NO NEW DISTRICT
FOR THIS STATE
Project for South Carolina Slipping.
Not Enough Business.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The States
correspondent had Information today
from source which Is believed to
be entirely reliable and trustworthy
that there viii be no new western
district of South Carolina, as con-
templated in bills recently offered by
Senator Tillman and Representative
Aiken, and that in all probability the
last has been heard of this new dis
trict matter for long time to come
The reasons which are believed to
havc brought about the present sit
uation arose from the fact that the
department of justice is said to have
made careful and painstaking inquiry
from high sources as to the feast
bility OF authorizing this new western
district and that the information
given by those to whom appeal was
made was to the effect that there was
not business enough in the proposed
western district to justify it's crea-
ton at the hands of congress. Most
of the federal business in South Caro-
dina, it is said. arises i'm what would
DE the eastern district; there are no
admiralty cases i'm what would be the
western district, and the latter would
be left to try almost altogether viola
tons Of the internal revenue laws.
This Is said to have been one Of the
reasons which the department of
justice found to initiate against the
plan OF creating an eastern district.
1t will readily be seen that with
all of the most important business
OF the federal court to be handled in
the eastern district. there would be
little left for the western district 10
do, except, as stated, to give atten-
tion to internal revenue cases. An
other reason assigned is that should
the new district be authorized it
would result in the salaries of the
district attorneys and the marshas
being materially reduced
While the salaries of these officials
are fixed in the new bills now pond-
ing at $4,000 year each 1t is said
that should the bills pass it would
result in Il cut and that neither the
district attorneys nor the marshals
would receive the amounts mcutiun-
Gu In other words, two district at
forneys would not receive $4,000 a
year, and two marShals would not re-
ccive similar Hmoutn. This is one
OF the reasons said to have been given
10 Attorney General McReynolds
why the Stn,e should remain as il is
now, with but one district
This info mation will doubtless be
received by many persons in Soutl
carolina with considerable deSrcn OF
surprise. Among the members Of
the legal fraternity who haze watch
ed the matter closely it VIII doubles;
not be acceptable news to learn that
unless present plans are changed.
South Caroline will continue with b.t
one district, as now constituted.
These two reasons are said 20 have
been satisfactory to the department
oi justice, and The States informant
was OF the opinion that in al rrob-
ability, as stated, there would I've no
new district, at least at this tine.

If you have children to edu. cate; if you are interested in re- liglous matters; if you own a home or other property in your community, you should patronize your local merchants whenever practicable. It is to your inter- est to do this.
 Of course there are merchants in every town who will not carry standard lines and who expect their customers to buy their un- known goods at standard prices; however, there are progressive merchants in every locality who handle brands that are sold everywhere at uniform prices, whose quality is known to all who read and keep up with the times.
 Trademarked Advertised mer chandiSe always offers maximum values and can be secured in smallest towns to as good advan. tage as elsewhere.
 No manufacturer will put his name and trademark on an arti- cle and then spend large sums of money advertising it unless his goods come up to his claims in every respect.

C0n1nunifD Cooperation


A town, to be good" town, must have good stores stores that handle large assortments and offer the sames values and styles at the same prices asked elsewhere,
 Good local shopping facilities, however, depend entirely upon the extent of patronage accorded merchants by community con- sumers.
 Those who live in the smaller towns often say they are forced to shop elsewhere, because their local stores do not carry the specific articles they want. If these people would make their wants known to their home mer- chants, in nearly every case, these merchants would supply them.
 Bear in mind that a portion of every dollar spent in your local stores applies to the building and maintenance of your schools, churches, good roads. streets  and sidewalks-in fact, every i'm provement that goes to make your community attractive from every commercial and social standpoint.

GOVERNOR FUTRELL
 ISSUES FEW PARD0NS

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-Acting Governor J. M. Futrell was about the stingiest chief executive, the the issuance of pardons .being considered, the State of Arkan- sas has ever had. In the five months he held the office he is, sued l5 pardons, only two of which were outright. The bal ance were conditional upon the continued good.behaviour Of the convict.
 By this method Gov. Futrell has robbed several towns of tie state of their best liquor selling talent. He has either reformed them, or they will go back to prison to serve out. long,. sen tences. Of the 15 pardons is sued between April 16 and July z, four were to liquor peddlers. They had all served a good DOT tion of their sentences when the pardon was issued. with the un. derstanding that if they ever again violated the state laws, back it would be to the prison walls for them. The promise oi these men to obey the law is counted for more than the pun. ishment would have resulted in, had they been forced to complete their sentences.
 Six of the pardons were grant ed to boys, all signing an agree ment to go and sin no more This gives the boys a chance tc enter the world and regain the reputation they have lost. Al were model prisoners. One forger was pardoned, one mar was pardoned in order that ht might receive back a fine he ha6 paid for violating a law whicl was declared unconstitutional another was granted pardon oI a pistol carrying ~h- e.
 no ''''' served months on a coun dy farm; another received a par don on a manslaughter sentence after having been out on parol, for several years, in order that he might take a sick wife to hel parents where she could be vel provided for; and the other par don was granted to a negro wht received a sentence of Fl years for carnal abuse, and had served 10 years of it on the State Farm when the law limits a sentence for this crime to five years.
 This is the pardon record o1 Gov. Futrell. It might have been twenty times as great had he not turned deaf ear to hun dreds of petitions he deemed tC be without merit.

FRIEDMAN CURE
 REFUSED BY BOARD

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Unless they act of their own accord, none of the patients of the Ark ansas Tuberculosis Sanitarium will be given the Friedman treat ment by the physicians who are now in the state administering the serum.
 When the physicians came to Arkansas, announcing that the serum would be injected into all who applied, many patients of the Sanitarium naturally ex. pressed a desire to take the treatment. The Board of Trus- Atees was notified of this request and held a special meeting in Little Rock to go fully into the matter.
 When the decision of the Board was reached, pr. Stewart, the head of the state institution informed the patients that the treatment was not approved by the trustees and without mur- mer the patients accepted the wishes of the trustees.
 One of the trustees stated that the situation was a delicate one, for if there is merit in the alleg- ed cure, it would seem cruel on the part of the directors to deny the patients the hope of getting g well.
 The trustees went into the Friedman cure in order to pro- tect the patients and this in- fuenced their final action. It was pointed out that the United States government is more inter: ested in this one disease than all others, and will be the first to recognize a cure VI onen one comes, but the government has drowned on the Friedman cure, and has advised those afflicted with tuberculosis not to spend their money upon it, consequent. ly the trustees thought they would be best in protecting the helpless patients at the sani- tarium by advising that they ig. nore it for the present.
 Soon after the decision from the Board of Trustees, the phy- sicians left Little Rock, though tley would have gladly gone to the state institution and vacci- hated every patient there with the serum, for tbe prestige it would have given them in other parts of the state.
