TsHE mob besieging Cavanagh in
EalSey'S saloon had not found

n clustered, but did not strike
and eventually edged out OF the door
and disappeared. But the silence
which followed it's retreat was more
alarming to the ranger than it's pres
ence. Some slier mischief was in
these minds. He feared that they
were about to cut the electric light
wires and so plunge him into dark
ness, and to prepare for that emergen-

The fellow sullenly set about this
task, and Ross, turning to Gregg. said,
IF you've any influence with this
mob you'd better use it to keep them
out of mischief, for I'm on this job to
the bitter end, and somebody's going
to be hurt"
Gregg, who seemed quite detached
from the action and rather delighted
with it. replied: Il have no influence.
They don't care a hang about me.
They have it in for you. that's ALL"
Edwards remained silent, with his
hat drawn low over his eyes. 1t was
evident hat he was anxious to avoid
being seen and quite willing to keep
out of the conflict; but. with no hand
cuffs and the back door of the saloon
u~nguarded, Ross was aware that his
guard must be incessant and alertly
vigilant.

BAILEY URGES BRAVERY
Senator Declares Courage of
Senate Put to Test.
Unsuccessful Attempt Made to Fix
Date for Taking Vote on the
Lorimer Case.

Washington, Feb, 15.-In an appeal
to his colleagues in the senate to dis
regard popular clamor and settle the
case of Senator Lorimer on the law
and the evidence, Senator Bailey, of
Texas, brought to a close his speech
defending the Illinois senator's title
to his seat.
eff | was actuated in my course in
this case by a personal friendship for
Senator Lorimer, which | am not"
said Mr.. Bailey, II would want to see
him unseated. Then the Illinois leg
islature, unless it is as corrupt as it
has been pictured by the senator from
Ohio, (Burton), would make answer
to the charges that have been made
against it by re-electing Lorimer by
an overwhelming majority"
Appealing to the senators not to be
swept away by a clamor for Lorimer's
eviction, the senator from Texas de-
clared:
"This American republic in my opin-
ion is in more danger from coWardice
than 1t is from corruption. L deny
that the United States senate is venai
or corrupt"
Quoting Senator Root as saying that
the senate was on trial before the
American people Bailey declared that
the senate was not on trial, but that
the courage Of the senate was being
put to the test.
"Have we fallen to such a low es-
tate in the United States senate" ex-
claimed Mr.. Bailey, that we will
stoop to the earth and kiss the ground
that our constituents walked upon?"
At the conclusion of Senator Bailey's
address, another effort vas made to
fix a date for a vote on the Lorimer
case, but without success

er man. with a grizzled beard, and tall
and STOPPING figure.
Hello. Joe" called the ranger.
you're astir early"
The youths fat face remained imper-
turbable, but his eyes betrayed uneasi-
ness. Yes, it's a long pull into town."
Been hunting?" queried the ranger,
still with CHEEKY. polite interest.
"Oh. no.: just visiting one of my
sheep camps"
Cavanagh's voice was a little less
suave Not on this creek" he de-
clared. Il moved your herder last
week." He walked forward. That's
a heavy load for a short trip to a
sheep camp" He put his hand on the
pack. Il guess you'll have to open
this, for l heard two shots yesterday
morning up where that flock of noun
tain sheep is running, and. further
more, l can see blood stains on this
saddle blanket"
Gregg threw out a hand in COM
mand. "Open it up. Edwards" he
said sullenly.
Off came the outfit. and under the
tent lay the noble head of a wild ram,
a look of reproach still in his splendid
yellow eyes.
Cavanagh's face hardened. 81
thought so. Now heave it back and
cinch up. It's you to the nearest
magistrate, which happens to be Hig-
ley Of Roaring Fork. I'll make an eX-
ample Of you fellows"
There was nothing for Gregg to say
and nothing for Edwards to do but
obey, for a resolute ranger with an
excellent weapon Of the latest and
most approved angular pattern stood
ready to enforce his command. and
when the pack was recinched Cava-
nagh waved an imperative hand. Il
guess I'll have to take charge of your
guns" he said, and they yielded with
out a word of protest. Now march!
Take the left hand trail"

rise between the saWmill and
his own station Cavanagh
heard two rife shots in quick
succession swapping across the high
peak on his left. Bringing his horse
to a stand, he unslung his fieldgIasses
and slowly and minutely swept the
taWny slopes Of Sheep mountain, from
which the forbidden sounds seemed to
come.
"a herder shooting coyotes" was his
first thought. Then, remembering that
there were no camps in that direction
and that a flock Of mountain sheep
(Which he had been guarding careful
Iy) habitually fed round that grassy
peak, his mind changed. II wonder if
those fellows are after those sheep"
he unused as he angled down the
slope. 81 reckon it's up to me to see"
In less than three hours he was over
on the trail in the canyon, quite GER
tain that the hunters were still above
him. He rode quietly up the valley,
pauSing often to listen and to scruti-
niZe the landscape, but no sign of
campfire and no further rife shots
came, and at last he went into camp
upon the trail, resolved to wait till the
poachers appeared. a ward which his
experience as a soldier helped him to
maintain without nodding.
In these long hours his thought play
ed about the remembrance of his last
visit to the Fork and his hour with
Lee. He wondered what she was do
ing at the moment. How charming
she had looked there at Redfelds'-sO
girlish in form. SO serious and N
ly Of face!
He felt as never before the ineludi-
BILE loneliness of the rangers life. The
guardians Of these high places must
forever be solitary. No ranger could
rightfully be husband and father, for
to bring women and children into these
solitudes would be cruel.
He put all this aside-for the time
by remembering that he was a soldier
under orders and that marriage was a
long way off. and so smoked his pipe
and waited for the dawn, persistent
as a Sioux and as silent as a fox.
At daylight. there tring still no sign
of his quarry. he sd died his horse and
was about to ride up the trail when
he caught the sound Of voices and
the sharp click OF iron hoofs on the
rocks above him. With his horses
bride in his arm he awaited the APP
preaching horsemen, reSolute and ready
to act.

