Big New Series of Detective Stories

A new writer of detective stories, who
within the last year has startled English
and American readers by producing all
entirely new line of stories of crime mys-
teries, ia about to be exploited by the
Sunday North American.
Sax Rohmer is the name of the new
writer, and the stories of the series relate
the battle of wits between Nayland
Smith, one OF Scotland Yards brightest
mystery s~olvers, and DR.. Flu Manchu, a
mysterious Oriental, whose resourceful-
ness and courage in the committing of
crime are enough to test the ability OF
the worlds greatest sleuths.
The Flu Manchu stories represent the
biggest thing in detective fiction since the
Sherlock Holmes productions. They are
absolutely new and altogether different
from any other detective stories ever
written. They will prove diverting to
! any reader of modern fiction, because
they represent the very best OF the nov
elites.
The first Of the series of ten stories will
be printed in the Sunday North Ameri'
can for October 9Th. adv

announced himself as the king of HO-

want work and are idle thru no fault of

hoboes in the country. We do not be-

Done before the advent of newspapers,
advertising was practiced thru the medium
of the clown Crier."
The crier was a ''human newspaper"
announcing matters of commercial interest
as well as happenings of the day.
When a progressive merchant of those
early days startled the business world by
employing a crier to ''cry" his announce
ments exclusively, it was predicted that
there could be no further progress in adj
vertising.
Look at the announcements of PeNns Groqc
merchants in this issue af the Penns GroUe

Nth the feeble attempts Of pioneer business
men to obtain publicity.
The old methods today, look like trying to

Abraham. an Inventor.

The University of Pennsylvania has
just discovered that it owns picture
of a plow invented by Abraham, cen
turies ago.
While plows undoubtedly were u.s.
ed before the time of this invention,
the Abraham plow is combination
plow, seeder and harrow, and, ac-
cording to the inscription on the pic
ture, three men were necessary to
operate it.
The picture was made upon a Baby
lonian brick, which was the custom
in those days. The apparatus had a
tubelike attachment into which the
seeds were pouder. A vessel above
the ground facing the frame of the
plow was used as receptacle for
the seed and then the harrow was at
tached to the back of the plow.
The Babylonians sowed and titled
according to Abraham's commands,
and with his invention they feared
neither the ravens nor any other
birds that devoured their grain

sons Liver Tone-Guaranteed to
Take Place of Calomel.

When your doctor looks to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying to
find out if your liver is working prop
erly. A few years ago doctors had
to prescribe calomel-there was moth
ing else to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has
practically taken the place of calomel
as liver remedy. Dodson's Liver
Tone is mild, pleasant tasting and
harmless which makes it fine med
icine for use when your children be-
come bilious and constipated. But
the most remarkable feature Of Dod-
sons Liver Tone is the fact that The
Peoples Drug Store who sells it.
guarantees it absolutely. The drug
gist will return your money without
argument if bottle fails to give en-
tire satisfaction.
Price, so cents. We suggest that
you get bottle today and have it
ready for the next member of your
family whose liver goes wrong.

SAVED FROM FLOODED MIME.
After Standing in Water to Necks
for 81 Hours, Men Are Got Out.

Elevth, Mimi, July 1S.- The five
men who were entombed at the
Spruce mine here Wednesday as a
result of a cloudburst, were rescued
last night.
The imprisoned miners were To-
Gated by their tapping on pipe which
had been drilled 40 feet into the
mine. After the first signals were
heard the work of excavating was
resumed with double energy and the
men were soon located and brought
to the surface. While they all suffer
ed greatly, it is believed all will re-
cover.
Amid scenes of wild excitement
the men were brought to the sur
face after having stood neck deep in
water for 81 hours.
Through interpreters the men, all
foreigners, told their story. They
heard the guards warn the men when
the water started rushing down the
shaft, but they drew back at the sight
of the swirling torrents. AS the wa
ter crawled up they were submerged
first to their waists and then to their
shoulders. Realizing their plight,
they attempted with picks and shov-
els to dam the drift. For time they
were able to stem the tide. By this
time the water was up to their necks.
Standing thus they waited for the
rescuers whom they heard Worllng
desperately.
When the rescue crew had blasted
to within 40 feet of them they made
signals which were heard by the res
cuers.
Relatives of the entombed men
broke down and cried with JOY when
the men appeared at the surface.
All of the Is men imprisoned We'd
nesday now have been recued.

