The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1911-12-27
Nearly $6OO,OOO in Rent.

Visitors to Washington sometimes
wonder how the government OF the
United States manages to make use
of all the handsome buildings that
are to be found here. AS a matter of
fact, use is made of them, and in ad-
dition the various bureaus of the
government service which are operat-
ing in rented quarters are eXpending
annually rentals OF nearly $GOO,O 900
At per cent. which is a good rate
of interest in Washington, the capital
invested in the property so rented by
the government would be worth $lO,-
100000. AS matter of fact, it is
highly improbable that its real value
with reach one-fifth that figure. In
other words, the government is prob
ably paying each year as rent in
Washington something like one-third
of the value of the property rented,
and has been doing so for years
This is the sort of sightseeing
that Mr. Johnson is doing. He eX-
poets to know what rents are to be
paid, and whether or not the esti-
mates made for such rents are rea-
sonable. He does not believe that
Washington property exists for the
purpose Of earning big rentals at the
expense of the rest of the country

While in the east Mr.. Newhouse
financed the project and as soon as

on the building has been completed for
more than year. during which time

Torrid Climate Occasions Late
Rush for Summer Raiment
and Vacation Supplies.
LITTLE INTEREST is SHOWN
In FALL AND WINTER GOODS
Proprietors and Buyers for
Large Stores Are Making
Purchases.

The unprecedented heat Of the past
week has given late season impetus
to the trading in summer goods Re
tail merchants report that their summer
stocks are being depleted rapidly as a
result of the heat. This is especially
true Of wearing apparel. Trading In
summer apparel during the past week
rivaled that of the early season, sge'
cial sales of summer goods were de-
cidedly popular with the buying public
BY the same token, the public is
little interested in the early showing
Of fall and winter goods. However,
the merchants are evidencing little
concern over the disinterest of the pub
lie in warmer raiment, prcferring to
dispose of the summer goods before IN
teresting the public IN fall and winter
showipgs.
While the summer has been rather
a quiet one for all lines of business
| the merchants see with the early fall q
revival of business that will betok en-
good winter business. The build
| ing activity scheduled for this fall will
undoubtedly have its effect on all lines
of business as it will furnish employ
| ment. for thousands.
| Merchants report that collections are
better and that a better feeling with
reference to financial conditions j:
prevalent The looser money market
of the east is being reflected in Salt
Lake, The only handicap TO greater
business activity is the present warn
weather. Cooler weather will brinl
with it n greater optimism and an en-
ergy that will have its effect on bust
ness conditions.
The warm weather gives to the busi
ness q vacation tendency to inertia
Those who are on their vacations al
present are extending them to place
the limit beyond the heated period, anc
many who are In town nre planning q

cooler weather comes. As result, tht
marked business activity Of the pas
week has been only to be found will
the dealer in summer raimeut, th'
keeper Of fishing tackle and the sods

been light.

Baldheaded Men
Ignorance of the Hair Causes
Much Badness Among Men

Early piety doesn't cause badness, neither
does any kind of piety Some baldheaded men
console themselves with the idea that badness
is caused by q superabundance OF gray brain
matter, and would have the world believe that q
bald bead is sign Of great intellect.
Such. however is not the case. Ninety-nine
times in one hundred badness is caused by
dandrun germs, which dig down deep into the
roots Of the hair, destroy its vitality and cause
it to fall out.
All this may come gradually and take time.
but as an up-tO-date humorist would say,
what's time to a dandruh germT'
II you have dandruf, the little invisible. per-
sistent devils called dandruf germs are at work.
Destroy them at once. or sooner or later they
will cause your hair fall out and you will
be compelled to take your place in the bald
headed class.
In France bald heads few because men
understand how for the hair. Partisan
Sage is hair grower and invigorator that is
guaranteed by Henry Evans and James O'Don-
nell to grow hair IL the hair root is not already

Card Case Reveals Identity.

Mr.. Morton's identity was not known
at the time, but DIR. Pearson, realizing
that the man was dying, instructed Man
ager Hall to call another physician, and
DR.. c. c. Barrows responded. The two
physicians did what they could, but were
unable to revive the dying man.
After half an hour it was decided to
examine his effects to learn his identity.
His card case revealed this.
DIR. Isaac Adler, the family physician of
the Mortons, was then called in, and
later the Morton home was notified by
telephone. Mrs. Morton and Jay Morton,
the brother, hastened to the hotel, but
arrived after Mr.. Morton's death, an hour
and half after he was stricken.
In the meantime there was intense ex-
element In the hotel. Word soon spread
that Mr.. Morton had been taken i'll OH
the fifth floor and was probably dying.
In the dining room We're several dozen
men and women. who upon learning that
a man of such prominence was dying in
an upper room crowded about the hotel
desk asking for information. Manager
Hall and his assistants turned them away
with the statement that Mr.. Morton's s
illness was not serious and that he would
be all right in few minutes.
Unconscious Until Death.
Mr.. Morton died at $50 o'clock without
having recovered consciousness. Coroner

Israel L. Feinberg came to the hotel and
was Joined there by Coroner's Physician
q r1hySfcians

Israel L. Feinberg came to the hotel and
was Joined there by Coroner's Physician
O'Hanlon. After questioning the ply sicians
who had been in attendance. and after
learning all he could from the hotel at
tendants, Coroner Feinberg announced
that Mr. Morton's death was caused from
arterio-scerosis, or hardening OF the ar.
teries, which had caused an lncreased
blood pressure, resulting in the sudden
bursting of a blood vessel In the brain.
Coroner Feinberg was at first INFORMED
that Mr.. Morton had gone to the hotel TO
meet Mr. Herman by appointment. But
he said later that this was a mistake.
.Dr. Adler had been treating MI Nor
ton for arterial trouble and also TOT an
affection OF the kidneys" said Coroner
Feiuberg. 1t was this condltion that
brought on the hemorrhage or the Draln.
From all I can learn there was no one
with Mr.. Morton when he was stricken.
Every one who is in q position to know
saws that he left the elevator without
saving what room he was to visit, and
that it was not until after he had fallen
upon the floor near the elevator Shaft
that a maid on the fifth fioor found him
and thought that he had tainted.
IT was told at first that Mr.. Herman.
the lawyer, had been Ill in room is, to
which Mr.. Morton was taken. but that
he had been removed to another room q
few hours before. This, however. proved
to be a mistake, for I was Informed later
that Mr.. Kiernan gave up the room at
g O'Clock in the afternoon and left the
hotel"
