is caused by the breath. Most people

SENDS BULLET INTO HEAD.
Oklahoma Woman, Visiting in Andes'-
son, Commits Suicide.

Anderson, Feb. 28.--Mrs. Robert
f. Irby, wife of a well-known cotton
man of Oklahoma City, Okla, who
has Offices in several large cities in
the cotton belt, committed suicide
here this morning by shooting her
self with a pistol. The bullet en-
tered her right temple and passed
through her head.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irby arrived here Fri
day to see their friends, Capt. and
Mrs. r. J. Ramer. Mr.. Irby was
called back to New York on Sunday
and because of Mrs. Irby's extreme
nervous condition, she was prevailed
upon to remain here and visit the
Ramers. The tragedy occurred at
the Ramer home before any of the
household had gotten up for break
fast. Mrs. lrby fired the shot as she
lay in bed, death resulting thirty
minutes later. She was unconscious
until the end and never left any note
giving reasons for the act. Ill health
is given as the cause and after a con-
ference with the examining physi-
cian who was called in, the coroner
Announced that he did not think an
inquest necessary.
-"i"' NY was 70 years OI age ana
married Mr.. Irby last Christmas. AS
Mrs. Bentley, before her marriage to
Mr.. Irhy, she visited Anderson on
two occasions, and was social favor
itc here. The body will be taken to
Oklahoma City for burial. Capt. Ra-
mcr at whose home the suicidal act
was committed, Is captain Of the Ma
chine Gun Company Of the First
South Carolina Regiment and once
resided in Oklahoma City.

Prof. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect Laxative
DIR. CALDWELL'S SYRUP PEPSIN
AN IDEAL REMEDY FOR
CONSTIPATION.

In every family there is more or
less occasion for a laxative remedy.
1t Is to meet this need that Dr.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and
that this combination OF simple laXa-
tive herbs with pepsin fulfills it's pur-
pose is proven by its place in thou
sands Of American homes.
Prof. +. J. G. HertZog, the we'll
known linguist, 2341 North Orianna
ST., Philadelphia, Pa, wrote to DR..
Caldwell that he has used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results and that he and
his family consider it indeed a friend
in need, and always keep bottle of
it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause Of
much serious illness and is condi-
ton that should never be neglected
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should never be employed to re-
lieve constipation, because the very
violence Of their action shocks the en-
tire system. A mild laxative, such as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable, being mild and gentle in
its action, without gripping or other
pain or discomfort; it's freedom from
all opiate or narcotic drugs makes it
an ideal remedy for children.

NOT READY TO LEND FARNIEIfS.
Three Months Before Farm Loan
Bank Will BE in Operation.

Columbia, March 1.-The Colum-
bia Federal Farm Loan Bank is be-
ing flooded with applications from
farmers for loans, but it will be at
least three months before the bank
will be ready to begin to act on the
applications for loans. it was made
clear this morning. The machinery
Of the bank is Just now getting Or
ganized and nothing can be done to-
wards acting on loans until this is
attended to.
The farm loan associations, which
have been formed throughout this
and the other States comprising
this district are only tentatively or
ganized SO far. 1t will be necessary
for the appraisers Of the farm bank
to visit these associations and go
over their assets and every detail
connected with them and then make
report. This report will be for
warded through the proper channels
to Washington, where charter will
be issued for the farm loan associa-
tions and then they will be officially
organized, and not until then.
The farm bank has not yet ap-
pointed their appraisers and it will
probably be six weeks before they
can get the Office machinery perfect
ed and the appraisers appointed.

Sit Steady, Don't Rock the Boat.
{ Home and Farm,)

with tho announcement by Ger
many Of an unrestricted submarine
campaign on all classes Of shipping
after February l, the price of cotton
broke badly, in some cases amount
ing to $25 bale.
Our advice to Southern farmers is
TO sit steady in the boat and wait for
the storm to subside. Cotton Is worth
not cent less than it was on Janu-
airy 81. Indeed, it is worth more to-
day than 1t has ever been, and any
decrease in price is a gamblers fic-
tion and not a true value.
The nations OF Europe must have
American cotton-they cant wage
war without it, they can't have peace
without it. and they will pay any
price to get it.
Remember the panic OF August,
1911, and how soon after that cot
ton was selling at 20 cents There
is every indication that come peace
or come war cotton will continue to
increase in value.
