MANY SALES.

The Independents job department
has turned out no less than fifteen
sets of sale Eills during the past two
weeks and seven more were brot In
Tuesday. This doesn't indicate than
our farmers are leaving, but it is just
an example of what they are doing
in the way Of going into farming on
smaller scale. Many a farmer BY
holding a sale can pay every oeat
he owes and have money in the baak.

r1icrobes in Your Scalp

Authorities say that . microbe
causes badness. II you are losing
hair try our remedy at our risk.
Professor Unna, Of Germany, and
DR.. Sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that mi-
crobs causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles. in time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. II
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.
We know of nothing that has
given such universal satisfaction in
treating the scalp and hair as Rcxall
'03" Hair Tonic. It has been de-
signed after long study to overcome
the cause of falling hair as discovered
by Prof. Unna, DR.. Sabouraud and
other scalp and hair specialists, and
We believe it will do more than any
thing else can to remove dandruh and
stop falling hair; and if any human
agency can promote new growth
Of hair it will do that, too.
We want you to make us prove it.

MAY BE IN THE RACE.
Speaker Smith Urged to be a Candi-
date for Governor.

The Columbia correspondent Of
The News and Courier says an inter-
esting development Of the session
has been the enthusiastic suggestion
that Speaker NJ. L. Smith should be a
candidate for Governor in the pri-
mary next year. The mastery han
ding OF the General Assembly by
Mr. Smith as Speaker this year and
during many previous sessions Of the
General Assembly has so impressed
many with his leadership that they
have urged him to enter the field for
governor. The suggestion is not, Of
course, confined to the members Of
the General Assembly, but is quite
general.
Mr.. Smith. In response to the many
suggestions that he should make the
race, is giving it serious considera-
ton, because if he should decide to
enter the field for Governor he would
only do so with the determination to
fight to the finish. Mr.. Smith is
man of unusual ability, and from the
time he was a brawny first-baseman
on the Citadel team until to-day he
has been a leader Of men. AS pub
lie speaker there are few men in
South Carolina who have his vocab-
ulary and forcefulness, and whatever
developments there may be in the
race for governor, M. L. Smith is to
be reckoned with.

NEGRO PARoLED CUTS ANOTHER
Reported to Governor Who Says the
Courts Are Open.

A dispatch from Chester says Jim
Lewis, paroled November 6, 1912,
during good behavior" was convict
ed here of assault and battery and
was sent to Jail. Hearing that the
negro was a paroled prisoner, Chief
Saunders Of the Chester city police
force looked up the records and
found that the man had been paroled
while serving a two-year sentence
for killing another negro. The chief
wired Governor Blease to see if the
parole still was effective and was in
formed that the criminal courts were
open for the prosecution Of the ne
gro.
The following kilograms were ex-
changed between Chief Sanders and
Gov. Blease:
"Cole L. Blease, Governor, Columbia,
S. C.
"Jim Lewis, paroled by you No
vember 26, 1912, drunk; convicted
assault and battery with knife this
evening. Please advise in regard to
parole.

"Chester, S. c., February a."
The reply:
"J. L. Sanders, Chief of Police, Ches-
ter, S. c.
"Your wire. Criminal courts op-
en- for prosecution Of Jim Lewis.
"Cole L. Blease, Governor.
columbia, February a."
Lewis, the cause Of the trouble,
was arrested by Officer Grant on low
er Gadsden street Friday afternoon
after having started an alteration
with a negro boy, the difficulty end
ing with the boy having to take to
the tall timber with several knife
slashes in his wearing apparel. 1t is
said he would have been killed had
he not run. Immediately following
the arrest Chief Sanders looked up
Lewis in the pardon and parole rec
ord, and found that while serving a
two-year sentence for killing Of Ben
Hall, also colored, Lewis was paroled
by Gov. Blease November 26, 1912,
during good behavior. Lewis was
released Saturday morning after trial
and conviction in the mayors court,
and the payment Of a fine Of $3.50.

JUMPED FOR THEIR LIVES.
A. C. L. Locomotive Smashes Into
Railroad Tricycle..

A very near serious accident was
averted near Efhngham Saturday on
the Atlantic Coast Line. Two line
men Of the Southern Bell Telephone
Company and a negro laborer were
en- a railroad tricycle., going with the
wires of the Bell Company, which
are strung along the railroad COM
pany's right of way between Flor
ence and Charleston.
The men were watching the wires
and not thinking of train behind
them. All of sudden they heard
the whistle of locomotive behind.
and as they turned to look saw one
of the monster freight locomotives
bearing heavily down upon them and
only a few yards away. The three
men quickly jumped for their lives,
and as they passed over the ends of
the cross-ties the locomotive struck
the tricycle., cutting it In half and
crushing it under its wheels, COM
pletely wrecking the tricycle..
The men were frightened out of
their wits for a minute, but were
glad to get off with no bones broken.
The train was stopped after the COLI
sion, but there was nothing to do but
report the accident, as no one was in
iured

HUSBAND WANTS A DIVORCE.
Says Wife Spanked Him With q
Board Containing Nail.

Because his wife spanked him with
a board in which there was a large
nail, J. A. Brown has asked the supe-
rior court to grant him a divorce.
The above is given in his petition as
a specific instance Of cruelty on the
part of Mrs. Lizzie Brown, whom her
husband says owns 27-acre farm in
DeKalb county.
Brown recites that the nail pro-
truded through the board, and when
he was struck by the board the nail
penetrated, the flesh to the bone Of
his thigh. He adds that if he had not
held his wife until he could get a
chance to get away he believes he
would have been more seriously in
jured.
The couple were married in Febru-
ary, 1908, and lived together until
August 25, 1911, when the alleged
spanking took place. The husband
says he was deserted by his wife.
He also claims that she made marrien
life impossible by violent temper,
and that she woulh fly into frenzy
without cause, and would curse and
abuse him.

