us in our hour of aff1icton, we. the blind
Zieger workers. request that you write a
letter and forward II to the sons and ex-
press our keen sympathy in their sorrow
and our admiration of the beautiful 10y
atty and devotion OF their parents. whose
noble character shall be an example to the
whole world for many years to come. We
are grateful for the good which has come
TO us. ! hope you will approve and con-
sent TO help us, for We wish 10 send our
sincere sympathy in behalf OF the blind
Iiegler workers. Yours truly,

counteract and overcome the obstacle
placed In his way by his blindness.

As for MaqdaIena Bay.

AS for the Magdalena Bay matter, the
greater part OF the whole controversy,has
been brought about by misinformation on
the subject There have been no more
concessions granted to the Japanese by
the Mexican government than there have
to companies from other governments. 1
emphaticall do not wish 1T to be under
stood that make that statement in the
sense that the Japanese or any other gov
ernment is recognized as concerned imme-
diately with the management Of the COM
panies gaining concessions.
There may be Japanese generals fishing
in company boats off the cost Of Mexico.
but IL that Is SO / do not know 1t. You
people here in this country may be employ
Ing men as cooks who were In the Russian
war. but how will you find II out? There Is
absolutely no more behind the concessions
granted to the Japanese companies than
there IL behind those granted to the Ger
man and Norwegian companies. All these
concessions are matter OF public record
and must be- according TO the constitution
Of Mexico
II was In Mexico City little while ago,
when 1 received tho news that Senator
Lodge had recommended an Investigation
OF the MagdaIena Bay affair. so called. 1
was surprised, because I have the highest
possible regard for the shrewdness and
ability OF Senator Lodge. and can predict
now that. so far as discovering any tn-
trigue between the governments goes, the
time and money spent upon II Will be
wasted. 1t may serve to show the Ameri-
can people, however, that all this talk
about the Japanese "tunnelling' into the
country by way Of Mexico is very silly. IN

Tom Thumbs Widow.

Thursday, ,Oct.31, was the birthday of
one unique in American history-Mrs.
Tom Thumb. She was Miss Lavinia
Warren of Massachusetts,. Twice has
she married titled husbands, "Gen."
Tom Thumb and Count Primo Magri.
Both, like herself, were midgets.
These little people were not malformed
or dwarfed in any particular, but
were merely midgets in size. Their
minds were clear and active.
Gen." Tom Thumb spent much of
his life in South Carolina. His real
name was Charles Sherwood Stratton,
and he was closely related to Mrs.
Stratton of Columbia, at one time !
celebrated verse writer. The family
Of DR.. L. X. Philpot of Columbia is
also closely related to the late Gen.
Tom Thumb. In 1852 Phineas T.
Barnum engaged Chas. e. Stratton
for tour of the world and dubbed
him "Gen. Tom Thumb" He was not
feet in height and then weighed less
than IL pounds. Gen. Tom Thumb
died in 1885 at the age of 45. His
widow is now II years old. The NOR
tality of midgets, however, is marked,
and they rarely live to be over 35
The most celebrated midget today
is Little Gabriel, who is 32nd degree
Mason and a man of many charms
and graces. He originated the Buster
Brown parts on the stage.-Anderson

Why Fret?

In the American Magazine appears
the following:
Are the trains too slow for you?
Caesar, with all his court, never
exceeded the speed limit.
care your wages too small? In
Europe people are content with max
ing living.
care you ugly? Cleopatra, though
homely, bewitched two emperors.
care you cold? The soldiers of
Valley Forge, walked barefoot on the
ice and snow.
Are you hungry? The children of
India are starving for the want of a
crust of bread.
care you tired? Why fret about
it? Jacob was tired when he dreamed
of the angels of Heaven.
care you sick? Suppose you had
lived two thousand years ago when
sickness was fatal
"Are you poor? The Saviour of
Men was not wealthy.
"Cheer up! Praise God~that you
live in the midst of His blessings!
"Why fret?"

Jonesyille, s. c., November IL.
Well, the echoes of the late cleo
I ton are all that we people In the
South could desire, for one that can
remember the general elections as far
back as can, which covers period of
about sixty years. There is none that
{ has been more satisfactory to our
/, country than the present one. well
remember the first time 1 ever voted
: was in the election of 1860, when
Abraham Lincoln was elected the first
Republican president our nation ever
had and of course what followed is
well known to our people.
While we are all rejoicing that
I; Woodrow Wilson is elected president,
some of us are sad at the triumph of
the dispensary election in the county
1t seems that the "dog will return to
its vomit again and the sow that was
washed to her wallowing in the mire "
Another thing that pleases our
people is the rise in the price of cot
ton, but it came rather late for
much of the fleecy staple has been
sold at about eleven cents.
Mr.. j. w. Gregory and Hon. Mac
beth Young of Union were in Jones'
vifle last week on business.
Mr.. Geo. T. Gault of Kelton was in
Jonesville last Saturday and he
brought potato with him that he

Mrs. Porter and Mrs. McKissick are

days since from an extended visit to

Mrs. Addie B. Hames is visiting

two more appointments at Jonesville

Mr.. Thomson Eubanks, a Confed-

WOman's Hat of Pine Needles.

Savannah, Nov. 9.-Among the re-
markable exhibits at the state fair at
Tifton is woman's hat constructed
of pine needles. The hat is the handi-
work of a South Georgia minister's
wife.
Living in sparsely settled commu-
nifty where funds are scarce she was
put to it to secure proper head adorn-
nent. She purchased a spool OF
thread at an outlay of 5 cents and
uniting the product of the pine trees
at her door soon had hat that is a
marvel of beauty and the wonder of
all who have seen it.
The hat has taken first prize in the
woman's department. Besides the
thread a small piece of ribbon is the
only article of intrinsic value on it.

Suicide Among German Children.

Why do SO many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know, but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed, 1t has been said that
the majority of suicides are those of
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That "the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the discouragement of failure. It
would be interesting to know II any OF
the so-called heathen countries Of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that Of
child suicide.
