So We as voters are wondering
whether or not all these songs

You also state in your letter
that Mr.. Edwards bOlted In 1910
and voted and advised his friends
to vote for Mr.. Bertram. Mr..
Robson, was then a citizen OF
Laurel county at that time, and |
know positively that is untrue
aud without foundation. So sure
ly you are trying to deceive us.
Mr.. Edwards is a true Republi-

at any time. He is true to his
country with his door latch on
the outside of his door to all
Americans. He had a wonderful
influence and left noble record
when he was ia Congress. The
Eastern end of the district has
decided to send him back under
the existing circumstances.

FATHERS DREAM LEADS TO
DISCOVERY OF SONS BODY
Had Been Missing Ten Days, and
Continued Search Failed to
Furnish a Clue

LAVONIA, Ga.-Oliver Knox, col
ored, was found last Sunday morn
ing in a well at the Farm ers Oil Mill
in Lavonia, after being lost for ten
days. Knox was employed at the
mill and was seen alive on Thursday,
November p, when he quit his work
at the mill to go home. Diligent
search had been made for his body
du-ing the intervening ten days and
the well had eveh been dragged for
his body.
On Saturday night of last week
Mart Knox, his father who lives at
Cannon, dreamed that the boy was in
a we'll at Lavonia. SO on Sunday
following the impulse of his dream
he again made his way toward Lavo-
MIA, going on foot. When he ar
rived here he went to this well first
and found the body of his son float
ing on top of the water.
The body was stiff and straight.
Opinions differ as. to the cause of
the body being in the we'll. Some think
it was thrown in and others think
he fell in and perhaps struck beam
which prevented his swimming or CIV
ing the alarm.

that had been dried and kept a year
were restored to their fresh state and

tached to the laboratory. Three hun
dred pounds was sent to a camp in
the south and served to the soldiers.
Reports from the camp site state that
those who ate the restored meat fail
ed to discover any difference between
1t and strictly fresh meat"
By the process, it was asserted, all
bone, waste fat and connective tissue
are removed from the meat or fish to
be treated, leaving 100 per cent food.
The meat is then cut into cubes or.
in the case of beef, into steaks, placed
IN a vacuum and subjected to a pc
Rod of drying at a relatively low
temperature. No other treatment is
necessary.
Research into the subject was be-
gun more than year ago at the
Hartman laboratories at Roosevelt
hospital, under DR.. K G. Falk, and
DR.. E. NJ. Frankel After the tests
had progressed sufficiently they were
transferred to Columbia, where they
were perfected with the cooperation
of Dr. Ralph H. Mckee, professor of
chemical engineering.

The WOMAN SUFFRAGE FIGHT
WILL BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN
Effort Renewed to Put it Over in
Senate Before March 3, if Pos
sible-Success Is Not Likely

WASHINGTON.-The suffragists
will begin all over their campaign to
put through the Susan B. Anthony
amendment to remove from the ballot
the qualification of sex, if the senate
does not adapt the pending resolu-
ton before March 3.
They. have planned a vigorous eff.
fort to shove the measure over be-
fore the present congress expires, but
they have an uphill road. Senators
Martin and Simmons, who have
charge of the revenue and the APP
preparation bills, will not permit their
measures to be delayed for woman
suffrage, when they are not in SYM
pathy with it. In this attitude they
are supported by Senators Penrose,
Lodge, Brandegee and other leading
republicans.
The National Woman's Party as
serts that a count of noses of men
elected to the sixty-siXth congress
gives them two-thirds in both house
and senate, but there are indications
that the claim is no better founded
than similar claims in the past. There
is serious doubt as to the ability of
the women to get another vote in the
senate of the next congress if PEN
rose, Lodge and Brandegee dominate
the republican organization.
