ASSOCIATION TO AssASSlNATE
States Attorney Aoyne at Chicago
Learns Of Conspiracy Against
European Rulers and Amer
can Finanelsr.

Chicago, April San anarchistiC
plot to assassinate the rulers of Euro
pean countries was uncovered In chi
cage by States Attorney Maclay
Hoyne, and another plot OF secret
organization to assassinate j. p. Nor
gan, fiscal agent for the entente al
lies in the United States, has beer
discovered by agents OF the depart
meht OF justice, according to dis
patches from San Francisco.
II is coincidence that the two plots
were exposed on the same, day, al
they do not appear to be related in
any way Several groups of anarch
lists in different parts Of the country
are involved in the conspiracy to take
the lives OF European rulers.
"A certain anarchist has made q
written statement in my Office" said
Mr. Hoyne, that an international plot
exists to assassinate all the rulers
Of Europe.
This man tells of secret meetings
in Chicago and other cities. He says
he attended meeting in this city at
which lots were drawn by certain OF
the anarchists to select an ASSASSIN.
my investigators were inQuiring
into the poisoning OF the guests at
the archbishop's banquet when they
accidentally stumbled on information
which led to the finding of the an
archist who later came to my ONCE
and gave, me information of the al
legged plot to exterminate the crowned
heads OF Europe.
rOf course all l could do was to
take the mans story for what 1t was
worth and then put investigators to
work to try to substantiate, or dis
prove 1t. am making every effort
to that end. II can get corrobora-
tive evidence I will turn the facts
over to the government.
The assassins were to use poison
in all cases and resort to bombs,
shooting or other acts OF violence only
as a last resort. The whole plot was
supposed to be exceptionally we'll
worked out From what | gather
nom the information have at hand
the poisoning was to be engineered
through inner circles in way that
gave the plotters assurance that their
plans would not miscarry."
The news OF the plot against ]. p.
Morgan came from San Francisco. 1t
was stated that unquestionable proof
had been found Of the existence of
an organization pledged to the assas-
sination Of the fiscal agent Of the al.
Hes and that the department of jus.
tice is in possession OF a score or
more of threatening letters which
have been sent to the banker since his
return from England. ". p.

Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation
of Important Function May
Seriously Impair the
HpuIfh

There are many people who be-
lieve they suffer from indigestion
when their discomfort really is due
to constipated condition.
Bloat, with it's attendant mental
depression, sick-headache, the belch
ing of sour stomach gases, etc, are
frequently due to inaction of the
bowels. Relieve the congestion ana
the trouble usually disappears. The
use of cathartics and purgatives
should be avoided, however; these
shock the system unnecessarily and,
at best, their effect is but tempo
rary. A mild laxative is far pref
erable.
The compound of simple laxative
herbs known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for
fifty cents bottle, is highly recon-
mended. Mr.. Benz. Bassin, $50 Mad
ison St. Cary, Ind, thinks DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin a wonderful med
icine; for four years he had a severe
case OF indigestion and constipation
before trying DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin. which he is glad to recon-
mend to all who suffer with stom-
ach and bowel trouble.

make grateful acknowledgment of
the hearty cooperation and support
accorded him by the officers, di-
rectors and members at large. in the
furtherance OF his humble efforts in
filling the responsible position as
your Secretary.
There are four kinds of co-opera-
tion needed to continue the success
full operation of this organization;
viz: Financial, Moral, Intellectual
and Physical. These must be pres
ent if the Chamber OF Commerce
is to keep itself alive to it's best
work. The members must see that
financial aid is always available, they
must give to the Association their
best thought, counsel and advice and
they must be ready to give their
time and physical work when such
is needed
1t Is said that Pericles found
Athens a city of mud and left 1t a
city of marble. 1t is not necessary
that you make Lancaster a city of
marble, but you. as her citizens, do
owe it to posterity to improve your
city and rural conditions. In the way
OF streets, parks, Fairgrounds,
/ schools, roads and agricultural i'm
provements. and if you but bend
your shoulders to the wheel and
bring about the accomplishment of
these things. generations yet unborn
will rise up to call you blessed.
Respectfully submitted,
LUTHER ELLISON,
Secretary.

an honor which has never been ac-
corded a Secretary in this state.
AS stated above, this is not given
you in an eotistical way, but merely
to acquaint you with some few of
the many activities of your Secre-
tary. all of which rebound to the
general good of the organization and
the city from an advertising and pub
licity standpoint.
AGRICULTURE.
Since the dawn of civilization. the
progress and prosperity OF all coun-
tries have depended largely upon
the agricultural development of it's
people. The hand that tills the soil
is the hand that in measure gov
erns the business affairs of our land
hence, being as we are, an agricul-
tural community, we can hardly do
better than cultivate such measures
as will tend to bring about improved
methods in this particular line of
industry.
We have gladly co-operated with
Mr.. McManus, Farm Demonstration
Agent, in this work, and have done
all we possibly could to further the
good efforts which he Is putting
forth. We have compiled a mailing
list of some 200 farmers in this
county and we frequently mail them
such advertising matter pertaining
to their work as may be furnished
by the Department and Clemson Col
lege.
We are now undertaking the or
ganization of Stock and Poultry
Club in every community in the
county.
The Chamber of Commerce deems
il pleasure to be able to assist the
rural men in solving the many prob
lens in connection with his work,
and in this way If we can bring
about any degree OF cooperation be-
tween the city business men and the
rural business men, we shall GER
tainly feel that our efforts have not
been spent In vain.
MISCELLANEOUS
Under this head we will discuss
such measures as are not of suffi-
cient duration to come under the
head Of a subdivision. The Cham
ber OF Commerce has materially as
sisted the Library Association in the
way Of furnishing free quarters du-
ring the past several months. Free
use OF our rooms has been given to
all other associations in the city
working for the general uplift OF
our town and county. We have en-
deavored to the best OF our ability
to locate a Flour Mill in Lancaster
during the past several months. how
ever, we find our local business men
very loath to invest their money In
such an undertaking. We have
hopes, however. OF securing sufff-
cient aid to enable us to locate a
small mill In the very near future
Such an institution is absolutely q
necessity in order to encourage oui
