JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—With the products of every part of Florida on display, the annual Florida Exposi tion-Fair was opened Wednesday and will last two months.

It constitutes a very important connect ing link in the canal tow-path, that begins at the Broad street bridge across the canal and terminates at the locks. It is traversed by mules that tow the canal flat-boats and af fords a safe and convenient passage way for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Governor Ansel Recommends Reclamation Carolina Swamps Governor and Other State Officials Were Inau gurated in the Palmetto State Thursday. Special to The Herald. COLUMBIA, S. O. —Gov. Martin F. Ansel and Lieutenant Governor Tlios. G. McLeod were formally inaugurated for their second terms Tuesday by a joint convention of the general as sembly, Associate Justice Woods ad ministering the oath of office to both. Former Lieutenant Governor W. L. Mauldin, of Greenville, now president pro tem of the senate, was the pre siding officer. There were not many spectators. Governor Ansel's inau gural address was the shortest de livered on such an occasion in many years. His first address two years ago having in his opinion sufficient ly outlined his general policy. Governor Ansel's Address. Gentlemen of the General Assembly and My Fellow Citizens: For the second time I am here to assume the duties -and responsibili ties of the highest state office in the gift of the people. For a second time, by the votes of the people, 1 am exalted to the position of gover nor of this great commonwealth. 1 am truly grateful for this manifesta tion of confidence and esteem and ' am fully sensible of my inability to discharge fully the duties incumbent upon me without your valuable and necessary assistance. 1 plead for a continuance of the sympathy and help that you have given me during the past two years. 1 have endeavored to discharge the duties of my office with fidelity ana with an eye single to the best inter ests of ail the people. That I have made mistakes goes without saying but they have been of the head and not of the' heart. Progressive Carolina. South Carolina has made much progress in moral, educational and material lines in the past few years and has a bright future in store; the people are fully alive to the great possibilities of even greater progress ft) the years to come and we see the signs of prosperity on every hand. We should be paying more attention, however, to the conservation of our many natural resources—our lands, forests and water-courseß. Much thought is now being given to this subject in all the states in the Un ion, and we should not lag behind. Water Powers. There is now being utilized in this state, one hundred and seventy-five thousand liorse-power of water-power to generate electricity and for other purposes. There is still about one hundred and seventy-five thousand horse-power undeveloped. My be lief is that before many years this power, now going to waste, will he harnessed and used to help supply the needs of our growing industries. Our farms are producing a reason able income and profit, and as the farmer is the only producer of those things which go to sustain life, every inducement should bo given to the boy to “stay on the farm.” Manufacture of Cotton. In the manufacture of cotton, we are second, in number of spindles, to but one state in the Union. Had 1 time, I could give the out-pul of the mills, the value of the product and the number of employees. Educational Institutions. The educational institutions of the state are sending out each year young men and women well equipped fbr the battle of life and there is work for all of them to do. The country is calling for educated young men and women. j I desire, at this time, to refer to j two matters, which I regard as very important to the future progress of the state and which are not mention ed in my annual message: Swamp Drainage. The time has come in my judgment when we should give some attention to the question of drainage of our swamps and wet lands. There are in this state over three million acres of these lands that can be reclaimed |at a reasonable cost The question naturally arises, what can we do? I suggest that you appoint a drainage commission whose duty it shall be to get up all the data as to vrhere these lands are located; the probable cost of reclaiming and the best plan of paying for the drainage. Let this commission report to the general as sembly and then intelligent action can be taken. Good Roads. Another important matter that should engage our attention is the one of “good roads.” Every good citizen of the state is interested in this vital question. Conventions and i conferences are being held in many! of the states to discuss it. The gov ernors of most, of the states are call> ing the attention of their legislatures 1 to it. Some of the counties in this j RheumdtisnL “My mother is a great sufferer from rheumatism, and Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills is the only remedy that relieve her.’’ MRS. G. DAVENPORT, Roycefield, N. J. For the pains of rheumatism there is nothing that can equal Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They overcome that nervous irri tation, relieve the pain and swelling, while they have a tendency to allay fever. If taken as directed they arc invaluable to chronic sufferers, ar, the weakening effect of pain is less ened. Try them —your druggist sells them. The first package will benefit; If not, your druggist will return your money. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. THRD’A LOBEHETTE HAVE YOU HEARD THE LITTLE episode of the Hill lady and Judge Taft? After the first rush—hut surely there must be a politer word if only one could find it—of guests at the Country club reception, those who were making the introductions evi dently wearied of the task. This is how it happened that this particular lady—who is one of the prettiest women in or near Augusta by-the-way—found herself unin induc ed to the guest of honor, and so de termined to introduce herself. Going up to the very great man, and holding cut her hand in the sweetly cordial yet regal manner characteristic of her, she said: “I atn Mrs. (calling her name.) Who are you?" Now there has been considerable difference of opinion among those standing near as to what Mr. Taft really did say in reply, and the oth er leading character in the episode is naturally too modest to tell the truth about it, but it is emphatically asserted by some that as quick as a flash the great man replied, as he bent gallantly over the beautiful woman’s hand, “From henceforth a worshipper at your shrine, Madame.” DURING THESE DAYS OF MUCH greatness in Augusta, the liberal be sprinkling of the columns of our daily papers with all the titles allowed in democratic America reminds us of the Northern visitor who was reading a report of a meeting of some kind held by negroes, in which all the names were given with “Col.” after each one. “I have always heard,” she said to her hostess, "that the South was fiill of colonels, hut I did not know that they were as plentiful as this. ’ In proportion as the love of titles, as we know them, grows in Amer ica, it decreases j n England, tjtat is among the nobility who are wearied by the misuse of honorary prefixes among these really having no right to them, and who therefore drop ti tles as much as possible in their own circles. Certain instances illustrative of the remarkable new order of things are given by a prominent periodical. While making certain purchases at a millinery shop one morning Ihe daughter of a famous statesman was directed to the counter “of the young lady a little further on” and the at tention of the clerk In question was attracted with these words: ‘‘Miss black velvet.” A very wealthy peeress with a line, age as long as that of the King of England went into a furniture shop and desired that a clerk who had waited upon her a few days before bo again sent to ner. “Is it the gentleman over there with a fair mustache?” inquired tha manager. "No,” said the irritated peeress, “It Is the nobleman next to him with the bald head.” ALL THE TALK OF POE INCl dental to the so-general celebration of his centenary, has onco more brought up the old discussion regard ing the difference between the words immoral and unmoral. A sentence upon which a good deal of this crit icism hinges is taken from a paper on Poe in “Putnam’s Monthly." “Low ell observed that he seemed wanting in the faculty of perceiving the pro founder ethics of art —in other words, that scientific criticism, as Poe con ceived it, is in a manner unmoral.” HOW DELIGHTFUL IS THAT AF ternoon hour at the Cranford club! We do not need to sing with the heathen poet who rhadposized over the book and the flagon beneath the sylvan shade, for at our doors we have something that is so much bet ter —a room all flowers and sunshine, the music of women's voices—with occasionally the silvery strain of a violin in between —for mental refresh ment the choice of many books, and for pabulum not mental the most de licious cakes, and tea brewed in a manner fit for the gods. And then to know it is all done In the name of sweet charity! No matter how indifferent we mav be to the claims of "otherdom,” we unquestionably like to bo occasion ally conscious of a good deed woil done in this sometimes naughty world and when this good deed includes the greatest possible kindness to oneself, the enjoyment of a magical hour made up of many beautiful things, —well then you know why all of us . . i state have gone to work and are mak- ! ing good roads. That they are need- I |ed in all of the counties every one i ‘will admit. The work that is done! should be of a permanent nature, and iit seems to