1T IS EASY TO GET
RID OF GOPHERS.

Right in the middle Of the worst
gopher infested part Of this state are
farms that never board a single goph-
er a week of the time. That is be-
cause the owners have learned sure
way to make their farms gopher
proof.
Gophers have a fatal weakness,
their love of sweets. They like sweet
things better even than the fresh
green shoots of grain in early spring.
The farmers know this and take ad-
vantage of the gopher's weakness by
keeping a supply of "Kill-Em-Quick"
on hand and whenever gophers ap-
pear, they use it.
Kill-Em-Quick is effective at all
times Of the year when gophers are
not alternating. They will eat oats
or ground feed coated with it even
when the tender shoots are abundant.
For that reason it's effectiveness is not
limited to that period in the early
spring when the gopher cannot find
green food. No matter what time OF
year gophers appear you can surely
kill them with "Kill- EN- Quick"
ill-Em-Quick' is absolutely sure
death to gophers. Stir into oats or
ground feed that has been soaked
over night and then drained and it is

CALLS FOR CORRECTIONS

Editor Star: Heretofore in printing
my "reminiscences there were so few
errors that | just "let it go at that"
but in the number appearing in yes
terday's issue there were quite a
number and of a character that /
must ask that you correct in today's
issue. Kindly publish the following
corrections.
In writing of Mueller's band which
was mustered into service with the
Eutaw regiment wrote "all of them
were Germans except two" while you
print "all Of them were farmers ex-
cept two" This would be little re-
markable as they all lived in Charles
ton and were an organized band of
more than statewide reputation as
excellent musicians for some years
before the war. Writing of Salter's
proficiency as drummer | wrote he
could about make it talk in "seven"
Languages, while it is printed "sev-
eral' languages. | wrote John Gal
way was bugler for the Edisto Rifles
both in training and in the fights
''and" he had the advantage of the
others of the band in the trays, while
| it is in print "as" he had, etc.
wrote it was tremendous advantage
for US to drill as skirmishers by the
bugle, calls as when in extended lines
and in battle, we could not hear the
commands from the voice of the Off
Ger, but with the bugler by his side
and the Commands" given to him,
etc., while you print and the "sum-
mons" given to him, etc. Now "sum-
mons" is not very tactical word. In
another place the print is "viw''
which should be "vim." You have
"Legaire" when it should be "Legare''
and "Kennedy' when it should be
@Kennerly," "Medicis" for "Medicus. .
This is the first time when there
have been typographical errors of
sufficient importance for me to re-
quest you to correct them, in fact
there have been but very few errors
heretofore of any kind and I am led
to think that you are letting Cats
and that Cash suit interfere with
your proof-reading. Don't worry. You
remember told you l edited a paper
myself once for year and at the
end of the year broke the corporation
and reduced the circulation and adj
vertising patronage more than one
half just by one editorial, but not be-
cause there were any misprints in it
i but because it was the truth and
sharper than any two-edged SWORD
and pierced to the marrow.
Yours truly, Laurie T. Izlar.

INGALLS, EYE
WASN'T BLACKENED

Information reached Live Oak this
week to the effect that an exciting
incident occurred in Jasper last Sat-
urday while Rev. S. J. Cats was max
ing a speech in his campaign for gov
ernor. Mr.. Cats was speaking in the
open air and there was a good crowd
out to hear the address. In his speech
Mr.. Cats discussed the recounts of
the ballots that had taken place in
Madison, Suwanee and Hamilton
counties. He is said to have charged
that the ballots had been tempered
with and that there was evidence to
that effect and that the evidence i'm
plicated friend or attorney of Hon.
w. V. Knott. Mr.. Cats made his re-
marks so pointed that Col. /. J. Nc
Call, prominent member of the Jas
per bar, halted him and asked if he
referred to him. Mr.. Cats paused
and replied that the report around the
state was to that effect Mr.. Mccall
then said: "You or any other person
that says that I have tempered with
any ballots is liar
The atmosphere grew tense and Mr..
Cats replied to the effect that he did
not generally take the epithet applied
and did not know that he would do
so then. Mr.. Mccall replied that ii
was up to Mr.. Cats; that he (Mr
Catts) had heard what he (McCalD
said. Mr.. Cats replied that he would
take it and went on with his speech.
According to reports that reach
Live Oak the affair brought about
an exciting occasion and was the
chief topic of conversation in connec-
ton with the address.-Live OAK
Citizen.
We refer the foregoing to our good
friend, Senator Bitch of Montbrook
who says that any man who calls
Cats liar will straightway wear g
discolored eye.

Near Lima, Ohio, the other day, a
negro assaulted white woman. The
sheriff of the county arrested the ne
gro and sent him to a Jail in a neigh

unable to find the negro, made the
sheriff prisoner and tortured him
for hours until he gave up and re-
vealed the hiding place of the negro,
who, however, in the meantime, had
been removed to place of safety. A
