Lake City, February 12::-Mr W
FL Steele came down from Rock
ingham, N C, and spent a week at
his Lake City home
MrL B Roper of Bennettsville
spent few days in and near towr
recently, returning home Monday
night.
Mr. Edgar W DuRant went tc
Bennettsville the early part OF the
week on business.
Mr. Mcleod of Bishopville,
brother of Ex-Lieutenant Governor
Thos G Mcleod, spent day in ;towr
last week. Mr. Mcleod, who will
graduate in law at the State Uni
versity in June. is casting about fol
location to practice his profession
He says be has a number of places
in view, but has not yet decided
which be viii take.
Mr. James Rollins returned from
Baltimore Saturday night. He was
operated upon and treated at Johns
Hopkins hospital for his old trouble
The operation was successful and ne
appears to be on the high road to
complete recovery. This will be g
wonderful blessing to him.
Mr. Frank Thompson of Dillon
visited in town Sunday.
Mrs J N Sturgeon has gone tc
Bishopville to visit her daughter, Mrs
L H Jennings.
Intendant Blackwell sent two
white men to the chaingang last
week for selling whiskey, Each, on
conviction, received the maximum
sentence, and is DOW in stripes. This
begins to look like striking a blow
at the blind tiger business. Such
sentences as these will do more to-
wards stopping this illegal traffic
than anything else.
The Epworth League had a
masked skating contestat the Amer
lean Tobacco Co.'S pack house last
Tuesday night.
DIR and Mrs w H Woods left last
week for London, England, where

Mrs Nettie Lee of Scranton spent
Monday with her sister, Mrs W E
Carter.
Mr. E C Wilkins of Manning came
here last Friday on business with
some people a few miles in the
country.
The weather we have been having
since the new year began has been
as fine as one could wish. Who can
recall a January of as good weather
as the one just ended? Very few,if
any. And the farmers have taken
of this splendid opportu-
nifty to put their lands in thorough
preparation for the coming crop.
Of course we do not know what is

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There Is only one way
to cure deafness, and that Is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
OF the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube Ia
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be deutroy
ed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which IL
nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Deafness, caus
ed by catarrh,. that cannot be cur
ed by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

( The central route of the cross
state highway received a big boost
at the Fulton meeting held last
Thursday. The meeting was ar
ranged TO give those interested In
the highway an opportunity to
meet the State Board Of Agr:cul-
ture to give their plans and adj
vantages 30 that the Board can
endorse the best route.
Saline county was represented by
q. A. Radford, w. G. Gordon, j. r.
Barbee and j. O.. Miller. A large
delegation from other counties in
terested was present also. Gov.
Hadley, who seems to favor the
central route, was present and
made a good talk showing his in
terest in our route.
The first consideration in choos-
ing the route for the road, he
said, would be practicability the
second would be the willingness
Of the people along the route TO
assure a good road; the third
would be the sentimental historic
interest OF the road the fourth
would be the state institutions, edu
cational institutions the route
would pass. A committee Of six
members OF the state board OF
agriculture will give hearings to
advocates OF the three proposed
routes in July or August he said
and they would choose the route.
The central route Is not only
the shortest and Logical one, but
has much historic interest as Il
closely follows the Boom's Lick
road and the Santa Fe Trail. On
this route also Is located the State
University and State institutions at
Fulton, Marshall and H~lgginsville.
Mr.. Hill explained the conditions
along the several routes under con
s!deration. This too favors the
central route In many respects.

