Two hundred progressive citizens
representing a score CT progressive
cities of the State, gathered here yes
terday and organized the South Caro-
lima chamber IF commerce The key
note of the meeting,, which was signi-
f1vant in many ways, is progressive
cooperation" The organization, which
is made up of representatives from
practically every town IN the State,
will work for the advancement of
South Carolina along agricultural,

A board of directors was elected by

and stab in the back had pierced the

Late tonight the police said they
had definitely established the fact that
the attack On the girl was made in a
vacant apartment on the second floor
of house beside the lot in which the
girl was found.
Evidence in the bath room of the
apartment leads the police to the be-
lief that here Julia was murdered.
The bath tub was blood smeared and
on the floor were found quantities of
the girls clustering brown hair. But
with all these marks of the tragedy,
the police admitted that they had
found nothing which would indicate
who the perpetrator OF the, CRIME
might be- The murderer had placed
his little victims body in sitting
position in box two feet long and one
and one-half feet in clothing and cov-
cred the box with oil cloth. Then he
bore the child down to the lower hall
way out through the back yard, tossed
her into the lot, hid her clothing and
escaped.

FAMILY OF IS POISONED.
Fatal Fourth OF July Dinner-Some
Dead, Others Will Die.

Augusta, Ca, July 9.-It has just
developed that As people, all mem
bers of the Canady family, near Gar
field, Ga, were poisoned at family
reunion at the home of Mac Canady,
on the Fourth of July. Indications
were that poison was put in several
articles used in the dinner, since every
member of the family at the table was
a victim, and all of them did not eat
of any one particular kind of food
Last Saturday, Tillman Canady, one
of the brothers, died. Yesterday Mrs.
!Faircloth, daughter of Mac Canady,
and one of her children, died. Thir-
teen members of his family are Sc
riously i'll at the home of Mac Canady.
Ben Canady is in a critical condition,
and every member of his family is sick.
Appeal has been made to the city
hospital in Augusta for assistance, the
appeal stating that 25 members of the
Canady family are in a critical con-
dition. Four trained nurses, all the
hospital could spare at the time for
emergency calls, we're rushed to Sum-
mertown, and will be taken through
the country to the Canady home.
A long distance telephone message
from Garfield tonight says the total
number poisoned is forty-fve, of whom
the dead to date are: H. Tillman Cana
dy, Henry Covena, of Wesley, Ca;
Mrs. Faircloth, a daughter of Mac
Canady, and her child. Seven others
can't recover, according to the physi-
clans statements
The poisoning resulted from mixing
a seasoning containing black pepper
and vinegar in zinc tub and used on
barbecued meat.
The Canady family and connections
!are among the most prominent and
well-to-do people of Emanuel county.

Thoughts of Il Bachelor Girl.

Women may have originally been
mans rib; but from the way in which
he is arraigning and assailing her in
the newspapers nowadays she appears
to have been his bone of contention.
No woman wants her husband to be
a wonlan-hater, but she doesn't object
to his disliking them each, individual
ly.
A mans heart is not an organ, but
a pianola, which may be easily played
upon by any woman who knows the
combination and presses the right but
ton.
Let your husband put his feet all
over the furniture and his ashes all
over the floor and he will be blisSfully
happy and fancy himself master of
the house, even though he isn't al
lowed to say a word about another
thing in it.
If the average man would display
as much care and fastidiousness in
choosing wife as he does in choos-
ing a golf club or a pipe he would not
SO often wake up to find himself mar
ried to total stranger.
The summer girls lines are cast in
pleasant places; but all the good fish
ing goes to the 'stenographer whose
lines are cast in the unpleasant down
down Offices.
If there is no marrying in heaven,
at least a woman will be spared the
agony of having to fix over her last
years halo to make it look exactly
like this years Paris creation.
The man who is envied by all his
fellows is the one who is strong
enough to eat anything he likes with
out getting indigestion, clever enough
to do anything he likes without get
ting caught and ingenious enough to
flirt with any woman he likes without
getting engaged.
