Animal curiesitx.

A cow will approach a new object fascinated. but with timorous suspi- cion, and horse is even more timid. gazing at distance for awhile, ready to flee in a moment. The monkey will snatch at everything that is new and deliberately examine it till, finding that he cannot eat it or mock mankind with it, he will drop it and let it pass from his shallow memory. There is a pathos in the slenderness of animal curiosity, it is so easily satisfied. The thought if thought it be, usually ends with the first flush of surprise and the impression of safety.

There has been tendency on the

the city by the sea-only it is on a
smaller scale.
1t has been the custom of the police
officials to raid the various places
about once month and the usual fine
of $40 was imposed. The fine is u.s.

the manager. and few. if any. of the
alleged managers ever appeared in the
city court TO answer the charges.

Executive Committee Chairman j. G

Spartanburg, August 3. CHAIR
man John Gary Tvans of the State
executive committee, received this
morning the letter of Governor Cole
l.. Blease, concerning the additional
ballots. The letter appeals to Mr..
Evans for $4,000 additional ballots
for the use Of Governor Blease on elec-
ton day, August q. Under a recent
ruling of this committee, no ballot
will be counted unless it is the official
ballot, furnished by the committee.
While Ex-Governor Evans has not
answered the letter yet, he stated that
the request Of the Governor would be
refused by the committee. Mr.. Evans
feels that If he has right to grant
such request to Governor Blease,
every other candidate for every office
would be in position to make the
same demands, and there is no telling
where the matter may end. Thus,
said Mr.. Evans, no ballots will be fur
nished any candidate. He added.
however, that the committee would
provide an ample number of ballots
for use on election day and that no
voter would experience any trouble
IN getting tickets.

"A SKIN trouble that Needs Scientific

You will treat that case of pimpIes

We advise using our new skin rem
sdy, Saxo Salve, which is very
soothing, yet penetrates the skin and
eXerts its healing power from the

Any pure soap may be used with
this remedy-just apply Saxo Salye
at night, following directions. Not
only does it clear the face of pim-
pies, but eczema and other angry
itching, scaly or crusted eruptions
soon yield to its healing power.
The marked and continual i'm
provement noticed shortly after the
treatment is eegun will soon convince
you that Saxo Salve is far superior
to any other remedy for the skin.
If YOU do not get good results
from 1t we pay back your money. De-.

PLACED BADLY
Tale of Friendship Forgotten
Is Told in Court by
Bandaged Victim
OF Assault
PRISONER Is HELD

When the case of Pau Snorax. a
Slayonian, charged with aggravated
assault upon Jacob Treeyon. a conn-
tryman. in a Lowell saloon last sun
day morning. came before the Justice
court yesterday. an interesting case OF
misplaced confidence was brought 10
light. Treeyon. the complainant, had
10 be brought from the c. and A hos
pital 20 testify. His head was swath-
ed In bandages and splints and he
probably wiz be blind IN one eye foT
life.
At an early hour last Sunday Jacob
'Treeyon with a company of friends
were having a hilarious time in one
OF the Lowell saloons Paul SpOrLN
was also there. Becoming a little
boisterous with an over absorption OF
liquor, Treeyon. playfully brushed the
cap of Paul Sporaz. whom he consid-
cred TO be one of his sincerest friends.
lie hardly thought at the time that
he was making a mortal enemy of a
man who had once shared his secrets
and enjoyed his bounty and his love
SpOraz at the time did not seem TO
object to the treatment he was re
ceiving from his friend, but when lat.
er Treeyon was pushed upon his
back across a pool table and was
wrestling with a man who was his
superior in strength. SporaX is al
legged to have seized a billiard cue
trace of the recent snow storm
Of his comrade. He missed, break
ing the smaller end and again seiz-
ing the cue, this time by the smalled
end, he is said TO have struck the
helpless man a fearful blow across the
upper part of his face.
Treevon bled from mouth. nose and
eyes and later, when he was taken
to the c. and 4. hospital, il was found
that his nose had been broken. his
cheek bone splintered and his eye
sight of one eye probably lost as we'll
as the hearing impaired in one ear
and other injuries of a serious nature
inflicted,
Treevon had been in the hospital
ever since the assault when called
yesterday and Immediately following
the trial he was taken back.
