Proof Reader will Retire to Country.

From every part of the east reports
come of men who are answering the
irresistible call of the West. Perhaps
no more interesting case can be found
than that depicted below in an editor
ial of Golfers Weekly:
Mr.. White has left US. When we
missed him the other day they told us
he had to leave hurriedly because the
Government Unexpectedly required him
to enter at once upon his homestead
claim in Washington State, and 50 he
started across the continent with only
twelve hours notice. He had been
with Golfers for twenty-six years, all
that time as proof-reader, and head
proof-reader for the last ten. Heaven
only knows how many errors of ours he
caught. When we wrote "woollen, 4"
he wrote on the margin of the proof,
STANDARD Dictionary spells with one
Il. - If we wrote Saturday, July A,
l776,' the proof would come back with
a penciled observation, July 4, 1776,
was Thursday" Long devotion to the
business of being strictly accurate had
developed in him a gentle but deter
mined opposition to our occasional
lapses from .literalness. To be sure,
he was not infallible. We blush even
yet when we think of that old Collier
edition of Browning in which these
two lines are supposed to rime:
Lest you should think he never
could recapture
That first fine careless rupture"

room and bending close over

Eczema Cure A Beauty Wash.

Although D. D. D. Prescription has
been recognized for years as the one
remedy for Eczema, Psoriasis, and all
other forms of skin diseases, it is now
known that there is no other wash,
even those used by the beauty special
lists, that can compare with this mild
liquid for cleaning the skin of pimples,
blackheads, rash, and all similar skin
affections.
For this reason alone, a bottle of D.
D. d. should be kept on hand in every
household. A trial 25c bottle will show
you the merits of this great remedy as
a complexion wash.
ID. d, D. seems to remove the cause,
whatever the trouble may be, cleans
ing the skin, and leaving it as soft, as
smooth and clear as that of a healthy
child.
Get a 25c. bottle today and keep it
in the house. KEN & Cass.

publication of libel it published
retraction and apology.
However, the governor said,

There will be an exhibit of long
staple cotton of all varieties up to
one and three-fourthS inches.
The department will next year
prosecute vigorous campaign to
interest the farmers in the growth
OF the long staple cotton. Results
have already been secured.
Lewis w. Parker, head of the
100000 cotton manufa curing
company, is very much interested in
the production of the long staple
cotton. He has opened a market
Tor the cotton in this State. Mr..
Parker has sent out the following
to the farmers of South Carolina:
I'VE wish to advise you that we
use at several of the mills in
which We are interested staple cot

De glad to get into communication
with you with view of purchasing
your crop of same.
Our plan is to buy this cotton
direct from the farmer where practi-
cable, and we suggest that if one or
more of you will get together in
any community 25 or more bales,
We will send our expert staplers,
who will examine your cotton on
the spot and make full market Of
fers therefor: but if it be not
practicable for you to congregate
your cotton, as thus suggested, we
would advise that you ship your
cotton to the Standard Warehouse
company, at either Greenville or
Columbia, advising us of shipment,
and we will have our stapplers to
examine the same and make you full
market offers therefor.
I'VE further suggest that if prac-
ticable you have all staple cotton
ginned on roller gin in order to
avoid cutting or mapping the staple.
This will likewise add to the
length of the staple, and correspond
1ngly to its value and price, but II
1t be not convenient for you to use
the saw gin, we advise that you
watch the roll closely and have the
speed regulated so as not to cut
the staple. Run the gin slowly.
whether you use saw or roller
gin we would urge that you see that
the gin is regulated so as not to
cut the staple.
I'VE shall be glad to cooperate
with you in every way possible in
the preparation of your staple for
the market, in order to secure you
the best possible results 1t is all
important that long staple cotton
should be handled and ginned with
the greatest care in order that you
may compete with the Mississippi
sections and secure the prices paid
them
IF we can be of any service to
you we shall gladly assist you and
give you information upon request.
Parties in the eastern part of
the State will find it to their ad-
vantage to communicate with j. l..

BANKER MUST SERVE TERM
Morse Lcses Another Fight for Re-
lease From jail.

