“BIG BOY.” VETERAN
FIRE HORSE, BREAKS
A LEG AND IS SHOT
Gloom has settled thickly over fire
headquarters and the men look as
cheerless as if one of their number were
dead. “Big Boy,” who had pulled the
•big truck for nearly three years, fell
and broke his leg in the stable yard at
West End. An examination by the
veterinary surgeon showed that his
case wms hopeless and a few minutes
later a kindly shot put an end to his
suffering
"Big Boy” w-as regarded as one of
the most valuable horses in the serv
ice. He had been slightly lame for a
and had been sent out to the
stable to recuperate. The unusual rest
made him feel like prancing and ca
vorting over the yard. Suddenly as he
turned his feet went out from under
him and he fell with a crash.
"Rod” and "Jess,” the other two of
the three who have pulled with "Big
Boy." stand as subdued in their stalls
as if they realized that their mate never
again would da.sh with them over the
rough streets.

NICHOLS GALLS
DETECTIVE LIAR
Spartanburg Man to Appear
Before Committee Thursday
to Refute Reed Charges.
SPARTANBURG, S. C„ July 17.
New sensations are. expected at Colum
bia tomorrow, when the legislative dis
pensary investigating committee re
convenes to hear the testimony of Sam
uel J. Nichols, the Spartanburg attor
ney, whom Detective E. S. Reed, of the
Burns agency, accused in Augusta,»on
Saturday, of entering into a plot to
buy a pardon from Governor Cole
L. Blease for a notorious safe robber,
a convict in the South Carolina peni
tentiary.
Following the conference here on
Monday between Chairman Carlisle, of
the Investigating committee, and At
torney Nichols, it was announced that
the session would be held at Columbia
to give Nichols an opportunity to give
his version of his negotiations with
Reed. But Nichols has not waited for
the committee hearing to give part of
his story. He has issued a statement
in which he calls Reed a “dirty liar.”
.Nichols says:
“I notice in a local paper that Mr.
Reed says he has a telegram w-hich
shows that Governor Blease accepted
the $15,000 bribe which they say was
offered They say further that the
telegram tells Reed, alias Porter, to
hurry on South and wind up the deal
and pay his money and get his par
don.
"I wish to saj- that this is one of the
dirtiest lies that has ben published in
connection with this outrageous re
flection on the governor and myself
and I can not allow it to go unnoticed
even until the committee meets again.
"Mr. Reed has been summoned by
Senator Carlisle at my request to ap
pear before the committee when I ap
pear and it is up to him to produce
such a telegram from me or admit
that he has lied in this as well as in
other parts of the transaction.
“I have in my possession the only
telegram which Porter received from
me after I left Spartanburg, which
telegram will be introduced by fne at
the hearing before the committee.”
The telegram, Nichols says, was as
follows:
“Things do not look good. Come to
Spartanburg at once."

COMPTROLLER TO BE
GIVEN PRIVILEGE OF
A HALF-PAY PENSION
Legislation agreed upon at a private
caucus of the leaders of council will
give Comptroller J. H. Goldsmith the
privilege to retire on a pension of half
pay, but will disbar three-fourths of
the city officials now for pen
sions.
The changes, which undoubtedly will
be adopted, are that an official must
have served thirty years Instead of
twenty continuously in the city’s serv
ice; that he must be 65 instead of 60
years old, and that when an official has
served 35 years, the Ust ten at a salary
of as much as $l5O per month, he has
the right to retire on half pay. The last
provision applies only to Comptroller
Gold smith.
The caucus did not accept the amend
ment, urged by some, that the council
should have the right to retire any of
ficial on a pension, even against his
will. Officials are to be retired only on
their own application.

Porch Furniture
Helps You To Live More Comfortably These Days
“Instead of taking a trip,” remarked a
smart woman the other day, “I am buy
ing a settee and a couple of chairs for my
porch.”
We were struck with the sound sense
of this womans conclusion. Formerly
she had gone away for several weeks each
summer and had enjoyed those several
weeks immensely, only to return to the
city and find that hot weather lasts more
than a few weeks. So this year she
planned differently—planned for comfort
able living during the whole long summer
season. She made of her porch an at
tractive little summer home, where she
could sew and read and receive her friends
and ENJOY living.
In this connection we wish to empha
size the superiority of Crex Furniture. It
is ideal, combining the strength that war
rants long service and graceful, artistic
lines. It may be had in a green finish or
.in a soft brown finish. And this brown
finish itself as much for liv
ing rooms as it does for porches.
There are Crex rockers, chairs, settees,
tables and swings.
Also, we are glad to announce the
arrival of more of those remarkable rock
maple rockers and chairs at $2.50. They
have rattan seats and backs.
The swing that we sell for $5.00 is per
haps the best value that we have ever
shown. It is of oak, with shaped seat,
stained in forest green. We will hang it
for you free of charge.

Colorado
Is Nature's Big Repair Shop
Your overhauling is due. Your nerves are frazzled.
Your sleep brings no rest. Your appetite is an insult to
the cook and your digestion is a loafer. You’re run down.
And why not? How long do you think blood and flesh
will submit to the pounding you’ve given yourself for the
last year?
Go out to Colorado and let the hills take you in hand.
Take a daily hath in the mountain air, forget your worries
and hurries and play for a month. Come back with man
power like horse power and make the next eleven months
count for twenty-four. It’s cheap to get a man who can
work like two at the cost of a month’s rest. And the
round-trip fares are low enough for any pocketbook.
Any way of going to Colorado is a good way, because it gets
you to Colorado. But the best service is that afforded by the
Rock Island Lines
The people you meet en route —the scenes through which
you pass—the many delightful surprises, make a trip On Rock
Island trains a part of your vacation. .
Through Sleeping Cars From the Southeast
—electric lighted and strictly modem—are operated in con
nection with the Frisco Lines.
The Colorado Flyer—every morning from St. Louis—and other fast daily trains
from St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, Chicago, Omaha and St. Joseph for Colorado,
Yellowstone Park and the Pacific Coast. Write for our booklets ‘‘Under the Tur
quoise Sly" and “ Little Journeys in Colorado" and details of fares and service.
