Our Philippine Trade Doubles.

Trade between the United States
and the Philippine Islands more than
doubled in the brief period since the
enactment of the existing tariff law
which admits Philippine products,
except rice, free of duty into the
United States and domestic products
free of duty into the Philippines.
Imports into the United States
from the Philippine Islands in 1908,
the last year prior to the enactment
of the law in question, were S9,243,-
244 in value and in 1911 S2O,212,-
GIT, while domestic exports to those
islands were in 1908 s9,904,O97 and
in 1911 $20,S96,029, both imports
and exports having thus more than
doubled in value in the period be-
tween 1908 and 1911.
This increase in trade occurred in
practically all classes of merchan-
disc, but especially in sugar, cigars
and cocoanut meat on the import
side and in nearly all classes of man
ufactures and foodstuffs on the ex-
port side.-Exporters' Review.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Young Member OF Prominent Virginia
Family Found Guilty.

Bristol, Va, April 14.-Charles
Scott, 23 years old, and son Of H. H.
Scott, the latter proprietor of Hotel
Belmont and a wealthy citizen of Abb
ingdon, Va, is under conviction at
Titusville, Fla, on a charge of MUIR
der in the first degree as a result of
O. verdict rendered by the jury to-
day. The young man, whose family
is socially prominent in Virginia, is
charged with the murder of Lars Jor-
gensen, a fish merchant near Grant,
Fla, three weeks ago. The young
mans father and attorneys from Alb
ingdon have been at Titusville since
the formers arrest. An attempt to
get bail for him failed. The court
has not as yet imposed sentence, hav-
ing deferred this pending evidence
as to the sanity of the young man.
Jorgensen was murdered on a
lonely country road. Scott, who lived
alone and was managing his fathers
plantation near the scene of the muir
der. was arrested on circumstantial
evidence. Tracks near the scene Of
the murder led to the home of Scott.
The popularity of the tracks was that
a tap was missing from one of the
heels. SCOTS shoe fitted this descrip-
rion. Other circumstances caused his
arrest

BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Bamberg People Receive the Full
Benefit.

There have been many cases like
the following in Bamberg. Everyone
relates the experience of people we
know. These plain, straightforward
statements will do much toward re-
lieving the suffering of thousands.
Such testimony will be read with in
terest by many people.
Mrs. J. @. Adams, Main St., Bam-
berg, S. c., says: Nothing has
ever given me as much relief as
Doan's Kidney Pills which I procur-
ed several years ago at the Peoples
Drug Co. Kidney trouble made me
miserable for several years and there
was a steady, dull ache across the
small of my back. The kidney Sc
cretions bothered me and sometimes
I felt dizzy and unsteady on my feet.
The contents of two or three boxes
Of Doan's Kidney Pills restored me
to good health" Statement given
March 12, 1908.)
A Second Endorsement.
Mrs. Adams was interviewed on
January 26, 1911 and she said: II
have taken Doan's Kidney Pills oc-
casionally since I endorsed them and
they have always helped me. l still
value this remedy highly and you
may continue to use my former en-
dorsement of it."

Negro Shot by Pursuers.

Tampa, Fla, April 14.-Trailed
into a swamp by bloodhounds and
surrounded by a posse, Sam Arlene,
a negro, who earlier in the day shot
negress and killed G. M. Mcintosh,
his employer, broke through the first
Gordon of armed men and was fatally
shot by Sheriff John Logan, of Polk
county, just east of Tampa, this af-
ternoon.
The tragedy for which the negro
was hunted down occurred at the Nc
Intosh still near Bowling Green. The
negro and the negress, employed on
the place, quarreled and Arlene shot
her, .lficting a slight wound. McIn-
tosh, owner of the still, was called
by some of the employees, and when
he arrived at the cabin, where the
negress was shot, Arlene resented his
remarks about "quarrelsome ne
groes'' and shot him dead.
Bloodhounds were sent from Bar
tow, 21 miles distant, but when
Sheriff Logan arrived with the dogs
the trail was five hours old. The dogs
ran true, landing at a swamp only a
few miles from the scene of the
shooting. Here the negro attempted
to break through the posse and was
shot by Sheriff Logan. The negro
was taken to the Polk county jail at
Barlow and is dying.

pedient for raising the balance of our apportionment for missions consider able number of persons pledged them selves to earn and contribute 50c each, and to write poem describing the way by which the money had been earned. The entertainment con- sisted of the presentation of these poems. A supper was served from to 8 o'clock, About fifty persons were present. After all had partici- pated in the repast the program was presented Twenty three poems were r read, the reader in each case deposit ing the soc in the glass receptacle be- side him. A creditable number of those who read poems had written their own, while few secured the services of others. Miss Anna Brown acted as poetess for about half dozen persons It was interesting to note the large variety of ways by which the several parties had earned their contributions. Considerable amuse- ment was furnished by two readers whose poems contained but two lines or two verses. The pastor illustrated the opposite extreme when he let un- roll a manuscript three yards long, with production of thirty nine verses. He had earned his soc by saving up some wood After the literary program was finished the rest of the evening was passed in games and sociability. The proceeds netted about $15.

A Rouue Elephant,

In Big Game Shooting In Upper Burma Major Evans tells of a fla nous rogue elephant that had for some time terrorized the jungle and that had finally been laid low by a bullet from the majors rife. The author says: He measured nine feet seven inches at the shoulders and had but one tusk. That, however, was a beauty and
 weighed close to forty pounds. The other tusk had been broken off at the root, probably in a fight. I took a bunch of maggots as big as football out of the broken tusk. The poor beast must have endured agonies similar to q toothac he. No wonder that he had turned rogue! I believe that nearly every rogue elephant is suffering from some physical hurt or disease that causes him constant pain and turns him from an inoffensive beast into a savage man hunter" ..s...H
