conceived, and rightfully every time, for
bringing about results which medicines
and the prescribed forms pf treatment
could not. The roloted instances Of how
'Leerie" triumphed by her methods ore
most interesting

Appleton Il Go. Price, sl.75, net.
With Abraham Lincoln ms the central
figure, Mr.. Dixon presents, in the form

laid in Washington, in the late summer Of
1864 MIR Lincoln at that time was tor
mented day after day by the warrIng Gle
nlents Of the Republican party who IN
sisted he should do things which he be-
lived would be untimely and would
threaten to defeat his great obiect-the
preservation OF the Union. The Abolition
element fercely demanded an Emancipa-
tion Proclaim tion, the rabidly partisan
element insisted upon the repudlation Of
General Grant then in the midst OF has.
death struggle with Lee.
But that was the time, also, when Sher
man had started ON his memorable
march 10 the sea. and the fate OF ms
venture hung in the balance. President
Lincoln was in terrible suspense His
party enemies had succeeded in sending
the national committee 10 Washington
with peremptory orders for him 10 with
draw from the ticket. Thad Stevens Of
Pennsy lvania tempestuously seconded the
committees s demand. Meanwhile, Lincoln
'feverishly awaited word from Atlanta
At the critical minute the telegraph
instrument in his White House office
clicked, and the fateful message from
Sherman was read 10 the wearied and
worried President Atlanta Is yours and
fairly won" This glorious news enabled
Lincoln 10 triumph over his enemies and
they retired in shamed discontinue.
Mr. Dixon introduces several other
highly dramatic Incidents into the play,
including the mission Of a trusted spy TO
headquarters et Richmond,
and personal interview by the President
with General Mcclellan. his competitor
for the Presidency IN q word, "A Man
Of the People" is a most appealing drama,

Florence. Oct. 16-White caps, 200
strong, with horses and riders clad in

result the cotton fields next day. were
thick with cotton pickers and the
housewives of Lake City have all the

women they desire: Farmers now see
way out of the ruin which faced
them by the deterioration Of cotton
turning blue in the fields for the lack
of pickers. The white caps appeared
in the town Of Lake City about /
o'clock Thursday night. First they
called on some farmers who had been
paying as much as $3.50 hundred
pounds for picking cotton and sug-
|gested to them that this was too much
The price fell to 81 in twinkling.
Then the calalcade proceeded to the
negro section and threw out several
hints to the effect that more work and
less loafng among the negroes of
that section would perhaps beSa good
thing. Hence the new hordes Of pick
ers and the multitude of cooks and
washers today. Mayor W. H. White
head was also visited. It was then
about 2 o'clock in the morning. The
mayor came to his door and was told
that he should enforce the vagrancy
laws more vigorously. Mayor White
head responded by declaring that he
had attempted to enforce these laws
but his efforts had been met with Sc
