The majority of the homes of Rock
Island, any many homes in Davenport
and Moline, are equipped with silver
ware that came from Ramsers. I'm
equivocally we assert that you will not
be able to find finer or more assert
ed line of silverware any place in the
tri-cities than at Ramsers. Forty-four
years of dealing in this line has shown
us what is the best, and the people who
are using Ramser's silverware today
know positively that its wearing quail
ity and general all around usefulness
Is unsurpassed.

Use This Pen

Rannser's
Watches
Supreme

Few dispute the supremacy of RAM
ser's watches. This house is the loca-
ton of correct time, indicated by the
fact that we are inspectors for the c.,
R. l. & P and c. B. & Q. railroads and
general inspectors for the Rock Is
land Southern. Most railroad men
wear our watches because of their &C
curacy. There are people wearing
watches today who bought them from
us when the jewelry house of Ramser
was first started, and these watches
are just as accurate and good now as
when first bought. You cannot make
poor buy when you get your watch
from Ramser.

STEEL BACKBONE"
FOR CRUSHED SPINE

Binghampton, N. Y, July 12.-As
the result of remarkable surgical
operation, Frank Harrington, 50
I'years old, of Vestal, near here, will
hereafter be known as the man with
the steel backbone A steel tube,
jointed to make it as nearly as pos
sible like the vertebrae of spinal
column, has been used by surgeons
to replace 20 of the vertebrae which
were crushed by fall from a scat
fold.
Surgeons at first did not believe he
would be able to survive the acci-
dent, but five weeks ago he was taken
to the hospital. Drs. C. S. Wilson,
w. H. Wilson and R. o. Crozier, final
ly decided upon the remarkable ope:,.
alton.
AS preliminary the surgeons re-
moved the pieces of crushed bone,
then took a careful measurement of
the part of the spine removed. They
then ordered a steel tube about 8 feet
long, shaped like the spine, and with
with flexible joints to correspond with
the vertebrae. This was inserted, ex-
treme care being taken that every
nerve branching from the spinal cord
should be in its proper place.
Harrington was placed then in a
plaster cast. He has improved so
much that he is now able to move
his legs in the bed, and the surgeons
believe that he will recover and be
able to walk as we'll as ever.

NEGROES IN CIVIL SERVICE
Not to Be Ousted by Sending Niger
Haters to Congress-.
(From the Greenville News)

This thing of yelling "nigger, Mig
ger, niger" in political campaign
often brings men to absurd conclus-
ions, and to conclusions which in the
light of reason and facts are not ten
able even for a few minutes. Take
for instance, the cry against negroes
serving in Government positions, and
the prostestationS of this or that can
didate of what he would do if elected
Now every informed man knows that
the negroes who fill the government
positions in this part of the country
fill them by virtue of appointments
won through means of the civil SER
vice. They have stood examinations
and having made higher grades than
other competitors have secured the
positions. A man who hates the me-
gro with all venomous hatred which
unenlightened prejudice might Civ,
rise to, could go to the United States
senate, or to any other office and af-
ter getting there would find himself
powerlesS to oust the negroes who
serve under the rules of civil SER
vice. He could rear and rant, but he
couldn't change things by such meth
ods. Do you imagine that Ben Till
man, Jeff Davis and James K Varda-
man would leave the negroes in office
if they could avoid doing so?
Along this line the Anderson In
telligencer has something to say. The
reference is to the three men named
above, and here's the remark:
"If these three have been unable
to GUST the negro from holding Fed
eral positions on account of the civil
service red tape, there is but one
thing left for us to do, and that is to
pass Senator E. d. Smiths bill to re-
peal the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments and take away all rights
of citizenship from the negro. Filling
up Congress with negro haters will
never GUST the negro under the civil
service code of today"

Wardlaw Smith of Spartanburg,
which is to take place at Montreal,

burg, was graduated from the Univer-

1909. During his college career he
was one of the most prominent men
at Carolina-a social leader and an
all-round athlete. To his many
friends in Columbia the news of his
approaching marriage is of much IN
terest. Miss Barrow is a recent grad
uate of Converse college, of which
institution she was one of the repre-.
sentative students during her student
days.---Sunday State.

A Proud Record.

Washington, July 12.-News of the
death of Associate Justice Horace H.
Lurton of the supreme court, at At
lantic City today, was received with
profound sorrow by friends and asso-
ciates in Washington. The knowledge
had been general for months, however,
that the justice was very ill man
and that death might be expected a,
any time.
For year or more Justice Lur-
toms condition has been serious, but
he insisted in performing his duties
until last December, when he was
compelled to 60 to Florida. At that
time it was reported he would resign,
but after fighting for health in the
south until April he resumed his place
on the bench to take an active part in
one of the busiest sessions in the
courts history. The court adjourned
June % for the summer, and ten days
ago Justice Lurton went to Atlantic
City with his family, hoping to gain
strength in the salt air.
Native of Kentucky.
Born at Newport, Campbell county,
Kentucky, Justice Lurton was attend
ing the county schools when the war
between the States began. Though
only II years old he enlisted in the
Confederate army and became a
trooper under Gen. Morgan. Three
years later he was captured and i'm
prisoned. A personal appeal by his
mother to President Lincoln brought
about his release on parole. and when
the war closed he was studying law
at Cumberland University. He grad
uated in 1867 and began practicing
law in Tennessee.
After serving four years as Ten
nessee division chancellor Judge Lur-
ton returned to the practice of law in
1878 and eight years later was elected
a Judge of the Tennessee Supreme
court, of which he became Chief JUS
tice in 1898. The same year President
Cleveland appointed him Judge of the
9Th judicial circuit OF, the United
States.
AS a Federal jurist, Judge Lurton
was closely associated with former
President Taft, then Circuit Judge
and when the vacancy on the supreme
court appeared in 1910 President Taft
appointed him to the post. He took
Office January 3, 1910, being the
fourth Confederate soldier to become
a member of the country's highest
court.

one moment that single one of these
gentlemen would stoop to "dirty
piece of thieving' or even be party
thereto? Isn't their standing in their
respective communities sufficient to
convince their neighbors that this is
only another instance of truth-distort-

men whose walks in life should be an
