every avenue Of employment shall
be open to women, and that this shall
not be construed to mean working on
roads or to serve on the juries of the
state.
Woman today Is given fair part
of her husbands property. In most
of the states when a man dies his wife
gets one-third of his wealth. They
make husband and wife share alike to
one-half of the property and fortune.
In the state Of Illinois a surviving
wife or husband Is endowed of a third
part of all the real estate OF which
the other dies possessed. II hus-
band or wife dies without their hay-
ing any offspring the surviving one re-
ceives In addition one-third Of the
personal estate absolutely.
If, however, there are no lineal
descendants, the widow or widower
receives one-half Of the real estate and
the whole Of the personal estate.
Some states, such as Colorado and
Mississippi, make no distinction be-
tween husband and wife. They have
abolished dover. II either husband
OF wife dies intestate without leaving
children or descendants the entire es-
tate. real and personal, goes to the
survivor. II there are one or more
children or descendants by this or a
former marriage the surviving wife
or husband has share Of both the
real and personal estate.
In most Of the states men and wo-
men are allowed the same freedom I'm
disposing Of their property. The law
usually reads as II she were single
woman. Where the law does not ex-
pressly declare this to be the rule 1t
Is generally implied IL there Is no pro-
vision to the contrary.
A married woman may make a will
where an expressed power to will sep
arate estate is reserved or granted to
her in the instrument creating her
estate or by a marriage contract In the
states Of Pennsylvania, North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Ken
lucky.
Industrial changes, especially for
women, have done much to change
and broaden the laws. The following
statistics are taken from the United
States bureau report: The number of
women employed in the United States
In the different occupations is about
4,S33,S40. About 68 per cent Of these
are under 35 years Of age. During
twenty years the number Of women
employed In the different occupations
has doubled. Out Of the 303 occupa-
tions listed, women in the United
States are employed In all excepting
nine.
The same advance has taken place
In education. In 1890 girls were al
lowed to go to school two hours
day, in the afternoon, during the
summer months, providing there were
enough boys absent to make room.
Now girls are allowed in every gram
mar and high schools in the Union.
There are few colleges and universe
ties that still close their doors to wo-
men.-Chicago Tribune. ,r,-.,,

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
Maybe the People Will Get Their Man
And Maybe Not.

Among the Democratic candidates.
1t may be said that Woodrow Wilson's
strength is his weakness. Because he
Is admittedly the strongest candidate,
there is danger that the other candi-
dates may combine against him to
prevent his getting the necessary two
thirds vote, knowing that at least one
of the smaller candidates would profit
by the big candidates downfall. The
professional politicians in the party
those who believe in spoils and in "re-
warding friends" and who therefore
dislike Woodrow Wilson's policy Of
considering the public good rather
than the claims Of party workers
these men will doubtless prefer to raj
ly to an easy-going and rather color
less candidate like Champ Clark. But
while Mr.. Clark is "from Missouri"
so are the people; and II they ask to
be Shown" they are likely to find
that he Is by no means the big man he
has recommended himself to be. In
a recent speech in Pennsylvania he
took great credit to himself for the
splendid leadership Of the Democratic
party in the house, when as matter
of fact, every well-informed man
knows that the real leader Of the
house and the man who deserves the
credit is Oscar Underwood Of Ala
bama. Speaker Clark is really little
more than a handsome fgurehead.
AS Representative Nicholas Long
worth declared the other day:
"As an amalgamator Of opposing
opinions, as a trainer and master Of
discordant and ordinarily utterly un-
manageable elements, the renowned
Prof. Hagenbeck is child compared
to the gentleman from Alabama.
When he pipes his colleagues dance.
I will go further and say that when
he pipes they not only dance, but they
lie down, roll over, and play dead"
1t is said on high authority that the
great brewing interests, not only Of
Missouri but also Of Wisconsin, are
backing Clark because Of their oppo-
sition to Woodrow Wilson's friendly
attitude toward prohibition. Nor
should 1t be forgotten that Speaker
Clark. in his. ambition to curry favor
with the old soldier vote Of the north.
specifically ordered the clerk to call
his name in order that he might be re-
corded as voting in favor Of the dis
graceful Sherwood "do!lar-a-day''
pension steal against which the con-
science Of the nation has revolted.
AS one Of the ablest Washington cor
respondents declared the other day:
while Mr.. Clark might prove
available in. the convention, independ-
ent observers believe he would prove
the weakest Of all the Democratic can
didates. II chosen as the party nomi-
nee."
In the Oklahoma convention neither
the supporters of Mr.. Clark nor those
of Governor Wilson were able to Sc
cure a majority and the delegation
was equally divided between them

