CLOSES DISPENSARIES.
Aiken Mayor Declares Action is TAX
en- for 1.-The Public Good"

Aiken, April 24.-By order of
Mayor Moseley. the dispensaries of
the city of Aiken were closed today.
Early morning visitors 10 the dispen-
saries were disappointed. Saturday
is the day when liquor is sold in
large quantities and the thirsty
knocked in vain at the doors on
which notice had been placed, sign
ed and sealed and countersigned, by
the mayor and the city clerk, J. l..
McCarter, to the effect that for the
public good the dispensaries of the
city would be closed until further or
ders and calling on the chief of po-
lice and the sheriff of the county to
see that the official proclamation of
the mayor was strictly adhered to.
At meeting of the board Of con-
troll last Tuesday, two new members
recently commissioned by Governor
Manning and a hold-over, complete
change of dispensary employees was
made, only two of the old clerks be-
ing retained. This action on the part
of the new board is resented by men
who have lost their positions and the
closing of Aiken dispensaries result
ed from the refusal of a clerk to name
a day when he would check up.
There is a doubt in the minds of
the employees as to whether the ac-
ton of the new board is legal. al
though the governor has issued COM
missions to the new employees.
The Aiken county delegation nam
ed two members of the board Of con-
troll, but one of them resigned-Mr.
Rawls-and the delegation had not
up to the time of the meeting of the
new board named a successor to Mr..
Rawls. P. K. Livingston, Of the
Kitchings Mill section, has been nam
ed by the majority of the Aiken
county members in the general as
sembly and the governor asked to
commission him.
The action of the mayor in closing
the dispensaries is strictly within his
legal rights, and as to how long a
time the order will remain in force
depends upon the action of the gov
ernor and the head Of the city.

TAFT FAVORS LONGER TERM.
"CitiZen Bill" Talks About the Pres
ident'S job.

Baltimore, April 24.-Former
President Taft Spoke on the opportu-
mites of citizenship at the Citizens
club here today, a few hours after
Secretary Bryan had given advice to
new voters at the same place. Taft
then went to Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. where he gave an intimate view
of the presidency, its powers. its
functions and it's esponsibilities. :.
Il have often thought it would
have been best" said Mr.. Taft, to
have made the term six or seven years
with ineligibility Tor reelection. But
| don't want to tinker with the Con-
stitution. There are so many people
who hink it ought to be radically
changed. that l prefer to have few
spots on the sun rather than run the
risk of it's going out altogether -
Mr.. Taft spoke caustically about
pressure put upon the president to
approve bills of doubtful constitu-
tionality which had been passed to
satisfy the folks at home, and
which were sent to the supreme
court for decision. That, he thought,
was the cause of much of the criti-
cism of the supreme court. The
larger number of measures it has
decided unconstitutional he said. is
used as an argument of the courts
antagonistic attitude towards things
the people want.

BOY OF 1s ELECTROCUTED.
In Trying to EXtricate Body Mother
of Youth is Shocked.

Anderson, April 24.-James Payne
McCown, aged 13, second son of S.
A. McCown, a large merchant here,
was electrocuted in the basement OF
the McCown home, one mile east OF
Anderson, at noon today.
Mrs. McCown detected odor from
the burning clothes of the youth, set
on fire by an electric light cord
wrapped around his body. She at
tempted to unwind the cord and was
knocked down by the current. Two
white men in the yard were called
and both of them were knocked down
when they caught hold of the boys
body. The wire was then jerked
loose from the rosette.
Physicians were called, but evil
dently the boy died instantaneously.
1t is a singular coincidence that
young McCown and Ernest Cochran,
who accidentally killed himself three
days ago, were classmates ana eAdCI-
ly the same age.
Another coincidence was that for
mer County Treasurer James M.
Payne, grandfather, and for who the
lad was named, died eight months
ago today. This is the second TRACE
dy to occur in this house, the other
being the self-destruction of U. E.
Seybt, four months ago, who built
the magnificent home less than a
year ago.
The insulation on the thumb switch
of the light was broken, and it is
believed this caused young McCoWn's
electrocution.

Been Shot by Northern Chief.

