tion Is pathetic story of failures in
both politics and craftsmanship. Mr..
Taft has seemed incapable of steering
his politics in the course Of wisdom,
and unwilling to support the progress
sive measures which the country ex-
Ipected from him. Congenital incapac-
ity for practical politics might explain
the failure to keep his party in hand;
but only more unkindly explanation
can account for his apparent purpose
to repudiate the men and policies to
which his platform pledged him.
"As result of Mr.. Taft's failure,
there is struggle for control of the
republican party. At the same time,
the torn and divided party faces a
democratic opposition which needs
hardly do more than permit itself to
become the beneficiary of republican
misfortunes. 1t geems scarcely pos
|sihle that even democracys facility
for doing the wrong thing can prevail
against the fates which seem deter
mined to recall it to responsible
participation in the national govern
ment a democratic victory, however,
will be no testimonial of confidence
emphasize the reputation of Tafts
leadership.
Meanwhile the country, determin-
ed to be progressive and yet finding
itself without a progressive party, is
embroiled in the effort to produce one.
1t long ago lost confidence in the ca
pacity of democracy; it is fast losing
confidence in the intentions of old
line republicanism. 1t wants new
party, which it can trust; and the tur-
moil, the factional controversies, the
intensity of discussion, the bitterness
of contests within both the old parties
are the signs that a new party is be-
ing born"

HICKMAN MURDER MYSTERY
AT AUGUSTA DEEPENs
BY Associated Press.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 3.-The murder
of DR.. Charles w. Hickman last night
continues a deep mystery. There is
not the slightest clue the police con-
slider worth anything, though there is
a strong sentiment among the Off
Gals that the crime was what they
denominate negro killing" A close
search into the murdered mans af-
fairs showed an utter absence Of any
motive except robbery, but the city
police say they are not prepared to
accept that theory. The village mar
shal-the crime occurred in suburb
-clings to the robbery motive. The
second person known to have reached
the corpse is positive that DR.. Hick-
mans watch fob was hanging out OF
his pocket and says he saw no evil
dence of robbery. The family state
ment Is that the pockets had been
rified Numerous letters found some
distance from the corpse are held by
the police. The inquest Will be held
this afternoon.

Of handsomely bound copy Of THE

Floridians will read with peculiar
interest this excellent story, the au-
thor being a native of this state. Be-
sides this new book, Mr.. Philips Is
author of two others, which became
quite popular in this state, as well as
throughout the country. Previous
books from the facile pen of this au-
thor are 1.-THE Florida Wilds" and "A

be said that in 1.-THE Romance Of the
Ten Thousand Islands the author has
exceeded all former efforts at story
telling. -.ra.
The author says of his new book:
''It is founded on fact. Historic
references are sustained by authentic
records. Descriptions of the physical
features and surroundings of the
islands-their trees, their mounds, the
ancient relics, etc, can be verified by
investigation at the present day, max
ing allowance for the changes Incl
dent to time. Two Of the leading
characters are real. The name Of the
great pirate chieftain, Gasparilla,
even now sends a shudder through the
the islands and passes that bear it,
the dreaded name will live to the end
of time. Gomez (the name now cor
rupted to "Gomas" in the fslands) Is
familiar in the memory Of many pres
ent inhabitants, and 1t is true that he
did impart his real character and
such of his history as he would, to this
young hunter referred to in the story
short time before he died. It is
also true that this hunter recited that
story to the author"

Break IN STOCK MARKET
BY Associated Press.

New York, Feb. 3.-There was a
renewal of heavy liquidation in the
stock market today and this, coupled
with an attack on the market by an

hour efforts at sustaining prices were
made, centering on United States
Steel and enoromus quantities of that
stock were taken in the neighborhood
of so. When the stock broke that
price, floods of liquidation came on
the market for all the principal
stocks. United States Steel itself sold
down to IS 10. The decline in Union

NOW, WHAT'S THE USE
TRYING TO GET A CURE BY THE use OF DEADLY OPlATES?

