ACQUITTED OF PERJURY.
Lehon, Tedder and Thurman Are
Freed by Jury at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 31.-A verdict
of not guilty was returned by the
Jury in the superior court here late
today in the case of Dan S. Lehon
C. C. Tedder and Arthur Thurman
who were tried on charges of sub
ornation of perjury in connection
with the Leo NJ. Frank case. Lehon
is Southern manager for the William
J. Burns National Detective agency
Tedder was formerly employed by
the agency and Thurman is an At
lanta lawyer.
The trial began last Thursday and
the case was given to the jury late
last night. Judge Hill held session
of the court this afternoon to receive
the verdict. Only few persons, be-
sides the lawyers and court attaches
were present when the verdict was
announced.
The defendants were acquitted OF
having procured false affidavits from
the Rev. C. B. Ragsdale, formerly
pastor of an Atlanta church, and R,
L. Barber, in which the atlantis de-
clared they had overheard James
Conley, negro, tell another negro
he had killed a girl in the pencil fac
tory, where the body of Mary Phagan
was found. Ragsdale and Barber
later repudiated the affidavits. Con-
ley now is serving a years imprison-
ment as accessory after the murder
Of the Phagan girl.
The three men were tried on the
indictment charging them with brib-
ing Ragsdale. Solicitor General Dor
sey said that in view of today's ver-
dict it was unlikely they would be
tried on the indictment charging
bribery of Barber.

TALK on SUFFRAGE.
Mrs. Valentine Speaks in Capitol at
Columbia.

Columbia, Jan. 27.-Crowded gal
leries looked down tonight while Mrs
B. B. Valentine, of Richmond, Va,
addressed the house Of representa-
tives on Votes for Women A
committee, consisting of Representa-
tives Joseph A. Mccullough and Will
liam n. Graydon, escorted Mrs. Val.
entine, and DR.. Jane Bruce Guignard

Suffrage league, to the speakers
stand. The galleries and all the
available space on the floor of the
house were filled with men and wo-
men of Columbia, who turned out tc
hear Mrs. Valentine. Speaker Hoyt
called the house to its feet and Mrs
Valentine appeared with her escort
and her introduction was greeted
with cheers.
The senate was in session in Its
chamber while the speaking was TAX

attended the exercises.
Mrs. Valentine spoke as a South

made an earnest plea for the ballot
to be given to the women. She spoke
of the spread of suffrage in other
States and painted a glowing picture
of what she said would result II
South Carolina would grant suffrage
to women. Her speech lasted more
than an hour and was listened tc
with the closest attention. She was
frequently cheered and given what

cluded.

TO HURT, NOT TO KILL.
Is Chief Aim of CombatantS in
Modern War.

A French general has figured out
that it cost France in 1870 $4,000
to kill German soldier. 1t cost the
Russians $20,400 to kill japanese
soldier.
The generals method of obtaining
an answer to the question, how much
does it cost to kill a soldier, was
very simple. He divided the total
expenditures of the war by the num-
ber of troops killed in the enemy's
army.
But this calculating Gaul omitted
the value of all by-products. For
every soldier killed in battle about
four are wounded. Hence part of the
expenses placed against the dead
may fairly be subtracted and credit
ed to the injured.
The chief aim in battle is not
to kill an enemy, but to wound him.
A badly wounded soldier can do no
more fighting than a dead one, so
that as an offensive measure when
one soldier shoots another through
the leg he gets rid OF an enemy as
effectually> as if he had hit him in
the heart.
But he does really better for his
own cause, since a wounded man at
once becomes a much greater bur-
den to his own comrades than is a
dead soldier. The latter needs no
more care, but the former must be
helped to field hospital, doctored
and nursed.
One of the most dramatic incidents
of the civil war was the retreat of
Lees army after Gettysburg with its
hundreds of wagon loads of wound
ed soldiers.
A woman who lived by the road
down which this long line of scream
ing, groaning and dying men were
being hauled told me recently that it
was the most awesome event of her
life. They went by her home during
the night.
But even the wounded had to make
way for the guns. When the artil-
lery came laundering along the road
the officers in command of it forced
the wagons loaded with wounded to
give them the right of way, which
was done.
A good many thousands of the
Union wounded at Gettysburg were
brought to Philadelphia war hospitals
by railroad trains. The nearly 5000
dead in blue and grey who lay over
the sunny fields at. Gettysgurg gave
the opposing armies far less worry
than did the hosts of wounded.
That's why l have said the real
aim in battle is to hurt, not to kill

WAREHOUSE BILL.
House of Representatives Votes IS to
50 to Save System.

