TELLS WHAT GAVE HIM RELIEF
AFTER SUFFERING AGONY With
RHEUMATISM IN BED THREE MONTHS
TOBACCO sELLsHIGH IN KENTUCKY
Indications Are that Even Better Prices
Will Be Paid for this Years Crop.

Editor County Record
| should think that it would be Of
interest to your readers and bene-
fit to your farmer patrons who are
interested in raising tobacco to hear
how the weed is selling in Kentucky.
Well. it is selling high. While it is
not quite so high as it opened up in
December, due mostly to railroad
congestion, the Burley tobacco this
week has averaged on the different
markets $26.50 to S28.5O. which, in
comparison with the average for the
last crop, is considerable advance.
Last years crop of Burley averaged
for the State $1S.56, so you see it is
about SO per hundred higher than
last years crop, which average then
was considered very high. 1t is the
general opinion now that this crop
Of BurIey will average around $27
and will doubtless give satisfaction
to planters.
With the present outlook, would
advise planting a good crop of to-
bacco in South Carolina, though no
man should fail to grow food crops
for home consumption and some to
spare for Uncle Sans soldier boys;
this is highly important and neces'
sary for the preservation of home
and government. am sure tobacco
will sell higher than last year, as
our country is supplying the world
with tobacco.
A prosperous New Year to The
County Record.

FAVORS WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Mr.. Camlin Argues for 1t and Predicts
Its Early Realization.

Editor County Record:
| wish to make few remarks az
to my views on woman suffrage.
We, or at least the most of s,think
it wrong for ladies to vote, but we
think it right for them to be school
teachers, to mould the future of our
sons and daughters. also to teach
them the mode of religion that they
should live in this world, This is all
right and proper, but when it comes
to the legal side of life we say, Oh.
no, the ladies shall be silent and po-
litically dead" Why. if these good
ladies of our State and nation can
dictate the moral. religious and eco
nomic life and also place the rising
generation upon a higher moral
plane, are not these same noble la
dies of our land competent to i'm
prove our political welfare. l VEN
ture to say when woman suffrage is
carried, which it will be within two
years, our politics will be placed on
higher plane.
Without the woman the man can
donothing. This was begun at the
gates of the garden of Eden. Give
the women equal rights at the BAL
lotbox and make soldiers of them to
carry blessing and sunshine to our
men while suffering on the battle
field, through the workings Of the
Red Cross society. This is Godsend
to man through woman. if our wo-
men can make so great society pos
sible, why can't they improve our
politics?
Let me say right here to your
readers:can't our politics stand some
purging? Who has made them black?
Did any lady of our country have q
hand in making it what it is? Will
the ladies make it any worse? IL
not, let's try them and see what will
be the result. speak for one voter
only. | stand flatfooted in favor of
the rights of the ladies at the ballot
box. If the ladies can and do sue
ceed in all other business affairs per-
tanning to the wellbeing of man, why
! should they not improve our politi-
cal life?
But some fellow will say. oh.
no,a woman should not have any
thing to do with politics; she is not
competent" Right then this numb
skull needs guardian appointed to
lead him out of the asylum at Co..
lumbia. Give the women their equal
rights and let them fully exercise
these God-given rights as He intend
ed them to do when He made this
mortal from a tender part Of the
first created man, Adam.

Biggest Washing Book

country have been brought to justice by
means of this remarkable book which is
most useful in cases of foul play and
when unidentified bodies are found. The
chief of the recent cases in which it en-
abled justice to be done swiftly was an
extraordinary one, which made sensa-
ton and almost succeeded in diverting
public attention from the war during the
surprisingly few days that it remained a
mystery.
Behind the ratings of a square in
Bloomsbury, the great boarding house
district of London in which, in peace
times, 30 many American tourists find
lodgings, and which is now largely in
habited by aliens, the dsmembered
trunk of woman was found. Head
less, armless and legless this trunk had
been otherwise SO mutilated that vir-
tually no marks by which the victim
might have been identified remained to
give a clue. All that the police had to
go on, in fact, consisted of piece OF
brown paper, about six inches by six, on
which was scrawled In faint lead PEN
| Gil the words, "Blodie Belgim, and two
| fine white sheets, in which the trunk
had been wrapped, one of which bore the
| laundry mark III H.
| This last, however, was all-suffcicnt.
Scotland Yard consulted its mighty
washing book, identified the laundry at
which the sheets had been washed and
the remainder of the chain which en-
meshed a cold-blooded murderer was not
| long in being forged. Within a week d
butcher named Noisin, French by nation
ality. stood in the dock of police mag
istrate's court, charged with the murder
of Madame Gerard, the wife of a French
soldier serving at the front. who had
been acting as his housekeeper The
murdered woman's head and limbs were
discovered at Voisin's business prem

ses. Although the evidence against the
butcher was largely circumstantial, 1t
was conclusive He was convicted and
is now under sentence of death, an APP
peal lodged on his behalf having been
recently dismissed.
Another recent murder case in which
Ia laundry mark played an important
part was the affair of Henry Lewis Sal
mon. wardrobe dealer in Bishops road,
Paddington. This tradesman was stabbed
to the heart in his shop in the evening
hours after he had put up his shutters,
robbery being the evident motive for the
crime. His assailant or assailants stuffed
a handkerchief which one of them is
supposed to have taken from his own
pocket into the victims mouth, prob
ably to stifle his cries. This handker
chief, which was a broad-hemmed, white
cotton one, was found to bear laundry
mark of a peculiar kind. The usual
practice of laundries in this country is
to mark linen with figures or letters, or
both. as in the case of the Regent Square
murder. but in this case there were only
six or seven herringbone stitches in
black cotton, these stitches being sewn
we'll inside the left corner of the hand
kerchief The police are now working
on this and other clues, but as to the
result Scotland Yard at present pre-
serves silence.
Perhaps the most striking instance on
record in this country of how laundry
marks assist the police was that of the
Yarmouth Beach mystery, when the .nu-
| tilated body of woman was discovered
on the western shore of that previous
to the war, popular seaside resort Over
400 laundries were visited by the police
| to discover the ownership of the linen
found on the body. 1t was traced at
\ last to small hand laundry at Wool
wich, whittier it had been sent by Mrs
Bennett Twelve hours later the dead
woman had been identified, and her hus-
band, Herbert John Bennett, was in Gus
tody, charged with her murder.
He had. as he thought ebliterated
every clue. He had persuaded the worn-
an to stay at Yarmouth under an as
sumed name He had also, by specious
pretenses, got her to hide her identity
| in every possible way. and he had de-
coyed her to the beach at dead-of night
and there strangled her-silently, swift
ly. secretly-while pretending to caress
her. But he overlooked the existence
of that one little telltale laundry mark
which brought him to the scaffold,
