REDUCE COST
TO CONSUMER
Light Rates Reduced 20 Per Cent
on New Year-SerVice Seven
Days in Week and of
High Efficiency.

During the holidays the Municipal
Electric Light & Water Works sent
out Christmas cards to all of it's GUS
toners and also an announcement of
a reduction of the electric light rates
beginning with the new year. The
rate on lights has been reduced from
twelve to ten cents per killowatt
which will be big saving to the Gus
toners. The rates as now scheduled
are lower than those of such large
towns as Columbia, Spartanburg
Greenville and nearly all other towns
in the State.
Under the administration of the
present commissioners, and the man
agenent of the present superinten-
dent the rates on lights have been re-
duced from fifteen cents to ten cents
within the past'four years. Besides
reducing the rates as above mention
ed the service has been greatly i'm.
proved and instead of shutting the
plant down at noon every day and al
day Sunday as used to be the custom
the plant is now run all the time, fur.
nishing continuous service. The plant
is in excellent physical condition anC
it would be worth anyone's time to &c
down and look over same and see
what the city has in the line of {
lighting plant as the writer has done
The commissioners are w. H. Sar.
tor, chairman, w. S. Mcclure and l.. J
Hames. r. A. Easterling is superin
tendent of the electric light and water
plant. Under the able and economical
management of these gentlemen, the
present high degree of efficiency
along with the great reduction in cost
to the consumer, have been attained
Union has now one of the best equip,
ped plants in the State, and the cost
to the consumer is very reasonable.

BROUGHT HERE TO SERVE TIME
l.. Nj. Charles Was Convicted in 1913
in Greenville-Brought Here
From Atlanta, Ga, From
the Federal Prison to
Serve Sentence 2
Years Standing
(Anderson Daily Mail.)

l.. Marvin Charles, who was con-
victed in Greenville in 1913 for fraud
ulcnt use of the mails, and who has
served a sentence of years, less 72
days for good behavior was brought
to Anderson last night to serve anoth-
er sentence of months in the An
derson county Jail.
Charles is an old locker club man,
and very frely admits that in his
time he had mighty good system
to defraud the liquor people and
that he worked the game with some
success. When the final issue came,
he refused to pay the bills, and the
liquor people put the case in the
hands of federal government. The
outcome of the trial was that he was
found guilty Of using the mails to
defraud and W. sentenced to serve
2 years in the federal prison at AT
lanta. -
Charles is native of Union coun-
ty and when he was sentenced for US
ing the mails fraudulently, he was
also convicted of another charge, that
of intimidating a witness. One of
the witnesses, he declared, swore to
a lie, and that he himself told about
it in court. He said that before the
man purged himself, that he caution
ed him not to swear lie and that af-
ter the witness had made the state
ment, that he told him, he had sworn
4 lie.
This brought on the second case
He was again tried for intimidating
witness, and received another SEN
tence of months in jail. He was
assigned to the Anderson jail. He
made the request Of the presiding
judge to let him serve the sentence
at home, but his honor refused this
request saying that he had too many
friends around Union.
Marvin Charles is a young man,
not over 80 years of age, and hardly
that. He is fine physique and is
very good looking.
He says that he spent the early
part OF his life in Union county and
that al of his people live there. He
was in the club and liquor business
in Soartanburg for several years, and
he has spent some time in Green
Vile.
His sentence of months will b.
served in the jain at Anderson.

and the yeggmen escaped.
Mccarthy took part in all of the
robberles narrated above, and it was
from his confession while in the pris-
on at Vermont that officials gained
much of their knowledge about the
personnel of the yegg gangs that were
implicated in them.
Although he said yesterday that he
was the mechanic" when he was
working at the gentle art of safe
blowing with O'Day and Irish Jim
N.Y. Mccarthy was not more than
passably proficient in the actual blow
ing of safes. He was most success
ful when he was working under the
direction of "Portland Ned" or Gus
DeFord, both of whom were leaders
In the business and expert me
chanicS."
Mccarthy was arrested with James
johnson, alias "Portland Ned" and
Charles Howard, alias"TeXaS Dutch, y"
IN Norfolk in August. 1905. Howard
paroled few days ago, is waiting a
preliminary hearing for robbing a
poStoffice.
After their arrest in Norfolk, Haw
ard and johnson were convicted at
Charleston, w. Va, in March, 1899,
of robbing postotlice at Branwell,
w. Va. The jury disagreed about
Mccarthy. He was brought to Raj
eigh, placed on trial for robbing d
postoffice at Plymouth, n. c., for
which he was jointly indicted with
Johnson and convicted on June l,
1899. Mccarthy served two years in
the prison at Raleigh.
In January, 1905, while serving d
seven-year sentence for bank burglary
in the Vermont prison, Mccarthy
made voluntary confession to In
spector Gregory of his entire Grim
NAL career and subsequently render
ed valuable assistance to the United
States government and to the author
tiles of different States in the arrest
and prosecution of SafeblowerS and
burglars. President Roosevelt gave
Mccarthy pardon to restore his civil
rights in the Plymouth case. He was
pardoned by the governor of Vermont
after serving nearly two years of his
sentence and by the governor ofNorth
Carolina for prior conviction in
that State.
After leaving the Vermont peni-
tentiary, Mccarthy put into his effect
determination to abandon a criminal
life and engaged in honest pursuits
for several years. He was haraSsed
from time to time by the officials OF
certain detective agency and few
policemen, using his record to cause
him to lose different jobs. This un-
fair treatment finally made him des-
perate while out of employment and
caused brief relapse into criminal
life in the early part of 1913 at New
!ork.
Mccarthy thoroughly repented his
deviation from the straight and mar
row path. He pleaded guilty to his
offenses in 1913 and was pardoned in
January, 1914.

Hou To Danish
Wrinkles Quickly

II your face is disfgured with wrin-
kles, no matter what the cause, you
can quickly dispel every line, even
the most obstinate, by using sim
pie, homemade wash lotion. Merely
dissolve an ounce Of powdered saxo-
lite in half pint witch hazel-Inex-
pensive ingredients found in any
drugstore. Battle the face in this,
and-presto!-you scarcely believe
your own eyes when you look into
your mirror and behold the marvel
GUS transformation.
The remarkable astringent action
Of the saxolite so tightens the skin,
wrinkles are literally pressed out.
Best of all, this result is not purely
| temporary. for the lotion also has a
healthful tonic action, which tends
| to strengthen and tone up the weak
ened tissue, and added benerft may
be expected with continued use. Use
this once day for awhile; 1t cannot
injure the most delicate skin, the
treatment itself leaves no trace-no
one guesses the secret Of your in
creasing youthful appearance.