Columbia, Jan. 27.-The work Of
the extraordinary session of the gen.
eral assembly is having rather
rough time with this general assem-
bly,. Only a day or two ago the cot
ton acreage reduction bill was over
whelmingly disapproved so far as the
house was concerned. Today the
house let the warehouse bill survive,
but it had a surprisingly close shave.
The official record was vote Of IS
to 50 to save the warehouse system.
Mr.. Graydon changed his vote to
move to reconsider. The vote against
the bill would, therefore, have been
larger but for this. AS matter. OF
fact some members said that 1t look
ed a little bad only two days ago
to vote to repeal the acreage bill and
today to undo the only other act Of
Importance that was passed lees than
ninety days ago. The vote indicates
that the warehouse system is in bad
shape, so far as legislation is con-
cerned, and that it is going to have
some hard sliding if appropriations
are wanted, because today's vote was
simply upon the question of repeal
ing the warehouse law outright, and
the appeals were made largely on the
ground of giving the system trial.
There was no mistaking the fact
that there is objection to Mr.. Nc
Laurin as commissioner; this fact
was plainly stated in the argument
of Mr.. Fromberg, of Charleston, who
was in favor of the retention Of the
system, and it was intimated that
if Mr.. McLaurin's personality in con-
nection with the warehouse was OBJ
jectionable, that he would retire
rather than jeopardize the system.
A bill to repeal the statute offered
within ninety days after its passage
and without much of a chance for
the plan to receive over fifty votes
is strikingly emphatic. 1t is strik-
ing point that the Orangeburg dele
CATION, with MIR. Lilies and Mr.. Ber-
ry in the forefront, practically saved
the warehouse system by their votes
and arguments.
The fight against the. warehouse
system was led by Mr.. Warren, and
he had as his lieutenants in the cause
Messrs Graydon, Boyd and Morrison
| in today's argument.
Those who wished the system
tried out and continued in today's
arguments were Messrs Lilies and
Berry, of Orangeburg; Hutto, OF
Dorchester; Sellers, Of Marion, and
Fromberg, of Charleston.

THE IRISH POTATO.
Enthusiastic Meeting of Hartsyille
Farmers Develops Talk.

On Saturday, January 9, a far
mers' meeting was held at the Temple
theatre here for the purpose of list
ening to talks on the Irish potato
industry. H. T. prosser, agricul-
tural agent cf the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad company, Mr.. Baker of
Clemson and'J. R. Nixon, of Char
lesion, were present and presented
intelligent, informative address.
This initial meeting was productive
of good fruits for an association has
been formed with C. w. Coker, pres
tdeni, and R. P. Gillespie, secretary,
for promoting and encouraging the
growth of Irish potatoes in this Sec
ton. Saturday, at II o'clock a Sec
ond meeting was held. While the
attendance was not as large as was
desired, some constructive outline
work was accomplished. There were
present some commission merchants
and the industry was discussed.
Several farmers will cultivate Irish
potatoes this season and the devel-
opment and extension of the idea is
sure to come about. That the potato
is rich in promise is foregone con-
culsion and it looks now that Harts-
Vile is to take lead with this crop
as it is doing with cotton and other
roducts.-Hartsvill Messenger.

The Girls Canning Clubs.

National attention is centred upon
the results of the Girls Canning
club movement in report of the
general education board, advance
copies of which have just been made
public. This movement, as South
Carolina readers should know, was
begun by Miss Marie Cromer, of this
State, near Aiken, about four or five
years ago, Miss Cromer purchasing
a canning outfit for girls and teach
ing them how to grow and can to-
matoes. He object was to make life
on the farm more attractive to the
girls and women by showing them
how they could, with no great hard
ship, earn spending money Of their
own while at the same time storing
the pantry with inviting eatables.
The methods are akin to those which
we're followed in the old fashloned
cuttings; that is to say each girl
plants and cultivates her patch OF
tomatoes and when the fruit begins
to ripen the canning club meets first
at one home and then at another and
the girls cooperate in canning the
product. This they are taught to do
in such manner that the tomatoes
are easily marketable, and experience
mas shown that there is a ready sale
for them. The average profit made
by girls reporting in twelve States
was s21.9S, but great many girls
made very much more than this.
Some of them showed profits of near
" 500 each. The first year the
movement was organized only S23
girls we're registered; the next year
there we're 1900; the third year
there were 1850 and in 1913 there
were upward of 10000 in fourteen
different States.-Ex.
