Did you eyer see a copy Of
Webster's Old Blue Back Spell

and mother and grandfather
and grandmother talk about
when they used to study the

days of the log school houses
and slab seats! It is the best
and most famous, and one OF
the oldest spelling books. We
believe every family in Pickens
county would like to have one
of these old spoilers. 1t would
bring back to the older people
many fond recollections OF
youth. besides being a valuable
book,

Taft Sends More Marines to Aid

REBEL UPRISING AT CRISIS
President Declares He viii Protec;
v. 8. interests in Central Amer
lean Republic at Cost Of
Sending Soldiers.

Columbus, o., Aug. 30.--The Nicara
guam situation is now in the hands Of
President Taft. Before starting for his
trip here on Wednesday, he held con
ferences with the secretaries Of war
and navy and the decision was reach
ed that the lives and property Of Amer.
leans in the Central American republic
must and will be protected at all haz'
ards.
The Tenth United States infantry
which was ordered from Panama to
Nicaragua, had been commanded to
stand ready for immediate transfer
from Colon to the coast of Nicaragua,
pending the navy departments search
for an available supply Of marines-
This supply was found and President
Taft rescinded his order.
From his private car in the Roches.
ter. ~ Y, yards the president wired
TO the acting secretary Of war to re-
call the order. A sufficient force OF
marines, the president said, would be
hurried to Managua, the Nicaraguan
capital, and Corinto. its principal sea
port, to Insure the safety of American
lives and property.
The president expressed the belief
that there will be more than 2,OOO
United States marines on Nicaraguan
soil by Tuesday.
A long telegram from the command
er Of the United States gunboat Den
yer, in Nicaraguan waters, declared
that the insurgent leaders, after haras-
sing the American marines In their
march to Leon. had given assurances
that they will open the lines OF com
munication from Corinto 10 Managua.
The Nicaraguan government Itself
asked for assistance from the United
States and stands ready to aid In open
ing the railway line from the coast to
the capital.
The president did not conceal his
anxiety over conditions in the Cen
trail American republic. In Managua
and Corinto and other towns the sit
uation Is not now especially danger
Gus to Americans. but in other parts
OF the country the revolution is not
in hand, and pillaging of all sorts has
been going on. The people OF Mica
ragua, the president was informed.
are sufferlnguntold horrors, and Amer
leans are suffering in many instances
with them.
Neither the state nor navy depart
ment wished TO see United States
troops ent into Nicaragua. The Gus
tom In similar cases haa been to land
marines. The president said that
while the sending Of a regiment Of In
fantry would not be an act of war he
would prefer TO use marines, II an
available force could be found quickly.
II he finds the situation critical later
he win not hesitate to use the army,
but he was hopeful that the insur-
recto and the government leaders win
see the futility of trying to make it
uncomfortable for American citizens.
