MRS. ". W. Lake
Tells Others How to Get Strong
and Well.

Mrs. ". W. Lake of Aberdeen,
Miss, says: The grippe had left me
in a weak, rundown condition from
which I suffered for some time. I
tried different remedies but nothing
seemed to do me any good until !
took Vinol, from which I received
great benefit. My cough is almost
entirely gone and I am strong and
well again, and I am glad to recon-
mend Vinol to others who suffer as ]
did"
Mrs. Lakes recovery was due to
the combined action Of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods Iyers
combined with the blood making
and strength creating properties OF
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vinol. and her cough disappeared as
a natural result.

Confederate Reunion
Largely Attended

Pickens county was held in Pick
ems last Wednesday, June 3, and
was attended by more than 100
hoarv haired heroes, besides a
crowd estimated at 1,500 to 1000
people, all of whom seemed to
enjoy the exercises of the day.
June 3 is the birthday of JEFF
ferson Davis, the only president
of the Confederate States of
America, and each year the loyal
ladies composing the Pickens
chapter. United Daughters of
the Confederacy, arrange a re-
union for the old soldiers on this
date.
At 10 O'Clock Capt. W. B. ALI
good called the veterans togeth-
er and they formed in line and
marched up Main street and into
the court house, led by the Pick
ems band and the Daughters of
the Confederacy.
A large crowd gathered in the
court house for the exercises.
Judge Mauldin presided, and af-
ter he called the meeting to order
Rev. D. W. Hiott was called up
on to offer the opening prayer.
Mr.. B. E. Martin, a native Of
Pickens county but now a prom
inent lawyer of Greenville. was
the orator of the day and was
then introduced by Mr.. Mauldin.
He paid a tribute to the leaders
and soldiers and women Of the
Confederacy and was glad that
many of them had lived to this
dav to see the South again tax
ing the leading part in the shap-
ing of this country's affairs.
Space will not permit a synopsis
of his speech. It was practical,
well-phrased and listened to with
close attention.
After Mr.. Martins address,
Mr.. R. T. Jaynes, of our sister
county of Oconee, was intro
duced and made a brief and
happy talk, which was well re-
ceived.
Judge Mauldin then read the
resolution which appears above,
and it was unanimously adopted
by a rising vote.
The meeting was thrown open
to the veterans for talks and
speeches, and several of them
made appropriate talks.
The meeting adjourned about
one o'clock for dinner. Dinner
was spread on a long table in
the court house grove and was
prepared and served by the
ladies and enjoyed by all who
partook Of it.
At 2.3O O'Clock the veterans
held a business meeting. A
resolution passed at this meet
ing appears elsewhere in The
Sentinel today.

work in arranging these meet
ings and for doing many other
things to honor the memory and

its people and traditions.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA
 SHORT COURSE IN MINING
Make This Feture at Early Date-Will Be Open to All
 Applicants.

The most distinctive progressive step forward ever made by a school of mines is claimed by Prof. Chas. S. Willis of the University of Arizona School of Mines at Tucson, in an- nouncing that the department, in f6e near future will conduct a short course of six weeks in mining that will be open according to Prof. Willis, ITO every one who can read and write''
 The most longed for and looked for educational opportunities that ever has been offered to the miners and those interested in mines in this state is this popular innovation of Profes- sor Willis.
 The object of the course will be the effort of the state university to cooperate in every possible manner with the industry that makes Arizona first among the mineral producing states of the union and to assist in countless ways to maintain it's justly earned position in the mineral world that has been the exposure of all eyes since the government made it's report placing the state first among mining producers.
 The course is to include twelve sep arate courses in the different branch es of mining, each course to be of three days duration. The separate courses will be chiefly along the lines of assaying, geology; elementary minerology, lithology or rock deter imitation methods of prospecting, and valuation, concentration kinks and cyanide kinks.

 How strong 8 land force is to be kept in the zone by the United States I believe has not yet been determined. It is generally admitted that the great est danger to the canal in time of war lies in attacks by forces that might have succeeded in landing on the isth- mus. AS a defense against this it may be that small army must be main tained in the zone, and 1t has been sug- gested that the towns of Empire and Culebra, instead of being destroyed because they are on the wrong side' of the canal, be utilized as quarters for the soldiers This would necessttate connecting them with the other side of the canal, where the Panama railroad has been relocated. by ferry, bridge or tunnel. No decision on this matter has been reached yet by the authorities.
 Meanwhile the army has not been neglecttng its part of the defensive work. For some time the Tenth in, fantry has been encamped in the zone and it's men, in small attachments, have been hiking" all over that part of the isthmus. The possibilities of landing a hostile force on the shores of both the Atlantic and the Pacific have been investigated, and also the

Culebra, c. Z.-"The strongest de fense of the Panama canal, in my opin- ion, is the fact that a hostile vessel must come into 50O-foot channel long before it is within striking distance of the vital points of the canal, the locks, and in doing so must pass within easy range of the forts that are being built to guard the entrances.''
 So spoke Colonel Goethals when I asked him as to the vulnerability of the canal in time of war Continuing, he said:
 "The naval power of the nations is so nicely balanced now that no one of them would be willing to risk the destruction of single battleship by attacking those forts, which will be equipped with powerful guns, and of course the accuracy of guns on shore is much greater than that of those on moving vessels. do not believe the forts would be attacked from the sea before the enemy had fought and won a naval victory"
 The forts of which Colonel Goethals spoke are nearing completion and the emplacements for many of the heavy guns already have been constructed No one not officially connected with the work is permitted to approach them, but venture to say that in case of urgent necessity the guns could be hurried down to the isthmus and mounted ready for emergency service within a very short time.
 Two forts protect the Atlantic en-
