THE MUSICAL DOCTOR.

DADIO fans will be pleased to
learn chat music has medicinal
powers, according to DIR. Alexander
Lambert of Bellevue Hospital, New
York City,
Discussing the therapeutical value
of music, he makes out such good
case that the audience cheers and
votes enough money to install SUI
per-radiophone in Bellevue. Says
DR.. Lambert:
Music can ease the strain of
life for a great number of patients,
but not for all. 1t calls up cheerful
thoughts and lessons monotony, and
it is of enormous benefit to the ner-
vously broken down, to children, and
to must surgical cases, for music APP
peals more to the emotions than to
reason.
people differ, not in opinion but
in stages Of intellectual and spiritual
development SO some want jazz and
some want fugues, and neither is
soothed by the music that pleases the
ether. Music might heal or injure
Wherever it cheers; it heals"
Jazz might cure one dying person
and kill another, thick with the dust
of culture. What's one mans meat

EDITORIAL
JEFF DAVIS AGAIN.

JEFFERSON DAVIS, president of
~ the Confederate States, was cap
tured 81 years ago this May by Mich,
igan cavalry, near Irwinsville.
Thomas Mile Hunter, one of the
cavalrymen, reminiscing at his home
in Spencer, Ohio, has put the lie to
the malicious myth that Davis, when
captured, was trying to escape in
women's clothes. Davis was too dig
nified and fearless for that. The
story started because they caught
him early in the morning, wearing a
bath robe.
Each member Of the Michigan cap
tors was awarded a bonus of $30R
in 1868. But Hunter says they
didn't get the money until 10 years
later. 1t will interest veterans of
the World War to know that govern
ment slowness is a chronic disease,
nothing new.

A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

Even the youths shall faint and be
weary, and the young men shall ut
terIy fall; but they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up like wings as
eagles; they shall run and not be
weary; they shall walk and not
faint.-Isaiah 40, 3o-31.
By persisting in habit of self
denial, we shall, beyond what | can
express, increase the inward powers
of mind, and shall produce that
chcerfulness and greatness of spirit
as will fit us for all good purposes
and shall not have lost pleasure. -
Henry More.

MURDER CHARGES
AGAINST ELEVEN

Florence, Ost. Six Of seven in
dictments returned by the grand jury
in the court of sessions for Florence
county, which convened today, were
for murder. John McClam and Nor
ris Pearce are the only white men
under indictment for murder, the rest
being negroes.
McClam is charged with stabbing
his nephew, Colon McClaim, to death,
and Pearce is charged with shooting
a negro to death on the streets of
Timmonsville.
The six cases noted, with five
brought over from a previous term of
court, make eleven murder cases on
the docket for trial at this term. It
is not likely that nearly all of them
will eb reached.
Francis H. Weston, former district
attorney for the Eastern district of
the United States court, is acting as
special judge for the Florence court.
He made splendid charge to the
grand jury in which he declared that
this state is in the throes of lawless
period and said that it was the udty
of every citizen to help remedy these
conditions. Law and order, with
especial reference to murder and the
violation of the prohibition laws, was
the essence OF. his charge. Most Of
the time of the court was taken up
today in organizing. The session will

SEARCH FOR GRAVE
Is ABANDONED

Hope has been abandoned by thu

of First Lieut.. William Augustus
Hudgens, battalion adjutant, On,
Hundred and Eighteenth infantry
who died on the field of wounds re
ceived when the Thirtieth division
was in action against the Hindenburt
line near Montbehain.
Representative Dominick, who ha
known Lieutenant Hudgens as com
rade in Spanish-American war day
and in whose district Mrs. Hudgens
and children reside, at Anderson, has
followed closely the efforts of the
graves registration service and othe,
governmental agencies concerned anC
for three years has insisted that ne
possibility be overlooked of locating
the officers grave.
Comrades in the service have also
done all that they could by cores
pondence and otherwise, but from the
moment when chaplain, locating
the body and going back for trans
portation to move it to burial place
found on returning that the body had
been taken away. no trace has been
obtained.
Gen. w. H. Hart, the quartermas
ter general, has finally written Rep
resentative Dominick:
o,>&
ly reached that the location of thr
grave of this officer or Identification
Of his remains, can not be accom-
plished. All clues have been follow
ed up and all possible Investigations
made without result.
THE latest is a report from Eu-
rope that search has been made OF
every foot of ground indicated by map
references given. This land is now
under cultivation and the owner re
ports that there were no graves there
on when he took possession in No
vember, 1918. Searches also were
made in two British military GENE
teries at Montbrehain and in the com
munal cemetery, as well as inquiries
made of British caretakers of five
other military cemeteries, without re-
suit.

usual measure the affection of the en-

LLOYD GEORGE
OUTLINES POSITION

London, Oct. 8 (By the Associated
Press).-The government tonight is
sued deport on the conference which
the labor deputations had with Pre-
mier Lloyd George on September II,
hitherto kept secret. The prime min
ister, in replying to the deputation's
stop the war" protests, the report
indicates, devoted his speech main.y
to proving that he government policy
had been identical with that long au-
vocated by the Labor party, namely,
maintenance of the freedom of the
straits under control of the league of
nations, and that the subject popula-
tions in Anatolia could not be left un-
der control of the Turks. But he re-
GREETED that this policy became impos-
sible because the United States,
France and Italy had declined to I'm
dertake the necessary mandates IN
these regions.
The prime minister argued that un
der the Angora pact the position of
the straits would be the same as It
was in 1914, when the Turks closed
the straits; therefore even control by
the league of nations would be useless
unless an adequate force was planted
there by the league to see that the
straits were kept free.
lie said the Kemalists had given no
undertaking to do anything more than
profler a verbal guarantee of the
freedom of the straits and "you IAN
not defend the straits by launching "a
covenant in the face of those irving
to force them
Lloyd George points out that
refusal to refer the matter to the
league of nations came from Others
not England. Asked whether freedom
of the straits meant Notifications in
the hands of some international body,
the premier replied that would be for
the league to decide. He also admitted
that there should not be interference
with the straits either by Great Brit
ain or any other nation. "Otherwise,
he added, "that is not internationaliza-
tion."
On the general question the prime
minister reiterated that the govern
ment policy was to prevent the war
from spreading into Europe and lie
contended that the strong measures
the government he'd already taken and
intended TO continue to take were the
best rreaais-of- prevention.
Lloyd George denied that the
British government had ever given
either money or arms to the Greeks;
on the contrary it had warned them
that if they went to Smyrna that they
were going entirely on their own re-
sponsibility and at their own ex-
pense." They were told also-"we can
not support you or take the respon-
sibility."
The premier said all he was now
doing was to treat the Turks and
Greeks alike in regard to the neutral
zones which the British were holding
for the allies and it was imperative
until peace conference was held To
rope.
His final remark to the deputation
was: "The one chance Of stopping the
war is for Kemal to know that we are
rot going to be turned out of the
straits. If he knows that he won't 90
there. If he believes that our nation
is divided and that he is getting en.
couragement to go on he will be ve,y
likely to pursue warlike policy"
