In some of the periodicals Of wide
circulation, we note advertisements Of
a southern Texas concern offering to
send a pound Of Texas grown Bermuda
onions, postpaid to any address in the
United States for ten cents. Consider
ing the heavy cost for advertising and
the great amount Of labor connected
with the handling Of packages Of this
kind for such an insignificant sum from
each customer, one is naturally dispos-
ed to wonder whether the undertaking
will pay. That is a question that the
advertising concern evidently desires to
determine for itself. 1t is hardly to be
supposed that the profit in view is
the small margin to be derived from
the sale Of separate pounds Of onions at
10 cents each; but it is evidently the
purpose Of the advertiser which is an
association of onion growers, to thus
create a demand among ultimate con-
sumers, so as to ultimately compel the
ordering Of the onions in larger quanti-
ties by local green grocers. However,
in it all there is a very good hint as to
the use that Is to be made Of the par
cells post.

At the suggestion of Prof. w. K.
Tate, state superintendent Of rural
schools, there is being promoted a
movement looking to the holding Of
public welfare conference in Colum-
bia to be composed Of representatives
from all the counties Of the state, and
to deal with all subjects that prom
ise progress and uplift for the people.
It is stated that the proposed confer
ence is to be non-political and among
the subjects that will be in order, If 1t
is held, will be matters pertaining to
rural credits, the schools. good roads.
the public health, welfare work, the
honest administration Of the laws,
and whatever pertains to the well-be-
ing Of the people. The idea is a good
one and much good can be accom-
plished by such conference, especial
ly If the people Of the state generally,
can be induced to give reasonably
free expression to what they are
thinking along this line.

As Seen In Japan.-The japanese,
press last Sunday, according to an As.
sociated Press dispatch from Tokyo,
expressed q general appreciation Of the
efforts of President Wilson In behalf Of
a land bill in California that would be,
unobjectionable - the Japanese.
Leaders Of public opinion in Japan
are advising that an attitude Of calm
ness be maintained in the present sftu-
alton. Such men as Baron Sibusawa
and Chairman Nakano Of the Tokyo
Chamber Of Commerce publicly assert
confidence that the American govern,
ment and people alike are opposed to
measures Of legislation.
They declare that every effort must
now be made to discover and eradicate
the root Of antagonism to the Japanese
in California in order that amicable re-
lations may be restored.
While the Japanese newspapers voice
these same sentiments, they blame the
government for what they term fail
ure Of diplomacy"
Special dispatches received from
telling Of reported plans
for the mobilization Of the Japanese
navy are read in Tokyo with ridicule
by those best informed on naval plans.

article saying that Mr.. Able had
burned his house in Saluda and Wag-
ner. Messrs. Perry and Satcher, cit
izens Of Saluda, said that they had
been reading the papers all their lives
and never saw an article In them
claiming that Mr.. Able was an incen-
diary. H. g. Crouch was called to
the stand and testified that he had
never seen an article in the Saluda
his houses in Saluda and Wagner. e.
W. Able, the next witness. said that
DR.. Gunter had never written an ar
ticle accusing him Of incendiarism.
On a direct question from Mr.. Sam
ders, Mr.. Able admitted that he had
gotten in some trouble about pension
matters and had been debarred. In
explanation, Mr.. Able said he had coll
lected pension for Mrs. Feagle.
war, and had gotten his fees from
her. Later pension inspector called
on him and found out that he COLI
lected this fee; that he had been in
structed to return It and had refused.
He was then debarred. The depart
ment of the interior, he explained,
collected all the fees and the attorney
was not allowed so to do; that his
action was under ignorance Of the
method Of procedure, that he was de-
barred on technicality In practice.
Mr.. Sims opened the arguments, con-
tending that the information had been
brought to the attention of the court
two years after It had come In the
possession Of the former attorney gen.
eral and he wanted to know why
this delay. He pointed out that Mr..
Lyon was an opponent Of Mr.. Evans
last summer and the charges were
made in a heated political campaign.
IF the complainant feels It his duty
to bring to the attention Of this court
similar charges made on stumps In
the heat Of campaigns by attorneys
running as candidates, then some who
have occupied high official positions
In the state and some who now oc-
cupy such positions, would be before
the court" said Mr.. Sims. He and
Col. Nelson in reviewing the testi-
mony held that no breach or fraud
ulent intent had been shown in any
Of the transactions Of Mr.. Evans
which had been brought to the atten-
ton Of the court. Solicitor Cobb said
II did not matter In what manner the
information had been brought before
the court or how long 1t happened,
but that 1t was before the court for de-
termination and decision. He review
ed the testimony at length from the
side Of the case and especially the
charges made against certain citizens
Of Saluda by Mr.. Evans In the Spar
tanburg campaign meeting. The case
was then taken under advisement by
the court.

Advice to LAWYERS.

The Daily Piedmont ventured to
quote the suggestions recently made
by Vice President Marshall in an ad-

it is all right for lawyer to give ad-

However it may not be amiss for a

this kind, not only for the benefit Of
