PLANKS READY
IN ADVANCE
WHAT TAFT STANDS FOR
WDI Knock Out Radical Planks
of Teddy
Washington, D. C„ March 18.—As
suming that William H. Taft will be
the presidential nominee of the repub
lican party, the leaders of the Repub
lican party are busy discussing the
character of the platform that is to be
adopted by the Chicago convention in
June.
It is known that at several import
ant conferences among the republican
leaders the question of a platform has
been carefully considered, and it has
been determined to put in a plank
strongly indorsing the attitude of
President Taft in prosecuting trusts
under the Sherman law.
Every plank that is being considered
has in view the character, personality
and achievements of President Taft.
It has been informally agreed that
there shall be no reference to Cana
dian reciprocity, and that there shal 1
be liberal labor planks. It is the pres
ent intention to give strong indorse
ment to a parcels post system, and it
is understood that many of the South
ern and rural delegates have deter
mined to fight for a plank recommend
ing federal aid in the building of in
terstate highways.
The platform, however, will deal
chiefly with the tariff, and the pledge
of the last republican convention for
a tariff that will equal the difference
in the cost of production at home and
broad, with a fair profit to the Ameri
can manufacturer, will be repeated. It
also is likely that the convention will
indorse the tariff commission, and put
the principle of protection and wages

A VERT APPROPRIATE VERSE
“Why are you so particular wmen
postal card you purchase?” asked
Olive of her friend Gwendolyn as they
stood before a postal rack in an up-to
date drug store. It couldn’t have
taken England longer to purchase the
Suez canal than it takes you to decide
upon a little piece of pasteboard.
“Promise you’ll not tell. Jim sent
me a card all decorated with forget
me-nots, and a little verse saying:
“ 'Blossons Blue as the sky
To my friend will say
Kindest thoughts and good will
This card brings with it today.’
“Now I’m trying to find an appro
priate one to send in return.”
“Don’t waste your time. Jim cer
tainly didn't. He must have bought
those cards by the gross, as five girls,
including myself, received similar
ones. So you’re not the favored one,”
said Olive carelessly.
“If that’s true, then any old card
will do. I’ll scribble the address on
this one without even looking on the
other side,” returned Gwendolyn, her
cheeks blushing from Ihe humiliating
thought, how she hud searched, east,
west, north and south for a card.
All Gwendolyn's waking and sleep
ing hours had been occupied with
Jim’s image. Never again could she
hope to meet anyone so congenial, and
now she knew positively that she was
only one amongst many in his
thoughts.

; dolyn Regretful instead of Gwendolyn
| Barret,” Olive told her. "Whatever you
I do you regret it, so it doesn't matter
much what you do,” as Gwendolyn
| kept repeating how sorry she was that
she mailed the card in such haste.
The following day Gwendolyn was
greatly perplexed to receive a tele
gram.
“Arrive at 10 a. m. Have the cour
age now to tell you everything.”
Gwendolyn could not solve the mys
tery. Jim was always so confidential
with her. Was he going to announce
his engagement to some other girl?
How could she stand the strain?
When Jim met Gwendolyn he tried
to embrace her in the most lover-like
fashion.
“How dare you," said Gwendolyn, in
dignantly pushing the young man
aside. “Since when are you accustom
ed to taking such liberties? No man
but the man 1 marry will I allow to
kiss me.”
“Then I’m the man,” announced Jim.
“Aren’t we engaged? Didn’t you pity
me because I wasn't courageous
enough to propose and sent me this
postal?”
Gwendolyn, taking the card, read:
“Here's a lover’s knot,
Can you tie it?
I know the way,
So let’s try it.”
Then she attempted to explain how
and why she had sent that one.
“My dear,” said Jim, “I only sent
you the same as the others who were
kind to me while I was here, for you
never showed any special interest, and
usually acted like a human icicle when
I was around.”
“That’s because I cared so much. I
w r as too proud to show my feelings,”
said Gwendolyn.
“Those cards didn’t signify any
thing, but this one," he added in a ten
der tone, “is worth more than all the
power, money and glory in the world
to me.”
“Oh, Jim, to think I had to propose
to you, but I’m glad I am a victim of
circumstances, only if you really, truly
love me, don’t ever tell how we be
came engaged.” ,
COURTESY MADE A FINE ART
Japanese Excel All Peoples in Flow
ery Expressions of Polite
ness.
Courtesy is a characteristic of the
Japanese, especially amongst offi
cials, and Mr. A. M. Thompson, in
describing his travels through the
Land of the Chrysanthemum, says
that even the word "please” is in
Japan elaborated into a lingual art.
Here is an example:
“The guard in the train to Tokio
caused us much amusement. When he
came round to examine tickets he be
gan by standing at the end of the car,
took off his cap to the honorable as
sembly, bowed to the ground, rubbed
his knees with his hands, drew in his
breath audibly, and delivered himself
of an announcement in Japanese which
[ translate as follows:
“ ‘Your most honorable excellencies
and most augustly-deigning-to-be
pleased ones, I hope you will pardon
this creature of mud for having been
born into this world to ask you, most
gracious and superior ones, to show
your augustly blessed tickets, after
which 1 beg you will honorably deign
to grind and crush me, w'ho am but
as a snail of the soil beneath your
kindly sandals!’
“The passengers bowed profoundly
in return, rubbed their knees with
their hands, sucked in their breath
with the peculiar whistling sound
which is the special expression of a
Japanese greeting, and then produced
their honorable tickets. After this
tnere was more bowing on both sides,
*.nd the guard, still bowing, vanished.”

HOT WEATHER NOW SETS IN
No End oi Their Work Ahead
Tor Planters
This week will be a busy one with
the farmers of Sumter county if weath
er conditions are favorable and the
rains cease for a time, as all of them
will be busy planting corn and cotton.
Already greatly delayed in their
work, every energy w’ill be bent to the
end of geeting seed in the ground,
even upon land but poorly prepared
Corn planting, not yet begun, should
have been finished long ago, and it is
possible that the acreage may be cut
down in order to get ready for cotton
planting—the all-important crop. In
this, too, the acreage will necessarily
be reduced, as much of the best lands
will be too wet for plowing for several
weeks. The crop prospect at this time
s far from encouraging, in strik
ing contrast with more favorable con
e's last spring, when at this time
*’-r> greater part of the corn and cot

ration cannot possibly be given now,
and the planting of the crop will be
far from satisfactory to the farmers
generally.

ADVICE TO

Susan H. —There is no royal road to fat reduc
tion. Careful dieting is beneficial, and so is exer
cise. You should consult a physician as to the
best forms.
Miss A. L. B.— The lemon juice and other treat
ments you mention are apt to be disappointing in
stubborn cases of freckles. I would suggest that
you try a neW cream known as Wilson’s Freckle
Cream. This is for sale by good drug stores at 50c
the jar or may be obtained d rect from the Wilson
Freckle Cream Co., Charleston. S. C. It is entirely
harmless and is guaranteed. I have prescribed it
frequently in the past year with gratifying results,

to judge.
Again and again we have seen how a
few drops of this simple wash applied
to the skin, takes away the itch, in
stantly. And the cures all seem to be
| permanent.
D. D. D. Prescription made by the
D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago, is
composed of thymol, glycerine, oil of
wintergreen and other healing, soothing,
cooling ingredients. And if you are
just crazy with itch, you will feel
soothed and cooled, the itch absolutely
washed away the moment you applied
this D. D. D.
We have made fast friends of mors
