CHICORA REMAINS
IN GREENVILLE CITY
Bethel Presbytery "Turned the Trick"
in the City's Favor

Ch1cora College, the Presbyterian
woman's college of the State, will not
be moved from G~reenville to Laur-
ems. This was made certain yester-
day when the Bethel presbytery,
meeting at Fort Mill, voted yesterday
against the proposed change Of loca-
ton. The consent of five Of the seven
Presbyteries in South Carolina was
necessary before the institution could
be moved. Three Of these have vot-
ed against removal and one in favor
of it, therefore even should the re-
naming three vote for the change
there would be but four favorable
votes and the college could not be
moved without at least five.
The Pee Dee P~resbytery was the
first to vote. 1t met in Dillon county
last week and voted for the college
to remain in G%reenville. South Caro-
lima P~resbytery which me- Wednes-
day at Donalds voted in favor of the
change, and on the same day Pied
mont Presbytery voted against the
change. The three which have not
met are Charleston, Enoree and Har-
mony. The first two named will meet
at McClellansville and Spartanburg,
respectively on next Tuesday. Har-
mony will meet sometime during the
week following.
The trustees of Chicora decided
last summer to leave the final dis
position of the proposed change to
the seven Presbyteries. The trustees
decided to take up no final action on
their own authority, though at a Sec
ond meeting they voted to rescind a
decision of the first meeting which
would have moved the college to
Laurens.-Greenville News.

ABOUT THE PARCELS POST.

The following is a statement Of tho
provisions of the parcels post act

sion. Considerable interest has been
manifested in the operation Of this

postoffice, will prove Of interest:
That hereafter fourth-class mail

ducts, not nov embraced by law in
either the first, second or third class,

CURED for transportation and deliv-
cry.

CANCER DUE To
LACK Of POTASH
Disease Caused by Methods of
Preparing Foods, Declares
Physician.

LONDON, Aug 24.-"The treatment
for cancer is easy for any doctor who
is qualified to administer castor oil and
to perform a surgical operation" said
DR.. Forbes Ross, lecturing at the Eus-
tace Miles Restaurant on "Cancer-Is
the Problem Solved?"
He argued that the disease was due
to the deficiency of potassium salts in
the body, owing to the popular Gus
tom of pouring away the juices of cook
ed vegetables which contain potash and
other valuable natural salts.
while lime, magnesium and sodium,
he said, are to be found in practically
every form Of food, potassium was often
absent, and the English fashion of cook
ing results in people eating muck
minus minerals.
Fifty years ago 500 women and 200
men per million died of cancer and to-
day the figures are 1000 and 500 re-
speCtively.
The savage never suffers from the
disease, nor did the negro and other
native races until they began to cook
in white man fashion. Food ought to
be cooked conservatively and eaten
with the natural juices.

SUEZ CANALS RATES
WILL BE REDUCED TO
EQUAL PANAMA TOLL

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA rate
war, which might involve all the mari
time nations of the world and which
would revolve about the Suez and Pan
anna canals, is predicted in Washington
by officials who have watched the de-
velopment of world interest in the Pan
anna canal bill now awaiting approval
Of President Taft.
According to the report that reached
the state department, the directorate of
the Suez canal has decided to reduce
rates through the canal
In official circles this notice was re-
garded as the first retaliatory step
against the free tolls provision for
American ships through the Panama
canal
The announcement of the proposed
reductions through Suez appeared in
inconspicuous notices in American
newspapers. The notice which aroused
SO much interest was to the effect that,
after the first of next year. the transit
dues in the Suez canal will be reduced
so centimes, bringing the toll for load.
ed ships down to 6.25 francs.
This is the precise equivalent to the
$l.25 maximum tolls which the Panama
canal act presCribes for vessels passing
through that waterway.

MAIL LIMITATIONS
ON THE DECREASE
New General Delivery Rule
Causes Many Girls to Drop
Secret Love Affairs.

