PAYS FIFTY DOLLAR FINE.
Charged With Striking Father On
Head With Chair.

Gaffney, Jan. 9.-M. T. Atkins,
white. was tried in magistrate court
yesterday on a charge of having
struck h S father over the head with
a chair, infiicting painful wound.
The defendant testified that his faith
er was Quarreling with his mother
and that was the reason he gave for
striking the old man. AS the de-
fendant is about forty years of age
and his father about siXty-nine, the
magistrate told him that he could
have held the old man if he was ap-
prehensive of his doing bodily harm
to his mother, and proceeded to i'm
pose a fine of $50 or thirty days on
the public works. The defendant
promptly paid the fine and was dis
charged. At the same time the mag
istrate took occasion to give the fol-
lowing gratuitious information that
it should be unlawful for anyone to
interfere when a man and his wife
were quarreling."

BRYAN EXPLAINS TREATY.
Saws He and President Agree III Pur-

Chicago, Jan. 10.-William Jenn-
ings Bryan told reporters today that
he and President Wilson "agree in
purpose
eve both want immediate ratifica-
tion of the peace treaty and a speedy
establishment of the league of ma
.tions," he said. ''It is simply differ
ence Of opinion over method and
not a purpose.
'eThere is no reason why advocacy
of compromise should be interpreted
as opposition to the president. Mr..
Wilson is an official and his recon-
mendations travel by their own
weight.
"The constitution gives the presi-
dent the right to make recommends
tions to congress. 1t gives congress
the right to disregard the recon-
mendat!on just as it empowers con-
gress to pass laws and the president
to veto them"
Mr.. Bryan said sc senators favor
ratification of the treaty but differ
as to reservations. He advocated a
com promise so as to keep the treaty
from becoming campaign issue, add
ing:
"If the Republicans insist upon
reservations that the Democrats can
not accept then the Democrats will be
in a good position to take it as an
iss-a before the people,

LIVES NOT WASTED.
Orders Withdrawn After Signing of
ArmiStice.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Statements
made before a house war investigat-
ing committee that American lives
were needlesly wasted on armistice
day are denied in a letter from Cen
eral Pershing made public today by
Representative Fuller, Republican,
of Massachusetts.
General Pershing says the Ameri-
can troops were acting under general
instructions issued by Marshal Foch
to all allied commanders on Novem-
Der 9, 1918, and that orders for at
racks were withdrawn as soon as
possible after he was advised Of the
signing of the armistice. He also
SAYS statements that American troops
were ordered to the attack while
French divisions remained stationary
are wholly erroneous.
The generals letter is dated No.
vember 21, 1919, and is in reply to
charges contained in letter to Mr..
Fuller from Capt. George K. Live
more, of Winchester, Mass, former
operations officer of the One Hun
dred and Seventh Field Artillery bri-
gade of the Ninety-second (negro)
division. Mr.. Fuller explained that
he made the letter public in view of
statements recently made before tho
committee by Brigadier General Sher-
burne, commanding the artillery di-
vision of the Ninety-second division,
about which much of the controversy
regarding armistice day losses has
centered.

NOT SICK
AND NOT WELL
10 The Peculiar Situation Described,
zIR0N Iron Tonic Is Found Helpful.

It often happens that the organs of your
body do not function properly, for some
reason OF other. There is nothing really
wrong, and you are not sick. But Ger
tainly you are not we'll, either.
If you are in such a condition, read
what Mr.. VIM. M. Bass, Rt. |, Crossville,
Ala, did, and try Ziron Iron Tonic, as
he did. Mr. Bass says:
81 am nearly always, pretty well and
strong and do not need much medicine
excepting for headaches. But, recently,
when | had not been feeling very well
for a while, | knew | needed some soH
OF medicine to make me all right.
ltook Ziron and it made me strong and
we'll again."
Ziron puts iron into the blood, and, by
doing this, may prevent a serious attack
of illness, which you are liable to ''catch"
at any time if your system Is weakened
or your condition below par.
ziron has we'll proven its value as a
tonic. Try It when you feel the least BIT
out Of sorts, not quite as good as usual,
tired and weary.

CROSSINGS EXACT
HEAVY DEATH TOLL
SIXTY-ONE KILLED AND 1S4 IN
URED LAST YEAR.
Commission Reports.
Much Trackage Laid BY Southern
Last Year-Heayy Rails
Being Laid.

The annual report of the South
Carolina railroad commission shows
that during the year 1919 81 persons
were killed, mostly at grade crossings
in the State. Railroad employees are
not included in this list. The num-
Der of persons injured was 1S4, these
also mostly at grade crossings.
The number of employees of roads
killed was 16. Five passengers were
killed and 169 injured.
It is emphasized by the commission
that the physical standard of the
roads is not up to pre-war status, be-
cause of labor shortage and the in
ability to procure material. Ne ne"
roads ware built during the past
year, but double trackage of the
Southern railway progressed satisfac-
torily and will soon be completed.
There are now 129 miles of the
double track being used.
Excellent progress was also made
in the laying of heavier rails. Over
the different lines 14S miles of S5 and
90 pound rails and GA miles of relay
rails were laid replacing much light
er. Few steel bridges were erected,
because of the scarcity of materials.
Four depots were. built during the
war, two passenger sheds erected,
one passenger booth built, three de-
pots enlarged and three platforms
built or enlarged.

Believes, However, Bolsheviks

LONDON, July 5.--The Russian Boz
sheviks are not maintaining a tyranny

stands the test may be adopted as a
standard and others modelled on its
construction
Work on six Of these model vaults is
nearly half completed at the Bureau
of Standards
The vaults are Of concrete reinforced
with every material known to make
more impregrable the already staunch
walls There are big plates OF hard
steel which will be placed inside the
concrete. There are iron and steel
rails which are thrown In for good
measure, and there Is in one OF the
vaults a quantity of hard glass. This
glass, it is asserted, will dun the point
Of the sharpest drill. and repeated con
tact with the crystal will prove the
undoing Of the instrument
When the vaults are ready for the
test, concrete specialists and scientists
from the Bureau of Standards will be
allowed free rein They can do any
thing imaginable to break down the
concrete wall. They may use dyna-
