HAS GOOD ADVANCE SALE
IN COLUMBIA.

That the production in Columbia
next Tuesday night OF the National
Troubadours. under the auspices of
the Kings Daughters. will be greeted
by an excellent house is forecasted by
the unusually good advance sale Of
seats. The seats are being reserved
at >Woldridge's drug store, and when
the box was opened this morning
there was rush to get the best seats
obtainable.
The rehearsals at the opera house
are proving that the show here will
be well presented, as the actors and
actresses are falling naturally into
their parts. There are two rehearsals
each day, the younger children in the
afternoon and the entire cast at night.

hope that ultimately the Directing su-
burbanites will agree to the fair and
just terms proposed to them.
President Dedman was directed to
appoint committee to confer with
the officials Of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad with reference to To-
eating of shops in Columbia and to
ascertain and report to the next meet
ng what inducements, If any, would
be necessary to secure the location Of
the shops. The President stated
that he would name the committee at
once.
An invitation was received from the
Kings Daughters to attend the smok-
er to be given at the Bethel House
on Friday night and the Board &C
cepted the invitation and decided to
meet at the bank at 8 o'clock and At

At this juncture the tellers reported
the election Of ten directors, there b.

ballot was taken with the result that
J. c. Hardy was chosen.

ly do | appreciate your request for
line from me in commentator of the
purpose Of the Kings Daughters to
build city hospital in Columbia. 1t
is an opportunity that I had in mind
to beg Of you, not only because still
look upon Columbia as my home but
because your enterprise Is one that
appeals to me supremacy. A hospital
In a city the size of Columbia is a me-
cessity.
The conditions of modern life, the
advanced and successful methods of
treating the sick and the newer sur
gerry make such an institution an i'm
perative necessity l venture the
guess that enough Columbia money Is
spent in Nashville and other hospit-
ais annually to more than sustain
home institution, but such an expendi-
ture provides treatment for the few
when it might provide for all.
But aside from this, such 'life-sav-
ing station" for the helpless is some
thing that every citizen owes to his
community, and every Christian to
his Lord.
1t is well for Christian charity to
furnish the casket and funeral out
fit for a deceased father or mother
when friends are unable to lay them
away, but 1t is vastly better for the
community brotherhood to use their
money to keep the parent alive. 1t
Is a better investment, and yet the
former fashion can plead custom and
tradition.
But your hospital needs no argu-
ment, it needs only the loyalty OF the
Columbia public, and the money which
your great order of the King well
know how to obtain. May the
"King's" richest blessing rest upon
your noble undertaking. Most sincere
ly, T. A. WHARTON.

First Monday and asked for additional
subscriptions. The whole amount was
either paid or pledged and will be re-

sion.
From the committee appointed to
confer with the fair association,
Chairman Parker and Mr.. Rainey sub
mitted most encouraging reports.
They were enthusiastic over the pros
poets for a first class fair this year
and declared that while they had been
unable to come to an agreement with
the fair association for the lease or
purchase of the fair property that
they had been assured by the fair Of
ficials that the fair this year would
be the best In the history Of the
county. Several individuals have
agreed to supplement the premiums
offered by the association for the best
exhibits of grain and live stock.
Recognizing the great value Of sci
entif1c agriculture and appreciating
the fact that the agricultural interests
of the State are the sources Of its
great wealth, j. |. Ffnney offered me-
mortal to the Legislature asking that
the salary of the commissioner Of ag-
riculture be fixed at $4,000 per annum
so that the office would be sufficiently
remunerative to attract the very best
talent in the State. The motion
unanimously prevailed.
In view of the opposition to the an
nexation Of adjacent territory to the
city limits and of the fact that under
the proposition of the Board Of Alder

ATTACK LIKE TIGERS.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
salt rheum and sores multiply and
strength and appetite fail. This con-
dition demands Electric Bitters to reg
ulate stomach, liver and kidneys and
to expel poisons from the blood.