Flirtations by mail have taken an
PRODUCTION of a series of questions
which are asked every person who calls
at the general delivery for mail.
For number of years the postoffice
corridors in Atlanta and in other cities
have been thronged with girls who were
carrying on clandestine correspondence
and who had their letters directed to
general delivery in order to evade the
watchful care of their parents. Post
masters all over the country com
planned of the matter, and among the
first to take up it's correction with the
postmaster general was Postmaster H.
l.. Mckee of the Atlanta Office, who
finally received authority to compile a
series of questions to ask each appli-
cant for mail.
This plan recently was started and
the series of questions included the age,
occupation, street address, name of
parents, in case of minors, and a spe-
cific reason for using this window.
THAT last question, a specific reason
for using this window, has proved a
feazer' to many girls, and especially to
the younger and more innocent ones"
says D. c. Cole, assistant postmaster,
who is in charge in the absence of
Postmaster Mckee.
Many of the girls have succeeded in
giving answers so that we are COM
PEELED under the postal laws to deliver
their mail, but the clerks tell me that
numbers Of familiar faces have dropped
from sight This is especially true of
the younger ones, and that is the kind
we want to reach. We want to stop
them before they get too far from out
of their parents influence

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Senator r.
NJ. LaFollette >in an editorial in his
weekly today again scores Roosevelt,
This time it is in connection with the
publicity campaign contributions In
,eferring to Roosevelt's speech of Au-
gust delivered in Chicago LaFollette
says:
He called his speech his Confess
sion Of Faith Much interest would
have been added by making 1t also a
confession of FACTS, pertaining to the
contributions to his campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination.
The public knows that he spent an
enormous amount Of money in that
campaign. In some states, as in Ohio,
for example it has been estimated that
not less than 100000 was expended to
secure delegates for him. Go where
you would through this country in that
campaign, it was common talk that
there was all kinds of Roosevelt money
everywhere
1T is generally believed that his
money was in large part the unlawful
spoils of trusts, which thrived by spe-
ciaI favor at the expense Of the people
under the ROOs evelt administration

tude are made by those who have pig
interests to serve. They are practical

return.

locating these disposal plants they
were located SO near the city that

duction pipes were placed at such
high level that large part Of the

All Of this means that before the
city OF Atlanta can get a satisfac-
tory sewer system it will be forced
to adopt the modern double sys-
tenn, separating the sanitary sewage
from the surface water.
With these great problems before
it, the city should employ an expert
engineer capable Of handling the
situation, TO direct the work, and,
If proper selection is made, the
city win be saved many times the

The present officials seem to be

some action is taken along the lines

Wicked Assault
On Dead Man.


He now says that Mr.. Bliss warned
him that he was making a serious mis-
take in not contributing the extra
amount of money and that later on
when the administration began to deal
with the Standard Oil people, Mr.. Bliss
said it would have been different II they
had done as he asked him.
This is an assertion that Mr.. Bliss
was deliberately trying to blackmail
the Standard Oil Company into con-
tributing by scarcely yelled threats as
to what would happen If they did not
contribute, and that Mr.. Bliss, In ef-
feet told them afterward that II they
had contributed the administration
would not have proceeded against
them for violating the law-for this
was all the administration did.
This is a wicked assault on a dead
man whose high standing and problty
was such that no human being who was
himself honest would ever impute evil
motives to him. Mr.. Bliss was incapa
BILE of conduct such as Mr.. Archbold
mputes to him. And I can not too
strongly denounce the baseness Of max
ing such an attack upon an honorable
man who is now dead and whom Mr.
ArChbold never ventured to assail while
living.
Moreover Mr.. Archbold shows per
fectly clearly, as published reports say
that his corporation had contributed in
order to get value for its gift and that
the gift was made with the expectation
of receiving improper consideration.
II do not for one moment believe
that Mr.. Bliss made any such remarks
to Mr. Archbold. as Mr.. Archbold says.
For example, Mr.. Archbold states that
he and the late H. H. Rogers visited me
at the white house and that | then re-
marked to them that there had been
some criticism about campaign eontri-
buttons This Is a falsehood. Neither
on that occasion nor on any other occa-
sion was one word said, either by me to
Mr.. ArChbold or by Mr.. Archbold to me
about campaign contributions.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-08-24

Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Archbold called
on that occasion to protest against any
government action being taken against
the Standard Oil Company. This was
one of a number of calls which Mr..
Archbold made on me to try to prevent
acting against the Standard Oil Com
pany by the bureau Of corporations un-'
der the department of the interior and
by the department of Justice II Mr.
Archbold had really believed that Mr..
Bliss had told him that l knew Of any
contribution by Standard OIL or had
felt that he was jeopardized by having
refused to make a contribution, or was
entitled to immunity for having made
one, he would certainly in one of those
calls have said as much. He never
preached the subject
