Italian smugglers frequently train dogs to assist in their contraband work According to a report from the Italian customs officials, the dogs pressed into the smuggling service are first submit ted to rigorous training on Swiss terri tory and. after being i'll treated by one of the smugglers attired as customs official are driven across the frontier into Italy. Here, meeting with great kindness from the smugglers, the ami mals soon distinguish between friends and foes. After a time the canine con federates are taken over the boundary to Switzerland, where they are loaded with excisable articles-sugar, tobacco and spirits-and set free to make their way back to tbeir friends quarters over the Italian frontier.

OUR OCONEE BOYS AT CLEMSON.
Stribling Promises to BE Il Star i'm
the Foot Ball Heavens.

Clemson College, Oct. 7.-Special:
So far as We know, all Of the Oconec
boys down here are in good health
and are satisfied. Several Of them
were either visited by their parents
and friends or visited home them
selves Saturday and Sunday. Of
course all were remembered with a
box OF good eatin',' and they very
generously divided with those who
did not get to visit. Some of the bows
are Known to have eaten from five
different boxes. All who have ever
attended college know what that
means.
The Clemson foot ball team spent
the past weekend in Birmingham,
Ala, where they beat Howard By a
score Of 80 to 0. Among the boys
who went was "Oconee's athlete" j.
w. S%tribling. He has made a fine
beginning down here and has a
splendid future ahead OF him in the
DOT ball world.
A "celebration' on a large scale
was held in front of Barracks No. 2
Saturday night. The team came on
NO. 80, which was an hour and Is
minutes late, which was after call to
quarters, but Col. Cummins very
kindly released all cadets from quar-
ters in order that they might give
the team an appropriate reception.
One who has never attended a recep-
ton Of this kind cannot realize what
it means to hear 100 to 500 boys and
men hollering and cheering at once.

Senator ]. D. Prather, of Stephens
county, Georgia, was in Walhalla for
a short while last week. He is an
enthusiast on the subject Of making
the Tugaloo river navigable, and is
leaving no stone unturned in his ef-
forts to secure and place before the
government engineers such data
bearing on the subject as will con-
vince them Of the practicability Of
the project which he is so deeply in
tcrcstcd in.
Senator Prather is a very interest
ing man in every respect. and has an
amending store OF information re-
GardinS his section Of Georgia and a
large portion Of u State.
Speaking Of this proposition to make
the Tugaloo navigablc, he said:
Yes, we are making great effort
to have the TugalOO made navigable
from the mouth OF Panther Creek, in
Stephens county. Georgia. to Chand-
Ter Shoals, in Hart county, which Dor
dcrS on your " county (OcOncc) in
South Carolina. For that reason
everybody in your county and the
two Georgia counties mentioned
ought to join hands in this move
mcnt, which will mean much for the
whole section OF country.

ity of success for the movements? |

and from him We aSccrtainod that all
we need is a united effort OF the pco-
pie living adjacent to the river to
work, and to get their United States
Senator'S and congressman to work,
and we are sure to be successful in
Il undertaking.
I'VE havc already demonstrated
beyond cavil that the thing is entire
IS feasible. There is now a steam
boat OF twenty tons capacity running
over c!cvc miles OF this river. THAT
whole stretch between the points |
named ought to have been omen to

which am one, appointed by the
oar OF Trade OF TOccOa, to get mn

The boat that has been in opera
ton on the Tugaloo for some time
has proven OF great benefit TO the
section OF country it serves, that sec
ton being in the main without ado
quatc railway facilities. and tho scr-
vice, by extending the navigable area
OF the Tugaloo, would increase the
efficiency Of the boat line a hundred
fold. Our citizens will do we'll 10 CO.
operate with Senator Prather in his
efforts to promote this undertaking.
1t will, as he says. mean great things
for the section to be served.

OKLAHOMA BONDS
Commissioner to Apply Reciprocal
Law to Insurance Companies.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 22.-Texas life
insurance companies doing business in
Oklahoma will be expected in the fu-
ture to make investments in Oklahoma
securities under the provisions of the
Robinson insurance law of Texas. The
five Texas companies licensed here
have been notified to that effect by p.
A. Ballard Oklahoma insurance COM
missioner, who will apply the Okla.
homa reciprocal insurance law to the
case.
Under the Robinson law life insur-
ance companies doing business in that
state must invest rs per cent of the
amount of their Texas reserve in ap.
proved securities of the Lone Star
state. The last Oklahoma legislature
passed law stating that where a
foreign insurance company was ad.
mitted to do business in this state, it
must submit to the same requirements
as would be made of an Oklahoma
company when admitted to the state
in which the foreign company had its
domicile.
The reciprocal provision makes the
Texas life insurance life companies
licensed here subject to the Robinson
law although not statute of this
state. This will require the invest
ment of rs per cent of the Oklahoma
reserve of the companies in securities
of this state.
The Texas life insurance companies
doing business in Oklahoma are the
American National of Galveston; the
Wichita Southern OF Wichita Falls;
the Great Southern Life of Houston;
the Amarillo National Life of Amarillo
and the American Home of Fort
Worth. These companies must show
by their report to the Oklahoma de-
partment by December 81, 1912 that
they have complied with the Robin
son law.
