From almost every part of the

Europe this decline is notorious. In

The Bamberg county convention
has done we'll. 1t has endorsed Sen
ator Smith for reelection, not as a
factional candidate, in fact there is
no factionalism in it. The voters be-
heve he is in position to render the
best service to the farming interests
of the State, as we'll as all other in
terests, and want him reelected.
Factional politics was not discussed
in the convention, and there will be
no bitter contest over the race for
the senate, so far as Bamberg county
is concerned. We are all friends and
neighbors and will remain so. and
We are not going to abuse anybody.

Mexico City, May 4.-Dr. Edward
Ryan, the American who had been
recently condemned to death at Zaca-
tecas, arrived here late last night.
His whereabouts were uncertain un-
til to-day.
DR.. Ryan was taken from the train
by strong guard of soldiers, which
conducted him to the National Palace.
He had been expected to reach
here Saturday and the delay in his
arrival caused some anxiety. On
Sunday evening it was announced
by the war department he had gotten
only as far as Aguas Calientes.
To-day at the National Palace it
was stated that DR.. Ryan would be
handed over this evening to the care
of the Brazilian minister, who later
would put him on board refugee
train for the coast on the way to the
United States.

Navy to Army.

Vera Cruz, April 30.-The task of
guarding the city of Vera Cruz and
it's environs was taken over from the
navy to-day by Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston and the 5th infantry brigade
of the United States army.
While martial law still continues
in force, the actual municipal govern
ment is being conducted by Robt. J..
Kerr, the American civil governor,
who has enlisted the aid of Mexican
officers to act under his superintend-
ence said in accordance with Mexican
laws.
After morning enlivened by the
marching to and fro of large bodies
of American soldiers, sailors and
marines, the city resumed its normal
and somewhat sleepy daily life. The
evening, however, was made gay by
outdoor dinner parties at the cafes
and restaurants, accompanied by
music and sometimes by dancing.
The American troops began their
Decentralization from the transports
at an early hour in the morning. Be-
fore noon all had marched to their
posts in various parts of the city and
outlying suburbs.
Natives Amazed.
AS the various detachments
swung into the streets, their flags
flying and with bands playing mar
tial airs, leading them. the natives
appeared on their balconies or came
out onto the sidewalks and gazed
with undisguised wonder at the solid
ranks of brownclothed men. The
people seemed to marvel at the pre-
cision of the American soldiers move
ment and their sturdy appearance.
Shortly after the last of the troops
had passed through the central
streets of the city Brig. Gen. Funston
with several aides drove by in a car
riage and was greeted with an out
burst of applause.
When the men had taken up their
stations and the reports had been
received by Brig. Gen. Funston Off
cial calls were exchanged between

STATES JEWELRY
BILL IS YET UNPAID
DEBT WAS INCURRED SEVERAL
YEARS AGO FOR SILVER SET
FOR BATTLESHIP.
THE SELLER NOW BANKRUPT

Seceral Governors Have Taken Mat
ter Up, But Were Never Able to
Do Anything About 1t. Roosevelt
Made Presentation Speech.
When the jewelry firm of Charles
w. Crankshaw went into bankruptcy
the other day under plan whereby
the business is still to be operated
one of the scheduled assets filed with
the court was a bill for $1,000, with
interest for seven years, against the
state of Georgia. which has never
been paid although Mr.. CrankshaW
has repeatedly endeavored to col
lect it.
This bill grows out of the presenta-
ton to the United States battleship
Georgia of a magnificent silver SER
vice which cost $1,000 The pre-
sentation took place at jamestown
during the exposition of 1907. Sew
eral thousand Georgians were pres
ent and President Roosevelt made
the presentation speech conveying
the gift from Georgia to the newest
ship of the navy.
This handsome silver service was
purchased through Mr.. Crankshaw,
the negotiations having been made
by the late Gov. Jos. NJ. Terrell and
the committee appointed by the gov
ernor for the purpose Of raising the
fund to buy it.
Nearly every city in Georgia gave
piece of silver for this service, large
or small. The state at large was by
public subscription to give a punch
bowl, ladle and tray. Every one OF
the cities paid their assessments, but
the states part of it was never paid.
This amounted to $1,000, upon which
interest is due since 1907. Mr..
Crankshaw states that he had what
he considered adequate promise that
payment would be made, but 1t has
never been Forthcoming. The mat
ter has been taken up with various
governors, and some years ago bill
was introduced in the legislature
making an appropriation to pay the
amount in question. This bill never
got out of the appropriations com
mittee room. None of the governors
have been able to do anything about
it and Mr.. Crankshaw has found no
means by which he could get redress.
He says he has done everything short
of making the matter public, as he
had no desire to humiliate the state,
and the incident has become public
only through the fact that this Item
amounting now to some $4,000, was
scheduled in a list of assets filed in
the bankruptcy court.

In the 148 counties Of the state

A WARNING TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts About Hid
new Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics Bright's disease, which is
really an advanced form Of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913 in the state of New
York alone. Therefore it behooves
US to pay more attention to the
health of these most important or
gans.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony OF
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re
quire attention and wish a sample
bottle write to Dr.. K'lmer & Co.
Binghamton, \. Y. Mention this pa
per. enclose ten cents and they will
gladly forward it to you by parcel
post.
Swamp Root is sold by every drug
gist in bottles of two sizes-50c and
$1.00.
