Washington, May l2.--That the
tariff will be the one, big, outstand-
ing issue In the coming presidential
campaign is conceded by the leaders
Of both parties in Congress. Whether
the Republicans name as their
standardbearer President, Taft.
Theodore Roosevelt or some dark
hors4" and the Democrats pick Gov.
Wilson, Gov. Harmon, Champ Clark
or Oscar Underwood, whoever he is
he must be prepared to tackle this
issue and sQuarely face the people,
il he would expect to land winner
in the White House. This issue, it
is conceded, will transcend the de-
sire of any candidate TO apoid it.
1t is also generally admitted that
the candidate who stands III closest
sympathy with the wishes of the
people on this vital question Will
most likely be the next President OF
the United States, be he Democrat or
! Republican III the will of the mass
es is for general downward revision,
if il calls for a deep cut into those
highly protected tariff schedules out
of which have grown the power OF
the trusts, then it would seem that
, the chances of Democratic victory
next fall are brighter than Repub-
lican. In short, the Democratic can
didates in this respect stand in less
danger of having their armor pierced
than do either President Taft OF

 The matter of q name for the new rOOming house has hung fire so long, it is really necessary that some decision be made, and as we can not find among the many names submitted, one that con veyS the sentiment desired (yet all of them, without exception, are very good oncS), we will adopt a patriotic sentiment by calling the new rooming house "Thc GIiff," after tn, little mine that has been the salvation of inc town. of course the block will naturally be generally known as the Cliff block. however the name "'rhr Clif" will really be and refer In the r,,nming house upstairs.

Sano for Sultan.

Mulai Hafd, the ex-Sultan Of Moroc.
CO., while staying at Vichy, in France
made an excursion to Les Ardoisieres,
says the "Matin," where Napoleon Ill
used often to go for rest. Three young
girls, sisters, timidly approached the
Sultan and asked him to sign post
cards. Mulai Hafd consented on con
dition that they would earh sing q
song to him. Two of the girls at
once complied, and the delighted Mu'
lai Hafd wrote on their cards words
which, translated, mean: Like Ma
poleon III, I have visited Les Ardoi
sieres, where I have enjoyed, together
with the calm and freshness Of ma,
ture, the grace and charm Of the
voices Of Miles. Pauline and Clio
tide" The third girl did not know
how to sing, but one Of her sisters
having sung for her the Sultan added
the name of Gabrielle.

That question has puzzled poultry
fanciers for u~nnumbered decades, but

I'll solved by a woman. She is Mrs.
Sarah Erickson of F%alconer, N. Y.
Having kept chickens for 81 years,
she believes she qualities as an expert
in this line of effort.

bands, trap nests and alarm clocks at

that a hen lays an egg at the same
hour, minute and second that she was
born, or, rather, Matched. For In
stance. If the hen happened to be able
to peck its way through its shell at
7:43 a. m, she will lay an egg at pre-
cisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this
without variation every time she Is In
clined to lay. I have kept close, sys-
tematic watch on my hens for five
years, and I have never known the
rule to fail"

which after batting would weep and

BELIEFS ARE QUEER
Spanish Wedding Is Ruined II one
Person Appears Entirely in Black
Some Other Signs.

In Spain the wedding is spoiled II
one of the guests appears entirely In
black, or If the bride looks into a
mirror after orange blossoms and veil
are fast in her headdress.
When a persons hair ends split, It's
taken by the superstitious for a sign
that she Is either a witch or has been
bewitched. AS blond hair splits more
readily than dark hair, all witches,
spirits and sorceresses have blond or
red hair, according to the standard OF
art.
On the marriage eve there is often
much good-natured rivalry between
the groom and the bride in the SlaV
countries as to who shall blow out
the candle, for the person who does
will be first to die" 1t is impossible
to trace the origin Of this superstition,
yet it prevails In ~aristocratc society
as well as in the peasants hut, even
as like this, that "to insure the life
and health of the children" the wom-
an must occupy the right side Of the
bed. In addition, she must not smoke
before her forty-ffth year.
There Is a superstition in this coun-
try and many others against burning
a broom. The bud Of birch broom Is
used in Southern Germany as a pre-
yentive against erysipelas. These
buds, a piece OF yellow wax and some
other articles are enclosed in a pink
silk bag, secured with red silk and
worn on the back of the neck. The
person must change his shirt every
Friday.

NAMED
CONVENTION CITY
THE NATIONAL AGRONoMY So
GETTY HAS BEEN INVITED TO
THE CORN SHOW.
CONSIDERING THE INVITATION
The Annual Meetings of Many Other
Organizations Will Be Held in the
States Capital City in Connection
With the Exposition.

Columbia.-Along with other meet
ings of important national organiza-
tons during the Nation Corn Expo
sition here next January and Febru-
ary, it seems probable that the
American Society of Agronomy may
also hold it's annual session in Column
bia at that time. officers of the So
ciety are in communication with the
MANAGEMENT of the corn exposition
with regard to a place on the pro-
gramme, and they report that the
majority Of the members throughout
the country seem to be in favor or
holding the meeting in connection
with the exposition. The matter Is
now in the hands of the society's ex'
ecutive committee, and it is prob.
able that a decision will be announc-
ed during the next few days.
The science Of agronomy is devoted
to grain improvement. The Ameri-
can Society of Agronomy includes in
it's membership agronomists of the
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations throughout the United
States. The president Of the or
ganization is R. W. Thatcher, director
Of the experiment station at Pullman,
Wash. Writing to the exposition
management he expresses the view,
that it seems to be the feeling
among the members that the next
meeting should be held with the corn
exposition.
Several organizations of import
ance, have fixed upon Columbia, at
exposition time, for their next annual
meeting. Prominent among these are
the American Breeders Association
and the American Berkshire congress.

When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his W case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many Of his patients because he
was benefited by 1t. He says:
81 wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. I have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over Is
years, and a part Of the time was un-
able to attend to my business.
81 was a moderate User Of coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe it to the change from coffee
to Postum.
Il am prescribing it now in cases Of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
when made right 1t has a much bet

sustainer Of the system. 1 shall con

The release of G. Moye Dickinson,
who killed w. Paul Riley, has been
the only notable development since
the inquest. Dickinson, who surren-
dered after the killing, was released
on $4,000 bail, granted by Judge
Hayne F. Rice at Aiken. At the in
quest the testimony did little to dispel
the shroud of mystery which has
hung over the tragic death of one Of
Bamberg's most popular business
men. The testimony related to the
manner of the killing as seen by

Funds to Purchase Battlefield.

A movement is on foot in Lancas-
ter county to raise money to pur-
chase the historic spot which was the
scene of the massacre o. Col. Buford's
force by Col. Tarleton during the
American Revolution. The idea is to
purchase the ground and to present
it to the Daughters of the American
Revolution, who have expressed their
willingness to accept it and to care
for it, and in time to have a fitting
monument erected to mark the spot.
A small monument already stands
there, erected in 1858.

A young man who had never testi
fed before was called before the court
as a witness in a certain case. He
was somewhat fustered over the at
tention that was being paid him, and
mumbled his words so that the young
woman s~tenographer could not hear
them distinctly. He was told to speak
plainly and to turn toward the stenog
rapher.
Speak to the s~tenographer," said
the prosecutor.
At that the young man arose and
with a deep bow to the lady said
How do you do?"-Satire.
