J. w. Tolbert the national COM
mitteeman still continues a thorn in
the flesh of the Republicans who
want to clean up South Carolina
tey make the assertion that h.e can
not attract to the party men of stand
ing and they point to the constantly
dwindling vote In the state under his
regime. But the fact remains that
robert is the national committee
man, and that he cannot be elected
from the office except by the action
or south Carolina Republicans. The
national committee can not fire him.
This could only be done through the
actlon or the state organization. One
way to bring this about would be by
building a new organization under
inc direction Of some other man than
Tolbert, even though Tolbert remain
ed nominally state chairman, while
ttis reconstruction process continued.
one or the aces in the Republican
congressional committee remarked
yesterday, "Well, President Harding
don't have to appoint Tolbert's selec-
4, tlons to offices. merely because Toll
bert suggests them, does he?" This
may mean nothing at all, for Tolbert
still has friends here, but it shows
the trend of mind Of the men who
want to see him displaced.
There is possibility that the
Sfemp committee may not visit Co.
lumbia and other southern cities, the
reason being that some of the Repub-
lican advisers do not want the South
to feel that it is being investigated.
Instead. some Republican scouts may
slip quietly into Democratic strong

OF internal revenue, has some good
words spoken for him with the Re-
publicans, and while there is nothing
definite on the subject yet he may be
retained as deputy collector under a

LIVES IN PERPETUAL TERROR
Man Falls From Train During Fight

Kansas City, Mo.-Reuben E. Hall
of Paris, Mo-, met face to face in a
Denver (Colo.) street man whom he
thought he had killed IA years ago
and the memory of whose alleged
death had haunted him all these years.
A letter telling of the remarkable
case came from Denver to /. 81.
Shatzer manager of the Tool Speciality
company. 1t was from Skaters half
brother, Reuben E. Hall.
Hall, a young farmer near Paris,
Mo-, went to the Kansas harvest fields
to work in 1907. He disappeared. The
letter received by Mr.. Shatzer was
signed with strange name, Harry e.
Thomas. 1t contained this story of the
disappearance of the new name:
In Perpetual Torment.
For ID years Hall, under the name
Of Harry E. Thomas Of Denver, has
quaked at the sight of police officer.
He has avoided all persons he knew
when he was Hall. He has spent wake
full nights, fearing arrest for murder.
A wife and then a child served to add
to his anxietes. What, if they should
discover he had killed a man?
But the worry is over. Thomas was
walking recently on Denver street.
He met the man for whose murder he
believed he was hunted, the letter
states. The two recognized each other
at the same time. The murdered
man held out his hand in greeting.

UNIVERSITY BOY A HERO

News received at the University
yesterday that Vernon Fasset, for
mer graduate, and one whose boy
hood was spent in Moscow, lost his
life in heroic effort to save the life
of young lady who had gone beyond
her depth in the sea while bathing at
Seaside, Oregon, cast quite gloom
over the inmates at the institution
and the members of the faculty who
knew him as praiseworthy young
man. The knowledge was tempered
with the fact that his life was bright
ened and beautified by sacrifice, and
that his attributes indexed his strong
young American character. His sac
rifice is not in vain. His eulogy on
the walls of the illustrious dead of
the University has yet to be written
and with the one bright clause che
gave his life to save another" The
young lady was rescued. The deceased
had begun a career that had been
deemed most promising. He had been
grain inspector in the neighboring
state and worthily represented one
of the graduates of the famous agri-
cultural school He had traits of char
acter that spelt personality that
was bound to make it's mark felt.
The University has again to record
that one of her sons passed away in
a most worthy cause.

school and talk to the boys and girls
on composition. He was rotund
figure of man, with an awkward
walk, but his face was spirituelle to

was conceived and skeletonized into
the leading feature of novel. He
would define the philogy of words
and lead up to their use in sentences
Charles Reade, another novelist,
author of "Foul Play" "Put Yourself
In His Place." and Its Never too Late

boys and girls. He was of big physi-
que, and had a nobility that shone in
his care for the boys and girls so as
not to hurt their feelings by his criti-
cisms. He had a countenance like
Oliver Goldsmith's but when he smiled
one forgot that, and we always caught
the infection of his CHEEKY laugh.
