NEWS OF NEARBY TOWNS
CIRCULATING PETITION FOR
RELEASE OF WILLIAM
f* STON MAN
Anderson, S. C. —Mr. Ben Rogers, a
former police officer of Pelzer, has
been spending several days in the city
circulating a petition for the pardon of
former policeman Claude Poore of
Williamston, who some months ago
shot and killed Joe Kelly, also a form
er police officer of the same town.
Mr. Rogers claims that he has five
hundred names on his petition and
that there are being circulated in dif
ferent sections of the county seven
other petitions praying that executive
clemency be exercised in behalf of the
slayer.
Mr. Rogers’ petition sets out that
Poore killed Kelley only after he had
been abused, cursed and threatened
and that Poore not only has a wife and
several small children dependent upon
him, but that he has become the father
of another child since his conviction.

“California Syrup of Figs’’
can’t harm tender stomach
or bowels.
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children’s ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of “Califor
nia Syrup of Figs,” then don’t worry,
because it is perfectly harmless, and
in a few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough “inside
cleansing" is oftimes all that is neces
sary. It should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups,
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, chil
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Look
carefully and see that it is made by
."he “California Fig Syrup Company.”

Hyomei the Great Catarrh
Remedy. “Just Breathe it”
and Be Cured.
Do not try to cure catarrh, head
colds or snuffles by taking drugs Into
the stomach that can do little more
than upset the digestion. These com
mon but dangerous diseases, that
often cause the loss of hearing and
the sense of smell and taste, cannot be
cured that way. The common-sense
way is to breathe Hyomei, which gets
the medication right where it is need
ed to heal the raw and inflamed lin
ing of the air passages, kill the germs
and restore the diseased tissue to a
perfectly healthy condition.
Hyomei is a mixture of antiseptic
and germicidal oils that you breathe
through a small inhaler. No bother;
no disagreeable medicine to swallow;
simply use the inhaler a few times
daily and the health-giving medica
tion of Hyomei will quickly soothe and
heal the irritated tissues—stop dis
tressing choking and unclean dis
charges of the nose—your breathe
freely—dull headaches cease, and
every catarrhal symptom soon van
ishes.
Druggists everywhere sell the Hyo
mei complete outfit that contains in
haler and bottle of medicine. There
Is nothing more economical, simple
• 'and pleasant to use, or that gives such
rapid and lasting benefit as Hyomei—
and perfectly harmless. T. G. How
ard sells it on the "No-cure-no-pay”
plan.

AIKEN FULL OF
CANDIDATES
Many Applicants For Post
master Carmen’s Position.
Time Expires Next Year;
Wants Re-election,
Aiken, S. C. —Throw a stone in Aiken
and, whatever direction it takes, the
likelihood is that the missile will, In
falling, strike at man who is either an
avowed candidate or who is talked of
as a candidate for the Aiken post
mastership.
There are so many applicants for the
place now held by Mr. C. E. Carmen,
who has held office since his first ap
pointment by President McKinley, that
Congressman Byrnes will find it diffi
cult to select from among them one
man to recommend to President Wilson
for appointment.
It is even being suggested here that
the congressman may, to hit upon one
man, leave the selection to a primary
election, in which the citizens might
designate their choice, but nothing of
a definite nature has as yet been
done.
Congressman James F. Byrnes is ex
pected home from Washington within
the next day or two.
Candidate for Re-election,
Postmaster Carmen's term will not
expire until sometime next year, but
several of the candidates, including
Mr. Carmen, who is a candidate for re
appointment, are already active, and
Congressman Byrnes is being besieged
with letters, applications and petitions.
The friends of Mr. C. E. Monts, who
for many years has been Southern
Railway ticket agent at Aiken, are
urging him for the place. Mr. Dave
Gaston, Jr., recently graduated from
the University of South Carolina law
department, is working for the place,
as are Mr. W. M. Eubanks, at present
a member of city council, and Mr. Lu
ther Weeks, and it is understood that
Mr. Lawrence Overstreet, Mr. T. J.
Southall and Mr. A. K. Lorenz, editor
of the Aiken Journal and Review, are
tentative candidates among several
others.
BUZZARDS ATTRACT
ATTENTION TO DEAD
NEGRO; ORANGEBURG
Orangeburg, S. C.—The badly decom
posed body of a colored man, about
20 years of age, was found late Wed
nesday afternoon in a corn field of E.
C. Bruce, near the southern limits of
Bamberg. Cotton pickers were at
trr-ted to the spot by carrion crows
at the body. The face and head had
been partly destroyed by the buzzards
but the body w'as identified as that of
Walter Kennedy, who is said to have
been to a party of gamblers who wer J
raided by the police Saturday night.
Several shots were fired and it is
believed by some that the negro wa~
shot and ran away to the spoi where
the body was found and there fell
and died, but no gunshot wounds could
be found about the body, and noth
ing has developed thus far to substan
tiate this belief.

