MAN CHARGED WITH STEALING
ovERALLs CONVICTED YEsTER-
DAY-DAsHER 70 JAIL.

After short deliberation yester-
day afternoon, the Jury in the case OF
state VS. Charles Neff returned verdict
of guilty about O'clock. Judgment
will be passed on Neff Friday morn
ing. The crime for which Men was
convicted was entering and taking
from the factory Of the American
Mining Tool Co., near the Burlington
yards, quantity OF overalls. The
testimony was concluded by noon
yesterday and the arguments COM
pleted by 8 o'clock.
Frank Dashler charged with larceny
from building, having entered the
Field jewelry store at 100 West Main
street some three months, ago and took
a quantity of trinkets, changed his plea
Ito that of guilty and this morning re-
-ceived his Judgment by the court He
was given short lecture on
the evils OF intoxication and too FREE
.quent taking Of liquor and the court
stated to him that upon the statement
of the county attorney to the effect that
the entire amount OF the goods stolen
was less than $50 In value, a jail SEN
tence would be given him. The court
Llen OTQeTeu -tudl ,lAe pliSoA0A Oo
placed in the county jail at hard labor
for thirty days and that fine OF 5000
be imposed upon him. The fine, how
ever, Is to be paid In the discretion
Of the county attorney and is largely
intended as means Of keeping the
prisoner in good behavior and free
from drunkenness. The court told
Dashler that he purposely reduced the
Jail sentence because the prisoner
had already served some two months
and half since the crime was COM
mitted.
The court then took up the prepar-
alton for the hearing Of the bootlegging
case against Andy CHANNEL who is
charged with violating the liquor laws
at Eldon and was indicted by the
grand jury a short time ago.

Miss Turner's Recital.

Miss I. Madge Turner gave her
graduating recital in music Friday
evening. In her faultless rendition
of several difficult selections from
the old masters, she revealed a very
high order of musical talent which
has been developed to an unusual
degree by her persistent toll through
the years since her childhood. In
her relation to the S. G. @. l. Miss
Madge occupies unique and very
enviabIe position, holding three di-
plomas, representing the literary,
vocal and instrumental music de-
partments. Col. Bailey in announc-
ing that this is the first time in the
history of the institution that a
young lady had won three diplomas
commended Miss Madge for her
diligence and faithfulness. as stu
dent since matriculating.
Variety was given to the program
by exceedingly we'll rendered reci-
tations by Miss Florence Peak and
Miss Gladys Rives. When the
names of these two bright lasses ap-
pear upon progrom the audience
always knows that treat is in
store.

Graded School Commencement.

The closing exercises of the grad
ed school held in the S. G. G. L.
auditorium last evening were up to
the high standard of former years.
And, just as everyone expected, the
large auditorium was literally
packed with people who long ago
learned that the little folks under
stand and practice the art of enter
tanning to a degree that can put not
a few of their seniors to shame.
The songs, recitations, marches,
drills and plays were all we'll rem
dered, the Lilliputian wedding be-
ing particularly amusing. As it
is Wednesday morning and our
forms must be closed and the paper
printed in a short time, we cannot
refer to each of the little folks in
detail, as they really deserve, but
elsewhere in this issue will be found
the program of the evenings exer.
cises.
After the lower grades had COM
pleted their part, the graduating
exercises were held, the trustees OF
the graded school, A. S. Tomkins,
A. E. Padgett and J. T. McManus,
being seated on the rostrum with
the superintendent and principal,
Col. F. N. X. Bailey and Miss Min
ME Dicks, and the ten graduates.
Tie class will was read by Miss
Gladys Padgett and the class his
tory was read by Miss Leila Roper.
Both of these papers were striking
ly original and reflected careful
preparation. The grafton was de-
livered by Master Wayne Darling
ton who possesses decided gifts in the
art of declaiming.
After the certificates were pre-
sented, Mr.. A. E. Padgett made a
detailed report of the finances of
the school, showing how economi-
cally 1T has been conducted during
the session of eight months. Mr..
Padgett thanked Col. F. N. K.
Bailey on the part Of the board 81
trustees for faithful services rem
dered in experimenting the graded
school, for which he has never re-
ceived dollar by way of compen-
sation.
The school has been taught by q
corps of seven efficient, thorough,
painstaking lady teachers. So sat
isfactory have been their services Of
these ladies that it is regretted that
all of them can not be engaged fol
the next session.

When Democracy Will Due.

When the lion eats grass like an OK
And the fishworm swallows the whale,
When the terrapin knits wool socks
And the hare is outrun by the snail,
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodle bugs travel like frogs,
When the grasshopper feeds on the hen
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air
And elephants roost upon trees,
When insects in summer are rare
And snuff never makes people sneeze,
When the fish creep over dry land
And mules on velocipedes ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand
And women in dress takes no pride
When Dutchm en- no longer drink beer,
And girls get to preaching on time,
When the billygoat butts from the rear
And treason no longer is crime.
When the humming bird brays like an
ass,
And limburger cheese smells like CO.
logne,
When ploughshares are made out of
glass
And hearts of Kentuckians are stone,
When sense grows in republican heads
And wool on the hydraulic ram,
Then the democratic party will be dead
And this country not worth a d-m.

Work For County Fair Begun.

