 unlike other southern or southwest ern fields, in that it produces oil of ss fully a good grade as Pennsylva- na. They say the Standard Oil Company will make profit of s25.- 100000 within the next ten or fifteen years. The stockholders in the Trees Company are not reluctant to relin- quish their holdings. None of them was wealthy or even moderately rich before making the big strikes in Louisiana, but they staked their all on the venture and are now prepar- ing to enjoy their money. The Trees Company, it is said, will pass out of existence after the $9,OO0, ,O0O is distributed and all accounts can be closed up.

flor months, while officials of the Standard inspected the Trees holdings in Caddo parish, Louisiana. The Trees were pioneers in the Caddo fields and had bought up all the tested property which was thought to be oil-bearlng. The Producers Oil Company also has large holdings in the Caddo field, but they are slight compared to that which was turned over to the Stand ard Company.
 Joseph C. Trees of Oakmont, the principal stuckholder in the Trees Company, began to spend his fortune even before the Standard had paid for the land. At a recent banquet of the University of Pittsburg football team he, said he was so delighted with the showing of the team that he would give it a stadium equal to that of Harvard. The stadium will cost between $200,OO0 and $250,000. After making this statement Trees went on to praise the team for it's playing, for he had been a football player himself.

This latter evidence was brought out to show that Ethr:dge was not going under an assumed name here, but that he gave the check in his own name on Monticello bank. Dr. Scales said that he observed that Ethridge was of nervous disposition, but the defense brought out testimony to show that Ethridge has always been cool and collected in his demeanor.
 F. H. Walker, on whose place the Raglands lived previous to the trag- edy and for short time thereafter having moved there from George Me- Ways place, emphatically stated on the witness stand that the affivdavit produced by Senator Toney and swofh to by Doe" Ragland iu the county jail, was false.

Finds a Small Fortune.

Newark, N. j., August 20.-Her-
bert Streubel finds the job of rag
sorter at a paper mill in Whippany,
N. j., a most remunerate position.
His wages are only Sc week, but
during the past week he has cleared
$1,000 from valuables which he
found concealed among the old rags
and waste which daily passed under
his rake.
Five days ago he picked up an old
stocking which contained two dia-
monds worth $500 each. Yesterday
he came upon large sapphire and a
ruby tied up in handkerchief.
AS a result of the recent publica-
ton of the finding of precious stones
in waste rags and paper, the super
intendent of the factory has received
several letters from people who say
they have lost precious stones. A
woman, writing from New York, said
that she lost diamods valued at ST.
600, which were tied In wrapping
tissue paper.

A LAST WORD.

To the Democratic Voters OF the IND
Congressional District:
AS your Representative In Con-
gress, the Hon. j. o. Patterson, was,
through a malarial illness contracted
while aiding the distressed people OF
his district in the section almost
ruined by the overflow Of the Savan-
nah river, rendered physically unable
to address his constituents at the
campaign meetings held in his dis
trict, I think it due both to you and
this faithful public servant to say that
|if he had been able to address the peo-
pie at these campaign meetings they
would have had convincing proof OF
his ability as a worker in the ranks
of the Democratic minority, OF his
thorough equipment for the 1ntelli-
gent and effective discharge OF the
duties you have committed to him.
In the greatest of all political
schools, the congress of the United
States, there has been no more pro-
gressive student of public affairs than
James O. Patterson. His association
with the leading public men Of the
congress has broadened his powers,
strengthened his judgment, and
made him the equal in effectiveness
of any and the superior in every par
ticular of many of the favorite sons
of other and larger States. Our
State has never had a worthier rep
resentative in congress than he 1s,
and as he will continue to be as long
as honored by the ballots OF his dis
trict, fellow citizens.
say so because I know 1t to be
so, and I know it to be so because the
records of congress prove it. AS a
reader and student of the Congress
sional Record, the official journal OF
congressional proceedings, bear my
testimony to his worth and work.

