Over So Years Ago

A young man who prsctioed
medicine in Pennsylvania became
famous and was called in consulta-
tion in many towns and cities b.
cause of his success in the treat
ment of disease. He finally made
up his mind to place some Of his
treatments before the entire United
States and, moving to Buffalo. he
put up what he called his Favorits
Prescription, and placed 1t with
tho druggists in every state In the
Union.
That was over fifty-five years
ago. For ffty-one years this Fa-
yorite Prescription of DR.. Pierce's

VALUABLE ROOSEVELT RELICS

New York, Oct. 24.-The Roosevelt
Association has received several
Roosevelt relics from the original
owners, dating back to the Colonel's
college days at Harvard and his ran
ching in the west. An appeal was
sent out several weeks ago for Roose-
welt relics.
Among them are the Roosevelt d.
ary of the South American trip, when
he discovered the "River Of Doubt;
the original manuscript Of his article
on Murder on the High Seas" writ
ten for the Metropolitan Magazine
two days after the sinking Of the Lu-
sitania; and q small brochure on "The
Summer Birds in the Adirondack"
written in collaboration with H. D.
Minot in college days.
Another document is the original
copy of letter written by Roosevelt
as Governor of this State to Mayor
Van Wyck, calling his attention to an
order issued by "Big Bill" Devery,
Chief Of Police, directing his subordi-
mates in the Police Department to dis
regard the Chief of the State Electi-
on Bureau. This letter was present.
ed to the association by Mrs. William
J. Young, widow of the Colonels
secretary at the time the letter was
written.
The ranch ledger was presented by
J. A. Ferris, storekeeper at Medora,
N. D. at the time that Colonel Roose-
welt had his ranch across the river,
and his brother Sylvanus, who was
one Of the Colonel's ranch managers.
The ranch ledger contains the ac-
counts of Theodore Roosevelt with
William Merrifield and Sylvanus Fer
ris, his two ranch managers on the
Chimney Butte ranch.
The contracts entered in the ledger
show that Roosevelt agreed to place
1900 head of cattle on the ranch at
cost not exceeding $4,000, over a
period of three years, and that Merri-
field and Ferris agreed to take charge
Of these cattle for a period of seven
years, the increase to be equally d.
vided between the party Of the first
part and the parties of the second
part.

Two Masked Bandits Shoot Farmer
Victim
Cort Barnick, Russian farmer, re-
siding near Max, was shot in the head
by two masked men who came to his
place according to word received in
Minot. The bullet, which lodged in
his skull, was removed by a surgeon
and he is reported to be recovering.
The men kicked in the door, and be-
gan searching the house, evidently be-
lieving Barnick had money hidden in
the house. As they entered the house
little girl slipped out and ran for as
sistance. The men tried to stop her,
but she succeeded in evading them.
They cut their visit short after the
girl escaped them, jumping into an
automobile and drove away.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE COTHRAN

The people of Abbeville, where he
has so many kindred and friends.
are pleased with the elevation of
Thomas P. Cothran % the Supreme
Court. They should be pleased most
of all because his learning, his alb
ty, and his high character fit him to
fill the position to which he has been
elected with credit to himself and
the state. Litigants with a righteous
cause too have reason to be pleased
at his election.
Mr.. Cothran merited the place
which he won. At times misunder-
stood perhaps, at other times beset
with the prejudices growing out of
his employment by the Southern Rail-
way, and at other times perhaps be-
ing unlucky in politics, because he is
no politician, it has taken long
time for the people to see and learn
of his fitness for high position. He
wins the position to which he has been
elected therefore, on merit.

THE PARDoNING POWER

The Spartanburg Journal, a little
while ago, was finding fault with
Governor Cooper for pardoning, or
paroling, a good many man-slayers
about Christmas time. The Journal
then suggested that the pardoning
power was too great power to be
lodged in one man and that it should
be taken away from the governor.
1t was suggested we believe that a
person who wants a pardon should
be required to apply to the court in
which he was convicted.
The Journal now commends Gov
ernor Neff for removing the pardon
ing board in Texas and for taking the
matter of pardoning convicts into his
own hands. The Governor, we believe,
Las adopted in some part the ideas
of the Journal that the court in
which, or judge, before whom, man
has been convicted must first take &C
ton before there can be pardon in
any case.
The question we suggest is not
without difficulty, however the con-
victed person must proceed, or to
whomsoever he must look. If the
prisons and penitentiaries are to be
instruments for the reforming of
criminals it may not seem unlikely
that eighteen out of the whole num-
Der (and Governor Cooper pardoned
eighteen we believe) have been re-
formed during the year. There is
no certainty that the courts would
have released fewer and none that
the courts would have given the ap-
plications more or better considera-
tion than did the Governor.
The pardoning power is a success
or a failure, good institution or a
bad one, accordingly as it is admins
tered, wherever it may be lodged.
We believe it was former Ambassador
Brice who said that it was not our re-
publican form of government which
had proved success, but the Ameri-
can people, and that the American
people would make a success of any
form of government. We are not so
sure Of all this, but the pardoring of
persons convicted of crimes will be-
properly carried out not by requiring
that the pardons be granted by one
tribunal, or one person, rather than
by another, but largely according to
the degree of care and responsibility
assumed by the person or tribunal in
whom or in which the power is lodg-
ed.
Few men, it may be said, who have
had a good taste. of prison life, ever
return to the paths of crime, though
some do.

ABOUT TREES

The street paving is going on ON
Church street and is going to be a
fine improvement on that side of
town. The neighbors are still on
friendly terms but there is some
lively talk about cutting the trees
down. The paving company warns
the residents that if the trees are
left, in few years the sidewalks
will be full of ridges and broken
places.
The majestic live oak in Fort
Pickens in front of the old Jane
Williams place has been cut down.
