CHANGING Dress Fashions.

Woman's fashion in dress is al
ways a subject of comment and some
times the comments are far from fav-
orable. This is especially true just
now when many purists condemn the
present styles as "indelicate, "im-
modest" and "suggestive'. Although
such criticism is doubtless far too
sweeping, yet in many instances
there Is reason for it. However, it is
doubtful if the onslaught upon some
of the dresses now worn, in which
some well meaning people engage,
will achieve any results. Fashions
have a way Of being proof against
such criticism. The truth is, every
fashion, whether in dress or in any
thing else, has it's day and then gives
way to another that may be better or
worse. The hobble skirt and other
eccentricities in costumes, silly and
inconvenient as they are or were, are
in this respect no worse than the ec-
centricities of former days. They
ceased to be and they are known
only through old style fashion plates
ard illustrated histories, and such
will be the fate of present style; tha;
excite the wrath and ridicule of
critics. All the same one can but
hope that newer fashions, when they
appear may be of a more sensible
and attractive character. The fact is
the whole question of fashions N
dress and dress reform rests with
women themselves, but there is very
little prospect of lasting reform as
long as Paris dictates the fashions.

Makes a Good Start.

We have seen it stated somewhere
that sixty-ive per cent. of the sons OF
wealthy parents go to the bad, and
most likely that is about correct If
one may judge of what is to be seen
in Newport and other fashionable re-
sorts and in the records of the d.
vorce courts. Such a condition does
not speak we'll for parental example
End discipline. Fortunately there
are some rich sons who know how to
use instead of misuse the wealth they
have inherited. Vincent AStor seems
to be one Of them for he seems de-
termined not to lead the life of a
spendthrift but to use his wealth for
the good of his fellows. His plan for
converting his large estate in New
York into an experimental farm, the
results of which will be at the SER
vice of the farmers generally, is one
which, if wisely carried out, will be
of inestimable value to agriculture
and consequently to the consuming
public.

MCLAURIN FOR GOVERNOR.
Criticism Of the Marlboro Senator is
Resented.

A Columbia dispatch says that fer
mer United States senator Jno L. Nc
Laurin will be in the race for govern
or in 1914 is believed by those who
have been watching recent political
events. Mr. McLaurin has made no
definate announcement Of his plans,
but it is generally understood that he
will offer for governor Of next year.
Mr. McLaurin's criticism Of the Leg
islature, cas- the product of a campa-
ign conducted upon a low plane of
thought, nearly every man the pro-
duct Of a bitter factional fight. !"
brought forth a bitter denounciation
from Representative J. J. Evans who
denounces Mr. McLaurin stas cheap
demagogue and politician unworthy
of the support or thought or consid-
Grafton of Intelligent mea." He also
denounces him as STANDARD Oil De-
mocrat.'"
1t is believed that if Mr.. McLaurin
finds enough encouragement that he
will undoubtly be in the race for
Governor. He is at present State Sen
ator from Marlboro County.

MANY WE'RE MADE SICK.
Children Ate Ice Cream at Friends
Birthday Party.

Birthday Party.
A special dispatch to the Augusta
Chronicle says Wodley, Ca, was
thrown into furry of excitement
Monday night with doctors in demand
as never before. In the afternoon,
Mrs. Effie Moore had given birth
day party for her little daughter,
Myra Tanner, this being her sixth
birthday, and served ice cream which
had been ordered from Macon for re-
freshments. There were thirty-four
present.
About 8 o'clock the first call came
in for the physician, and in a few
minutes twenty eight Of the thirty
four were seriously i'll with ptomain
poison. DR.. Thomas DR.. Josey and DR.
Harvey Of Barlow were phoned for
and went Immediately to the assis-
tance Of the local physicians, and by
herocially working for the greater
part Of the night, relieved the suff-
.erings. Most of the children are up
this morning and it is believed that
all will recover.
The smaller ones we're the worst
poisoned, which it is thought was
because they were served first, get
ting the top of it.