DOES WITHOUT SLEEP.
But Enjoys Most Excellent Health
and Works Hard.

A dispatch from Boston says a
Harvard professor who has not slept
for 20 years but has taken his rest in
the twilight state" is the subject
of investigation by the psychological
laboratory of the University and the
State psychopathic hosital. The
twilight state" in hich the sub
ject retains consciousness is declar-
ed to be a scientific relaxation more
satisfying than sleep, restsring the
bodily vigor in about half the time
required by sleep.
The identity of the Harvard pro-
fessor is kept secret. Prof. Hugo
Munstereberg, director Of the pschol-
ogical laboratory at Harvard, who is
a personal friend of the sleepless ed
ucator, has made close study OF
his case. Prof. Munstereburg said
his experience showed that 1t is sc!en>
tifcally possible to sleep without
complete loss Of consciousness.
To assist in experiments at the
State pschopathic hospital on the
twilight state a special easy chair
has been constructed. 1t is described
as device to aid subjects to relax.

TRIED TO BURN CLAFLIN.
Negro Boy Confessed That He Had
Set Fire to College.

Wilbur Martin, a colored youth,
was arrested in Greenville for set
ting fire to a school house. 1t is said
the boy is a victim of pyromania:
Martin, it is alleged, has admitted
to setting fire to building of the Claf-
lin University at Orangeburg and the
Greenville case is the outcome Of the
recent fire at Union colored school
building in that city, of which the
boy was serving as janitor. The fol-
lowing statement issued by a mem
ber of the board of school trustees is
self-explanatory:
"On Wednesday afternoon, Janu-
ary 29 a mysterious fire occurred at
the Union colored school building on
Markley street, and but for the
prompt efforts of the fire depart
ment the large wooden structure
would have been entirely consumed.
AS it was the damage amounted to
about 5000, which was fully covered
by insurance.
cat a meeting of the Board of
Trustees a day or so after the fire
the committee on building, Messrs.
Mackey, Rowley and Wilson, was en-
powered to make the necessary re-
pairs and to Investigate in co-opera-
ton with the Chief of the Fire De-
partment the cause of the fire.
"The ianitor of the building, Will
Der Martin, the son of ]. c. Martin,
the principal of the school, was the
last person seen about the building.
He left the school short time prior
to the alarm. his father having been
in the building assisting in getting
the rooms in order for the next days
use.
sInformation came to the commit
tee from reputable colored men in
the city warning them about en-
ploying yong Martin as janitor
again. They stated that it was we'll
known among many of the colored
people of the city that during the
time Wilbur Martin was student al
Claflin University, this city, two years
ago, he was charged with and has
confessed to having set fire to build
ings of that institution on more than
one occasion.

SOME UNGALLANT BOYS
THEY ATTACK SUFFRAGETTES
WITH SNOWBALLS.
The Marching Ladies Would Have
Been Routed Had it Not Been for
Some Students.

The marching pilgrims bound from
New York to Washington in the
cause Of woman suffrage had their
first hostile reception since their hike
began at Lieperville, a small village
to the north Of Chester, Pa, late
Monday afternoon when they were
snowballed and almost routed by
crowd Of small boys.
A crowd Of cavalry from the
Pennsylvania Military college went
gallantly to the rescue, but the
young opponents of the movement
to rout and escorted "Gen." Rosalie
Jones and her "army" to Chester,
Pa, where they spent the night.
Prominent women suffragists from
Wilmington, Del, Joined with sympa-
thizers in Chester in giving the pill
grims reception of nature which
did much to make them forget the
hardships on their march from Phil
adelphia.
Despite the snow covered ground
all of the army managed to walk the
entire fourteen miles from Philadel-
phia and no desertions have been re-
ported. The trim appearance which
had been maintained by some Of the
younger marchers, however, suffered
severely. Miss Phoebe Hawn's shoes
gave way under the strain before the
/ Journey was half ended and the great
toe Of her right foot was in evidence
when Chester was reached.
Miss Crowell, who insisted opon
marching with painfully bllstered
feet, has won her the sobriquet OF
Minerva the Martyr" discarded
heavy tan marching shoes, which
have been the cause of her agony,
and appeared in a pair of light pumps
with high heels.
The pumps were practically dis
integrated at the end Of the days
walk and her feet were in worse con-
dition than ever. This fact, however,
Miss Crowell declares, will not pre-
vent her continuing the march.
The start from Philadelphia was
delayed by reception at the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania law school, when
thousands OF students gave the pill
grims a warm reception.

WEBB LIQUOR BILL.
Same as One Proposed by Senator
Tillman Long Ago.

The Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier says 1t is an
interesting fact that the Webb bill,
just passed by overwhelming MAORI
ties in both houses Of Congress, Is
practically identical with bill which
was introduced by Senator B. R. TILL
man January %, 1897, to divest ship
ments of Intoxicating liquor Of their
interstate character after they have
entered the territory Of the State OF
destination. A favorable report was
secured by Senator Tillman on this
bill from the Senate committee on
interstate commerce, February 8,
1897, but it went no farther. 1t has
taken the proposition sixteen years
to get through Congress. Now SEN
timent IS so strong for it that it's ad-
vccates believe they could pass 1t
over a Presidential veto.
