it on, and one end longer and pointed

of flannel are sewed to this waist with

mark the edge of facing on each side

Book Chat.

One OF the remarkable episodes in
'sMarion Harland's Autobiography. =
Just published by the Harpers is con-
nected with her first novel. Even then
Marion Harland seemed to have g
strong hold on the affections of her
readers. The book was published In
1886 at her fathers expense. Three
months after its appearance she re-
ceived a curious letter from a man
named James Redpath. who wrote:
II detest both your politics and your
theology. All the same, you will make
your mark on the age. In the full per-
suasion of this write to pledge myself
to do all in my power to forward your
literary interests. You will hear from
me again."
And she did. Not week passed
without bringing clipping from some
paper-now in Baltimore, now i'm New
Orleans. Cincinnati. Buffalo, Boston or
observation-disclosures calling attention to
the novel and it's rising Southern au-
thor. Once she had letter from her
daun.less knight when he thought he
might be killed next day in fight out
in bleeding Kansas" but after a 81
gan again.
Five years later Redpath wrote and
explained that he had gone to a ceme-
terry at Richmond one day with q pis-
tol and her new novel in his pocket
fully determined to end his life. Some
thing in the novel changed his purpose
and he registered vow "to write and
publish one thousand notices of the
book which had saved his life" And
he did.
Albert Bigelow Paine's new book of
travel. 1.-The Shp-Dwellers," owes some
of it's fascination to the fact that it had
its origin in dream "a dream inspired
by Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad. :"
which the author read as boy. When
he grew up and knew that such voy-
ages were really possible he made a
point of having the dream come true.
His record of impressions and expert
ences in Mediterranean lands is perva-
ded by splendid sense of adventure.
1t is full of that contented anticipation
Of novelty which makes the traveller
feel happy and free. New scenes UNI
roll in a perpetual pageant, and the
reader feels that under these circum-
stances life is worth living. Among
the places visited are Algiers, Malta,
Madeira, Egypt, the Holy Land, Italy,
and Greece. Each city and country is
shown to us in delightful glimpses and
vistas; there is strict avoidance both
of microscopic detail and ambitious
wofd-p painting. The aim of the book is
not primarily humorous, yet the author
never misses a humorous aspect. and
he is keen observer The reader con-
t1nually comes across such startling
discoveries as the two signs in Genoa

ODOM HAD PLANNED
THE DEATH OF FIVE FARMERS

Odom was bent on snuffing out his life.
In the last two instances he failed by

of every person who knew anything

G. II. Odom, Familiarity known as
Darby Odom. is a brother of the pris-
oner. He is a prominent cattle raiser
and considered well-to-do. In discussing
the tragedy with Publishers Press cor

crime to his brother becoming suddenly

wrong at his home. Showing past her
without other words, he made for young
Gartman, who was drawing water at a
well in the yard. Raising the double
barreed gun, Odom pulled the trigger
Leaving the Gartman premises, Odom
passed on to the home of Stokes, where he
snuffed out his life. Returning to Cart
mans the second time, Odom found the

her dead son.

INDIAN RELICS FOUND
Calhoun Countrywide Scarcity of
Labor Is Farmers Handicap.
Probate Judge Dies

Admission, March Especially in
terest is manifested in the meeting of the
board OF Calhoun county road and reve-
nue. commissioners Monday. as it is UNI
derstood that they will during this session
name the successor to the late Henry B.
Glover. county treasurer. for which there
are large number of applicants.
1T WAS announced by Chairman Hanna
that the appointment would be made at
this meeting of the board. AS Mr..
Glovers death came Just IA days ago it
was decided not to call a special meeting
OF the board for this purpose Yet. ii is
rumored now that the appointment may
not be made until the April session, due
to the fact that some of the commissioners
are running for reelection and fear that
an appointment at this time would cripple
their cause, 1t is said, as they would lose
the influence of the disappointed appli-
cants.
And it is for this very reason, the con-
nection of the office with politics, that NJ.
B. Welborn favors its abolition at this
time. The place pays 1920 a year, and
Mr.. Wellborn, who is a great road build
liS tiltnuSidSl says tHdl iiie DduhS can
do the work connected with the office
with equal satisfaction and at the same
time save 1920 annually for the public
highways.
1t is said that Dallas, Green and other
counties lave abolished this office, AMI
the suggestion by Commissioner Wellborn
that Calhoun follow suit has met with no
small degree of favor. SO 1t is not consd
cred at all probable that if Mr.. Glover's
successor is appointed at this session of
the board 1t will be with the understand
if.g that he is merely to serve the unex
pired term of his predecessor and that
pressure will be brought to bear on the
county representatives in the legislature

yiding for the abolition of the office.