New York, April 24.-Francisco S.
Elias, Carranza consul here, announc-
ed today he had received telegram
from Gen. Obregon, asserting that
Gen. Obregon's brother, francesca
taken prisoner by Villa and sent to
Chihuahua, has been shot by Villas
order. Gen. Obregon's telegram
said:
villa, to avenge himself upon me
for the defeat which my troops have
inflicted upon him, has arrested and
sent my brother, francesca Obregon,
a man seventy years of age, a prison
er to Chihuahua. He was living
peacefully in Guadalajara and was a
non-combatant. He took issue with
neither of the factions. When Villa
fled from the city he ordered that he
be arrested. This is nothing more
than revenge, which he is seeking
from me for the defeat which he suf-
fered."
Another dispatch from Gen Obre-
gon, Mr.. Elias asserted, said Gen.
Obregon had sent telegram to Villa
pointing out that his brother was a
feeble old man and non-combatant
and requesting his release. The only
reply received to this message, Mr..
Elias said the dispatch stated, was a
message from Villa which read:
Your brother has been shot"

The many evidences of unanimity and of q desire to really do something for the benefit of the community dis played at the meeting of the Nome Chamber of Commerce last night, was not only a most agreeable sight but also indicates that the body have now decided that the only way to get any where Is to start.

is laid down by a court that recently divorced an ungracious husband from patient and long suffering wife. In the case under review the husband had been humored in his early life to the extent that here remained nothing in his horizon but self, and he was in capable of fairly meeting the conces- sions necessary to a happy married life.
 In their desire to make the way easy for the child, and to indulge it's whims and fancies, parents often may infiict lasting injury upon the boy or girl in the fixing of selfish character incap- able of adjustment with the needs of give-and-take struggle with the world. In the majority of instances, perhaps. some native common sense and contact with the worlds sharp corners restore the coddled one to a sense of proportion. but it is handi cap at best and a distinct unkindness in it's effect in after life.
 In the difficult struggle of practical life there is need for courage, and tol- |erance. and stout-hearted perseverance in the face of worldly rebuffs. The spoiled child has too often the impress sion that the world revolves about him, and he must rid himself of this inn pression to enjoy a successful life The dictum of the court points to
 the conclusion that parents may easily impose distinct handicap upon a be- loved child in the mistaken impression
 that they are contributing to its wei
 fare.

THE CAPT|vES
 OF GERMANY

It must have puzzled most people to know how the prisoner of war receives communications in the shape of letters, parcels. and money from his relatives
 to send news of himself to his friends while he is in prisoners camp of the enemy, ~
 The work is carried out by the mli |tary postal department, aided by few specially qualified biingual sorters, The French and German government authorities do not sort any of the pris-
 oners of war correspondence with their
 relatives. Letters are collected into
 bundles at Pontarlier and Frankfort respectively and forwarded to the of flee of the Berne "trans- post" There
 letters have previously passed though the hands of the camp commandant land are stamped Approved" Similar ly, letters addressed to the prisoner bear the censor's stamp from the place of origin. The letters are all ready 'again on their arrival at destination
 before being delivered.
 The method of dealing with the
 transfer of money to prisoners of war
 is a rather more elaborate affair. The money orders are issued on large sized distinctive colored cards They are not put in envelopes, but are simply ad- dressed to the transit post" at Borne, where they are replaced by Swiss order for payment on a yellow card which is honored by the postal au- 4 thorities of both France and Germany The work of transferring the details from the Fernch or German original order to the neutral Swiss is done by girl clerks.
 From September to the end of the year no fewer than 221,6S7 money or ders representing 3.376,956 francs, | passed through the Berne transit | post" to French prisoners in Germany. l md 61,045, money orders, representing ,195,614 francs. to German prisoners n France.
 On December l the Swiss govern l ncnt extended the same facilities for | he transfer of money to Russian pris- | 'ners in Austro- Hungarian prisoners n Russia.
 The neutral Swiss order has to he to Berne, so that settle | nent of the sums paid out to prisoners ,f the respective governments may be made and in this way it has often been the means of discovering whether ! missing" is alive or dead

that the guide cannot make the trip in
100 days. Amidon is fitting the boat
with a centre board and fore and aft

parties 70 the wager. As novel
feature he is equipping the bottom OF
the boat with runners on which he can
slide il around locks or over carries to
save time. He will be allowed TO ac-

Canal to Lake Erie. From there he will
enter the Miami River and by the