The stockholders and directors Of
the county fair association held a
meeting in the court house Monday.
The following officers were re-elect-
ed to serve for another year: J. R.
Cantelou, president; J. L. Minis,
v,ce-president; L. w. Cheatham,
secretary; DR.. J. G. Tompkins,
treasurer, and B. B. Jones, mana.
ger. Mr.. Jones was given the power
to appoint all assistant manager.
The following directors were

w. E. Prescott, A. E. Padgett und
]. R. Tompkins.
The outlook for the fair this fall
is very bright. We have attended
practically all of the meetings held
within the past three years, and re-
gard that OF Monday as the most
encouraging meeting the members
of the association have ever held.

Every Shoulder to the Wheel.

To the end that the fair next fall
shall be the best yet held, the members
of the county fair association met Mon
day and began actual work for the
fair. The officers of the association
and the men who are in direct charge
of the management are greatly en-
couraged and enthused over the out
look for thefair of 1911. The grounds
are better improved and better equip
ped than heretofore and it is believed
that the people generally will take
more interest in the fair next fall than
they have done in the past. Let it be
known once for all that the county fair,
although pronounced a success in the
past, can never be the success that it
should be until the farmers themselves
give.it fuller support. 1t is primarily
and essentially an agricultural fair,
organized for the avowed and specific
purpose of developing the agricultural
interests of the county, yet unfortu-
nately for some reason but few far
mers have heretofore taken an active
interest in the fair. However, we
have good reason to believe that such
will notbe the case in the future.
If what has been accomplishment in the
past can be done with the support of
only few farmers, think of what are
the vast possibilities of success with
the support and cooperation of hum
dreds of representative farmers.
We appeal to tn, farmers being
tempted to call half hundred by
name-to put their skoul lers to the
wheel and let's make the fair of 1911
the best-very best-county fair held
in the state. Il can be done.

Institutes VIII Not be Neglected.

Editor The Advertiser: While
we are going to spend good deal
of time this summer in operating
our live stock train, yet we know
that there will be a great many sec
tions through which 1--WE will not be
able to carry the gospel for improv-
ed agriculture in this way. We
therefore have no idea of neglect
ing the regular farmers institutes
and it will facilitate my work very
materially if sections desiring these
institutes will make their applica-
ton as promptly as possible. 1 will
appreciate it if you will bring this
to the attention of your readers.

Modoc Missionary Society.

As we have some two or three
different correspondents from our
town, will not interfere as only
want to say a few words in behalf
of our ladies' missionary work in
our community. We had on the
9th very interesting meeting at
Mrs. J. o. MarshalI's for the pur-
pose of organizing mission study
class which would be beneficial not
only to our society but to all
who may take part in it, and most
especially all who do not believe in
such work. I wish that all could
have been present and heard the talk
Mrs. Sales from Clark's Hill gave
us on mission work. Mr.. Sales also
enlightened Us very much on differ
ent subjects. We all enjoyed the
meeting and after it was over re-
freshments were served. I am sure,
Notwithstanding Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
shall's baby was quite sick, we all
enjoyed their hospitality. Mrs. Mar
shall is always ready to do all she
can for the benefit of her church
and Saviour. Their baby has been
quite sick for ten days and is very
sick yet. The good people of Modoc
who all are always ready to lend a
helping hand have been kind to
offer every assistance. They have a
trained nurse now to assist them
and we hope to see change for
better. We all extend our deepest
sympathy to the anxious parents for
their little one.
l will not take up all the news as
/ said my subject was only on mis-
sion work this week. We want to get
up our mission study class at our
earliest convenience and want all,
old and young, men and boys, to
join us. We are also glad to say
we organized a young peoples un-
ion on last Sunday night at our
church. There are a number of
young people in our community
and we hope they will take an inter-
est and see who can be the most
help in all such work. Sunshine.

HANDICAPPED.
This lis The Case With Many
Edgefield People.

Too many Edgefeld citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant
misery, making work a burden and
STOPPING or lifting an impossibility.
The back aches at night, preventing
refreshing rest and in the morniug
is stiff and lame. Plasters, and lini-
ment may give relief but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate the
pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's kidney pills are for sick
kidneys thousands testify to their
merit. Can you doubt Edgefeld
evidence?
Mrs. V 9 Addison, Edgefeld, s.
c., says: Last year 1 had an at
tack Of kidney complaint. When
ever 1 caught cold it settled in my
kidneys and caused pain and lame
ness all through my back. / often
found it almost impossible to stoop
and I lost much sleep at night,
owing to pains and other kidney
disorders. Finally, Doan's kidney
pills were recommended to me and
I began using them. They did me a
world of good, driving away the
backache and improving my health.
Of late l have again used Doan's
kidney pills to great advantage. l

Blocks Wheels of Justice.

While money makes the mare go, il
also blocks the wheels of justice. But
for his wealth, w. T. Jones, the Union
wife murderer, would have been hang
ed or consigned to the penitentiary two
or three years ago. Had he been ne
gro or poor white man the sentence
would have been enforced so long ago
that the pnblic would practically have
forgotten the details of the heinous
crime, which he committed, yet Jones
sits quietly in jail making, through ais
lawyers, appeal after appeal in the
hope that he may yet evade the stripes.
Gov. B,ease did right in refusing to
pardon Jones.