Three wives are too many for any

make it worse, Mrs Davis asserts in
her petition, her husband would now
have four wives instead of three II
one of them hadn't happened to die
a short time ago. The other two
wives, Mrs. Davis asserts, were form
erly Miss Evie Whitten, of Atlanta,
and Miss Martha Mathaney, of Knox

CHARGED WITH HEINOUS CRIME.
Negro Arrested at Aiken Alleged to
Have Attempted Assault on Girl.

Aiken, July 21.-Venus Wallace,
15-year-olG negro, has been lodged in
jail, charged with having made an
attempt to criminally assault IA
year-old white girl, member Of a
prominent Augusta family, but who
has been visiting in Aiken for the
past several weeks. The attempted
assault occurred between and 8
O'Clock p. m. in an isolated spot on
the southern outskirts of the city
where the young lady and her 9-year-
old brother were walking. 1t is stat
ed that they met the negro as they
were returning home The little boy
sprang upon the negro and succeeded
in pulling him away, while the girl
screamed so loudly that the negro
was frightened and ran.
The frightened children hastened
to Aiken and reported the outrage to
the family whose guests they were.
The police were called in, and so de-
tailed and accurate was the descrip-
tion given by the girl of her assail-
ant that Chief of Police J. E. George
had Wallace lodged in the city jail
within the period of an hour after
the perpetration of the attempt. Both
of the children pronounced him to be
the assailant when he was forced to
confront them.
Nothing was known about the as
sault until a late hour this after
noon. The police and Sheriff How
ard managed to keep the news of the
assault a secret until warrant was
issued. Judge W. NJ. Smoak, at 5
o'clock this afternoon issued the war
rant and the negro was lodged be-
hind the brick walls of the county
Jail.

MILLION BALES FOR Is CENTS.
Plan to Hold Enough Cotton Out of
Market to Fix Price.

Market to Fix Price.
PIedging the cotton crop for the
purpose or holding it out of the mar
ket is part of the plan which South
ern growers are diligently pursuing
as a means of securing what they re-
gard as a fairer price for the pro-
i, ducts of their industry. Reports
made at Dallas, Tex, to the Conven-
ton recently held there under the
auspices of the United States Cotton
Corporation state that workers, act
ing as solicitors and actively engag-
ed throughout the cotton region to
pledge not less than 100000 bales by
the middle of September. Reports
from these so-called contract men,.
at the above gathering claimed that
this movement should have no diff
fculty in securing the pledges to
hold 100000 bales Of cotton out of
the market as a result of the seasons
campaign.
A speaker at this Convention said
that there were 100000 men rails
ing cotton whose families labor dur
ing long hours denying themselves
the comforts and simple enjoyments
of life because the commodity they
grow is valued by others than the
producer. A fair price for the farm
er, with the middleman eliminated,
| seems to be the end in view. Judge
William F. Robertson, in speaking
to the Assembly, containing many
officials of the Farmers Union, said:
The plan of handling the cotton in
market is antiquated, and the time
has come for a change. The corpora
| tion has come as the modern method
of marketing. The system has no
| more right to exist than the gam
bling houses that have been driven
from every law-abiding community.
The present method of dealing with
this great product of the South
| through exchanges managed and con-
| trolled by men who know nothing of
| this staple or it's multiplied uses,
further than to combine and fix the
price and control the crop; is no bet
ter than gambling in the other ways
that are condemned by law"
In this plan, on pledging the farm
er's cotton each solicitor is paid 10
cents for each bale he pledges. The
farmers put up 81 for each bale he
lists with the contract man or the
corporation. Cash it to be paid for
three-fourths of the price agreed up
on.
At the present price of cotton of
12 1-2 cents for spot, the farmer
pledging his products would get 9.37
1-2 cents in cash and 5.62 1-2 in
script bearing per cent. Special ef-
fort is to be made to insure the sue
cess of the plan in Texas this season.
Presiden George D. Wadley, of Bo-
lingbroke, Ca, is reported as stat
ing that European fnanciers have
put up s27,O0O,OO0 to be user for the
buying of cotton by the Southern
States Cotton Corporation, the money
to be available as fast as needed, and
to be increased as soon as the corpor-
alton shows that it can fulfill it's
agreement to supply the first 50O,-
900 bales of cotton to the spinner
