PARR SHOALS CASE
TO BE WITHDRAWN
WAR DEPARTMENT ISSUES IN
STRUCTIONS.
Department of Justice TO Orde,
Weston to Abandon Mat
ter.
II. MCGOWAN in The State.

| 2. H. McGoWan IN The State.
Washington, Aug. 6.-Nothing
more will be done with regard to the
removal of Parr Shoals dam.
| Some time ago when it became
known that Instructions had been
sent from the department of justice
at Washington to District Attorney
Francis H. Weston at Columbia to
institute proceedings for the removal
Of Parr Shoals dam, those interested
| in preserving the dam took the mat
ter up with Washington in the hope
that action might be deferred, If not
entirely abandoned, looking to the
dams removal. Certain influential
citizens of Columbia came to Wash
ington and saw officials Of both the
department of justice and the war
department regarding the matter and
one of the most interested of ali IN
the dams preservation was Senator
Dial. Recently Assistant Attorney
General Heron Of the department OF
Justice said that he had asked the
war department for rehearing. 10
dav Senator Dial announced that the
rehearing would be held, and upon
the matter being followed up and
more information being secured, Ii
was ascertained that it is highly i'm
probable that this will be done, mas
much as the war department has IN
structed the department Of justice to
abandon the entire matter and to IN
form District Attorney Weston to
this effect. This means that there
will be no court case, that Parr
Shoals will not be demolished ana
that the entire matter is now or soon
will be at an end, all contemplated
proceedings being withdrawn as soon
as the legal formalities connected
with the matter can be gone through
with.
Senator Dial said in discussing the
situation today that he was very
much gratifed at what had been
done. He was strongly opposed to
interference by the government anG
is certain that had suit been filed and
prosecuted and Parr Shoals ordered
removed, many thousands of dollars
in damages would have resulted.
Aside from the legal grounds which
he placed before the Washington au-
thorities, he said that from a common
sense viewpoint alone, he could not
see how the government could pro-
secute such case.
Now, however, it is all over and
the last of removing Parr Shoals has
been heard.
| The Parr Shoals dam is about
miles above Columbia on Broad rlv-
er. At this dam is located the plant
which generates the electric power
and lights for Columbia. A question
was raised as to the impounding OF
the waters to such an extent that
navigation was interfered with be-
low Columbia on the Congaree river:
and that certain regulations imposed
by the war department when con-
structing dams across navlgable
streams were not being complied
with.

address. A senatorial oligarchy,

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES

If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may have been the means of
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England sci
entists for a long time past have rec
ognized that catarrh is a constitutions
al disease and necessarily requires
constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently means
total deafness, or else the disease may
be driven down the air passages to-
wards the lungs which is equally as
dangerous. The following formula
which is used extensively in the damp
English climate is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially
efficacious to sufferers here who live
under more favorable climate condi-
tions.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce
Of Parmint Double strength. Take
this home and add to it 4 pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times day. This will
often bring quick relief from distress
ing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the inflamma-
ton in the eustachian tubes is re-
duced. Parmint used in this way acts
, directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system and has a
tonic action that helps to obtain the
desired results The preparation Is
easy to make, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Every person who has ca
tarrh or head noises or is hard of
hearing should give this treatment a
ial.-Advertisement.

"At IL years of age, with a capital of CENTS

Are the opportunities today as good as in
days gone by? Assuredly. There never was
greater opportunity. From out of the ranks of
the office boys, the clerks, the railroad employees
the rodmen, the students, the shopmen, the fac
tory workers, the statesmen of today will come
the great captains of tomorrow.
The opportunity is bigger today because the
active, the enterprising, the alert and capable
stand out in vivid contrast at time when there
is so much of inclination to shirk and loaf on the
job

ONE BOTTLE OF
DREC0 KILLED
MY CATARRH
Had a Constant Dripping Into
His Throat-Claims Dreco
Has Cured it.

Maybe other people have had Ca
tarrh as badly as l did, but they
would have to prove it to me before
Id believe 1t. l had almost constant
dripping into my throat from the back
of my nose, and in the morning my
nose and throat would be almost en-
tirely stopped up, and it took a good
long time before could get them free
enough to be comfortable"
Mr.. Ivon Murphy, of Greentown,
Ind. near Kokomo volunteered this
statement and offered it in the right
spirit as a possible benefit to other
sufferers from this most annoying
complaint.
MY breath was foul too, so much
so that l was ashamed to go into COM
pany at times. for I felt sure it must
be Objectionable to my friends. Hon
estly, l believe I took two dozen diff
ferent remedies, supposed to be good
for catarrh. and went to one doctor
after another, but at the finish I con-
sidered that l was just little worse
off than when began.
"Just bout this time, a friend told
me of a positive cure Of catarrh made
by Dreco. l didn't have any more
faith in 1t than the law allows, but
took one bottle for luck. Almost at
once l saw that was on the right
track; could see improvement right
along, and was comfortable in breath
ing freely for the first time in years,
and not trace of the drippings in
the throat.
You can take my word for It, I
kept right on, and am now finishing
up the second bottle, but it's my opin-
H. y
work, and I'm only taking the second
to sort of make sure of it. I know
that I'm going, to be entirely cured,
and it's pity that others don't know
all about Dreco You can tell them
about me, if you like"
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is highly recommended in Rich
mond by Glenn Thistlethwaite' seven
drug stores.-Advertisem

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Shirker Gets Nowhere; The Worker
Climbs

The philosophy in the foregoing caption may
not appeal to the average reader because it
seems to re-iterate an observation that does not
hold true in fact. Many of us may say that you
cannot prove the assertion, that luck is the
governing principle in success.
z Charles Schwab, in speech delivered before
the students of Princeton University not long
ago, said he wished he were young again because
the opportunities of forging to the front today
are infinitely greater than they were when he
was STRIPPING.
There never better opportunity, and
there never was more truth in the observation
that the worker will climb and the shirker get
nowhere. 1t can be said with truth that there
will be bigger jobs in the next ten years for the
trained man than there were ten years ago.
Richard Spilane recently made study of the
careers Of many big men in New York to see
whether they born with silver spoon in
their mouth started humby. The results of
mis- investigation incorporated in article

BCOk-VISITING

| found myself alone for an even
ing recently i would have preferred
an evening with some delightful
friend above anything.
But the evening was well on its
way. What should do to satisfy, in
measure, the craving for human
companionship?
l looked about me. There were my
books-friends of the years. Il will

And so l did.
I often go book-vfsiting at some
bookshop-the quainter the better.
And often | get so wrapped up in the
talk of some new book that l have TO
bride it hOnestly-and take it home
with me.
The happy thing about book-visiting
is that you may go to whom you will
stay as long as you want-and leave
without hunting anyone. You can sit
and talk with the greatest, and you
may have your own ideas and opin
ions as to their expressions.
Not until the old Sandman rascal
crept into my library and got up tC
some of his old tricks did | have tC

one who is constantly improving his
mind from association with the best
thinkers of the world daily adds tt
his power for usefulness.
Everyone should find time each day
TO visit some fine book.

to friend the other day and my
friend loved it so that | married then
