EMPLOYEES
WANT PENSIONS.

Washington, D, c., April 4.-The
much discussed plan to establish a
pension fund for the benefit of the
civil service employees of the Federal
Government is likely to be given con-
crete form as the result of a confer
ence which was opened in this city
today. The conference, which will
continue two days, is attended by rep
resentatives of every department of
the Government service. The chief
task is to agree upon a plan that will
be Just and equitable to the Govern
ment as we'll as to the employees.
Some are of the opinion that the pro-
posed pension fund should be sup
ported entirely by appropriations from
the Government, while others favor a
plan which provides for a fund sup
ported partly by Government appro
priations and partly by deductions
from the salaries of those to be bene
flied.

THE sERPENT's CURSE.
(From Southern Sentinel

Press reports from Jackson say that
former State Senator w. w. West, of
Perry county, is now an inmate of the
penitentiary, having been sent up for,
embezzling funds collected for his
clients, in the practice of law. The
fall of Senator West is a sad story.
He entered the senate in 1898, then
about rs years of age, large, tall and
fine looking. He brought with him to
the capital his young wife, a bride Of
two years, a woman of intelligence
and charming beauty. West was
either a drinking man when he came
there or soon acquired the taste for
drink and his daily habit was getting
drunk. He went from bad to worse
and during the secret caucus" Of
1910 he was kept SO thoroushly soak

Menance to Health
Constipation at Bottom of Most
Serious lIIness-Avoided by
Simple Remedy.

Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. 1t is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond it's time without
vitiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches and nervousness with it's
accompanying Indigestion and sleep
lessness. There is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trouble;
and when nature seems unable to do
find the best of all outside aids a rem
edy that many thousands are now
using for this very purpose, called Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Many hun
dreds of letters are received by DR..
Caldwell telling of the good results
obtained, and among the enthusiastic
letters is one from Docia Wood of
Little River Academy, North Caro-
lima, who suffered with constipation
and Indigestion so badly that she
could not sleep we'll at night and every
thing she ate distressed her. She
writes that after her mother had CIV

SMOOTH THINGS.

1t is the fashion of the day to think
lightly of sin. Sin is regarded as
mistake and misfortune rather than
guilt. Sinners feel that they are to
be pities rather than blamed, and are
comforted in the matter. There is an
impression that God rates sin as light
ly as sinners themselves do. 1t is
said that gospel means good news,
and purely good news, and that for
everybody. There is danger No de-
ception is crueler and more pernicious
in its efforts than the raising of false
hopes in the hearts of evildoers. He
that hath ears to hear let him hear

important matters In Wilmington In
long time. discussed the plans un-
der consideration. notably the Purdy
and Somcrs systems of assessing and
recording property. Tho members OF
the board are anxious to have the
work begun as soon as possible and
finished by the FIRST OF the next year.
II was decided TO have the Somers
people submit In writing all their
representative said verbally.
Although several members favor the
Purdy system. but az least one member
Of the board "a OF the opinion that IL
would be much better to allow the
Somers' people to make the assess

expert lines. rather than for the city
TO employ local people to aid one or
two men from the New York ASSESS
ment office, In making an assessment
under the purdy system. II rs claimed
that an assessment made by outside
people would be more equitable and
give hetter satisfaction. II is argued
that they would know neither friend
nor foe. No definite conclusion has
been reached, however.
One Of the FIRST things the board will
have done Is the drawing Of tax maps
of the entire city. which work Will
probably be done by the Street and
Sewer Department engineers. These
maps will show the city's real estate

While the Joint Building Commits
sion is awaiting the court action over
the sherin's jury awards for the block
bounded by Tenth Eleventh. King and

spread in favor of the Winchester
property as a site for the million dol

reason advanced in behalf of the Win
chester block is that IL is practically
level. and a building on it might be
more imposing than on the King
French street block because of the
sharp grade from King TO French
would give the structure one story
less on King than on French street,
