KIDS CLAUDE ALLEN EA KEW ELL Miss Nellie Windor Goes to Her Home from Itiebiiiond. Richmond, Va., Varch UL-After saying a hist good-bye io Claude Swanson Allen, whose brid?? she would have been, but for the Hills ville tragedy, Miss Neille Wissler lefl the ? ity Tuesday night for her home ut Pulaski, lt is not probable that she will ever see him again, but will remain al home until after the exe cution, on March L'Sth. The dnal scene between the two was most affecting. Tho youth bore j himself bravely, cheering the girl at moments when she faltered. There was no demonstration of affection only a farewell handshake. She went to the penitentiary twice yesterday, leaving for the last time about ."> o'clock. Holli prisoners maintain fair com posure, although Floyd Al|en is much more affected over the outlook than is his BOU. His condition at times has been distressing. Claude Allen has In mind the pos sibility of writing a letter to the Governor, containing his views on some things said by the Executive in his statement <o the public deny ing commutation, t He has not yet done so. He wrote a letter a month ago, in reference to a suggestion that he should confess and ask for mercy, saying that he bad nothing to confess and that he had told the truth. This letter was Hied with the papers in the case. Talk was revived yesterday of an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, on the plea that Claude Allen has been twice placed in jeopardy for the same offense, which would be a violation of the constitution. Attorneys for the de fer;:;, announced last November that this would be done at once, hut it was abandoned, Louis O. Wendenburg, of tins' city, may be associated with the contem plated prosecution ol' Dexter (load for perjury. Friends of the Allens insist that this proceeding is really in good faith, although eight months have elapsed since the alleged offense .icen n ed. Fifth Respite Refused.

Richmond, Va., March 1 I.- Re peated rebuffs at tho hands of Gov ernor Mann have hy no means caused despair in the camp of the Allen sym pathize rs, lt was understood to-day that the Executive's refusal yesterday to gram n tin h respite that the doomed men might testily against Court Clerk Goad for perjury has prompted the sympathizers to a revival of the plan lo take the case to the Supreme Court of the United States on the constitutional ground thal Claude's iffe was twice placed in jeopardy. liarle Rochester Dead. < Tugaloo Tribune, I I th. 1 News of tho death of Earle Wo rhester, ol Central, was recelv ?:! here Saturday.

Counties Will ?le Released About April 1. Clemson College, March 16.-Spe cial: Three moro counties, together with portions of two others, will he released from Federal quarantine on or about April 1st. This marks another important stop in the eradi cation of cattle licks from South Car olina. in July, I'.tuV, Clemson Collen??. (Veterinary Division) in co-opera tion with the United states Depart ment o? Agriculture, bonan this work in Oconee, Flckens, Greenville and Anderson counties, and these coun ties were released from Federal quar antine In 1909. In I :> 10 the work wis pushed into Greenwood, Abbe ville, Colon, Laurens, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Chester and York coun ties. All of these counties, with the exception of tb?' sont born portion of Abbeville, the soul bern portion of York, and the eastern portion of Chester counties, were released from Federal quarantine In UH 2. in i '.) i ii work was extended Into Newberry, Saluda, Lexington, Fair neid, Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marl boro, Darlington. Florence and Lee counties. About the 1st of April the release of Marlboro. Darlington, York, tb; ortlon of Lam-aster coun ty north of Waxhaw creek, and that portion of Chester county north of the Lancaster and Chester railway is expected. This will place above the Federal quarantine line about 8,700 square miles-one third of the State. Clemson College has expended in this work about $45,000 and the United States' Department of Agrl ctulture has expended a slightly larger sum. with the exception of $100, which was apporprlated by Newberry county in 11)12, no appro priations have been received from other sources. At the present rate of progress lt will take ten or twelve years to free the entire State, al though this could be easily accom plished in twelve to eighteen mon tbs if each county would appropriate funds for co-operation, and if every stock owner would assist by freeing his own premises. The tick causes South Carolina an annual loss of about $1.000,000. Un der present conditions it will take at least ten years to eradicate the tick. Figure out the total loss that will occur before the ticks are eradicated and then consider the fact that the ticks could be eradicated in twelve to eighteen months and this loss pre vented. The sum that the tick will cost our farmers in two yef rs would free tb-e entire State. What would you think of a business man who would sit down and calmly allow his business to lose $100 or $500 each year If he could easily prevent it? Every ono says "poor business." Now what is your opinion of the farmers of South Carolina who are sitting down and calmly allowing their busi ness to be sap pod of $1.000,000 each year-a loss that'could easily be prevented? "Poor business.'"-that doesn't express it! M. Ray Powers, Veterinarian. It takes a really sensible person to be funn> without wounding some cnn else.

Fearful Slaughter of I luman Life Orates Intense Sensation. Cettlnje, Montenegro, March 13. News reached hero to-day that four Servian transports loaded with troops were yesterday riddled with shelU fired by an unidentified war vessel. Accounts of the engagement from two different sources declare that the attacking vessel flow tho Austro-Hun garian flag. The transports were conveying strong detachments of Servian troops to assist tho Montenegrins in then i siege of the fortress of Scutari. Tho | attack on the four boats occurred off ! San Qovannl di Medua. Two of the transports were set on j Ure. Tho ii u m ber killed and Injured cannot be estimated. The unofficial dispatches from San Giovanni di Medua varied consider ably. According to ono account, tho at tacking ship was the Turkish cruiser Hamidieh, which is alleged to have boon Hying the colors of Austro-Hun- : gary. Another report doubts the war vessel was the Hamidieh at all and says that the cruiser resembled a vos- i sel of the Austrian Kaiserin class. Peeling against Austria ls high lie re since Tuesday, when the Aus- ' trian minister to Servia announced j that his government objected to Ser vian troops assisting In the siege of Scutari. To-day's news of the attack on the Servian transports, therefore, created a tremendous sensation here. In offi cial circles, however, no credence was given to that part of the press dis patch relating to tho Austrian flag. Officials declare that the attacking vessel was undoubtedly the Hami dieh, which was reported in the vi cinity a few hours before, and added that the Turkish cruiser would have no reason for hoisting false colors.

Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common in this country ia due to hasty and careless habits of eating. Stomach troubles and run-down conditions also usually go together. john Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y., says: "I have been troubled with a bad stomach trouble for fifteen years, and became so weak that I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetlto ?was very poor, and lt seemed Impo'j Blble to get any relief. Since taking two bottles of Vlnol I find that lt has already made a remarkable Improve ment in my health; my digestion ia much stronger, and I have gained In weight." Vlnol makes weak stomachs strong because lt strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and overtaxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vlnol is easily assimilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vlnol with, the understanding that your money .will be returned if it does not help you. J. W.
