ItKAIILEY, Ed IKiri , ABBEVILLE, S.( . ^-Published every W<*<hi?v>day frnr In advance. j I , l Wednesday, March 6 1912 Suggested Enlargement of Eureka. The Eureka hotel is one of the lest ho tels in South Carolina, but its sleeping apartments are inadequate, and there is really a scarcity of rooms in the city. ! , The Eureka is run in the best possible manner by Mrs. McFall. No hotel in South Carolina has better fare for a regu-1 lar thing, or has better rooms; but more rooms have for some time been a neces sity. The hotel company might do well to tako a long lease on the second-story rooms of the two stores of Rosenberg block, near est to the hotel, and fit them up as hotel rooms. This could be done by putting in sky-lights and additional windows. The two buildings could be connected near the rear by a neat brick passage, constructed in such way as to servo as a passage above, and arched below so as to serve as a porte cochere. Such a passage-wav could be made ornamental and would add greatly to the room accommodations of the hotel. A Correction. In last week's Press and Banner, in the list of cases handed the Grand Jury it was stated that John W. Leslie was indicted ^for disposing of crop under lien. The case was thrown out by the Solicitor, as it was ~ 4-U?4- TLTn T rxolio tctug nnf. in target ar? JB11UWU LUCfcb iUl.

V-, The burning of the Oregon Hotel in Greenwood Sunday morning is little less than a calamity to the town. No hotel in South Carolina was more popular with the traveling public, or has had more generous support. It is said that the entire block in which the hotel was located was burned, including Chipley's automobile storage room. The people of Greenwood are pub lic spirited and will soon build a greater and better hotel than the one that was de stroyed by iire. MAY LOSE WICKERSHAM IF NEGRO IS EJECTED Attorney General Threatens to Resign From Bar Association Unless Lewis is Retained . "Washington, March 4.?Attorney Gen eral Wickersham said today that he would resign from the American Bar association if that organization sustained the action of its executive committee in ousting William H. Lewis, a negro, assistant att orney general, from membership. The attorney general declared that he was not fighting for the admission of a netrio to the organization, but was waging a fight against the idea that the American Ear association could do a thing which he Opening this month enterir I siness and our bi s present size bee lave given.

He is master of his profession. The story of his violin reads like a novel. Music lovers 'will not soon have such an opportunity of hearing a master. Skov gaard played last summer at Palm Beach, Fla., for 500 per night. This indicates the class of entertainer he is. If you would hear the greatest violinist in America today go to hear Skovgaard tonight. Work of Rural Police. The'criminal court which closed here last week had one of the heaviest dockets that we recall for many years. The most striking feature of the court was the num ber of convictions. There were about sev enteen trials for various offenses, amongst them for murder, arson and like grave of fenses and there were thirteen convic tions. In two lighter offenses the con ' - - > J ? Ui>n/1 rnr) victea parties piuu ime? m uuo uuuuicu dollars each, and eleven were sent to the county chaingang. In several of the murder cases and in at least one case of arson the evidence was so conclusive that the parties confessed. In these cases, the rural police were early On the scene and worked up the evidence ef fectually. The rural police have proven more than self sustaining, and the revenue in the way of fines has not come from trivial of fences. They have been of great value in getting evidence in the gravest cases. It has been objected that they have fill ed the jail. While this is largely a fact, they have filled them by capturing some af the worst criminals in the county. nrli!~ 4-K!r*lr tha nirol nnllpft Inw Iu nxino v*c ti well past the experimental stage, when a year's service has been completed in this county, a complete summary of their work should be given to the public.

Washington, March 4.?President Taft's warning to all Americans in Mexico that j they could no longer look to this govern-1 I meat for protection and his advice that j they leave the disrupted country ?s soon j as possible, paves the way for intervention by the Uuited States. This fact will be offiically denied today, just as it had been officially denied in the past, but officially who know what the ad ministration has in mind, say there is no other meaning back of the moves made by the president. MOVE MADE OBYIOUS. To make this move obvious the state de prtment invited the representatives of the Spanish, French, German and British gov ernments to the department and communi cated the program to them. The procla mation and the dispatch to Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City were placed in their hands and were immediately cabled to their governments. It is frankly stated by officials here that the Madero administration is in an ab solutely helpless condition. The Mexican president is losing more territory daily and it is freely predicted than within a month the revolutiotlsts wall lay siege to Mexico City itself. There are still more than 30,000 Ameriean s in Mexico. They are scattered from end to end of the country and all of them are in more or less danger. The advice sent out to them by Ambasssdor Wilson from Mexico City warned these Americans that, under the present conditions, their gov ernment was unable to afford them any protection. They were told to seek safely in their own country. Oh, Wild and Untamed Spring.

To the many local people who have followed the recent startling reports of Htrange cure* that have been brought ahout by the usa of the new Root Juice mediciue, which has cre ated ho much excitement in Atlanta and other plucks, the following de scriptions of its remarkable efFe-t U[> on diseased conditions in many cases will be found most interesting. Mr. Albert Tiiulick, ofCantrall, III., who was a great sufferer from indiges tion, los->of appetite, pains, bloating, belching an^l other common symp toms of a badly deranged stomach, tells this story of his experience : "My condition was such that I could not keep down a glass of water. I had suffered for two years and tried many kinds of medicines without benefit. I was almost dead one evening, when I sent for a bottle of the Root Juice and felt better as soon as.I had taken three or lour doses. 1 kept on using it and now I can keep anything on my stom ach. Root Juict has done wonders for me." Mr. Dt P. Kerr, of Bellefontaine, O., tells the following story of his experi ence with the medicine : j "( was the victim of severe stomach and kidney trouble and grew weak, thin and nervous from the long and aiifropinor Mv stomach VUUIlUUUUn uuvt...e. ^ *as sore and painful. Most of the time I could not digest my food. I would get up in the morning with a headache and so weak I could scarce ly dress myself. I frequently had bil ious spells, coated tongue, bad taste in my mouth and smothering senpa tlon. My kidneys would act often but very scunt and painful." "I spent many dollars for medicines i and treatment but could not even get relief. When this new medicine, Root Juice, became known here, I was one ^ of the flrst to get ir. Before long I no ticed an improvement. I am on my fourth bottle now and feel much better in every way. My appetite i.* good. I sleep well, I eat what I want and di gest my food. The soreness has gone from my stomach and my kidneys no longer give me any trouble. I am fr^e from headaches, am gaining in strength and have gained in weight." Others who have used it for rheuma tism say that its eirect is marvelous u^d that after taking it a short time the pain and soreness vanish. The stiffness goes and the swelling poou dinappears, the joints and Ilmhs be come limber and strong and the gen eral health improves. N Local druggists can now supply the Root Juice in three-quarter pint bot tles at only one dollar each. STATE MEN T of the condition of The Bank of Mt. Carmel, located at Mt. Carmel, 8.