Had Furniture Sold

II Is a rather sad reflection on
the ministry when preachers lose
their furniture because OF lack of
funds. Myers & Corder Saturday
foreclosed a mortgage on the fur
niture OF Rev. j. q. Donnell, a Pres
byteraan minister. Mr.. Donnell I'M
til about a year ago was pastor
at Slater and his family resided
here 40 the children could attend
M. v. c. A year ago he lost his
place in Slater and worked for the
Republican here several months,
but had gotten behind In his
groceries and was unable to catch
up. In the fall he accepted a call
from Georgetown, ILL.,, saying he
would redeem his furniture and
have it sent over, but no doubt he
was unable to do so with the re-
suit that the mortgage was fore
closed. Mr.. Donnell and family
are most excellent people and de-
serving. He Is a Woodworking, sim
cere as well as able man who
ought not have met such a fate.
There rs something wrong with a
church whose rules will permit a
minister to be cast out into the
world pennlless especially when
able to work.

Opfer- Tegtmeyer

An event OF not little interest
was the wedding OF Miss Minnie
Tegtmeyer, Oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. August Tegtmeyer,
near Grand Pass, and Mr.. Henry
Opfer, OF the Blackburn vicinity,
which took place at the Christian
church at Grand Pass on We'd
nesday, June IA, at 1890 a. m.
The church vas crowded al
most to its capacity, when to the
strains OF alone, Sweet Home"
played by Miss Louise Ernst in
slow march time, the couple en-
tered the building together with
their attendants, viz: Messrs.
Arthur Tegtmeyer, Fred Tegt-
meyer and Arnold opfer and
Misses Martha opfer, Katie
Bauer and Mary Bauer, and took
seats before the alter.
After congregational singing
and an earnest address by Rev.
H. lAuiiPCit Iht oiAtSiaNAhb bhiittsttA
the matrimonial vows were taken
and in solemn manner the couple
pronounced husband and wife.
The celebration which follow
cd ON the splendid T~egtmeyer
farm will surely long be remem-
bered by those participating, and
there were not few OF them, as
Mr.. Tegtmeyer had taken pride
in inviting all OF the Germans
and a number OF English speak
ing families of the Grand Pass
neighborhood besides the many
from near Blackburn, Nor

Friend Witt:
As promised I will try to write
you a few Lines about this Won
derful country in the northwest.
They have here what they call
Booster c. ~. The Commercial
Clubs appJ'It3 members to go to
different town and speak and
have banquets. 7 attended one and
was at the table two and a half
hours and enjoyed every minute.
II val a big thing.
Vh:.e you are sweltering u Is
RIO and cool here. IL Is the most
ierfect summer resort I have ever
see. This place is almost surround
cd by salt water and snow capped
mountains. The country Is most
w covered with timber, fir and
cedar. Great logging here. |
have seen them logging three
ways-oxen, heavy draft horses,
and donkey engines. The last is
a stationary egine but they move
II with its " power. They han
die logs so feet long and 5 feet
through and in a hurry, and clear
land with them. II costs about
800 an acre to clear land.
About fishing, they have nets
set near the shore in the straits of
San Juan de Faca with piling set
for nets To- adjust with the tides,
and they call them traps. They
cost from three to five thousand
dollars. They are set for salmon
but catch all kinds Of fish and
ducks. but everything Is thrown
out but the salmon and all are so
compact that most are dead. They
have several scrow loads every
day, equal To several a loads.
They are worth i0c 60 Csc a piece
from the traps.

We went TO Discovery Bay TO
fish for Souls, a very popular fish
caught with hook and line. We
catch them from n boat In 100 feet
OF water and within two feet from
the bottom. We caught all We
wanted and they were fine.
l was trout fishing when ] hap
pcned 10 the accident mentioned
In the Republican, but the log that
you sad tilted was 100 feet long
and five feet wide, lying across
the Quilicene river. a mountain
stream 80 miles from here. They
catch plenty OF trout ove 3 lbs.
that are beauties.
At certain times In the year
when fish travel you can see
them by the thousands, as the wa
tor Is clear. At this time they catch
them with gigs from the docks.
There r three modern forts
here called the Triangular Fortifi-
cations. They keep ove 1900 sol
dicrs here and many OF them are
the streets every day.
The biggest thing they have here
Is a cat and a rat ranch OF one
million cats and one million rats.
The cats increase twelve-fold per
year and the rats four times M
fast as the cats. They feed the
cats with the rats aud the carcass
es Of the cats to the rats. The cat
hides sell from ~ 1-2 to rs cents
each, and they make an immense
amount OF violin, guitar and banjo
strings and give employment to a
great many men, boys and girls.
The Edison and Columbia Phono-
graph Companies pay a royalty on
the cat concerts they give nightly.
This Ii also a great game coun-
try. Plenty OF all kinds in woods
and mountains-elk, deer, bear,

WHY HE SHUNS UTAH.