CHAPTER XXXII.
The Raft 4oain

Yancy and Cavendish threw them
selves on the sweeps and worked the
raft clear of the keel boat, then the
turbulent current seized the smaller
craft and whirled 1t away into the
night: as it's black bulk receded from
before his eyes the earl of Lambeth
spoke with the voice of authority and
experience.
1T was a good fight and them fell

enough" conclusion that could not
be gainsaid. He added. "No one amt
hurt but them that had ought to have
got hurt. Mr.. Yancy's all right, and
SOS Mr.. Carrington-who's mighty
welcome here" The earl's shock of
red hair was bristling like the name
of some angry animal and his eyes
still flashed with the light of battle,
but he managed to summon up an
expression of winning friendliness.
"Mr. Carrington's kin to me, Polly
explained Yancy to Mrs. Cavendish.
His voice was far from steady. for
Hannibal had been gathered into his
arms and had all but wrecked the
stole calm with which the Scratch
Hitler was seeking to guard his emo
tionS.
Polly smiled and dimpled at the
Kentuckian. Trained to romantic
point of view she had frank liking
for handsome stalwart men. Caven-
dish was neither. but none knew bet
ter than Polly that where he was
most lacking in appearance he was
richest in substance. He carried scars
honorably earned in those differences
he had been prone to cultivate with
less generous natures: for his scheme
of life did not embrace the millen-
mum.
Thank God. you got here when
you did," said Darlington.

HOW TO CURE PORK.
Satisfactory Plan Of Fayetteville, Ark,
Man.

Prof. H. S. Mobley, Fayetteville,
Ark, has used for years a system Of
curing meat that has been followed
with success in his family in Virginia
from generation to generation since
colonial days. 1t has been tested by
hundred Of people in many southern
states, and every one has found 1t more
reliable for home curing than any
other method. Prof. Mobley furnished
his method to the agricultural depart
ment of the Rock Island lines for dis
tribution.
A day should be selected for killing
when the temperature Is low enough
to insure a thorough cooling by the
following morning. the hogs being
dressed and hung over night.
On the morning Of the day the hogs
are killed, for each 40 pounds Of meat
make a brine as follows: Twenty gal
Ions of rain water, 30 pounds Of salt,
s ounces of baking soda, 10 pounds OF
brown sugar, gallon Of molasses (use
good molasses, not the adulterated
kind). This fluid should be boiled and
SKINNED in the morning and left to
cool in a shady place. When COOL
add ounces of saltpeter. Dissolve
the saltpeter in warm water and stir
thoroughly.
The following morning cut up the
hogs as usual, and pack in barrels.
Put the sides of the meat or mid
dlings in the bottom and skin side
down. Weight the meat down we'll and
pour the brine over until the meat Is
completely covered. Then cover the
top of the barrel with some good
thick covering that will prevent evap-
grafton.
Look at the meat often enough to
see that the brine has not evaporated
so as to leave any meat exposed. II
it should become exposed, more brine
should be added. The meat can be
left in the brine indefinitely, but II
it Is desired to smoke the meat, 1t
should be taken out in about six
weeks.
If our southern farmers will use
this method and cure their own meat
at home, thev will save a neat sum
each year.
If it has been your custom to put UP
the supply Of family meat by curing
1t with dry salt, and you do not care
to risk all Of 1t by another method,
then try a barrel or two, using the
above plan, and compare the results.

will you let me share your every sor-
row after we are married?" she whis-
pered as she cuddled her cheek
against his.
Yes, darling" he replied, again
plucking a delicious kiss from her
sweet lips.
1t was the same lady who two years

Of trouble with you? I'm so sick Of hear
ing about how hard you have to work

The State Warehouse Commission

Frankly, we don't think very much
of the three commissioners elected by
the legislature to have charge Of the
state warehouse system. AS the Hon.
Jno. l.. McLaurin was the originator
of the scheme and drew the bill, 1t
does seem that the legislature would
have done him the honor Of making
him chairman of the commission, es-
pecially as he is one Of the largest far
mers in the state and a most energetic
and capable business man. Yet his
name was not even mentioned In con-
nection with the place. OF course the
election of Messrs. McCown. Clink-
scales and Horlbeck may turn out all
right. and we hope 1t will.-Bamberg

SAD OCCURRENCE NEAR SORRENTO
Aged Man, Accidentally Shot, Died
Alone i'm the swamp

very sad death occurred here last
Saturday morning when William T.
Rocks, an old Sorrento citizen, was ac-
cidentalIy shot while hunting. He and
a nine-year- old grandson had started
out before daybreak, had driven to the
edge of the swamp near what is known
as Brantley's Island, and leaving the
horse and buggy there, were going
afoot to their destination on the island.
They had walked about a mile when
the gun that the child was carrying
became caught in the underbrush, re-
leasing the spring and discharging the
full load into the grandfather's leg,
almost completely severing ii at the
knee. At the time they were fully
four miles from the nearest habita-
ton, and after cheering up the little
grandson as much as possible, Mr..
Rocks kissed him and directed him
where to go for aid. After a hard
walk through woods and swamp the
boy reached the home of b C. Wilcox.
from which men were dispatched into
the woods to find the dying man. and
the sad news telephoned TO Sorrento.
From the nature of the wound it is
certain that he could have lived but a
short time after the shot. The body
was brought as soon as possible TO the
home in Sorrento.-Eustis Lake Re