Since the wonderful Quaker Herb
Extract was first introduced here,
some Ia weeks ago, many people,
some of them sound, healthy persons
not needing medicine. have asked the
Health Teacher repeatedly what caus-
ed this famous remedy to completely
Danish disease and its cause from the
system Some said they even be-
lieved there was a possibility of the
cures being made by a superhuman or
invisible power, which might be con-
trolled by the Health Teacher. In re-
gard to this, the Health Teacher says:
"Such ideas are preposterous; I am
not responsible for any of the cures.
It's the medicine-not the man. The
reason SO many people seemed sur
prised at the results of these RENE
dies is very plain to me. It's because
they are not used to seeing any such
cures. They have jumped around from
one medicine to another, trying one
here, sampling another there, with
sometimes a bit of temporary relief,
but never a cure. Why? Because
they were using remedies with OPT
ates of one sort or other in their
formula - morphine, quicksilver,
opium, chloroform, etc. Such things
naturally will give quick result,
forcing the organs, exhilarating the
nevres-in short, making you think

you were harming your system, and

harsh treatment, leaving you just
where you were before you start
ed. Now, you who have been caught
that way, listen to me closely. There
is not one atom or grain of any kind
of mineral or chemical poison in the
Quaker Remedies. That's why they
cure disease-because they work slow
ly, mildly, never harshly, gradually
Kidding the entire system of the
germs that are the origin of the trou-
BILE, building you up and completely
curing you. Don't that sound reason
able? It's the truth, too. Prove it
yourself by coming to see and talk
with me. I am glad to tell anyone
what this remarkable medicine will
do for sufferers of catarrh, kidney
troubles, stomach, liver and blood
troubles, rheumatism or worms of any
kind"

ORIGIN OF THE
NAVY SCANDAL
ALLEGED THAT YOUNG LADY,
PROMINENT IN SOCIETY,", WAS
CAUSE OF ASSAULT UPON DR..
coWLEs.

Regarding the navy scandal, which
has resulted in the trial by court mar
tial of Paymaster and DR.. Robnett, the
Atlanta Journal of recent date con-
tanned the following:
The Atlanta Journal of recent date
contained the following:
The engagement of Harry D. Storer,
a we'll known young Albanian, to Miss
Madeline G. Swift, daughter Of Rear
Admiral Swift, which was broken
on the eve Of the wedding, has led in
directly SO 1t Is alleged, to one Of the
biggest social scandals which has
stirred high naval circles in many
years, and has resulted in the trial
by courtmartial Of Paymaster George
Percival Aud, of the Charleston
navy yard, on charges Of grave
nature, including disrespect to a SUI
pertor officer, insult, assault, and con-
duct unbecoming q gentleman.
It is charged that Rear Admiral
Swift tried to suppress the whole mat
ter because of the friendship of his
daughter, Madeline, for Aud.
Harry D. Storer, who holds a respon.
sible position with the Westinghouse
Machine Company, in Atlanta, and who
is well liked here, became acquainted
with Rear Admiral Swift's family so
cially some time ago, and became en-
gagged to the naval officers daughter.
The engagement was duly announced,
and Mr.. Storer went north, the mar.
riage being fixed to take place the lat.
ter part of the year.
On the very eve of the wedding,
Storer's friends here were surprised to
read in the newspapers a telegraphic
item to the effect that the match had
been called off. Rear Admiral Swift
then issued a statement that the mar
rage had simply been postponed be.
cause of his daughters illness, but ii
was nevertheless general understood
that the illness was only pretext for
breaking the engagement.
What Gossip Said.
Gossip in naval circles had it that
Paymaster Aud was a sutton for the
hand of Miss Swift, that she repented
giving her hand to Auld's Atlanta
rival, and that Auld's influence was
responsible for breaking the engage
ment
This gossip, It seems, came to Auld's
ears, and with it a story that DR.. Ed.
ward Spencer Cowles, cousin OF Rear
Admiral Cowles, had been spreading
the gossip, charging Aud with causing
the engagement to be broken, and had
said things uncomplimentary of Aud
in connection Herewith.
Aud met Cowles at a dance, it Is
said, given by Mr.. Howard E. Ames,
medical inspector of the United States
navy, and, it Is said, insulted Cowies
grossly, telling him he was not wanted
at the dance, and ordering him out OF
the house DR.. Cowles, reporting the
affair, tells the rest of the incident as
follows:
Fought at Dance.
After my wife and / had been re-
ceived and made some engagement for
