[FORD, MOSS & ANSEL, ?.ORD & REID, Walhnlla, S. C. * HUTCHISON BROS. & CO., i. C. - DR. S. Y. JA MK SON INQUIRY. Relations Between Mercer's Presi dent and Faculty Strained. Macon, Ga., Jan. 12.-Charged with a searching Investigation of President S. Y. Jameson's adminis tration of the affairs of Mercer Uni versity, a special committee from the hoard ol trustees of the institution will begin work this week. It ls un derstood that the committee will have to do particularly with the re lations of the president to tho fac ulty. Reports have been heard that all is not well between the head of the institution and members of his fac ulty, though the nature of the trou ble is not known. While members of the board of trustees In this city admit the coming of the committee, they decline to discuss it, saying "just wait and see." Defense Before Students. Following thc last meeting or the Georgia Baptist Convention, 'Presi dent Jameson's first appearance be fore the student body was at chapel one Saturday morning. At that time he had considerable to say regarding the probability of raising the addi tional million and half dollars for the endowment of the university. Finished with that, President . a me son launched on a defense of his ad ministration with special regard to reports that he was not a square and fair fighter. He averred he had al ways fought in the open, and in ad dition had often held out tho olive brandi to his combatants. Though Dr. Jameson has always maintained in his publie utterances that he was not an advocate of thc removal of Mercar from Macon, the friends of the propaganda to have the institution remain in .Macon have classed Dr. Jameson as being lined ni? with Dr. L. R. Christie, of Colum bus, the leader of the movement for removal. His relations with influen tial Macon Baptists have not boen cordial since (lie Mercer removal agi tation came up. Hostility Intensified. Tills local hostility was intensified at the time of the Rome convention a year ago, when Dr. Jameson and Dr. Christie were generally consider ed to be actively working to have the convention go flatly on record as fav oring the removal from Macon. Dr. Jameson was at that time president of the convention, and was re-elected by a narrow majority. He did not stand for re-election at the Moultrie convention. At the last annual meeting of the board of trustees of Mercer, when President Jameson was re-elected for another term, a sharp fight was made against him. Certain of the Influen tial trustees at that time espoused the cause of the president for the time being, and his election was ac corn pl is bed. Jameson Courts Probe. Macon, Ga., Jan. 13.-"I was no tified this morning that on Wednes day a committee appointed byt the trustees will bo here to make an in vestigation of my administration of Mercer University," says Dr. S. Y. Jameson, president of the Institu tion, ono of tho most prominent Georgia Baptists, and former presi dent of the Georgia Baptist Conven tion. "When tho committee begins Its probe 1 will ask a written copy of the charges against me," said Dr. Jameson, "and after learning of what I am accused, I will bo only too glad to assist the committee in any way possible. I do not know now with what I am charged nor what is the complaint. 1 have simply been told that Judge T. A. Parker, of Way cross, ls chairman of the committee which will scrutinize my record. As I do not know what are the allega tions against me, It ls impossible for me to make any sort of a statement. However, I court the fullest Investi gation possible." Rev. S. Y. Jameson is a militant figure in Georgia Baptist circles. He was allied with the faction which advocated the removal of Mercer Uni versity to another city, and lt ls be lieved that this attitude has been the cause of friction between him and leading Macon members of the de nomination. There ls also said to be a lack of harmony between him and members of his faculty. Committee Completes Probe. Macon, Ga., Jan. 16^-The special committee Investigating the adminis tration of affairs at Mercer University completed its work at noon to-day. The report on the findings will be made to the full board of trustees. No intimation of the nature of the report was given out. The committee issued the follow ing statement, which makes it plain that the personal character of Presi dent Jameson ls abovo reproach and was not \inder investigation: "In view of the fact that some newspaper articles have appeared which are liable to place the presi dent of Mercer University in a false light In the minds of the public and Georgia Baptists, the committee ap pointed by tht? board of trustees to investigate tho general relations of the executive departments of the uni versity desire to make the following statement: Thia commltteo was never appointed to probe the presi dent. He has never been accused of dishonesty, disloyalty or anything In volving Iiis peisonal character or in tegrity. "After a patient Investigation of the prevailing conditions we have been made aware of differences whl;.h we have no doubt the board of trus tees will he competent to manage when our findings shall have been DON'T LIKK THE A?,DUTCH PLAN. Committee Chairman Says Congress Will Follow Demo. Platform. Washington, Jan. ll.-A state ment that the incoming Democratic administration and the new Demo cratic Congress will be unalterably' opposed to the enactment of tho Ald rich plan of banking and currency into law ls made by Representative Class, of Virginia, chairman of the sub-committee now inquiring into the subject. Mr. Glass says the business interests must become rec onciled to banking and currency leg islation drafted along other lines. Mr. Glass points out that the Dem ocratic platform adopted at Balti more last July condemned the Ald rich plan and that those charged with revising the banking laws in tend to proceed accordingly. As re ports from Trenton, N. J., indicate that President-elect Wilson will ask Congreso al the special session to re vise the banking and currency laws this statement assumes importance. Opposed to Central Dank. "Wo are absolutely opposed to a central bank, or any centra! institu tion with the arbitrary power of the central bank, such as we conceive to be the plan of the monetary commis sion," says Mr. Glass. "I am not dis posed to reject what we may regard as the good points of tho monetary commission's plan, but it is my per sonal view that there is an insupera ble obstacle-whether you call it po litical or what not-to the adoption by the next Congress, or at any time under the Democratic administra tion, of tho monetary commission plan." Favor Chain of Banks. While Chairman Glass and his as sociates have so far not committed themselves to any particular plan of currency reform, tho idea that runs through their questions indicates that they favor tho creation of chains of legional banks, willi a reserve bank In each district empowered to issue notes based upon commercial imper, lt is proposed further that there shall be created in the treas ury a supervisory board of control, which shall keep in touch with the regional banks and have authority, under certain conditions, to issue notes for the use of the regional banks, upon sound paper proffered by tho regional banks. This proposal ls distinguished from the Aldrich plan In that the supervisory board would be in a measure a governmental body, in more direct touch with the govern ment than the central reserve asso ciation embodied in the Aldrich bill.

