DARLINGTON MAN
KILLED BY AUTO
BayrOn YarbOrOugh's Neck Broken
in Peculiar Accident.

Darlington, Dec. 26.-In a very un-
usual automobile accident Mr.. Bayron
Marlborough was killed yesterday in
the Philadelphia section Of Darling
ton County.
He was returning home with his
wife from call on her parents, and
when opposite old Bethel, on the road
from Lydia to Bonsal, he found it nee
essary to pass to drive close to a
ditch.
Fearing his automobile would fall
into the ditch, he stopped the engine.
Getting out, he crankcd the engine,
and it fired and at once started for
ward, as it had ben left on the high
gear.
Mr.. Marlborough made a desperate
attempt to stop the machine. His
chin was caught and his neck was
broken.
A brother who had followed him,
although the road was out of his way,
came up soon after the accident and
took the widow into his car. The dead
man was taken home.

STATES PRICE OF PEACE
Also Gives Secret of Success in
War.

New York, Dec. 26.-Preparedness
for peace through the medium OF the
highest scientific development of re-
sources which would have to be en-
ploycd in war of defense by this
nation, was outlined today by George
f. Kunz, retiring vice president of
the section on social and economic
science, before delegates to the con-
vention of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science.
"In the preparedness for peace"
Mr.. Kunz said, 1--WE find a splendid
field for the utilization of our pro-
jectcd museum Of peaceful arts. If
one of the great powers had spent
$500, 100000 in technical and CONNER
cial schols, the present war would
not have taken place and twenty
times that amount would not have
been expended. Cooperation and eff
cheney are the price of peace, and the
secret of success in war"
Referring to the offensive power of
the submarine as shown in the war,
Mr.. KunZ said:
at behoovcs us to take time by the
forclock and to build * great number
Of these powerful, though perhaps
somewhat perfdious engines of war.
We should have at least two fleets Of
200 submarines, each, to guard our
Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the
routes to the Penama Canal Thhis
preparedness for war in the sea
depths should be supplemented by an
equally active preparation of aero
planes, hydro -acroplancs and Zeppe-
lins."

IN all large public undertakings where permanent i'm

with which to finance the work.

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog.
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
yalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute In
Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric--which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and infiamma-
ton subslde. II you are a sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anhric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and Ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial

JUST MATTER OF PERCENTAGE
Legislator Had Figured Out Method
by Which He Voted Right in
sin Majority of Cases.

During the last session Of a western
legislature one member, a tall, angu-
lar man with a white mustaChe of the
walrus pattern and the faculty Of be-
ing able to throw both his thumbs out
of joint at will, made himself cOnspic-
uous by voting mo" on every bill, res
olutfon or other form of business that
came up. However, innocent a mea
ure might be, this man voted against 1t
stentoriously.
Finally a legislator weakened under
the strain and approached the gentle
man with the walrus whiskers.
"Why is it?' asked the man, that