me that, in order that the necessary information may be ob tained as to the best methods of mak ing good highways and the possible cost of each method, the department of agriculture should be charged with the duty of getting this data and re porting the same to you. 1 In North Carolina, the duties of road commissioner are placed upon the state geologist; In other states road ei'mmiHsioners are appointed for this work. I come to congratulate you, my fel low citizens, upon what has been done j along all these lines, and to ask th'at jeach of you will do his full duty In helping forward all that makes for [the betterment of our people. And now, as f take It upon my ■ self for a second time the responsi bilities and duties of this office, I iask that you will uphold my hands jin every good word and work, and. by your generous help and co-opera jtlon, give me that encouragement that I have a right to expect at your hands. By thus working together, we shall make South Carolina second to none In this union of Indestructible stateng Fifteen Men Perished In Terrible Lake Disaster Many Leaped Into Icy Waters of the Lake At tempting To Escape from the Deadly Fianioo. CHICAGO. —Fifteen men are be lieved to have perished and fifty more are dangerously hurt while others were trapped in a tunnel beneatli Lake Michigan, when fire destroyed the “Intermediate” city crib, off Sev enty-first street, in tlie most terrible lake disaster of years. A number of men it is said tried to save themselves by leaping into a our of the overhead trolley con necting the crib with the shore. The cable broke and they were precipi tated into the water, and it is feared they are lost. Others are trapped In the tunnel, where is stored several tons of dynamite, and they are In im minent peril of death from smoke or ignition of the explosives. Twenty-five others leaped into the icy waters of the lake. Most of them were saved by tugs, but all were burned and bruised and suffering from exposure. One man saved him self by clinging to a cake of ice. Physicians rushed to the piers and the neighboring cribs where the sur vivors were taken for medioal atten tion. Twenty are still missing. All who can’t go to the Taft Banquet tonight can visit the Arcadlum. At The Arcidum. When those who attend the Arca riium watch and listen to the arraign ment of woman by John H. W, Byrne they liltle realize that they are list ening to one who has done much to make vaudeville what it is today; to better the condition of the performer and by his trenchant pen to enter tain millions through magazines and periodicals. They little know that they are listening to a man with a vocabulary large enough to throw Shakespeare out of the running and to make lawyers, doctors, business men and the most learned men in the land wonder at ills grand com mand of the English language. 'JOSH' ISHLET SUS HE ISJIIDCEIT Special to The Herald. COLUMBIA, S. C. —“Citizen Josh” Ashley, representative from Ander son, shows no uneasiness over the action of Iho federal grand jury, which Tuesday night indicted him for peonage on twentycounts in connec tion with labor alleged to have been forcibly extorted on his farm from four negroes. The pase was worked up by the secret sorvied men sent down by the department of justice. Ashley came down from Anderson Wednesday with his attorney, former Senator Cole Please. He says he is innocent and Is surprised at the de velopments. Mr. Bealse and Dis trict, Attorney Cochran had a consul tation Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening Judge Brawley will fix the amount of bail. The date of the trial will be fixed later. It will not, be until after the legislature adjourns. The case Is the sole topic of conversation at the state house. in town as w-11, as on the Hill may be found at the Cranford tea room on most pleasant afternoons. THE LADY IN GREY. Be GROWS HAIR AND J 4/ CURES DANDRUFF Yes, Parisian Sage, the most in vigorating hair restorer, grows hair: the women of America, who have luxuriant hair, know it does, and that is why thousands of attractive wo men' throughout the land are regu larly using it.

Parisian Sage is the most delight ful hair tonic in the world. It makes the hair soft, lustrous and luxuriant in a few days. It is perfumed inos, daintily arid is not sticky or greasy. It stops falling hair, cures dandruff and itching scalp in two weeks or money back. This Is what Mrs. Elizabeth E. An derson, Mechanic,sburg, Pa., writes: "I had given up hope of ever Be ing cured of dandruff, when I pur chased a bottle of Parisian Sage. It, has entirely removed the dandruff, and has started a growth of new hair, and all this after having been trou bled for 15 years. I cheerfully recommend Parisian Sage.” Alexander Drug Co., Is the regu larly appointed agent in Augusta for Parisian Sage, and they will sell you a large bottle under a rigid guara antee for SO cents.