GOVERNOR MAKES THREAT.
Blease Says He Will Put Columbia
Under Martial Law.

eff the Columbia police authorities
do not discontinue prosecuting my
negro chauffeur because they are
politically unfriendly to me, will
take over the police force and insti-
tute system Of metropolitan police,
and declare the city under martial
law"
The Columbia Record says this
statement was made to its reporter
by Governor Blease Monday after
noon. Monday afternoon at 2.05
o'clock a summons was served on the
Governors chauffeur, charging him
with exceeding the speed limit thru
Main street Saturday night at s:45
o'clock.
The Governor made the statement
because Chief of Police Cathcart
Monday afternoon ordered served up
on Harrison Neely, Governor Blease's
negro chauffeur, summons to ap-
pear in Police Court to answer to
the second charge against him of ex-
ceeding the automobile speed limit
as set down in city ordinance.

SEVENTY DOLLARS FOR MURDER
That Sum Was Paid to Have Uniou
Official Slain.

In a cell in the Tombs prison, New
York City, sits Harry Wagner, the
man who, according to his own con-
fession, shot and killed Abraham
Steinberg, business agent of the But
torhole Makers union. Near him III
the same prison are Max Orensteia,
Max Weisberg, Louis Weinstein and
Abraham Fiolkoff, wealthy contrac-
tors, charged with plotting the Ciur-
der, hiring Wagner for $500 to do
the job, threatening to railroad him
to prison if he failed, and then pay
ing the murderer $40 for his crime
and beating him out of the balance.
According to the district attorneys s
Office, the Staying Of Steinberg was
the result of one Of the most deliber-
ate, coldblooded murder plots ever
unearthe6 in the metropolis. 1t is
alleged the killing OF Steinberg,
which occurred January Z, was plot
ted months before this time, and
only was held up until a suitable man
could be secured to do the job.

spiderishly out from his Standard
Oil web at No. 26 Broadway. If you
will re-read Mr.. Roosevelt's 1904 re-
marks, delivered across the White
House mahogany to Mr.. Root, you
will observe that he expressed fear
lest papa" Scott had collected cam
paign funds from Beef, Sugar, Tobac-
co and Standard OIL.
Papa Scott" was Nathan Bay
Scott, and his home State, West Vir-
gina. He had always been Hanna
man, and never Roosevelt man. In
Baltimore speech in 1904-this was
just before the nominations-he had
spoken of the latter as "this man
Roosevelt, whom everybody is for
and nobody wants. But he had been
dining somewhat heavily, and Mr..
Roosevelt let this burst Of humor
pass without remark. Later, the hu-
morous Mr.. Scott assisted about the
Roosevelt headquarters.
The West Virginia 1898 Legisla-
ture, Republican and not Democratic,
as Mr.. Archbold had feared, elected,
Mr.. Scott-Mr. Roosevelt's papa
Scott-to the United States Senate.
There is nothing Of documentary
kind in the possession of this maya
zine to show how far Mr.. .Archbold
and Standard Oil forces in the Sen
ate elevation of Mr. Scott.
However, from Mr.. Archbold's in
stant interest in the business, when
he thought that the Democrats had
carried the State, as evidenced in
his letter to Mr.. Clark directing the
election of Governor Gleming, one is
free to assume that he had hand
in the Senate making of Mr.. Scott.
The two were on speaking terms sure
ly in 1904, when Mr.. Scott sent this
grateful wire to Mr.. Archbold:
Wheeling, West Virginia.
November 9, 1904.
J. D. Archbold,
26 B'way, New York.
Thanks to you and other friends.
we have West Va. by twenty-five
thousand state ticket safe, think.
935a N. B. Scott.
How tender, how touching, how
promptly loyal! West Virginia goes
Republican, and Mr.. Scott doesn't
thank the people. He thanks Mr.
Arch bold, Standard Oil, and "other
friends"

ROBBERS TORTURE WOMAN.
Tried to Make Her Tell Where Her
Money Was Hidden.

At New York robbers tortured Mrs.
Harry Jacobs, wife Of postal clerk,
by binding and gagying her Thurs
day night, and in her presence offer
ed a sixteen-months-old baby slice
of bread spread with poison, because
she would not reveal where she kept
her money, according to the story
she told the police. mod your head,
if you will tell u.s." one Of the trio
said to Mrs. Jacobs, as he held the
bread out to the child. The baby
knocked it to the floor. They repeat
ed the offer and the baby again re-
fused the poison. Abandoning this
effort the men searched the apart
ments. A pocketbook containing s23
was stolen.

