Miss Maggie Moore, as postmaster.

as much as 12O feet frontage, for
prices at which they will sell the gov
ernment for postoffice purposes. While
It Is the general hope that this means
a public building at an early day, this
is not necessarily the fact. About the
best than can be said Is that the stu
alton is rather more hopeful.
There has been a rumor afioat for
the past several days to the effect that
the York county court house bonds

a telegram marked confidential" to
DR.. F. Y. Presley, secretary OF the
board of missions Of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian Synod, suggesting
that he order all missionaries Of that
church, out Of Mexico. 1t Is said the
message indicates that the state de-
partment feels American missionaries
in Mexico are In peril.
Wyatt Aiken, representative in con-
gress from the third district Of South
Carolina, wired the following this at
ternoon to the Anderson Mail:
1.-The United States consul at San
Luis Potosi, Mexico, has notified the
foreign missionary headquarters Of
the different churches in the United
States responsible for missionaries In
that section that they had better make
provision to get the women and chill
dren out of Mexico as early as possi-
BILE as II Ia unsafe for them to remain
there on account Of the activity OF sew
eral thousand armed rebels and guer-
illas. The state department will be
glad to transmit any messages to San
Luis Potosi for parties interested.
What the secretary Of state has wired
to the heads of the Associate Reform

Much interest centres In the fight
between Julian ]. Zachry and his wife.
Mrs. Mary w. Zachry, for the posses
sion Of their children. The home OF the
Zachry's is near Augusta. Ga. They
were separated recently, and their two
children were awarded to Mr.. Zachry.
Mrs. Zachry took the children and fed
to South Carolina, pending an appeal
to the Georgia supreme court She
went to Columbia and laid her case
before Governor Bleaae. Governor
Blease promised her that he would
give her all the rights that were hers
under the law. Zachry came to CO.
lumbia, issued out a writ OF habeas
corpus before Judge Ernest Gary. and
upon a hearing In Columbia last Fri
day, Mrs. zachry having produced the
children In court, presented the order
of the Georgia court giving him the
children Judge Gary decided that the
Georgia order must be obeyed. Mrs.
Zachry's attorneys moved that they
be allowed to give bond and keep the
children In the possession OF Mrs.
Zachry until the case could be appeal
ed to the South Carolina supreme
court. Judge Gary overruled the mo-
ton, holding that 1t would defeat the
object Of the habeas corpus act. Mrs.
Zachry declared she would die before
she would give up her children, and
she fought the sheriff and his four
deputies until she and her mother were
overpowered and the child was torn
from her arms by force. The child was
handed to Zachry, who took 1t In an
automobile and accompanied by an at
torney speeded away to his home near
Augusta. Governor Blease was at the
Filbert picnic, and could not be reach
ed until II was too late for him to take
effective action. On his return to Co
lumbla, however, he made requisition
on Governor Slaton of Georgia, asking
for the arrest Of Zachry on certain
criminal charges, including non-sup-
port, etc. Governor Slaton wired back
that he would order Zach
rvs arrest as requested.

to national banks, has grown fat and
wealthy at the expense Of the south

You fiippantly say: II suppose New

the price Of farm products when II
is to her advantage to buy them; and
mailipulates the cotton market by
selling hundreds of millions Of bales
of futures at prices below the cost OF
production in order that the scoun-
drelly brokers shall wax fat. New
York, under the Republicans, has
been the favored seat Of the money
power. Her bankers have manipula-
ted and managed the United States
treasury In Washington. Millions and
millions Of dollars Of government
funds have been deposited there with
out interest, And when the panic OF
1907 was manufactured-created as
1t were-by j. Pierpont Morgan for
q purpose and the business OF the
country was paralyzed because OF the
lack Of money to do business with,

millions Of dollars by the treasury

threw It into New York, ostensibly
as his own, lending II to men who
were threatened with bankruptcy.

do not know the meaning Of the word.

HAD PREM0NITloN OF DEATH
New Jersey Mans Fear of Coming
Disaster Laughed at by Comrades,
But 1t Was Verified.

John Hueselmans, superintendent
Of lumber yard in Harrison, N. j.,
started home after a day of intense
worry through fear of impending dis
aster. His premonition caused several
of the workmen to deride him. John
Bissell of Newark led in the scofiing.
As Hueselmans was passing 40
foot-high pile of heavy timbers Bissell,
who was at work on top, uttered a
warning cry and leaped to the ground,
As he did so the great bulk of lumber
swayed and toppled over. Hueselmahs

avoided the crumbling pile and landed
jdst beyond the timbers. The fall,
however, resulted in his receiving nu-
merous fractures and he was removed
in critical condition to ST. Michaels
hospital
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The pas.
sengers, many of them workmen on
their way home, rushed to the spot
and began moving the timbers. 1t was
half an hour before Hueselmans'
mangled body was extricated.

HOW COCA COLA REFREs4Es.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to its delicious favor" and still
others to the fact that it was the first in
the field of ''trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
in large part to its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Ccca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling-
worth of Columbia University and of
DR.. H. C. Wood. Jr OF Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf
feine-containing beverages coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use of
the latter is followed by period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton. thus resulting in the formation Of
a "habit."-Adv.