Amesbury, Mass., Jan. 17.-To tease her husband, Mrs. Alphonse Victorine concealed herself In a trunk as she heard him enter the house last night. As tho cover drop ped over her the bolt of tho old-fash ioned lock slipped into iff. place and In a few hours the woman was dead from suffocation. This is the theory of Medical Examiner F. C.

Therefore our report will be made to the board at Its next meet ing, which will probably be in .June." The report is signed by the full committee of investigation. With RE< *TLAH ROWKIi MOVEMENT FROM CHILDHOOD ON FORE . STA I rf FUTURE SERIOUS DISEASES. Wc cannot all start life with the advantages of money, but every child born is entltlod to the heritage of good health. Through unfortunate ignorance or carelessness in the feed ing of a baby its tiny stomach 7i?ny become deranged. The disorder spreads to tho bowels and before the mother realizes it the two chief or gans on which the infant's comfort and health depend are causing lt great suffering. If the condition is allowed to continue gravo ailments often result. There is, however, no occasion for alarm, and the sensiblo thing to do -but it should be dono instantly-is to give the baby a small dose of a mild laxative-tonic. In the opinion of a great many people, among them such well known persons as tho par ents of Dixie Dudley. Magnolia, Ark., the proper remedy is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep jsln ls the best medicine I ever used, lt cured my baby it flatulency colic .when the doctors failed; lt cured my 'husband of constipation. My home shall never be without Syrup Pepsin." It ls a pleasant-tasting laxative.which every person likes, lt is mild, non griping and contains that most ex cellent of all digestants, pepsin. This remedy is especially intended for infants, children, women, old people and all others to whom harsh cathartics, salt waters, pills, etc., are distressing. In fact, in tho common disorders of life, such as constipa tion, liver trouble, indigestion, hil ESTATE (JOES TO REID'S WIDOW. Will of Late Ambassador to Britain Has Reen Made Public. New York, Jan. ll.-Tho entire estate of the late Whitelaw Heid, am bassador to Great Britain, ls left un conditionally to his widow, Mrs. Eliz abeth Mills Reid, with thuj exception of specific bequests totalling $110, 000, nude'" the terms of tho will made public yesterday afternoon. To Ogden M. Reid and Jean Templeton rU.id, now Mrs. John H. Ward, his son and daughter, there ls left out right not a penny, although the late ambassador indicated unmistakably his wish that they should be well provided for by their mother. The value of the estate has been variously estimated at from $10, 000,000 to $20,000,000. The widow is made sole executrix, and special request is made that she may serve without giving bond. The will was executed November 3, 1894. Mrs. Reid thus becomes tho owner of almost the entire Issue ef stocks of the Tribune Association, publish ers of the New York Tribune, whose affairs her son, Ogden M. Reid, has been directing for years. In Mrs. Reid's hands ls placed the management of the entire estate without hindrance or suggestion, further than the late ambassador's wish that his son (Ogden), should he display "capacity and aptitude for the work," should ultimately suc ceed to the con >*ol of the Tribune, and that certain parcels of real es tate should "ultimrtely" pass to ,his son and daughter. The late ambassador employed no lawyer to draft his will, but sat down in the library of his New York home and penned it himself on three sheets of paper. The Little River Section. Little River, Jan. 18.-Special: The health of thia section ls only tol erably good at this time. Colds and grip are very prevalent In these parts. Rev. Burnett filled his appoint ments at Whitmire's on the first Sunday. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the congregation was rather small. Those who ventured out, however, were amply repaid for their splash through the mud. The sermon was very interesting-one of those that touch and appeal to the heart.
