Salt Lake, Utah, May 7.~Presi dent Joseph Smith, hoad of the Mor mon church, has been doing the World's Fair dedicatory ceremonies at St. Louis, accompanied by a plural wife. President Roosevelt was among the notables introduced to Mrs. Smith. The question is asked why Mrs. Juliana Smith, tho wife who presides over his home at 143 West Second Street, North, is not a member of tho delegation. The ex planation offered by one friend of tho family is that both Mrs. Juliana and Mrs. Edna were anxious to accom pany their husband to the exposition next year. As President Smith could not tako both of them at tho same time without provoking a scandal he proposed a compromise. Mrs. Edna was to go with him this year to witness the opening and Mrs. Juliana was to be rewarded next year by witnessing tho glories of the ex position. After thinking the matter over the two women decided that this was the best solution of tho problem, and Mrs. Edna started for St. Louis. The Jeff Davis Memorial. Riohmond, May 6.-Tho idea of building an arch as a memorial to Jefferson Davis han been DFAotiOallv t -j abandoned. It is understood that Mrs. Davis and some of tho promi nent officers of tho memorial organi zation are opposed to the arch. A monument will probably be erected. Deadly Grasp of Grip Pros trated Me. Dr. Miles' Nervine Built Up My Shattered Nerves and Gave Me an Appetite. Of the millions of people, who today suffer from nervous or heart weakness, a large per* centage trace the cause directly to deadly LaGrippe. It is a germ disease, and makes a direct attack upon the nerves, putting an extra strain upon them at the time their vital ity is at the lowest ebb. If 1.aGrippe has left yoiL with a shattered nervous system, with loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia, frequent headaches and morbid tendencies, you should strengthen the weakened nerves with pr. Miles' Nervine. It will undo all that grip has done, bring back appetite, rest and restore the nerves to their normal activity. "I want to write this testimonial for the benefit of those who have suffered from that dreaded disease-LaGrippe. I suffered sev eral weeks with it, and nothing I tried seemed to benefit me in any way, shape or form (I suffered almoU death) and finally my daughter recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine to nie and I can truthfully sty from the first day I felt better than in vee ks. It gave me relief, built up my shattered nerves and gave me a splendid appetite. I cannot speak too highly of it and want to say, each and every one who has suffered from LaGrippe win find instant relief by getting a bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine. Insist on having it and take no 'other. It ls simply splendid. I loping this will benefit s ome poor sufferer 1 remain, -MRS. GROROK B. HAM., Jackson, Tenn.

Tho Board of Trade of Walhalla has set an example whioh euob or ganizations throughout the . State would do well to follow. At its first annual meeting on Monday night it voted $100 "to be placed to the Gov veruor's order for thc purpose of sup plementing the proposed $25,000 appropriation" in aid of the South Carolina exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. The Walhalla Board of Trade is one of tho youngest organizations of the sort in the State, and stands, as we are informed, "squarely for progres ivo methods." The sum voted by it in aid of the South Carolina exhibit at the World's Fair is not large, but it was larger by $100 than, the appropria tion made by any other business or commercial organization in the State, we believe, and the spirit with which it was given ought to encourage similar associations to join in a work whioh means so mach for South Carolina. Governor Hey ward believes that a full exhibit of the progress and re sources of South Carolina at St. Louis would be of great material benefit. Be has invited the co-operation of all the people in the work of making suoh an exhibit possible, and we hope that the rest of the trade and indus trial organizations in the State will follow the example of the W?lballa Board of Trade. The Commercial Club of Charleston ought to take an aotive part in the work.-Charleston News and Courier. Pooping 8tudent Tarred sss Feathered. Columbus, Miss., May 6.--At the Agricultural and Mechanical College, at Starksvilte, Miss., C. L. HinOjoea, a student from Monterey, Mexico, was oaugbt in the act of concealing himself in the apartments used by the girls of the institution. He abo wrote the moat shocking stories about some of the most highly respected girls at the school. When it waa established that he was the guilty one a detachment of students took him from the guardhouse Saturday night and carried, him to the woods nearby, tarred and then compelled him to roll over and over again<in a bed of feathers. They then dis persed, and he remained in his de plorable condition over night.

MCALISTER, County Supervisor. F. A. II. Sohroder, Clork of Board. National Aid for Public Highways. Wheu Col. W. P. Brownlow, of Tennessee, asked Congress to appro priate $20,000,000 for National aid to road improvement in the United St?.ten, the economista were shocked t the mere suggestion of so lavish an expenditure on auch account. The amount provided for in the Brown low bill, however, was ridiculously small in comparison with the im mense territory in whioh it was to be distributed. We ara told that the New York Legislature has adopted a constitu tional amendment providing for a road tax of $5,000,000 a year for ten years, $60,000,000 in all. This amend ment will doubtless be ratified by tho people of the State. The Legisla tures in the States of Alabama, Tennessee, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota bavo ad de clared in favor of National aid for road improvement, and soon or late both States and Nation will anite in a policy whioh will reBult in tho im provement of all the highways of the country, and to the great advantage of her industrial life. It 1B said that "ono of the objec tions most loudly urged against both State and National aid is that it will enoouaage local communities to neg leot the improvement of their roads, and depend on the State and Federal Governments to ?lo tho work for them." The objection has vory little behind it, as it would not be practi cable to increaso the "negleot" with whioh "local communities have here tofore and always regarded the im provement, of their roads,. The efforts wli!'-.. have been made by en terprising towns kore and there to improve the highways leading to them haye boen regarded by some of the "leaders of thought" as a useless waste of money and muscio. In tin* States and communities where there has been any well developed polioy of road improvement, the people in variably favor the largest practica ble expenditure of money for this purpose. Only the people who live in baokward communities oppose the use of public money for such a pub lio purposo.--Newe and Courier. Military Company Prevents Lynching.

Sheriff Duck ett bad gone to the second floor of the jail to lock up the prisoners for the night, or such of them as are al lowed' tho freedom of the ja*l hall way in the day time. ? After, as ho thought, ho had looked them all in their colls and was about to look tho ball door, Lowe, who had in tho darkness managed to seorot himself in a vaoant cell while the others were being barred, made a dash for liberty. As be ran by the shoriff the latter seized bim by the shoulders and down the precipitous stairway they went, the sheriff hing ing on to the negro and endeavoring to oheok him. Lo wo weighs about 185 pounda aud tho sheriff about 186 or less. The negro dashed on with his load through tbe hall and into the Btreet, but in passing through the front hal) struck the door facing with his shoulder and dislocated it. This disabled the negro and the sheriff had no great trouble then in handling bim, assistance coming up in a mo ment. Tho sheriff was unarmed. Lowe figured in a riot in the town of Waterloo some two or three years ago in whioh a negro was killed. It is said that Lowe was chiefly respon sible for the trouble. He immediately fled and remained until about two months ago, when he was captured in Georgetown and brought to Laurens. Capt. Duckett is one of the most peaceable of men except when there is real trouble, abd then ho is generally on baud. Killed HiY^ather.' Asheville, N.

The farmers of Anderson are learn ing that they can mako money in many other ways besidesTaising cot ton. Wo know a man who is mak ing a lot of money raising hogs. He kills the bogs on his farm, several miles out in the count ry, and brings the dressed meat into the oity, sell ing it readily to butchers and direot to consumers at 9 cents per pound. He has killed 35 or 40 pigs and shoats this spring, and has thus realized a nice sum of money at a time of year when money is usually soaroest with the farmers.