Card from Congressman Patterson.

cara from congressman dtCCTSoAs
Barnwell, S. c., August %. 1910.
To the Voters of the End Congress
sional District:
have endeavored to get before you
a record of my work and efforts as
your representative in congress. 1t
is a political as well as a personal
regret to me that have been prov
identially hindered from meeting you
face to face and addressing the cam
paign meetings throughout the dis
trict; nevertheless it has been no
fault of mine. I have no charges to
prefer against my opponents nor have
I anything to conceal from my friends
and constituents.
I thank you most heartily and sim
cerely for the confidence and trust
which you have heretofore reposed
in me, and ask that you give me and
my work fair and impartial con-
sideration and reward me according
to my deserts.
With a feeling of the most pro-
found regard and love for the peo-
ple who have honored me 80 highly
and for whom I have spent the best
years of my life, the greatest desire
OF my heart is to further work for
and serve you, and II I am reelected,
as I hope to be, assure you that my
time and efforts will be devoted to
the promotion of the interests OF my
district. Faithfully your servant,
J. o. PATTERSON.

FOUR FANATICS STARVE.
Claim That Comet Was the Token of
the End of the World.

Los Angeles, August 20.-Lying on
Pallets, too weak to move, detectives
found to-day in an arroyo bungalow,
four members Of queer sect, who
were deliberately starving themselves
to death in anticipation of the end of
the world. There were two men, a
woman and a girl 16 years old. They
had not touched a morse Of food for
six weeks and for the last ten days
had not stirred from their couches on
the floor of a room that had not been
aired since the long fast began.
Last night officers forced them to
take their first nourishment-a pint
of milk divided among the four. John
Irving O'Neill, one of the four, said
he was the leader Of the sect, which
he called disciples of the Holly Ghost,
with the gift of tongues, invited the
curses of Heaven down on those who
compelled him to break the fast.
"The appearance Of the comet was
the sign of the end of the world,
he said. eve were starving because
fasting will gain US heaven and there
is no better way of getting to heaven
than starving to DEATH.
His companions, Mrs. Nellie E.
Doye, aged 40, and James E. Butler,
an old man, declared that they had
willingly entered the death fast, but
the girl, Alice Priffon, according to
the detectives, said she had been
forced to starve and that she was
quite willing to live.

Asks for Pardon.

An appeal is made to Gov. Ansel
to commute the sentence of Walter E.
Sandifer, of Bamberg, white man,
who is serving 15-years' sentence
for arson. Sandifer has been on the
Clemson College chain gang for the
last six or seven years. He was sent
up in 1902.
While at work recently the fore
part of his foot was cut off, leaving
only the stump of his heel. The acci-
dent happened in some Of the college
machinery.
The petition to commute the SEN
tence of Sandifer is indorsed by the
members Of the Clemson board OF
trustees, including B. R. Tillman. Ex-
solicitor Davis, who prosecuted the
case, writes that he has long since be-
come convinced that Sandifer entered
the store for the purpose Of robbery
and that the burning of the property
was an accident. Mr.. Davis thinks
that Sandifer has suffered sufficiently

Why Should Mr.. Patterson be Re-
turned to Congress?


Mr.. Editor: I am thoroughly con-
vinced that the Hon. J. O. Patterson
should be returned to congress by
the voters of this district:
1st. Because he is conscientious
Christian gentleman.
End. Because he has demonstrated
his fitness and competency to repre-
sent his people.
3rd. Because having done much
already, his experience as repre-
sentative and acquaintance with con-
gressional legislation will give him
the knowledge and facility that will
enable him to be of more benefit to
his country than ever before.
4th. His heart and hand are IN
his work and he clearly evinces the
progressive spirit of the times.
There is nothing to be urged
against his opponents-nothing for
or against them-only that neither
gentleman IS suffering for lack OF
honors or emolument. One is a
bank president, the other was elected
Solicitor for a term of four years at
a handsome salary, and he has served
two years-half the task the people
gave him to perform.
