TAFT 15 FIGHTING
FOB HOME STATE
President Must Defeat Roose

Count" in Political Game.

pr-r .*nt *f it. with the other 55 per
ent divided among the other three
candidate?
As a result of the Republican fight, it
is certain ‘hat two delegations will go
tn Chicago, one representing the or
ganized party of the state instructed]
for Taft, and the other delegation, rep
resenting the "home rule coterie in
structed for Roosevelt. It "ill then
be un to the national committee to de
cide
In the case of the Ttemocrats, how
ever, the likelihood of two delegations
to Baltimore was brushed aside when
the regular Democrats and the inde
pendents. through their state commit
tee joined together in the movement to
select th* national delegates.
With 75 per cent of the total conven
tion vote of 1,356 uninstructed, a per
plexing situation is presented, and no
one candidate can claim Tennessee,
though it is th* general belief that
Champ Clark has decidedly the best of
It and will m all probability get the
majority of the 24 votes to the national
conclave.
Clark Leads All the Rest.
Out oj the twentv votes in th* ten
congressional districts it is figured that
Clark will get ten or twelve, leaving
one-half of the district votes to be
divided between Underwood. Harmon
and Wilson
Since Clark now lead* with half or a
majority of the district vote, the big
gest fight will come in the selection of
the delegates at large. Unless some
one candidate develops a controlling
force in the convention, this vote will
go uninstructed, and there is something
of a tangible movement to have it this
way in order to bring about harmony
and prevent discord after the party has
suffered so much on that account.

Fight Grows Bitter.
Th* fight between th* regular and in

th* extreme. Both white men and n*

Chicago and instructed them for Taft. I

The abolition of questionable adver

ARCHBALD LURED
IHTOWBIFOE
Boland Lost $3,300 Through
the Federal Judge’s Decision,
Then Laid Snare for Him.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—How TV. P.
Boland, after a ten years fight, laid a
trap to ensnare Judge Robert W. Arch
bald of the commerce court was re
hearsed before the jgdiciary committee
by Allen B.'Cockrill, confidential clerk
of the interstate commerce commission,
at the opening of the Inquiry into the
charges against. Judge Archbald today.
Cockrill said that Boland, as his first
step in the trap, had advised E. J.
Williams, a friend of Judge Archbald,
of the existence of a culm bank be
longing to the Erie railroad after a
decision by the judge and caused Bo-
I land an expense of about $3,300. In
' Cockrill’s testimony Judge Archbald
was not mentioned by name, but was
referred to as "A." The substance of
hfs statement was that Archbald had
attempted to influence not only Boland,
but Charles Conn, of th* Laurel Elec
tric line, and Attorney Brownell, of th*
Erie railroad, to put through the deal,
which meant s3o,non profit
Denies Williams’ Statement.
"Mr. Williams neither denied that the
papers signed by himself and Judge
Archbald were al! right nor .indicated
an ignorance concerning them." said
Cockrill. "He glanced at the papers
several times and said he. remembered
them." This is a direct contradiction
of the. statement made by Williams on
the stand last week.
PASTOR RESCUES GIRL
AND THEN WEDS HER
SAVANNAH, GA., May 13.- A ro
mance. beginning two months ago when
Rev. Fred H. Williams rescued Miss
Emily L. Trice, of this city, from
drowning, resulted In the marriage of
the couple here yesterday.
Williams and Miss Trice were on a
boat rid* on Wilmington river, near
Thunderbolt. While stopcing from a
rowboat to a larger craft, both the
young people fell into the water. The
tide was running pretty strong, and
Williams had considerable difficulty in
getting out with the girl. Up to that
time th* couple had been good friends,
but an experience of that sort naturally
made a difference, and the friendship
i quickly ripened into something more

was able to put out the fire.

mained in bed. Her husband was ab
sent. A tall man entered through a
window, seized Mrs. Starr and bound
and gagged her. Then he admitted a
shorter man. Removing the gag, they
demanded where Mrs. Starr kept her
money. She said she had no money.

only a few dollars. Enraged; they set
fire to the bed and left. Dr. SXarr re
turned shortly afterward and found his

MAMM. IF YOU DON'T FEEL RIGHT,
TftKE DEILCIOUS “SYRUP OF FIGS"
Waste-clogged bowels, torpid liver and decaying food
in stomach cause the sick headache, gas, back
ache, sallowness, biliousness and indigestion.
All women get bilious, headachy and
constipated—simply because they don't
exercise enough. They don't eat
coarse food, or enough fruit and green
vegetables. Those are nature's ways
of keeping the liver and 30 feet of
bowels active; but very few women
employ them. Th* next best way is
delightful, fruity Syrup of Figs.
Nearly all ills of women can be
overcome with Syrup of Figs alone.
There is no need to have sick head
ache. backache, dizziness, stomach sour
and full of gases, bilious spells, sallow
ness. coated tongue, bad breath, bad
complexion, nervousness and depres
sion. The surest and safest remedy is
one or two teaspoonfuls of delicious
Syrup of Figs. Try this tonight—you’ll
feel splendid in the morning when the

No young woman, in the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother s Friend
prepares the expectant mother s sys
tem for the coming event, and Its usa
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature s supreme

given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
