Mrs. Mamie McElroy, whose home

of his business, mysteriously disap-
peared from Mrs Snlurr's last Satur-

gone to Harrisburg, Pa, wished to fol-

out cent OF money, so Mrs. Smurr
advanced her four dollars to pay her

is stranded and historical the Harris

with McElroy cannot account for his

Mr. Watson much encouragement.
They cited the prec dent of the Moa-

contested election involving the seat
OF Thomas G. Powers, that ig, sla.
ture in electing a senator, may
act under tehe law as an "as-
semblege OF legislators rather
than as two organized gislative
bodies. The situation in Montana at

Wants A Square Deal.

Senator Davis Elkins, who was APP
pointed by Governor Glassccck to fill
his fathers seat until new senator
X elected, is naturally following the
action of the democrats in the West
Virginia legislature with interest. "All
we ask from the democrats in the Il &
stature is a square deal, said he.
We want justice and we don't pro-
pose to take anything less than JUS
tice. The republicans have half. the
membership of the Senate and the
democrats have the ether half They
cannot organize the Senate without
the republican senators, and the re.
publican senators will never permit
them to organize until they show they
are willing to act fairly. We know
them. We know that unless We insist
on cur rights they are ready to de-
clare the the election of at least two
OF the republican senators illegal and
get control of the Senate by putting
their men in. They showed their dis
position by their action when they vot-
ed to Dust the republican member
elect from the First district AID seat

10 Charleston and permit the organiza-
ton in the Senate when the democrat
ic senators consent that the republi-
cans shall elect the president of the

pose to have it. We have a right to
demand it. The present administra-
ton of West Virginia is republican, be

Taking No Chances.
1--WE have in our state no lieutenant

ernor in case CT a vacancy from any

to be remedied, but just now it is the
situation that confronts us and we
must be prepared to meet it. Cover

than he has bsen for years. At the

health, but we don't propose 10 take
any chances. If the democrats consent
that the republican senators shall
elect the president CT the Senate | do
rot doubt that the republican absen-
tees will return to Charleston. Our
only concern is for the preservation
OF the rights of the people of West

1T WAS A GOOD MEETING.
OcOnee County Farmers Mutual In
suranCe Association in Fine Shane.

The Farmers Mutual Insurance
Association Of Oconee county held it's
annual meeting In Walhalla yester-
day morning, remaining in session
for some hours, during which time
all business before the association.
including the annual election of off,
GERS, was transacted.
All officers of the association were
reelected for the coming year, as fol-
lows: President, J. B. Pickett; sec
retary and treasurer, J. d. Isbell.
and a board Of directors comprising 2
one member from each township in
the county.
The affairs Of the association were
found to be in excellent condition,
The association now carries 500 in
surance policies for members, the ag-
gregate amount Of insurance being
$43O,000. Insurance Is carried by
policy-holders in the association at
a cost Of about one-half Of one per
cent, and the association has met
every obligation promptly from it's
entry into b siness. There were paid
during the past year losses to the
amount Of 81 ,550.83, and the bust
ness was carried on at a cost of only
$3.50. The association has on hand
cash balance of $S69.9O. These
hgures were taken from the annual
report of the secretary and treasurer.
which was made for the annual term
closing June 30th.
1t Is gratifying to the people of
Oconee, and especially to the mem
bers Of the Farmers Mutual Insur-
ance Association, to know that this
local association ranks among the
best mutual insurance associations in
South Carolina. 1t has been of great
benefit to the members, many carry
ing insurance now who were unable
to carry insurance under other condi-
tions than those offered by the local
mutual organization.

1t Wasn't "Jack the Ripper"

Jack the Ripper" sensation has been
exploded. 1t made many picturesque
news items, while it lasted, for the
local papers. but 1t Is admitted now,
even by the police, that there never
was any Jack the Ripper" and that
the series of Saturday night murders,
merely coincidental In happening to
fall on those nights. were also per-
petrated under different circum-
stances and by different people.
This conclusion has been forced by
tho following up Of clues in the
eases. In the murder OF Sadie Huff
the police have discovered that her
throat was cut by man whom she
had known a long time. and that he
rode with her in hack on the night
1t happened. 1t has similarly been
shown that Sophie Green was killed
