HOPEFUL DEMOCRATIC PROS.
Poets.

Poets.
After the sweeping democratic VIC
tories last fall, real democrats every
where recognized the fact that
the victo 'es ve- valueless unless
the newl. aisNss democratic legis-
latures selected real democrats to
succeed the old trust fostering guard,
which the people had repudiated.
Speaking upoon this subject we
said, in the. sisue OF this paper of
November 23rd, 1910:
II the democratic victories of the
present year are to be followed by
further victories, which willg i've the
party complete control of the nation
al government, the democratic legis-
latures ii tbs ssv raj states, where
the party SeH S,ss pected victories at
the recent elections, must demon
strate the party's fitness for COM
plete control by the character of the
new senators which they elect.
The people of Ohio did not repu-
diate Senator Dick, to have him re-
placed by John R.McLean, of Wash
ington, D. G. Nor did the people of
Montana throw down Senator Carter,
In order to turn up millionaire Clarke
of Fifth Ave-, New York. And the
people Of the entire country, as, we'll
as the people Of New York, would de
nounce the selection Of Mr.. Sheehan
to succeed Senator Depew. Mclean,
Clarke and Sheehan are able, and
doubtless willing, to purchase senator
ships. the same as Mark Hanna did;
but. should they succeed, wherein
would the democratic party be better
than the party Of Mark Hanna?
The election by the New York leg
islature last Friday, Of Justice
O'Gorman, Ito succeed Chauncey M.
Depew in the United States senate,
ends the senatorial contests in Ohio,
Montana and New York, and in all
three of these states progressive de-
mocracy has triumphed. sheehan
held out to the last, but on the six
ty-fourth joint ballot his supporters
gave up the struggle and voted
with the real democrats for the cleo
ton Of man of real worth and ster-
ling character.
And not alone in Ohio, Montana
and New York, but everywhere else
he real democrats have succeeded
in the election of real democratic
United States senators. The most
notable victory in this line was in
New, Jersey. That state has long
been known as the home nest of pred
atory trusts. These law defyinga G.
gregations of capital filled the state

The South Carolina Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.

The South Carolina Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church held
its session in Sumter Nov. 1927. 1t
was presided over by Bishop Luther
B. Wilson. D. D., who it is said proved
himself to be patient, thorough and
impartial presiding officer. We learn
that the article by Rev. C. Scott.
and which appeared recently in The
Chronicle and also in the Columbia
State. was generally discussed and
commented on quite favorably, and
that the Bishop spoke of it in one Of
the Cabinet meetings in quite a COM
plimentary manner. Pastor Scott is
returned here for another year and
judging by the reports of the increas-
ed attendance and the increase in the
church collections as compared with
this time last year, and the enthusi-
astic reception rendered him last
week, his congregation must be highly
gratified over his return.
The many colored patrons of The
Chronicle, particularly the Metho-
distS, will be interested in the Confer
ence appointments for the BENEFITS

Peculiar Magic Of the Right Kiad Z

demonstrating the power of adyertis-
are nearing the close of what has
been the most remarkable sale ever
held in this part of South Carolina.
the people are getting ready to be In
at the Finish"
Yes, it's little queer when you
stop to think of it-that notWithstand-
ing the strenuosity Of the present age
the thousands OF crowd pulling
schemes" foated around on mother
earth-that by the simple means OF
conservative advertising, a business
concern is able to make people liter
ally fall over one another to get into
its place of business. It Is bit
|uueer-but nevertheless true, Tor any
one who will take the trouble to
watch events in progress at this great
store will see continually crowds OF
eager shoppers-not great rush ike
the opening days, of course, but IN
dollars and cents the business is big
ger-and why?-simply that The
Evans Co. have been doing great
deal of the right kind of advertising
and that tells the tale.
Of course it goes without saying
that any catch penny concern that
ca ed to pop up into the game could
not meet with such success. but let a
reputable concern adopt the right
principles of advertising and they
could duplicate the great success OF
the Yellow Store People. 1t ought to
be a lesson to the timid advertiser
the man who says advertising does not
pay-this is a good example brought
home close and VIII >re the results can
be seen.
MIR. John Evans, who has charge OF
| the advertising for THIS concern' 10

his ads. are not sensational-but they
are interesting and they ring with
people feel that this store really can
save them money-reasons OF course
which are set forth in the copy-thls
lis the kind of advertising that gets
results.
Not many days remain Of this great
sale-but the big business is yet to
come-the week Immediately proceed"
ling Christmas should be bumper
week for this store-all signs point
that way snd We shall watch X

