CLEVER SWIDLdOR AT WORK. Numerous lOdgeficld Morclmnis Full Vl<'(inls of Suave Stranger. E dept Ile ld, Oct. 8.-A clever swin dler has been fleecing several country merchants In this county. A man representing himself to be C. C. Jack son, a traveling salesman for the Graves-Manning Manufacturing Co., crockery manufacturers, of Newark, Ohio, recently made a tour of the county, calling upon'sevtral country merchants. After exhibiting his wares and urgently soliciting an or der he would purchase some article of merchandise and state that in or der to pay for it the merchant would have to cash his weekly expense check, be being short of cash. From one merell int lie purchased a razor and presented a check for $16..r?0. The unsuspecting merchant deducted the price of the razor and gave the drummer the difference tn cash. From another he purchased some jewelry and presented a check for $26. The price of the jewelry was likewise do ducted In this instance and thc- re mainder paid in cash. From a third he received $11 in cash for a similar check, which was represented as being his weekly expense check. From a fourth merchant he purchas ed a pair of shoes and offered a check in payment as he did to bis other vic tims, Lat .is the merchant did not have on band Bufllcie.it cash to pay thedifforence the drummer Drought the shoes to Fdgofield and told the merchant that he would leave the money with a local hoted proprietor after having tho check cashed here. This, ol course, he did not do. Ho made no effort to bave any of his checks cashed in the Kdgelield banks. In the e course of business the checks which ?ere drawn on the Commercial Hank and Trust Com pany of Newark, Ohio, were deposited in bank and forwarded for collection. All of the cheeks were returned un paid, accompanied by the statement that, there was no such bank in New ark, lu addition to losing their mer chandise and thc cash paid the man representing himself to be a drum mer, the merchants bad to pay the protest fee on the checks. The checks were regularly drawn and bore no evidence that would lead one to suspect they were bogus. They were lithographed, regularly num bered, the mini ber being above .*">, 000, and were sinned by the Craves Manning Manufacturing Company, per D. C. Craves, manager, the name of the concern being j,Iso in large lithographed letters across the body of the check. The name of the bank was in the lower left corner. The trick of the swindler was so clever that nine merchants out of ten who are remotely situated from a bank would be an easy victim. A fifth mer chant In this county would have been ?minus some cash and a rain coat, which <ho fellow pretended to want, had it not been that the merchant had urgent need for the cash to pay for cotton seed.

BIRD PROTECTION EXHIBIT. Club Women of St?te Taking Active Interest) in Our Birds. Columbia. Oct. 12.- Special: The fanners all over our State are Invited and urged to attend the exhibition on bird protection in the Agricultural Building during the State Fair, Octo ber 26-30. This exhibit ls the first of the kind ever held lu this State, lt is under the auspices of the National Associa tion of Audubon Societies, In co-ope ration with the bird committee of the Federation of Women's Clubs. This exhibit will be Interesting and instructive. Scientific experts have been studying the food habits of birds for forty years. Some of the results of these Investigations will be shown by picture, chart and pul - Mentions. Owing to their feeding habits most birds are of immeivio value to farmers. Therefore, birds should be protected. A resident hunter's license law af fords one of the best means of bird protection. This is taught by the experience of other States possessing such a law. One of the greatest enemies of bird lifo is the common cat. A place will be given to the cat In this exhibit. There will be display of models of practical bird bouses and boxes which can be constructed for a few cents. Valuable literature on the subject of bird protection will be distributed free.

Rob inson, in charge of the torpedo sta tion, ami watched by various ord nance exports of the navy, it appears that steel nets are no protection to battleships against torpedo attack. A torpedo, the war head of which was loaded with 2 10 pounds of gun cotton, was fired from the torpedo boat Morris at a steel net that bad been moored in Coddlngton Cove. The torpedo exploded and water was sent 100 feet Into the air. The sur fac ol' the water was covered with (it i 1 ish after the experiment.

How we shall miss th j sui<sh!ne of his presence, his quaint smile, h's ways, his gentle humor-his face like an old painting, called by som?? long ago artist of the age of courtesy "Portrait of a Gentleman,'' his kindly words, his dry philosophy, full of meat and real humor; the benedic tion of his sympathy, his child-like ness-not childishness. He could never grow old. He was a man; a manly man; he was a womanly man. "The bravest are the tenderest." His life was full of charm and sweetness Those who came near him could not but feel it. It shone with the bril liancy and yet with the softness of a star. His kind are all too few in this world. He loved the Truth. He. was a j Christian; his faith took hold on God in Christ Jesus and showed It self. The simple things of life were dear to him. He was responsive; hi* courtesy c.. i """'1 *' -"asily kept pace with progress '.vb'.te holding fast to all things that nre true and established of old. He had a line sense of proportion.

Yea. rather a soul conscious of the Source of all that ls right and all that is pure, from which it drew the in spiration of its character and by which it was moulded. He had friends; he cherished them; he liked to be liked; lie loved his fellowmen. Ile sought their good opinion by deserving it. He ws? ap preciative. He despise^ not small things, but took pleasure in them. Last Saturday he was in my house. He knew how to say the right thing. I think this was because he meant what he said. He said, "Mullally, 1 have kept that piece you wrote me on my birt Inlay. You never would tell me how you knew the right day. I'm going to keep that piece." How much said in so little, and so simply. The lines penned February 14, 1914, were: J.-nst a word to wish you well, mj friend, E.-arth's journeyings all through; B-right, bright and many be the years O-f life God grants to you; G-ood things for you from Him I pray G-ood health, long life, content al way ; S.-uch are the blessings 1 wish you on this your nata1 day.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Optimistic Senators are predicting that Congress will adjourn by Saturday night, de spite the prospect that Republicans will" put up a hard light against the war tax bill. Whatever happens, however, unless there are unexpect ed developments in the war situation to involve American affairs, the Leg islators can be speeding to the polit ical firing lln-3s within two weeks. Senator Kern and Representative Underwood, majority leaders, are be sieged every few minutes in the day by their colleagues with inquiries about plans for adjournment. Sena tor Kern replied that the session can be adjourned If the members will stay at their posts and aid in expe diting the finishing touches to the Clayton bill and passage of the war revenue measure. Mr. Underwood replier that the House will complete Its work as soon as lt disposes of the Clayton bill conference report, the Philippine bill and the Senate revis ion of the war tax. President Wilson told callers last week that he was satisfied with legis lation that had been accomplished and would not insist upon considera tion of the Philippine bill in the Sen ate at this session, nor on passage of the ship purchase bill until next win ter. He will not oppose the confer ence neport on the Clayton bill and the measure now ??"ms likely to be approved as .eported, despite efforts of soire- Democrats and Republicans te nave it recommitted.
