ABOUT THE AUTHOR
OF "SUWANEE RIVER

The editor of The Selma Times, In a
meditative mood for moment, 1.-THE
ALTERATION is quite accidental writes
in his paper:
"The tuneful and melodious swing of
the name 'Suwancee' is distinctly
Southern and Immediately suggests
picture of the ideal South Of rolling
sunny fields, lazy woodlands, skirting
broad, deep, mysterious streams fill
ed with alligators, and with snakes
dropping from the overhanging limbs
Of trees, magnolias filling the air with
sweet scent and the soft gray of cotton
fields in the distance.
"SuWanee" suggests brave youth
full chevalier In knickers and boots
lolling at the feet of beautiful maid
in large picture hat beneath huge
spreading tree, with two horses nib
bling along the grassy slope near at
hand. 1t is the South, the spirit of
the South, and the romance of the
South, with all the grand, and glor-
ious, and heat drawing traditions or
the South looming large behind it. It
is ours distinctly and peculiarly ours,
and one of the most dear possessions
we have left out of the revered past.
Let US keep it so, and honor and cher
ish il"
There is legend abroad that Fost
er not only never saw the little SUI
vance River down in Florida, but that
he merely looked over the map to find
the name of a river thai would suit
the mechanical needs OF rhyme writ
ing, and so it was that Sawanee was
found to be the most suitable of all
And, as is well known. Foster was not
Southern man, bu. Pennsylvania
according to Henry Watterson, kind
Of ne'er-do-wel, who driftod down 70
Kentucky. One would like to think that
some sentimental Southerner, one TO
the manor born loved this particular
river above all other rivers, and dedi-
Gated the immortal melody to 1t IN
an hour of exquisite rapture But such
picture is impossible. it is not even
unlikely that Foster was "in his cups"
when he wrote "Suwanee River" "My
Old Kentucky Home" and @Massa s
in de Cold Groun."
Nevertheless it is inconceivable that
Foster could have done better by his
themes had he been born and bred in
the atmosphere which he did so much
to celebrate.

of ownership, is dismal failure. Not
one instance Of it's success can be
pointed to except that the government
has been instrumental through its in
creases of wages to cause a disrest
among all classes of labor that will
take considerable cool-headedness to
overcome. Inferior service has been
given in every respect, even to the
post-office service, that much quoted
example of success along this line.
Give US the old competitive system and
we will get far better service than we
have been getting and at much less
cost.-Windom Citizen.

CHANGE DUE NOW

Prior to the last two or three years
the slogan of government ownership
was honey coated one to catch votes.
But in the last two years the sugar
has worn off and the people have had
q chance to see what the thing really
meant. Consequently a change vii!
have to be made in the medicine if the
advocates of that system expect to get
far with it, as the experiences of the
past two years has proven that gov

WHAT WE NEED MOST

You ask what The old town needs?
1t needs more men, men of deeds.
Not men who talk
Find Fault and balk
But men who'll give the best they got
To make the old town what she ought.
You say we need more factories,
More stores, more schools and charity
We grant it, friends,
But in the end
It's men who make them-is it true?
The thing the town needs most is you.
The new styles seem to be a great
saving on petticoats.-Ex.

BUILDING UP
YOUR TOWN

"The trouble with a lot of business
mems organization everywhere is
they think they must be pulling off
grand-stand plays all the time. It
looks well when the local newspaper
come out in big headlines and state
that another enterprise has been 10
Gated by our live-wire boosters. Towns
are just like individuals. Once in a
while a man gets rich by pulling off
spectacular deals, but nine-tenths
of the solid men of any community are
those who just stuck to the store or
office every day and made the most
of what they had.

