T RIPLEY
GoLDI

When Parr had finished reading the
last page of Peter Ripley's letter he
looked down to encounter Patria's d.
rect, uncompromising gaze. To her I'M
uttered inquiry he nodded slightly.
HE was sane," said Parr. HE
feared Japan-and a japanese assas-
sinated him. That much confirmation
of what he wrote we possess, beyond
refutation. There remains only to be
determined the actual existence of this
defense fund In a Secret
vault beneath this Don to which the
password is your namer What do you
make of that?'
Patria shook her head.
"It's all too strange. o.. I never
had any suspicion of anything of the
sort. . I'm afraid l don't quite
grasp it yeti"
1t was Patria who stumbled upon the
solution haphazard-or, as woman
would claim, intuitively.
"The password my name-Patria !
That sounds as though there must be
a safe door somewhere with a letter
combination or else :"
"Or else" Parr prompted as she
hesitated.
Look there !"

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
or Callus so 1t Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all; lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores,
but will positively rid ones feet of
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. If your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any whole
sale drug house for you.-Advertise-

We respectfully suggest that some
good woman in each church in the
county undertake the making of gal
Ion of grape wine next summer. the
said wine to be used for sacramental
purposes in her church. There is no
need that single quart of wine be
ordered for this purpose. We feel con-
fident that some worthy woman in
every church community can and will
do this small service for her church.

beautiful glows of the sunset had fad
ed away we arrived back at Tampa
with pleasant thoughts to be kept of
our trip to st. Petersburg. E
One more place of interest is out to
Ballast Point, where l was Sunday
afternoon. This is one of Tampa's
most important parks. The scenery
is beautiful. You will travel a long
distance along the water. There are
amusements going on at this place all

"VERO" WRITES FROM TAMPA.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 17.-As this is my
last letter from Tampa, will try to
tell you what have seen of this part
ish my trip in Jacksonville. Must say
my stay in Tampa has been very pleas
ant and really have seen for the past
week the most interesting parts of
Tampa.
Was out on the beach at De Soto
Park; surely is beautiful sight
There were several ships going out
from Tampa Bay. At this place there
is lots of fishing in small boats. You
can see the fish swimming in the
water From this park we went
through Ylor city; all people live there
are Cubans and Spaniards; certainly
is a curiosity to see them. 1 had the
pleasure of going in school COM
posed of Cuban children, which is
taught by Miss Bertie Altman; GER
tainly is amusing to hear them talk
and sing in their language. I also
went through one of the large cigar
factories, where most all of the cigars
that come to South Carolina are made;
certainly is interesting to watch how
they are made.
The places here seem so different
from our cities, for you can't see any
smoke at all, for most everything is
run by electricity.
Today l went out on the water on
one of Tampa's boats, the "Favorite,"
on which we travelled over to st. Pet
ersburg, about 20 miles to this place,
and must say this was a grand trip.
You could see lots of sea gulls and
pellicans in water and these pellicans
dived into the water for fish, on which
they live.
Also passed the Austrian boat.
which has been in Tampa Bay for two
years, as they came over they were
afraid to go back over the war zones
and anchored here. And now as the
the late war news they have disabled
this boat so if we should have war the
boat would be ours. We arrived at
ST. Petersburg at 10 o'clock and must
say this is a town of tourists. They
stay here all the winter. They are
from all parts of the State. The aw-
full cold weather brought more of them
here. At this place is large park
where all these visitors go and down
to the beach is an interesting sight.
At this place the water is colored
green, which is a beautiful sight with
the pretty blue water and green water
roaring side by side and not mixing,
and at this place is a lot of bathing
There is something of interest all day
to be seen there. There is a place
there which is made completely of
shells with flowers growing among
them, which is very beautiful
Leaving this place at $3.50 in the
afternoon we took the boat for Tampa
where I witnessed one of the grandest
sights I ever saw-the setting of the
sun on water-which is certainly
beautiful for anybody to see the re-
Election on the water and the shades
of different hues is wonderful. It
makes US think how great and won

THE QUART-A-MONTH.

From the reading of the one-quart-
a-month liquor bill, it appears to us
to be just about "bone dry" If this
law is carried out, it is going to
answer all practical purposes. The
law becomes effective April 20, and
backed up by the Webb-Kenyon fed
eral law it is thing with teeth. 1t is
going to put the blind tiger in the
closest place he has yet occupied in
this State. We advise everybody to
read this law. 1t will not be amiss
for it is stringent indeed, and many,
through ignorance, will violate this
law, if they do no Inform themselves.
Read the law as published elsewhere in
this issue.
And while we are at it, we beg to
call attention to our city ordinance
along the same line. Chief of Police
Milo H. Evans, in speaking to Times
man this week, emphatically declares
that he is planning to put stop to
certain violations of the city liquor
laws. He has spoken to the proprietors
of all cafes, pool rooms and other pub
lie concerns where men congregate
and drink, asking the cooperation of
n int1 u
allow no drinking in their places of
business. He says all of them have
stated that they would cooperate with
the city authorities in this matter. One
portion of the city ordinance which
Chief Evans desires be brought to the
notice of the public reads as follows:
"Section 4. Keeping and Storing One
Gallon and Under-It shall be unlaw-
full on and after the 1st day of Jan
uary A. D., 1916, for any person, firm,
corporation or agent to keep and store
in any place within this city any u
quors or alcoholic beverages as men
toned in section one (D herein, in
any quantity exceeding one 1) gall
lon and that no place or depository of
any such liquors in any quantity from
one (1) gallon and lesser quantities
shall be lawfully kept or stored ex-
cepting in the private living room or
home of the true owner thereof"
We certainly commend the efforts of
the city authorities are making in this
matter The blind tigers have for
many day had things about as they
desired them. The end is now in
sight. The city law, the State law and
the federal law unite in making it
more and more hazardous to sell whis-
key Illegally. The chain gang stares
the blind tiger in the face and it is
not going to be hard to put an end
to them.
Recently a citizen of the county,
who is opposed to prohibition, said:
ooh, well, you cranks can go ahead
with your 'bone-dry' prohibition, but
Illicit distilleries will spring up all
over the county" To this we have
these remarks in reply: Those who
anticipate distilling liquor had better
look up the federal law. A careful
reading of the same will make them
ponder long and we'll before venturing
