A Stamp Story.
Six years ago a little newspaper on
the edge of a Florida swamp pub
lished a brief notice that the govern
ment 'would redeem at one-fourth
their face value all cancelled post
age stamps returned to the post office
department at Washington.
A prominent post office officer tells
of the widespread effect:
"How people could credit such a
statement ls a mystery. But they did
and the notice was widely copied.
Eventually tho story was syndicated
through hundreds of country news
papers, and one department ls still
suffering from the results.
"Letters of Inquiry and express
packages of old stamps overwhelmed
?the office at Washington, until we
finally had to employ five or six ex
tra clerks to tell tho would-be re
deemers the truth of the little tale.
? It was a rather disagreeable job, too.
Some of the letters were pathetic,
and I hate to think of the number of
people who were disappointed, all be
cause some crack-brain editor pub
lished that Idiotic notice.
"Even now, and lt is at least six
years since the notice came out, we
receive letters and stamps at least
every week from some sequestered
spot that has just heard tho news."
A baby would rather go to sleep
than listen to a lullaby.
A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "JU8t Ready to Drop."
When you are "just ready to drdp,"
when you fee! so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be
cause you hav< not slept woll, j ou
get up as tim out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you noed
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y., saying: "I was in a badly
run-down condition for several week?,
but two bottles of Vlnol put mo on
my feet 'again and mnde me strong
and well. Vinol has done me moro
good than all the other medicine I
ever took."
If the careworn, haggard men and
Women, the pale, sickly children and
'feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas' example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy, had built them up and made
them strong.
It ls a wonderfully strengthening
And invigorating body-bullasr. and wo
MU it under an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction. You got your money
back ii Vinol does not help you.

Killed by Man Ho Had Whipped.
Valdosta, Ga., Jan. 16.-One man
was killed and another seriously
wounded In a fight at a lumber mill
at Council, Ga., to-day. James Cop
per and James Felder engaged In an
altercation in which they came to
blows. Felder used brass knucks,
and thinking he had vanquished his
opponent, turned to walk away, when
Copper drew a pistol and fired two
shots, the second passing through
Felder's heart.
Millwright Robinson, whose cheek
was grazed by the first, shot, thought
he was being attacked, and, seizing
his gun, shot Copper through the
jaws. Copper is now In jail at Hom
ervllle. The cause of the quarrel ls
not known.
Treasury to Issue New Nickel.
The design of the new nickel, the
creation of J. E. Fraser, an artist of
New York, has been accepted by Sec
retary MacVeagh, of the Tronsnry
Department, to replace the five-coat
piece that has been In circulation for
many years. George E. Roberts, di
rector of the mint, will order Its
coinage and lt probably will be In cir
culation shortly after February 1. On
one side of the new coin is the re
production of the head of an Indian.
At the top ls the word "Liberty," and
at the bottom ls the year 1913. On
the other side appears the figure of
a bison, closely associated with the
history of the Red Man, and the de
nomination of the coln.
Wounded Negro Spit Out Ball.
Sumter, Jan. 17.-Ed. Richard
son, colored, performed a feat yester
day which ls seldom seen save In side
shows and at vaudeville perform
ances. Richardson was shot with a
pistol while he and another negro
were examining it, and a minute
later he calmly spit out the bullet
and walked off to have a doctor ex
amine and dress the wound whKm
was inflicted. The ball entered Just
below tho nostril and was stopped
against the roof of his mouth. Dr.
Birnie, who attended him, stated
that ho would probably suffer no seri
ous effects from the wound. Tho
shooting was said to have been acci
dental.