as he claimed others had done. He
said that he appeared to present the
sentiment of the community and pre-
sented certain statements from the
testimony at the trial, which men,
bers of the board said that they con-
sidered doubtful. He remarked upon
rumors current in the community
and the Attorney General rejoined:
I'VE do not convict on rumors in en-
lightened communities and we don't
keep people in Jail on them either"
The Attorney General said that the
case developed that the testimony
against McMeen was mainly on
squabbles with his wife and his own
contradictory statements.
Mr.. Woods said that there were
elements of doubt in the case and
that if there were the man had GER
tainly undergone punishment enough
as compared with other homicide
cases. Mr.. Parker said that as rep
resentative of his people he would
say no, but he had bad quarter of
an hour with Mr.. Schaffer over the
signing of the petition which he
said he had signed as an individual
but came here to-day representing
his county.
We'll we can't and won't dispose
of cases on public sentiment" said
the Attorney General, who remarked
that in granting Communication a
former board had signified its doubt
and so had reputable men who had
signed the petition.
Doubts of Crime
Mr.. Patterson insisted upon ap-
pearing in his official capacity and
opposed the pardon undergoing a
cross fire of questions. When Mr..
Woods instanced the newspaper
threats, Mr.. Patterson said that he
had not known of them until they
appeared in the newspaper and that
he would not allude to them. He
declined to accept Mr.. Hulrs con-
tention that the dead woman took
the poison with suicidal intent or
by mistake, but the members of the
board said that there were many
who seemed to have doubts as to
the crime.
The board also heard the appeals
for Communication of the death sem
tences of Lewis Page. Fayette and
William Evans, Dauphin. Assistant
District Attorney Frank B. Wicker
sham opposed the appeal for mercy
made by w. H. Earnest and T. c.
McCarrell, Jr., and opposition was
also made to the Page appeal.
Short Time For $4,000
The Loomis case from Northamp-
ton county was continued.
Representative Joseph G. Marcus,
of Pittsburgh, had a rather lively
time before the Pardon Board when
he asked for mercy for Louis Beck,
convicted of stealing $4,000. The
Adams Express Company and the
man who sent the money appeared
against the pardon and members of
the board remarked that the court
had only made the maximum SEN
tence less than three years. The
District Attorneys Office also op-
| posed it.

project at headquarters in the
chamber offices this morning.
Harrisburg has not fallen down"
said Mr.. Mccormick, chairman, but
it is tagging. We cannot allow such
worthy project to lag. The ex-
perienced campaigners who assured
the success of the Liberty loans will
clean up the campaign in q day and
n half, ending Wednesday noon.
Seventy thousand dollars must be
raised, and it is better to get 1t
quickly than to allow the project to
drag along"
The division commanders of the
Liberty Loan were called into con-
ference to-day for final discussion
on the plan suggested by several
Harrisburgers, that the money be
raised by solicitation, as many citi-
zens have not the time to bring their
contributions into the Chamber Of
fees.
Workers to Report
All division commanders, team
captains, precinct lieutenants and
workers, will start the campaign
with a rousing meeting in the
Chestnut Street Auditorium Monday
evening at 7.30. Early Tuesday
morning the campaign will start and
continue until the roundup lunch
con meeting to be held Wednesday
at noon in the auditorium.
Subscriptions of 81 and upwards
will be accepted in cash, and pledges
for amounts exceeding SIS will be
accepted for payment to Stanley G..
Jean, treasurer, within three
months. Five dollars must be paid
on account on all subscriptions for
future payment.
Campaign buttons bearing the
wards, THE Last Shot" will be fur
nished to all who subscribe to this
last war fund. Window emblems,
bearing n picture of cannon firing

Doctor Tells How To Strengthen

Weeks Time In Many Instances

of many descriptions may be Won
derfully benefited by following the
simple rules. Here is the prescrip-
ton: Go to an active drug store
and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tab
lets. Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in
a fourth of a glass of water and al
low to dissolve. With this liquid
bathe the eye two to four times
daily. You should notice your eyes
clear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation will quickly
disappear. If your eyes are bother
ing YOU, even a little, take steps to
save them now before it is too late.
Many hopelessly blind might have
been saved if they had cared for
their eyes in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician
to whom the above article was sub
mitted, said: "Bon-Opto is a very re-
markable remedy. Its constituent in
gradients are well known to eminent
eve specialists and widely prescribed
by them. The manufacturers guaran-
tee il to strengthen eyesight so per