VACANCIES IN THE RANKS.

The pleasures Of this commence
ment of Newberry college are not
unmixed with sadness. Since the last
commencement three members Of the
hoard of trustees, who we're three as
devoted friends as the institution had
have passed away. The college cata-
logue recently issued pays this deserv-
ed tribute to the memory of these
three men-Y. J. Pope, o. L. Schum-
pert, and the Rev J. S. Elmore:
"For many years these gentlemen
served with great fidelity as members
of the board of trustees. Their inter-
est in the institution continued with
out abatement, and each one of them,
in passing, has bequeathed a glorious
example to US who remain, OF high
devotion to the vital cause Of Chris
tian education, as well as of uncloud-
ed faith in the further usefulness and
growth of Newberry college.
ssTheir works do follow them"

Unsuitable greed for money! With the
mills combined and controlled by one
directorate, the employees will be alb
solutely at their mercy and do as We
say do. or no employment will be the
outcome Dismissed from one mill
will mean dismissal from all. and left
to drift without sympathy or redress.
When reduced to brass tax We believe
that the same money powers that con-
troll the great trusts of the North will
ultimately control his mill merger, as
it will control the Southern water
power and electric company, and will
own and dominate the State. In the
inordinate greed for money and mate
rial advancement that characterizes
these strenuous times we are begin
ming to be too forgetful of persoanl
rights and higher things. For one we
place the man above the dollar, and
We want the employees of this coun-
try protected by sane practices and
reasonable laws.
1t is time to cry out against the
money powers when a dozen men can
get together and by the touch of a.
button r;.4se or reduce prices, or
create a panic.

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The South Carolina Press assocla-
ZION, which met in Columbia last week,
was largely attended and held very
pleasant meeting. Mr.. H. L. Watson,
editor of the Greenwood Index, was
elected president and will discharge
the duties of the Office with credit to
himself and the association. Col. Au-
gust Kohn, the retiring president, DID
a great deal to keep up an interest IN
the association, and arranged a very
delightful trip for the editors to New
York
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, was the annual orator and de-
1iyered a most excellent address to
very large audience in the city opera
house. It would probably have been
better if Governor Wilson had been so
situated that he could have become
hotter ACQUAINTED with the editors
during his visit to Columbia. They,
NO doubt. would have appreciated MIN
more if they could have had an oppor-
tunity to know him better. What lit
tie we saw of him, we were impressed
with his simpleness of manner and
his strength of character. He is un-
assuming, but he bears the evidence
of hard fighter, and one who is not
afraid to speak what he thinks.
The place for the next meeting OF
the association was left to the execu-
tive committee as there were no inVl-
tations extended.
A large party of the editors, and a
larger party of those who are not ed1-
tors, went on the trip to New York.
leaving Charleston on Sunday, max
ing the trip via water.
We are still of the opinion that the
greatest benefit to the members of the
association comes from meeting at
a. summer resort, such as Glenn
Springs or the Isle of Palms. Places
Of this kind make it necessary for the
editors to remain together, and to
become better acquainted with one
another, and the annual meeting then
is a. res1ful time for the editors, and
We hope the executive committee may
decide upon such place for the next
annual meeting. It would be better
also to have the meeting in July Or
August.

HAVE THEIR OWN SYSTEMS
Business Secrets That Seem unln,-
portant, but Are Guarded With
Much Jealousy.

Since / began to meet people who
won't let anybody see how they do
thing because they have a secret
method which they are not ready to
iivulge just yet l have been like a
crazy woman" said the housekeeper.
There are plenty of those budding
geniuses doing odd Jobs about town.
One of them came to our house the
other day to mend suitcase. It was
IN easy job. He could have taken the
thing into the storeroom and mended
it in half an hour, but instead of that
he insisted upon taking 1t home. He
tad secret process for doing things
Ike that, he said, and preferred not to
york where anybody else could find
out how he did 1t.
While my curiosity over the suit
case was still seething q woman who
is quite handy at draughting patterns
stirred it still more by refusing to cut
out waist pattern at my house be-
cause she has her own method OF cut
ting that she isn't ready to advertise
just yet.
"Right on the heels of that a car
pet renovator was proof against all
Establishments to come to the house to
take spots out of a rug. He has a
cleansing formula which he will not
take chances on giving away by doing
work outside of his own shop, SO the
rug went tv him.
THE other day man came around
to fight water bugs. IN q sense J had
him at my mercy because he couldn't
take the bugs home, but he did the
next best thing and ordered me to
stay out of the kitchen while the
process of determination was going
on. Was the process dangerous? |
asked. No, it wasn't dangerous. but
it was secret which he didn't wish
TO reveal, not even to an innocent
nousekeeper like rec.
And SO they come and go through
all the trades, every man studying out
system better than anybody else's.
When all those geniuses let their
deas loose upon the world something
ike revolution ought to take place.

IN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such a time uSPARllA is the best and
iafest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pinples.
pustuies, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility SO prevalent
during the close of winter and the OPENING
of spring. For arrangements of the di.
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali.
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthy activity. Ii.
beneficial influence extends, however, tc
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation Of
food, promoting a wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con.
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi.
ness, headache, backache and despond.
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is q
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