Senator TiIlman and Other Southern
Senators Ask That He Be Allowed
to Go.
Another short session of the Unit
ed States Senate Tuesday to receive
and act on appointments made by
President Wilson brought a lull in
the activity of the Democratic and
Republican steering committee, !,
which had resumed work early Tues
day morning on the preparation Of
the new Senate committees. Re-
publicans had practically completed
their committee assignments, but the
Democratic managers were far from
through with their tasks.
Opposition to the confirmation of
DR.. C. P. Neill, reappointed by Pres
ident Wilson as Commissioner of
Labor Statistics, has developed
among Southern Democratic Sena-
tors, and threatened Tuesday to be
the first serious obstacle encounter
eu by the new President in his deal
ings with the Senate.
Senators Tillman of South Caro-
lima, and Overman, of North Caro-
lima, opposed DR.. Neilrs reappoint-
ment because of a report he made in
1911 upon conditions of labor and
the character Of women and child
laborers in the Southern cotton man
ufacturing States.
The Senate's session Tuesday be-
gan at two o'clock and no business
was in sight but the consideration of
appointments. A meeting of the
Committee on Education and Labor
to consider the appointment of DR..
Neill has been called for Thursday.
Several Democratic Senators have
asked that no action be taken on the
Neill appointment until the Senate
has been reorganized and the new
committees named. Senator Borah
said Tuesday that he would not take
the responsibility for such action.
but would submit DR.. Neills ap-
pointment to the committee as il
now exists.

Nearly every speaker of note who
save an address on Llncoln's birth
day, no matter what his brand of
politics, was sure that if Lincoln were
now alive he would belong to the
speakers own political party. All
this is very confusing to the average
man because he can not understand
how any man can, at the same time,
belong to half dozen political par
ties. To clear up the matter some Of
these people who profess to be in
constant communication with the
spirit world ought to get direct and
definite expression from Lincoln him
self. .

A Washington dispatch says per-
haps the most important decision
reached by the new administration IN
any of it's departments was the fu-

ment that present Republican ap-
pointees, regardless of how much
longer their commission might rum
would not be disturbed to make place
for Democrats except in case of inef-
fciency or neglect Of duty.

EACH HAS CANDIDATES FOR FED.
ERAL OFFICES
woods FOR THE BENCH
Till1nan Backs J. w. Thurmond and
Jas. T.. Sims for District Attorney
and Marshal Respectively, While
Smith Apparently Backs F. II.
Weston and j. A. Drake for Same
Offices.

The Washington correspondent Of
The News and Courier says under
date Of March II, at the time this
dispatch is sent, it appearts likely
that the South Carolina Senators will
endorse rival candidates for the posi-
tions of district attorney and United
States marshal Of South Carolina.
Senator Tillman Monday presented
to Attorney General McReynolds the
name Of Mr.. J. VIM. Thurmond, Of
Edgefeld, for the district attorney
ship, and will present in a day or
two the name Of Mr.. James L. Sims,
Of Orangeburg, for the marshalship.
Senator E. D. Smith is believed to
favor Mr.. Francis H. Weston, of Co.
lumbia, for the former place and Mr..
J. A. Drake, of Bennettsville, for the
latter.
If the Senators do not agree upon
two men, the Administration will
have to choose between their candi-
dates in each case. Senators Till
man and Smith both called at the
White House this morning at diff
ferent time and talked with Presi-
dent Wilson briefly.
The Senior South Carolina Senator
called on Secretary of State Bryan
also but would not say what for. 1t
is conjectured that the Senator may
have talked with MT. Bryan about the
situation in the Senate, where there
is a fight among the Democrats
against his having the Craftsmanship
OF the appropriations committee with
the outcome in doubt.
Former Governor John Gary Ey-
ans, President Henry N. Snyder, OF
Wofford College; Ralph K. Carson,
of Spartanburg, president of the
State Bar Association, and P. A. Will
cox, a prominent lawyer of Florence,
called on Attorney General Mercy
nolds Tuesday in behalf Of the can
didacy of Judge Woods, Of Marion,
for the vacancy in the 4th Federal
judicial circuit caused by the elec-
ton of Judge Nathan Goff to the Sen
ate from West Virginia. Both Of the
South Carolina Senators have en-
dorsed Judge Woods for this posi-
ton, and so has Congressman Rags
dale.