Ex.President Roosevelt did not IN
clude Utah in his itinerary, il ap.
pears, because he wa; not invited to
come here But time was when no
such slight would have been admin
isterc,, 20 Mr.. Roosevelt. Time was
when it was held by the organ of the
Federal bunch TO be fat blasphemy to
even proclaim such thing as dis
agreement with Mr. Roosevelt; his
word was held TO be lnfallible, his per-
sopalitv the greatest IN the world.
But now how neglected, how over
looked, Not one of the Federal bunch,
not one of the official State rlngr
thought for a moment of inviting Mr..
Roosevelt to Utah. although his west
ern tour was everywhere advertised.
Not one wished TO affiliate with him,
not one but gladly shirked his presence,
and this simply because of reputed
disagreement between Mr.. Roosevelt
and President Taft The Federal bunch,
and also the State bosses, always want
TO stand in with the ruling power, car
ing nothing for q glory that has de-
parted OF for a glory that is to come
With them it is all practical, selfish,
immediate; nothing else counts and
nothing would so chagrin Federal
buncher or a State boss as to be caught
associating with one who was down and
out, as Mr.. Roosevelt is supposed by
that bunch now to be.
1t is a shocking piece of ingratitude
on the part of Smoot to thus forget
Mr.. Roosevelt; for without Roosevelt
there would be no Apostle Senator from
Utah. IT was Roosevelt who gave
Smoot his seat, and who shaped the
matter as a party question SO that Re-
publican Senators who had previously
expressed themselves decidedly against
Smoot were whipped into line and voted
for him because of the administration
demand. And now Roosevelt is for
gotten and neglected in Utah! What
commentary upon the amenities OF
mankind! What shocking exhibition

SPEAKER cLARK's SPEECH.

That was right good, breezy speech
delivered by Champ Clark on taking
the Speakership Of the House in the
Sixty second Congress, 1t was kcenIy
political, to be sure; but that was ex
pected 1t was patriotic, too, and
breathed the right sentiment Of de
votion 10 the public interests. And IN
referring to the aisle which separates
the seats of the Democrats from the
seats of the Republicans, he referred
gracefully to the fact that this is not
II separation as Americans or IN devo-
tion to the public interests, quoting
the maxim that ''he serves his party
best who serves his country best.
Speaker Clark made no reference IN
his speech to the business specified by
President Taft in his call for the ex-
ira session. but put forward six propo.
sitlons of his own, TO act up to, VIZ:
Revision downward of the tariff; not
likely to be consented to by the Sen
ate at the extra session,
The election of e. S. Senators by the
people; not as important as il was be-
fore the people got to eiecting them IN
so many Of the States, and not likely
to be considered by the Senate.
Unspecfed changes in the rules of
the House; not likely TO be important.
Economy in the public expenditures,
always promised at every session. but
never realized,
The requirement of the publication of
campaign expenditures; which would
bring in different system of financing
political campaigns, more likely to IN
crease than to diminish corruption,
The admission of both New Mexico
and Arizona as States; this also un-
likely to be agreed TO by the Senate
at the extra session,
The speech would have been more
satisfactory if. instead of branching off
like this in a programme independent
of the President s call, il had taken
up the matters named therein and de
clared the Democratic attitude respect
ing them But it was lively, vigorous
opening of the House session, and by
it Speaker Clark made distinctly
favorable impression.