+ CLEMSON'S ORIGIN. *
(Clemson Cor. The State.)
In your issue of January 9th Dr.
J. W. Daniel, of Charleston, is quoted
as stating that he ls responsible for
Clemson College; that lt was he who
set Col. Simpson on the track of the
agricultural idea when Col. Simpson
waa ready to urge Mr. Clemson to
give his property to Wofford College.
The friends of the late Col. R. W.
Simpson have thought, and still
think, that in the conception, estab
lishment and development of this
great .astitution there ls "glory
enough to go round," due credit be
ing given to Senator Tillman, Col.
Simpson and others who have helped
to shape the destiny of Clemson Col
lege. If Dr. Daniel has played his
part, by all means let him have such
credit. But the friends of the late
Col. Simpson object decidedly to tho
statement that Col. Simpson had ever
proposed to divert Mr. Clemson's pro
posed gift to the State from the orig
inal purpose of the giver. Surely Dr.
Daniel, a long-life friend of Col.
Simpson, has been misquoted or else
his memory must be at fault.
Those nearest Col. Simpson say
that even in the early 80's Col. Simp
son held a long-cherished hope that
he might some day be able to serve
In the uplift of the agricultural in
terests of the State. He would 'have
needed, therefore, no suggestions as
to advice to give Mr. Clemson-even
had Mr. Clemson needed such advice
as to the purpose of his gift.
Col. Simpson was never known to
claim that he suggested to Mr. Clem
son the Idea of leaving his property
to tho State for the founding of an
agricultural college, for Col. Simpson
was familiar with the facts set forth
In the following statements (matters
on record), which the writer thinks
controvert the statement ascribed
to Dr. Daniel:
"Mrs. Aaron Boggs went to see
Mrs. Clemson, * * * Mrs. Clemson
told her that both she and Mr. Clem
son Intended to leave Fort Hill to the
State for the purpose of erecting an
agricultural college." * * *
Extracts from the statement of
Rev. Hugh McLees follow:
"I was Intimately acquainted with
the Clemson family from the year
1868 to 1874 inclusive."
"Mrs. Clemson told me she desired
to see an Industrial institution erect
ed upon the Fort Hill tract of land.
IL was in litigation at the time, but
she considered it her property. Mrs.
Clemson reiterated the same thing to
me when she was living at Fort Hill,
after it had been sold and bought In
by her or her trustee. Mrs. Clemson
tried to accomplish this purpose dur
ing her life-time. In fact, from my
personal knowledge of the matter,
the idea of erecting an Industrial In
stitution at Fort Hill originated with
Mrs. Clemson, and Mr. Clemson, In
all his talks about the matter, refer
red to it as 'we,' 'our,' etc."
"Mrs. Clemson talked to mo a
great deal about the benefits that
would accrue to this State from the
establishment of such an Institution
and she was much interested in see
ing it accomplished."
"Mr. Clemson continued in his pur
pose after his wife's death (in 1 875)
with this difference, that after his
wife's death he proposed to give the
bulk of all his property with Fort
Hill for the accomplishment of this
purpose.
"Mr. Clemson told mo Mrs. Clem
son had made him promipr? that he
would never sell or alienate Fort
Hill or put it beyond where the State
could get lt for agricultural pur
poses."
(Mr. Clemson) "told me he had
willed all his property to the Stale
for the purpose of establishing such
an institution and that tho papers
were in the hands of Col. Rion."
Upon Mr. Rlon's death Mr. Clem
son made Col. Simpson his attorney,
and, In a new will, modifying some
what tho old one, made Col. Simpson
his executor. Col. Simpson drew up
this will.
Something About Watch Signs.
Nearly all the watch signs, proba
bly 90 out of 100, have their hands
set at 8.18, but comparatively few
people know why this is. It is no
accident. W. K. Washburn, of New
York, was painting a sign for a
jeweler of that city when the news
of the assassination of Abraham Lin
coln, April 14, 1865, was received in
New York, and the Jeweler ordered
the painter to paint ui>on the dial tho
exact timo when the fatal shot was
fired, namely 8.18, and 30 lt has con
tinued ever since. Whenever you see
a sign after this recall to yourself
that lt points to the fatal moment.
Four million parcels were sent
through the parcel post during the
first week of its operation.

Lawrenceburg, Ind., Jan. 16.-A
serious break in the levee early to
