,RicheSOn Went To
His Death BraVely,

Boston, May 21.-The misshapen
body of Clarence V. T. Richeson, who
was executed just after midnight for
the murder Of q cast-of sweetheart,
will be- claimed by his sbrether, Doug
sias, today and probably taken to Am
herst courthouse, in Virginia, for bur-
ial. Before the young murdersr's
body is turned over to the brother, it
will be placed under the county physi-
clans knife for the legal autopsy.
That the brain of the electric chairs
victim will be given to medical COL
lege is denied by officials.
The execution of Richeson is de-
elared to have been the most success
full witnessed in the death house since
the institution of the chair. It was
necessary to apply the current only
once and less than fifteen minutes af
ter Warden Bridges and the party Of
witnesses left the prison Office for tie
death house they dled back and at
tached their signatures to the papers
stating that the order of the court had
been complied with.
After his collapse of last Friday, it
had been feared that Richeson would
not be able to stand the final strain,
but on the way from his cell to the ex-
ecution chamber his steps did not fall
ter and he answered the questions as
to his faith in God put to him by his
spiritual advisor, without flinching.
It was nearly daylight before the
last of the morbidly curious who had
hung around the prison gate through
out the night departed In pouring
rain more than a thousand people stood
outside the prison walls for hours
awaiting the word that the execution
had taken place.

The State Convention.

The State Democratic Convention
met in Columbia last Wednesday and
elected delegates to the National DEM
ocratic Convention, which meets in
Baltimore. John Gary Evans, of Spar
tanburg, was elected State chairman
to succeed Gen. Willie Jones, Of Co.
lumbia, who has held the position for
sixteen years.
The meeting was at times stormy
due to the Blease and Anti-Blease spir
it, but as the opponents of the gov
ernor were largely in the majority, it
was practically useless for the follow
ers of the executive to attempt to get
before the body.
Governor Blease was o1 erwhelming-
ly defeated for delegate to the na-
tional convention.
Woodrow Wilson, Of New jersey,
was endorsed for the presidency, but
the convention refused to instruct the
delegates for Wilson.
Col. J. Brooks Wingard, Of Lexing-
ton, was elected district delegate.
The convention that night elected
Senator B. r. Tillman, Senator E. D.
Smith, R. I. Manning Of Sumter and
John Gary Evans of Spartanburg as
delegates at large to the national
Democratic convention. Gov. Cole L..

SUMMER FOODS OFTEN q
CAUSE DYSPEPSIA 4
Their Effect on the Digestive
Organs Responsible for Many
of the Seasons Ills. Z

Summer should be the period Of
perfect health but impure water and
milk, unripe fruit and the tendency
to indulge in acid foods and iced
drinks, produces a contrary condition
in many people.
The effect of the average summer
diet is to constipate even normally
regular bowels. and this results in
disarranging the entire digestive sys-
TEN. When the bowels are choked
with the stomachs refuse, indiges-
ton is almost sure to follow. and the
waste matter that should pass out
through the bowels, not finding pas
sage, ferments in the stomach and the
polsons are forced into the blood
causing much distress and often Sc

To keep the bowels free, there is
no more effective remedy than DR..

RAPID PROGRESS OF
DOUBLE TRACK WORK

San Francisco.-Th contract for
the construction of fifteen mi'es OF
second track on the Southern Pacific
which will connect the towns of
Truckee, California and Reno, Ne
vada, has just been awarded to the
Utah Construction company. This is
the latest part of the construction of
a second track on the Hartman lines
between Omaha and San Francisco.
Already hundreds of men are employ
ed in clearing away underbrush along
this stretch of fifteen miles. Camps,
military in appearance, line the track
and few people travelling over the
line realize just what a stupendous
job this fifteen mile stretch will be.
A large part of the proposed double
tracking of the Southern Pacific has
already been completed. Between
Sacramento and Colfax the second
track is already in operation. The
laying of the second track from Be
necia to Sacramento, distance of 5S
miles, is completed with the excep-
ton of eight miles between Webster
and Washington. This stretch of
eight miles involves the raising of
the roadbed across the Yolo Basin
and the rebuilding of approximately
two miles of bridges. 1t will prob
ably be completed about the first of
October and there will then be a
double track the entire distance be-
tween Oakland Pier and ColfaX
Between the Oakland Pier and Port
Costa the second track has been in
operation for some months. From
the Pier to Richmond the company is
operating four tracks continuously A

track has been laid and is being OPP

Sees Again Familiar Sights OF Venice
In Series ON Dedication OF the
Campanile and Is Moved to Tears.
Rome.-The great Consistory Hall
of the vatican, the scene of last years
historic pageant for the investiture of
the new cardinals, was strangely
transformed recently when moving
picture show was held for the pope's
benefit, of the recent dedication of
the Campanile at Venice.
1t is common talk in Vatican cir
cles that the pope left his heart in
the city where he spent so many years
of his ministry, and much of his ill
ness of last year was ascribed to con-
tinued fretting, which no amount OF
self-discipline could effectually con-
quer.
The first moving picture show held
in the Vatican is the outcome of the
pope's strong yearning to see once
more the scenes SO familiar to him.
1t was a strictly family affair, the
guests being limited to the popes
three sisters his nephew and a party
OF intimate friends from Venice, with
whom Plus Y had formerly been as
sociated in his work Some of them
had taken part in the ceremony and

At the close the pope expressed re-
gret that no phonograph record had
been kept of that portion of the itur-
gy, which he had specially prepared
for the chants composed by Perosi,
the celebrated director of the Sistine
choir. The pope asked for a repeti-
tion Of the films, but was reminded
that they could not be finished by the
closing hour of the vatican. "Then
that settles It," he remarked. and
punctually to the time the guests left
and the great bronze doors of the
yat.an closed for the night.

Many people suppose there Is no
cure for hay fever. and think, once
one has had an attack, they must suf-

more fortunate seek relief in cooler

ton worse by using strong snuffs,
powders and sprays.
There is no need of your. being a
victim of this disease any longer,
and you don't have to run away to
escape it either. Just get a fifty

BOY SCOUTS TAUGHT TO

Sir Robert Baden-Powel, Chief
Scout of the British Boy Scouts con-
stantly brings before scoutmasters the
idea of specializing Is to say,
of training a troop In some particular
branch of scout work for which the
boys and their surroundings are suit
able. In English towns there are
"missiononer" troops, which syste-
matically visit sick people, arrange
me-centers for children, and do all
they can to brighten the lives of slum
dwellers All round the coast can be
found troops of sea scouts" who
spend most of their time IN practising
sailors work, while there are ambu-
lance. cyclist, signaling, and many
other Specialist troops.
There are now troops all through
the country which make a speciol
study of fire-brigade work, and in
many cases they own fire-escapes,
| fire-engines, and other appliances,
which they are taught to handle by
experts. An excellent example Of a
