answer the telephone only to

are trained to connect the num

on the part of operators are
minimized by close supervision
and discipline.
Telephone users who call

a few weeks : go when things were at
their worst, there existed here as else
where a mental as well as a physical
and material, depression, the brighter
outlook on the future Is an improve
ment which Is having a beneficial ef
fect at the present.
Saturday Aiken was crowded. The
business slreets of the town presented
ihetr old-time appearance. Country
people flocked to town. The retail
•merchants were kept busy. It iivas
more like a Saturday, nearer n nor
unl Saturday of this season of the
t ear than Aiken has had this fall, per
haps.
While little cotton Is being sold,
there Is little complaint from banks
and merchants throughout the county
because of inability to collect ac
counts. As a rule, the farmers have
either sold enough cotton to ease their
creditors or have made satisfactory
arr;.ngrmente concerning their obllsra
t lons.
As a matter of fart people are realiz
ing here, aH (hey doubtless are In oth
er sections, that they are pulling
through even better than they thought
for, and that perhaps acounts for the
Improved mental condition.
Tourist Season Will Help.
An Aiken bank -the First National—
last week distributed among a good
number of members of a Christmas
savings club practically $5,000.
To improve local business conditions,
Aiken Is anticipating during the next
few months one of (he best tourist
seasons in the history of the resort.

Improvement at Wagner.
Mr. K. H. Jackson, president of the
Bank of Wagner, at Wagner in this
county, was in Aiken a few days ago,
and stated that the outlook for the
farmers in that section scorns brighter
than a few weeks ago.
About one-third oi the land in the
Wagner section has been sown in
grain stated Mr. Jackson, who added
that the cotton acreage will be very
materially curtailed next year. Not so
'much fertilizer will be used on tho
acreage that Is planted In cotton, and
this, too. will naturally reduce produc
tion
The merchants of Wagner, Mr. Jack
son said, feel more confident over the
present outlook.
"Everybody will pull through with
good management, ’’ added Mr. Jack
son.
Choaper to Buy Cotton.
Mr. A. W. Reynolds, among the more
progressive farmers of Aiken county,
declares that unless there is a material
Improvement In the cotton market be
fore planting time he will not only cut
tils acreage but will probably not grow
any cotton at all another year.
If.' said Mr. Reynolds. "T can buy
cotton from the speculators cheaper
Hum I rin produce It, It will be folly
to raise any cotton for the more we
ruise the less we will get for that which
we are holding over until next fall.”
Mr. Reynolds will raise hogs next
year, and feedstuffs to fatten them.

LIFE SENTENCE,
STOLE II HAM
Governor of Michigan Orders
the Parole of State’s Most
Widely Known Prisoner.
Lansing, Mich. Covernor Ferris has
ordered the parole of Michigan's most
widely known prisoner, Lewis Oliver,
a "lifer'' in Marquette, known as the
man who was sentenced for life for
stealing a ham.
Oliver w"s sent to Marquette by
Judge Howard Wiest of the Ingham
< ounty circuit, under the habitual
criminal net. It was Oliver's third
conviction for burglary. In 1891 Oliver
was sent to Jackson for three years
for burglary. In loss than three years
he was back. The second time tho
judge sentenced him to ten years in
Jackson, and warned him that if he
came buck a third time he would get
a life term, under the law. The sec
ond sentence began March 2.1. 1894,
and on March 28, 1904, Oliver broke
Into a store and stole two hams and
what cash was in the drawer, $8.50.
He wanted to plead guilty but Judge
Wiest refused the plea. Oliver was
convicted and smiled at the sentence
when it was delivered.
< 'ommentlng on the matter Judge
Wiest said:
"The Oliver case was the one case
in my life in which I was treated un
justly. I was paraded all over Mich
igan and In fact all over the country
as the Judge who sentenced a man for
life for stealing a ham. Such was not
the ease and any person who knew
anything about the ease knew better,
bill many people did not know and
hold the sentence against me until this
dav."

N*w Orleans, La., Nov. 23,1914
Messrs. A. B. Caster & Co.
New Orleans, La.
Gentlemen:
I believe you will be interested in a little story of Faith
in the South— a rather unusual story at this time:
Tlio Gibbs Preserving Company of Baltimore, whom you
mustknow favorably as Producersof the famous BULLHEAD
Brand CATSUP, and the equally famous BULL HEAD Brand
PRESERVES, are spending a large sum of money in Twenty
five Southern Cities to advertise their Products.
They are using fifteen to twenty thou* and lines of News
paper Advertising Space in this City this year. They are using
the same amount of space in twenty-four other Southern Cities.
Recognizing that the trade condition arising out of the pre
sent cotton situation is a transient one, they sent their money
into our section of the Country. lam of the impression that you
will agree with us that they are deserving of any reciprocity and
evidence of appreciation that we maybe able to send their way.
Therefore, I am going to suggest that you purchase right
now a stock of the Gibbs Preserving Company’s Products in
recognition of their sticking to the South when the South
needed them.
Their attractive Advertisements in this Paper, backed-up
by the high quality of their Products, is bound to move their
goods from your shelves. No doubt you have daily calls for
these goods.
Yours truly,
NEW ORLEANS ITEM,
. It occurs to the undersigned that the letter printed herewith,
1 w A * which is one of a great number sent out by the business man
ager of the New Orleans Item to retail and wholesale grocers of New Orleans,
will be a matter of interest to the whole South, and therefore we are print
ing it as a paid advertisement in the newspapers of twenty-five Southern
cities as part of our advertising campaign.

LAY OFF YOUNGER MEN.
Toledo, Ohio. —To give the older em
ployes an opportunity to make a living
during the winter months, several of
the railroads entering Toledo have
laid off a number of their younger
men.
Reduced traffic has caused the roads
to reduce their train crews to the low
est possible number and many em
ployes are now on furlough. These
have been advised to find employment
elsewhere until they are neded back in
the service. It is pointed out that the
railroads obligated to give their em
ployes an opportunity to make a fair
living wage hence they are obliged to
law rfff the younger men.