the Exchange Telegraph Company, in
the Roman capital, Montenegrin troops
under General Bukovitch have defeat
ed 16,000 Austrians, supported by six
batteries of artillery, at a point north
east of Sarayevo.
The battle terminated In a hand-to
hand bayonet conflict, which lasted

ON THE FIRING LINE
What it means to most men.
There are many true heroes that
have perished in the European war
who “never smelled powder,” but who
succumbed to sickness after hard
campaigning—coupled with bad water
and lack of food. The sick and de
billtated man Is as much out of place
In his struggle for life and existence
as he would be on the firing line. On
the other hand the strong, vigorous
man, his veins filled with rich, red
blood, has an enormous advantage in
whatever position he may be fated to
occupy. In war or business.
The prompt and certain action of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery in driving all harmful germs and
Impurities from the blood, sets In mo- !
tlon the repair process which works
actively on the diseased membrane
where Catarrh flourishes unchecked or
where the skin gives warning of the
bad blood beneath by showing pim

and becomes wholesome and ruddy.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Speaking
... THE ...
Public Mind
CONCERNING THE COTTON SIT
UATION,
To The Herald.
Please publish in your valuable pa
per the enclosed clipping taken from
the Atlanta Constitution of Otcober
12 entitled “Southern President Re
duces Own Salary.”
I comend it to the serious consider
ation of the cotton mills In and around
Augusta. It is high time that they
“follow suit" and do likewise. The pa
tient and long-suffering stockholders
have gone without dividends for many
years In some Instances and It la now
time for the officers, officials and oth
ers drawing fat salaries to share with
them In the hard times, it will take
close, rigid economy in the manage
ment of these mills to keep them go
ing. Let this economy start at the top
and come down.
A MILL STOCKHOLDER.
SOUTHERN PRESIDENT
REDUCES OWN SALARY.
All Officials Receiving Over $2,500
Annually Aocept Temporary
Reductions.
Heading the list with a 20 per
cent reduction of his own salary,
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railroad, it was an
nounced Sunday night by H. W.
Miller, assistant to the president,
has Inaugurated a retrenchment
plan designed to affect equally all
officers and Interests in the cor
poration. Graduated reductions of
all salaries above $2,500 a year and
a reduction of the dividend of the
preferred stockholders from 5 to
4 per cent, payable In deferred
scrip, are Included.ln the plan.
"President Harison has deemed
It only fair,” the railroad state
ment says, "that officers of the
company should share the snort
flee.” Curtailment was made nec
essary, It adds, “by the current de
pression of business,” which
brought a "consequent reduction In
the opportunity of many hundreds
of employes to earn the wages to
which they have been accustomed.”
Under the plan salaries of $2,700
would be reduced 2 per cent and
the statement declares all officers
affected "accepted the situation
with loyal appreciation of neces
sity."
HOW ABOUT ITT
To The Herald;
Would some, of your correspondents
pleaße reply to this letter, giving me
the proper pronunciation of the words
in the following sentences?
(1) I am going to mage an Inquiry
about putting an advertisement in
“The I’hlllistine.”
(2) The artificer was harrassed by
his dolorous coadjutor.
(Signed) WANT-TO-KNOW.
CAN THE CITY THROUGH LEGAL
POWER COMPEL YOU TO SAC
RIFICE YOUR PROPERTY.
To The Herald.
Is it possible that the city can con
demn your property, because you do
not care to take less thnn the valua
tion price for same? If this is the
law, the statue on the tower of the
court house which represents Justice
should be removed immediately.
It seems that thiß law will be in ef
fect in regard to Buy street property,
for they are making very low offers
for valuable homes on the river front.
The people on Bay street are per
fectly willing to sell their property to
the city, but they do not care to sac
rifice their homes and receive far Ichs
than valuation, because they will prob
ably want to buy elsewhere, and de
sirable places in Augusta are very
high In price.
I think the levee commissioners
Rhould consider this matter very care
fully, because it is a question of seri
ous nature.
