WEBSTER IS
Altogether FOR
UNDERWOOD
NO One ELSE DISCUSSED
Lane For Wilson But Comedies
Section to Underwood

Lawyers coming back from Preston,
where they attended the spring SEES
sion of the superior court for Web
ster county, brought back with them
the news that the only talk heard in
the presidential line among the citi-
zens of the county was in favor OF
Underwood
AS is usual, there was large gath
ering of the leading men of Webster
in attendance at the court.
THE only name practically, that
was mentioned was that of Under
wood" said j. B. Hudson, Esq, and
his statement was confirmed by the
evidence of other attorneys who came
in on the afternoon train. All agreed
that the trend of the political talk at
the courthouse clearly showed the
great hold that Underwood has taken
on the popular mind in Webster coun-
ty. The fact that Alabama had declar-
ed practically unanimously for its
leader as presidential aspirant was
received with every evidence of salts
faction and the feeling was strong
that Georgia should follow the exam
pie of its sister state.
Here in Sumter the opinion is also
daily gaining ground that Underwood
is assured this county and practically
all counties in this immediate Sec
ton.
81 believe Wilson is the best can
didate, in the sense that he is most
likely to be winner before the peo-
pie" said w. T. Lane, the we'll known
attorney yesterday, but | am free to
confess that while | will support Will
son the outlook favors Underwood i'll
this entire section of the state and
probably throughout the state. can
readily appreciate that the Underwood
sentiment is developing strength rap
idly. But while Georgia may, and
probably will, follow the example OF
Alabama and declare Underwood tc
be it's preference | am still free to
say that | believe that Wilson is the
most available candidate for the party
to nominate Underwood is a man
of fine capacity and undoubted expe-
rience and ability as a political lead :
err and statesman, but | cannot believe
that the North is vet willing to ac-
cept a Southern man. 1t seems,
though that be will have some SUB
stantial backing in he convention.
Georgia looks very much like send
ing an Underwood delegation"

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels

If YOU are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect a
cure and their tendency is to weaken
the already weak organs with which
they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guaran-
tee that it shall not cost the user a

ton and completely remedy constipa-
ton. This preparation is called Rex

Queer Audience Views Comedy.

the New York School for the Hard of
Hearing, created a singularly weird
Impression amongst those present
who were not familiar with lip read
Ing and the sign language. Words
were used, but they were not meant
to be heard, for the players and most
OF the audience were deaf. Cues and
clever lines alike were read, not
heard, and the lips of the silent speak.
ers were the media. Even the hand.
clapping, with which some of the
audience, unfamiliar with the conven.
tons of the lipo-drama, were prompt
ed to express their applause, was dis.
couraged by the knowing ones, who
seemed to manifest their approval by
an airy wave of the hand aloft. In
the longer play presented, pity was
taken uIon that portion of the audi.
ence which, though able to hear, was
30 1ll-equipped as not to be able to
read the lips Of the performers. So
In Many Slip 'Twixt the Girl and
the Lip" the lines were read out
loud, even though they were not
heard by any Of the members OF the
cast.

TALK ACROSS COUNTRY :
Possible Now to Connect From New
York to Denver-San Fran
cisco Next.
TRANSMITTERS ARE DELICATE

New York, April 3.-Through the
medium of delicately manufactured
Western Electric Instruments, it is
now possible to transmit speech
from New York to Denver, distance
1850 miles. Less carefully made
transmitters would fail utterly in
such a project In short time the
line will be extended to San Francis
co, when, if the hopes of the tele-
phone engineers, who are engaged in
the work, are realized, the dream OF
trans-continental telephone commun-
lcation will have come true.
During the past decade, the pub
lie has come to accept the telephone
as an every day sort of thing, good
for talking to someone else miles
away; but owing to the familiarity
which such continued speaking &C
quaintance has bred, has probably
never given thought. to the delicate
workmanship necessary to turn out a
transmitter which will really talk
we'll.
The transmitter, which IS found on
the great majority of telephones, is
made up of fifty-nine details or parts,
not including over $4,000 granules OF
carbon, which are encased in closed
cup and form what might be termed
the dynamo" of the instrument
Each detail of the transmitter is
made as farefully as the most deli
cate part of an expensive watch.
The average person, rarely deal
ing with dimensions less than one
eighth of an inch, will scarcely rea-
lie what it means to manufacture
very small parts whose dimensions
must not vary more than one-thou-
sandth (1-1000) of an inch either
way. -
