What We Car, Give
Your Children

More Of mothers time for
answering questions - for
rea ding, telling stories,
playing games -
More of mothers time
for the fixing of little dishes
that make for healthier
bodies and stronger minds
more time for mending,
bathing, and coddling.
More time for real
mothering.
These arc the things we
can give your children by
relieving you of the irk-
some, time-consuming bur
cen of the family wash.
We call for your family
bundle; we launder every
thing in the softest of pure
waters, and mild white

We use cereal starches,
too, and ireil ever so care
fully and ever so smoothly
in the way you yourself
would iron. Then we re-
turn every piece n e atly
folded, spotless, and asep-
tically clean.
And the cost of this ser
vice. which gives your
children so much more of
you, is actually less in the
long run than it costs to do
the washing at home in the
fatiguing, old-fashioned
way.

Swine Raising.

Because of the advent of the boil
weevil and the possibility of the loss
of the greater or lesser portion of the
cotton grown in our county, I think
chat it is high time that the leading
farmers of our county give special at
tention to swine raising, as think
it is one Of the leading divisions on
the farm. With an organization of
swine breeders association, the finest
breeds of swine or hogs will be gen.
orally raised and there would be
greater profits CLEANED from sales OF
shipments. This should be done CO.
operatively, where one farmer can
not load a car of hogs alone.
The shipment of a carload Of hogs
last season by Capt. Kennerly May
field should be a great lesson and a
great stimulant to all farmers who
desire to beat the boil Weevil.-E.D.
Jenkins, local agent.

John Dunbar Killed Near Main Part
of Town Tuesday Night.

Allendale, July 6.-John Dunbar,
a prominent citizen of Allendale, was
killed here about $50 o'clock to-
night by Richard Youmans, his bro
ther-inlaW. No words were passed
at the time of the shooting, it is said,
but it appeared at he coroner's in
quest that the shooting occurred as a
result of some difficulty last night.
The shooting was done with a sim
gle barreled shotgun, loaded with
buckshot. Dunbar was hit on the
right side, the shot penetrating the
right lung and entering the region Of
the heart. The first three fingers of
the right hand were torn off by the
shot.
There were several eye witnesses to
the shooting. All testified that YOU
mans shot without a word to Dun
bar. The shooting occurred in front
of the Allendale Fruit Co. Youmans
was taken in custody Immediately and
was carried to Barnwell and placed
in jail there

DEMOCRATS ADOPT PLATFORM
For Peace Treaty, Sympathy for Ire.
land, Nothing About Prohibition.

San Francisco, July 2.-The Demo-
cratic platform as framed in the res
olution committee, declaring for the
peace treaty, expressing sympathy for
Ireland and saying nothing at all
about prohibition, came unscathed
through furious flood fight today
and was adopted without amendment
in great avalanche of applause.
W. J. Bryan led the fight for adop-
tion of his bone dry plank, but it
was buried after a dramatic day of
debate by a majority so overwhelm-
ing that he did not even ask for roll
calls on the four other minority re-
ports which he had prepared
A cider, wine and beer plank, cham
pioned in an emotional speech by w.
Bourke- Cochran of New York, also
was thrown out by the convention,
along with a plank for recognition of
the Irish. republic, backed by several
organizations of Irish sympathizers.
In the battle for the platform as
framed, the administration forces
were led by Secretary Colby and Sen
ator Glass of Virginia during a debate
in which both sides stirred delegates
and spectators to repeated bursts of
emotional enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan got
bowling demonstration of 20 min
utes after he concluded his speech
for the bone dry plank, but when the
balloting began it became apparent
that much of the enthusiasm was a
personal tribute to his past services
to the party and not an expression of
sympathy with his present views.
With the platform adopted the con-
vention was up with it's schedule and
the voting on presidential candidates
began.

ged Derrick, afterwards chloroform-
ing both men. At Lovers Lane, about
two miles from the city large safe,
containing the payroll was thrown
from the train and there is evidence
that it was carted away from this
point in an automobile. The robber
remained on the train until the Sa-
vannah river, a mile from Lovers
Lane, had been crossed, where, at
point just beyond the bridge, he left
the express car. He was tracked
during the day to the Georgia side
and to a point where he reached the
highway between Augusta and Sa-
vannah, he having ferried over the
river to the Georgia side six miles
below the railroad on which the rob-
berry took place.