Atlanta. Ga.-Charles W. Morse,
the New York banker. serving a
term in the Federal prison here for
violating the national banking laws,
failed in his effort to obtain his re-
lease on writ of habeas corpus.
Without passing upon the validity
of that portion Of Morse's sentence of
Is years beyond 10 years, District
Judge Newman denied the petition
for writ declaring that ten years of
the sentence unquestionably was
good, and as Morse had not served
out that time the court had no right
now to enter further in the matter.
Morse's attorneys filed notice of
an appeal TO the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals of the fifth
circuit.
Judge Newman said that he had
no doubt of the legality of Morse's
confinement in the Atlanta prison,
although it had been erected for
hard labor" convicts. He said
Morse might be able to obtain a
transfer TO another prison by appli-
cation TO the attorney general, but
he believed conditions here were
probably as good, at least, as would
be found in prison elsewhere.

.-QRIMER CASE
INVESTIGATION
lntimation That Prosecution
May Follow.
L0RIMER PUT UP TO TAFT.
Cow I'd Hines, the Chicago Lumber
man, Alleged to Have Collect
ed the 100000 S ush
Fund, on thu Sand.

Washington. = Intimation that
prosecution of certain witnesses for
perjury would grow out of the Sem
ate investigation of the election of
Senator Lorimer was forthcoming
Thursday during the examination Of
Edward Hines, the Chicago million
aire lumber man, whose name is
connected with the alleged 500, 900
fund collected to elect Mr.. Lorimer.
Mr. Hines fatty contradicted many
statements Of previous witnesses,
and the situation aroused Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa
Now there ought to be some
prosecutions for perjury right here"
he exclaimed. He did not indicate
whom he would have indicted, but
his remark created a profound i'm
preston.
Mr.. Hines first testimony that at
tracted deep interest was his detail
ed account Of how he said President
Taft, former Senator Aldrich and
Senator Penrose had him exert his
influence to have Mr.. Lorimer elected
to the Senate.
Mr.. Hines then detailed in its en-
tirety the testimony of Clarence S.
Funk, general manager of the In
ternational Harvester Company, re-
garding the conversation the two
men had at the Union League Club,
in Chicago, shortly after Mr.. Lori
mer's election. Mr.. Funk had testi-
fed that Mr.. Hines asked him on
that occasion for a $4,000 contri-
button to a 100000 Lorimer cam
paign fund. Mr.. Hines testified that
Mr.. Funk asked for an introduction
TO the new senator, and for the privi-
lege of contributing to his election
expenses.
Mr.. Hines added that when he
mentioned the proposed introduction
Mr.. Lorimer objected, because he re-
garded Mr.. Funk as one of his active
enemies. When the Senator explain
ed to Mr.. Hines that he had no cleo
ton expenses to defray, Mr.. Hines
said he decided not to mention Mr..
Funk's offer
Subsequently, he said, Mr. Funk
expressed disappointment over the
outcome of his conversation with Mr..
Hines. but continued very cordial,
even asking Mr.. Hines to get him a
seat in the Senate gallery here last
Attn of March, and to introduce Mrs.
Funk to Mrs. Hines on one occasion
last spring.
Mr.. Hines also contradicted in toto
the testimony given by Writ H. Cook,
of Duluth, MINI.
During the day Mr.. Hines put into
the record copies of all the kilograms
which had been sent to him by Sem
ator Lorimer since the latter's cleo
ton, with the exception of one. which
he declared he never received. He
told the committee that all his per-
sonal checks and those of the COM
panies with which he was connected
were open to its inspection.

fight, had unintentionally collided

The bird, Infatuated, fastened its
talons in Cruzan's face and began a

COMMISSION PLAN FAILS

Voters---"Let Trenton

Hoboken, y. J.-Hoboken decided
by a large majority OF votes Tues
day that it does not want commits
sion government.
The total vote polled, with one dis
trict of 200 votes missing, was 1922,
OF which commission government re-
ceived 2,766, giving its opponents a
majority of 1850. Under the
Walsh act it was necessary for the
commission government advocates TO
poll 2,S35, or 80 per cent. of the
total vote cast for members of cleo
ton last fall, which they failed to do.
The campaign for the adoption OF
the Walsh act was q vigorous one.
For a week mass-meetings were held
every night, and one OF them was
addressed by Governor Wilson. The
commission government advocates
also circulated much literature
throughout the city.
The adoption of the act was OPP
posed by the Democratic and Re-
publican organizations, the Police
and Fire Departments and every
ofice-holder in the city. To many it
looked ludicrous to see the TWO here
tofore bitterly antagonistic organiza-
lions working together hand-in-hand
for a common cause.
The opponents to the commission
form OF government did not hold any
meetings or circulate any literature,
but early in the game they began a
still hunt which, as the result shows,
proved very effective.