A Woman's Letter

Women. it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
nj. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into woman's letter.
There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of letter just as
she employs a glance or smile, In a
way that is carefully thought out, and
with an eye to effect. And, after all,
her head? Does woman's parasol
keep Off the sun? Why, then, should
q woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed. just like the letters of some
honest grocer. who writes, L send you
five pounds of Coffee because he
really does send you five pounds of
coffee"

ably before | came. while you were
half dead on the floor Somebody

why hasn't it been taken?"
For a fun minute Neil made no an
swer. And his answer. when it did
come. first of all was a laugh.
"l3y George. that's good," he cried
exutngly "Of course you were
searched and by Jeekum. He knows,
but he hasn't made a report OF it to
Strang because he believes that in
some way he will get hold of the

he's winning. l wonder what his first
scheme was?"

vouchsafed Nathaniel, throwing him
self upon the straw. There's room
Tor two here Neil"
a long silence fell between them.
The action during the last few min
utes had been too great an effort for
again. AS the pain and his terrible
thoughts of Marion fate returned TO
him he regretted that they had not
ended it all in one last fight at the
door There, at least they might have
died like men instead of waiting to be
shot down like dogs. their hands
bound behind them, their breasts
naked to the Mormon rifles. He did
not fear death. In more than one
game he had played against it's hand,
more often for love of the sport than
not, but there was a horror in being
penned up and tortured by it. He had
come to look upon it as fair enemy,
tlled, of course, with subterfuge and
treachery. which were the laws of the
game; but he had never dreamed of it
as anything but merciful in its quick
ness. 1t was as If his adversary had
broken an inviolable pact with him
and he sweated and tossed on his bed
of straw while Neil sat cool and silent
on the bench against the dungeon
wall. Sheer exhaustion brought him
relief, and after time he fell asleep.
He was awakened by Neil. The
white face of Marions brother was
over him when he opened his eyes and
he was shaking him roughly by the
shoulder
Wake up. Nat!' he cried. For
heavens sake-wake up"
He drew back as Nathaniel sleepily
reused himself
II couldn't help it, Nat" he apollo
gized, laughing nervously you've
lain there like dead man for hours.
My head is splitting with this damned
silence. Come-smoke up. l got some
tobacco from our jailer and he loaned
me his pipe
Nathaniel jumped to his feet. A
fresh candle was burning on the table
and in its light he saw that startling
change had come into Neil's face dur
ing the hours he had slept. 1t looked

DUG UP HIDDEN TREASURE
California Community Greatly Ex-
cited Over Mysterious Actions
of Stranger.

The people of this community are
wondering who was the mysterious
stranger who visited the ancient
adobe but mile north of here few
evenings ago and dug up a box Of
can that had been buried there fifty
years or more, says an Oakland cor
respondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle. 1t is supposed he carried
away large quantity of gold bull
lion that belonged to Glanville Swift,
an early day miner who lived in this
hut while operating in the mines in
the hills east of Chico, leaving in the
early COS with nearly $75O,O0O in
gold, which took six weeks to weigh
and required pack train and strong
guard to transport out of the country.
The stranger was seen lettering
about the adobe but one evening, and
Mr. Fawcett, who lives near, tried
to learn his mission, but failed. The
next morning Fawcett found where
box or can had been dug up during
the night There were several stakes,
showing that measurements had been
made from chart to locate the place
to dig. Only one hole was made.
When Glanville Swift weighed his
gold he found two or more large por-
ter bottles of it missing. 1t is sup
posed they were stolen and buried and
that this stranger learned of their
whereabouts.

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home TO settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted hlissiul honeymoon.
But. alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin. when She tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk Of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas. it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits it docs of Calumet Baking
Powder
Thus. eventually. the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid sometimes vel
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price. and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy. and is certainly the most
economical after all.