WOMAN LAWYER WILL
 TRY HAND AT FLYING

Washington, August D.-(Speeiale-- Mrs Belva A. Lockwood, one of the lea6- ing woman lawyers of the country, one time candidate of the woman suffragists for President of the United States, is to become an amateur aeronaut.
 She has taken a keen interest in the de. velopment of the aeroplane, and it is stated today had made arrangements for her first air ride at College park in tne near future.
 Mrs Lockwood has no intention of aban- doning the law for the aeroplane. but it is not improbable that she will own her own machine before long.
 In speaking of her new fancy, Mrs. Lockwood said this was not her first at tempt at flight.
 She said that when about 10 years old she became intensely interested In the flight of swallows. and decided to try the effects of flying. Obtaining most of the umbrellas in her home, she stole away to the roof of an l. which ran back of the home and which afforded 12-foot drop to the ground. Opening the umbrellas sie sprang into the air, but her ideas as to the efficacy of umbrellas were not jfs4sy' fled and she came straight down, unccn--. fortably jared but otherwise unhurt

TEXAS CATTLE MEN
 AFTER THE PACKER

San Antonio, August 20-(Special )-Just what the cattlemen of Texas will do at their coming meeting at Fort Worth for the purpose of inquiring into the cause for the great discrepancy between the price Of cattle on foot and the meat on the block. is not known, but that they are in earnest in this effort is very much In evil dence in ali parts of Texas.
 That there is some kind of an organiZa- ton somewhere that is responsible for the 3O0 per cent increase between the producer of meats and the consumer is very evil dent. and the cattlemen of Texas believe they will be able to bring this combina- ton out in the open and make it give an account of itself That the increase in price does not apply all along the line in the products from cattle and hogs, and that the great increase from the producer to the consumer is confined largely to those things the people have to have those on which subsistence depends-is very apparent when the matter is looked tito carefully is the opinion of we'll known cattleman who has given much thought to the situation. Discussing the subject, he said:
 Take hides for instance, and the fin- ished product from them. The increase in tEe price of boots and shoes has not been great. In fact. one can buy a good pair of shoe now for the same price that pre- vailed five or six years ago. Take all Einds of leather goods, as rule. and there has not been that great increase tlai has marked the upward bound in the rrice of meats. If, as some of the pack CTS maintain, there is an. increased de- rsand for meats, 1t naturally follows that if this comes from the increase In popu- lition, that there would be a correspond ing increase in the demand for boots and shoes. Take any of the by-products from cattle and hogs and the increase in price has been but a fraction of that which hal marked the increase in the price of neces- sites. We shall do our best at the com ing meeting at Fort Worth to locate the cause, and if possible start a crusade that will bring about reduction in the price of meats and more equitable distribu- tion of the profits.''

you know, if you had an aristocracy. You cant have love of home and the family and, perpetuate the best instincts of a race unless you care enough for the family name to keep it unstained. Why, it's shocking the way you Americans get di- vcrces. It's done in England, too, but not nearly so much as here. Just think of contracting alliances with three or four different families during lifetime. It's too much to contemplate. You can't keep up the tradition of the Smith family if you are going to cut away from it and jCin the Jones family, and then marry into the Robinson household
 But, then, I won't want to criticise America l have too much respect for your enterprise, your business ability and brains. England is drained out, you know. It's the plutocratic peers that are to blame. I'm liberal. Almost all the old CT peers are, and we are for the people and with the poor. The newly designated lords have no use for the poor people,

DEEP RIVER CHANNEL
 WILL HELP FLORENCE

Florence, August N.- Special. )--Of vast importance to Florence is the work be- ing done to deepen the channel of the Tennessee river few miles below this city and which will, when completed, make Florence the head of navigation the year around instead of during high water only, as has been the case heretofore.
 The dredges Kentucky and Tennessees ste amers Colbert and Lookout, with a fleet cc barges and boathouses, are at work removing the Tuscumbia bar and Duck Island shoals. The appropriation now available for the work is $3000O0, and $490,- eJo additional will probably be required .o complete the work. The engineers have estimated that about two years will be required to complete the work. The prac- tioal completion of the Colbert shoals canal in 1910 at cost of about $3,O00,O00 left the Tuscumbia bar and the Buck Island shoals the only Instructions to ali- tbe- year navigation between Florence and tlle Ohio river
 The government is said to be paying the men now employed on the work about SsOOO per month. s
