REORGANIZE REVENUE SERVICE.
Collector f.. A. Aiken Will BE Trans
ferIpd to Florida.
tGreenville Piedmont, 20th.)


internal Revenue Collector e. A.
Aiken has been transferred to the
revenue agents division of Florida,
with headquarters in Jacksonville, as
4 result of the annexation of South
Carolina to the North Carolina dis
trict OF the department Mr.. Aiken
has hundreds Of friends in this and
adjoining counties who will regret to
learn Of his transfer. 1t is said that
Mr.. Aiken has already put in his ap-
pliCatiOn to be returned to Green
VILE. The reimbursement Of the ter
ritOry will have no effect on Deputy
Collector r. Q. Merrick, whose head
quarters are in Greenville.
\ correct account of the readjust-
ment Of territory is contained in the
following article from the Asheville
tN. c. Citizen:
"Internal Revenue Agent r. b.
Sans received notice from the COM
missioner Of the internal revenue de-
partment at Washington that the State
Of South Carolina has been transfer
red to the Asheville district Of the
department, and the officials Of the
local department will be required to
cover that State in future. The First
Congressional District of Tennessee,
|,
has been transferred to the Tennes-
see department.
THE rcadjustment Of the territory
in this district, OF which Mr.. Sans
was notified, will make this the lar
gest district, as to territory, in the
United States in the revenue depart
ment and will probably raise the
amount of work to the first place in
the country. The ASheVille district
for some time has held second place
for number Of Illicit distillcrieS seized
and first as to other work done in the
revenue department. The territory
in this district, since this readiuSt-
ment, will include all the land be-
tween the Potomac and Savannah
rivers.
Heretofore the Atlanta district
has reported to the commissioner the
largest number OF arrests Of any de-
partment in the United States. Since
South Carolina is the scene OF much
lilicit distilling and this State has
been placed in the Asheville district.
there is probability that Atlanta
Will be forced into second place as
TO the number Of arrests made.
one or the worst sections in the
United States for Illicit distilling is
tIIc oo-Cdllcu Dark corner OF South
Carolina. Several years ago when
this district included this State and
South Carolina this section Of the
Palmetto State gave the revenue men
more trouble than any other part OF
the territory.
mo notice Of an increase in the
force OF revenue men for this district
has yet been received despite the
fact that the territory mas been en-.
larged and the amount Of work will
undoubtedly be increased as a result
At present there are twenty-five dep.
nty collectors and special employees
under the direction Of the local de.
partment. Whether or not the com.
missioner Of the revenue department
at Washington will authorize an in.
crease in the force here Is MOI
known"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Descness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarr
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

CHAPTER XIV. In the Rain

THE trainshed of the old Union Station is exactly
an Elysian field nor a romantic paradise, particu-

gage trucks and backing locomotives, breastng the
floods of suburban traffic that were pouring in and
threatened to carry him clear from the vantage
point where he had chosen wait, getting half as
phyxated into the bargain in the low, drifting clouds
Of black smoke that the wet air this morning couldn't
float away, he wouldn't have traded it for any Ely

their bowers and garlands and dancing nymphs they
hadn't expectation of long train of

count on it too much. Pamela might have missed the
train Or perhaps the whole conversation he seemed to
remember well had been nothing but particularly

But there was the train, anyway And it was a long
one, long that the Plmans that brought up the
of it projected far beyond the roof of the she'd And

get off there. And she would get wet-because secure

guilty persons whose ressness had made this outrage

the road, who hadn't foreseen the calamity and built
station long ago.
A ND then he saw her, getting out of the last of
all. She had an umbrella. And a red-cap, who had
known better than John where to wait, taking her
bag from the porter. And now, as she turned away
after giving that porter his tip she saw John.
How it raining down! The redcap, possessed of

last tip, scrambled back into his But John and

they are fashionable.
Many more wells and other dress

ing than in former seasons. Each
year manufacturers Of fabrics in
crease their efforts to find stable
colors and methods of strong weav-
ing, for nearly all articles Of apparel.
All fabrics appeal more surely and
permanently to the buying public If
this item of standing the wash is
among their virtues. For cleanliness
is an essential of elegance. Women
have taken to heart the axiom that
to be elegant things must first be
clean The veil of fine meshed net
has widely scattered embroidered
dots and a graceful border made by
applying Renaissance braid and fine
cord. The latter Is chain-stitched by
machinery to the net. Such wells are
always in fashion, more or less, and
will last a lifetime. They sell from
fifty cents up to two dollars apiece,
as an average. The more elaborate
the border, the more expensive the
veil; therefore there are patterns
that cost more than two dollars.
Even at a higher price this veil Is
not bad investment since 1t may be
used as a fischu, or for trimming a
bodice or as founce. Two wells Of
this kind made a beautiful decora-
tion for a dressy waist.
