.
 The husband was taken to Winter, Wis, where he was threatened with lynching.
 Dietz' name has become household word. For years he waged war single handed against the largest lumber com pany in Wisconsin. He refused to allow logs to pass through Cameron dam on the Thornapple river without paying toll.
 He was fought in the courts but de- fled the orders of the judges, and held at bay at the point of gun all who at tempted to serve papers on him. He finally won and the company paid him large sum.
 The sheriffs have deputized men from all over the state, and often they talked with Dietz, but none dared serve the papers they had in their pockets.
 The latest controversy arose when Dietz shot Bert Horrel at Winter, in dis pute over rent due on the school house. Over 100 special deputies were sworn in and marched on Dietz' cabin where he and his family were barricaded. In all eight indictments stand against Dietz.

THE CHRISTMAS HOUR.

At the solemn hour of midnight, From beyond created spheres, From the Heaven of heavens eternal, God on earth as man appears. Not in the burning bush,
 Or Sinai's laundering crest; But weak and tender infant On His virgin mothers breast. Not that earth confines Him, For God is everywhere! This wonder of the ages
 By the prophets song foretold. To succeeding generations
 Their glories will unfold. By the angels songs exalted, Peace, on earth good will to men, Filled all the earth and heaven, And down the course of ages, With joyful cadence strong, Each passing generation Sings that celestial song. It will survive remotest time And reach eternal shores
 In joyful, rapturous harmony, Praise God, forever more.

THREE TIMES DEAD
BUT STILL LIVING
Veteran of 1912 Dies in 1916.
Then in 1847 and Then
Just Recently.
FOUGHT AGAINST MEXICO
NOW COMES HIS WIDOW AND
SAYS SUMERAL DENNIS HAS
JUST DEPARTED.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The officials
toned to receive claims for pensions
which are stranger than fiction. They
are at work on claim made by Mrs,
Sumeral Dennis, of Dadeville, Ala,
which caused them no end of surprise.
6umeral Dennis, it appears ON the
official records, died in 1919 after
serving in the American army during
the war of 1872. According to the
records. he also died in 1917 at the
close of the war with Mexico, in which
he also did good service. Now comes
his widow and declares that Sumeral
Dennis died only few years ago, hay
ing lived to ripe old age.
Senator Johnston of Alabama has Ia
pushing it before the senate committee
on claims with the hope of winning
the pension for the old lady, who lives
now in Dadeville, with her son, Per-
ry c. Dennis, a prominent attorney.
II the pension claim goes through
Mrs. Dennis will receive in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, including the back
pension which is due her.
Sumeral Dennis has death record
that few can beat. The officials here
are afraid that he may yet be discov-
cred alive.
Way back in 1912 he lived in South
Carolina During the second war
with Great Britain Mr. Dennis became
a member of Capt. Beattly's company
in the LIST Regiment of the South Caro-
lima militia. He served CALAMITY dur
ing the war But, according to the rec
ords on file here, he died his first death
in 1913.
But. in spite of the fact that he was
officially dead, Mr. Dennis. who was
still young man, moved to Alabama
where he settled and lived prosperous
ly, until the Mexican war broke out.
His old spirit for war was still alive,
and he organized company of volun-
teers himself and Joined the army of
invasion.
After this war he was officially re-
ported dead for the second time. How
ever. he lived to return to Alabama
and to marry Mrs. Eva p. Dennis some
years later. 1t is Mrs. Dennis who is
now seeking the pension. The old
man was ninety-four years old when
he died the third time.
When the officials here raise the
criticism of the claim that Mr.. Dennis
died after the Mexican war. before
Mrs. Dennis claims to have married
him, Senator Johnston points to the
fact that, according to the records,
Dennis was dead in 1915, and yet the
latter records show him to have served
in the Mexican war.
The senator argues therefore, that if
the records as to his death were wrong
in the first instance, they might be
wrong in the second. and that Mr.. Den
mis- widow should know, if any one,
when her husband died and if she
married the shadow of man.

first degree and now serving the fourth
year of life sentence in the state pen
ltentiary at Saltwater. may be an in

The complete vindication of young
Mckenzie rests upon the Identification
of Dutch Henry" a cattle rustler and
horse thief. who was shot and killed
by Royal Northwestern mounted po-
lice, sixty miles south of Moose Jaw,
Saskatchewan. Dutch Henry" is the
man for whose murder Mckenzie was
sentenced to spend his life in prison
The work of unraveling the long
skein of legal complications which re-
suited in landing Mckenzie behind
prison lars for life was commenced
1t is expected that in a few days Me
kenzie will go free to join his aged
father and mother, who have worked
untiringly for four years to prove his
innocence.
Mckenzie's case is one of the

In April, 1906, the partially decom-
posed body Of man was found in Ros-

to Mckenzie. He protested his inno-
