tumorous flrpartmrat The Important Thing.?A young countryman, staying in a hotel, commenced to write a letter, and then went ^way, leaving it on the table. Another came in and, without thinking, took up the missive. He had it in his hand when the young man returned. "That's my letter, mister," he said, fiercely. "Well, you can have it," was the reply. "Did you read it?" "No; that is, I glanced over a few lines of it and noticed that hardly a word was spelled correctly." "It is to my girl?the girl I'm going to marry." "Yea?" "And I don't care a cocked hat about the spelling. What I want to impress on that girl is luv?1-u-v?and lots of it, for there's a farm and 700 cows coming to her!" Muldeon't Mistake*?There was no doubt about it, Michael Muldoon had lost his five-pound note, says Tit-Bits. How. then, was he to get back to Dublin? But, sure, the London police would find it for him? Into a station marched Michael and told his sad story to the sergeant. The officer was inclined to be sympathetic. "I suppose you wrote down the number of the note?" "And Ol did that, sorr!" said Mike, proudly. "And what is the number, then?" "And isn't that Just what Oi don't know myself?" "But you said you wrote it down!" exclaimed the officer, testily. "That's the worst of it I wrote It on the back of the note!" Bruce'c Mother.?The inspector was examining a Cleveland school and all the class had been specially told beforehand by its teacher. "Don't answer unless you are almost certain your answer is correct." The subject was history. "Who,'* asked the inspector, "was the mother of the great Scottish hero and king, Robert Bruce?" He pointed to a boy in front of him then round the class. There was no answer. Then at last the heart of the teacher leaped with joy. The boy who was standing at the very foot indicated that he knew. "Well, my boy," continued the inspector, "who was she?" "Mrs. Bruce," said the lad. Irish Stew.?A Welshman, an Irishman and an Englishman were arguing as to which of the three countries possessed the fastest trains. Said the Englishman: "I've been in one of our trains, and it was going so fast that the telegraph poles looked like a ledge." *Tve seen milestones appear like gravestones," said the Welshman. "Be Jabbers." said the Irishman, "I was one day in a train in my country, j and we passed a flock of sheep, a held of carrots, a field of turnips and one of parsley and one of onions, and then a pona or water, ana we were going so fast that I thought it was a stew." An Honest Artist?There is an illustrator in Chicago who has lately been so beset with orders for work of various sorts that he has felt obliged to enlist the aid of collaooratora One young artist with whom he was negotiating, asked: "How much will you pay me a week to work for you?" "I pay every man what he is worth," was the short reply. The artist scratched his head reflectively. Then he picked up his hat to go. "No, old top," said he, "I can't work that cheap." Lost His Nerve.?"My object in calling on you this evening, Frances,"! began an elderly suitor, and then he coughed and added. "I may call you Frances, may I not?" "Certainly you may!" answered the young girl. "I allow all of papa's elderly friends to call me Frances. The oldest of them even calls me Fanny. You may say 'Fanny' if you wish. What was it you wanted to talk about?" He coughed again and then talked about how backward the spring was. Told Simple Truth.?Two friends were talking over the good fortune of a mutual acquaintance who had succeeded in gaining the hand of a rich girl. "I didn't think Edward had it in him." said one friend "It must have taken a lot of diplomacy on his part to win out in that venture." "Oh, I don't know," said the other. "As a matter of fact, I happen to know that he told her the simple truth." "You don't say so!" "Yes, he told her he couldn't live without her." "Lending Eggs."?The Customer? See here! These eggs you sold me aren't fit to eat. The Market Man?Certainly not. "Why didn't you tell me you wanted eating eggs? I thought you wanted eggs to lend to the-neighbors. The Other Thing.?"There is nothing in the world that creates and sustains interest like a good detective story," remarked the Sage. "What is the matter with a mortgage?" asked the Fool.?Cincinnati Inquirer. A Welcome Ruination.?"Prosperity has ruined many a man," declared the moralizer. "Well," replied the demoralizer, "if I was going to be ruined at all I'd prefer prosperity to do it."?Harper's Magazine. Why He Roasted Them.?Highspeed ?Why are you always roasting the Joyriders? Dry screed?Well, because they are itiwttyu running uuwii suiucuuuy v* other. Wise Women.?"Why are all the women in the neighborhood so fond of Mrs. Homely's society?" "Because any one of them, in her company, appears beautiful in comparison." An Exception.?"It's remarkable how soon a man is forgotten after he's dead." "I guess you never knew my wife's first husband." The Happy Man.?"Gladys Frogley was married this morning. "Who was the happy man?" "Her father."?London Mail. INDICTED FOR PERJURY Treasury Officials Proceed Against Officers of Riggs Bank. Charles C. Glover, president of the Riggs National bank, William J. Fiather, vice president, and H. H. Fiather, cashier, were on last Friday indicted for perjury in connection with the bank's recent suit against Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams. Four indictments Were returned against each of the bank officials, who are charged with perjury in making | an affidavit which set forth that the bank had never engageu in aiuv.A uum ket transactions, and had no transactions with Liewis Johnson & Co., a defunct Arm of local brokera Attorneys for Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams contended at the trial of the bank's suit that the books of Lewis Johnson & Co. showed many transactions in the name of the bank officials' names. The case soon afterward was laid before a grand Jury. Vice President Milton E. Ailes and Johnson Evans, Jr., assistant cashier of the bank, were called to testify. The indictments are a sequel to the suit of the bank which alleged that Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams, because of personal animus toward some of the bank's officers, had conspired to injure the institution by withdrawing public deposits, making extraordinary demands for special reports and finally by imposing a fine of $5,000 upon the bank for failure to make a certain report called for by the comptroller. The district supreme court dismissed all the changes against the secretary and comptroller but left undecided the question of the $5,000 fine. A decision on that point is expected at the fall term of court. At the Rlggs bank a statement was Issued saying the Indictments were entirely personal against the officers who signed the affidavit and do not involve the institution. The statement explained that it long had been the bank's custom to act for customers and depositors in making investments by having one of its officers in his own capacity as a member of the Washington stock exchange execute orders for stocks for cash and never on margin. "No order or transaction was ever made by the bank for its own behalf or profit, but invariably for and in behalf of others," said the statement. "The fact that the bank cleared orders of this nature was open and well known to every comptroller of the currency and to every bank examiner passing in the affairs of the bank. Since the ne?v Federal reserve law came into effect the bank has not accepted any orders of thic nature and the practice referred to then ceased I and is no longer in operation." The statement added that the affidavit had been technically construed as it had been presented only to refute intimations that the bank had been dealing in stocks. Since the meaning of the affidavit came into question the statement says the bank employed an auditing company to examine the books of the stock brokerage fli xnd found no stock sales whate\ is being those of the Riggs bank. The statement added that the affidavit on which the indictments against the three officers were based, and prepared by the bank's counsel, as one of the legal steps in the proceeding, to deny that the bank had been dealing in stocks on its own account, or that it ever made short sales. The burden of the bank's statement is to explain that its officers signed the affidavit at the instance of their counsel intending to make clear that the bank itself never had used the funds in the stock market operations. It became known Friday that the Riggs bank had notified the comptroller of the currency that H. H. Fiather, cashier of the bank, who was one of the men indicted, had resigned. Officers of the bank refused to discuss the matter but it was understod Faither^had offered his resignation to the directors on Thursday and that it was accepted. Farmers Should G<Jt Behind It.? Just about this time every year the state warehouse system comes in for a liberal share of dif.cussion. This or that plan is proposed to make the system more perfect. Before the gen erai assemoiy meeis me uonuu wi?i has not been sold is stored in warehouses, and the plans proposed at the beginning of the marketing season to make more perfect and enlarge the scope of the warehouse system are forgotten. If the pl?.ns proposed by Commissioner McLaurin three years ago had been put into operation 80 per cont of the farmers of South Carolina could have stored this year's crop and borrowed on it at a low rate of interest, enough money to have paid their debts. As it is, 80 per cent of the farmers of the state will have to sell their cotton at what they are offered for it, although millions of dollars of government money is lying idle in the banks waiting for them to use it. The only way to remedy the situation is for the farmers themselves to get behind the movement for the establishment of a system of state warehouses. The power and authority to establish a system of warehouses, whose certificates will be recognized not only by the government itself but by state banking institutions and private money lenders as well, lies with the general assembly, and if the farmers will exert themselves and bring sufficient pressure to bear upon the representatives from their respective counties, the enactment of law can be secured that will at least make the farmers of South Carolina independent of the cotton speculator. This being an off year, politically speaking, there is not much hope of accomplishing anything at the next session of the general assembly, but we would like to see the state warehouse system made the leading issue in the campaign next summer. The farmers hold the balance of power and if he continues to remain passive and let a handful of clever politicians legislate the present state warehouse system out of existence he will have no one to blame but himself.?Dillon Herald.

Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a subscription lias been paid In fall, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrlption to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer 'a to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our books. No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription price lias been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the Club. In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a * name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but wnere both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting the name for one year for each such payment. After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted. This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the competition. Any and all Clubmakers will have the r'ght to Get Subscribers Wherever They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postofflce. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year. All subscriptions m<ust be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postolflce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present postoflicc address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much trouble and confusion. In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will be allowed for the working off of the lie. 4k After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1918, at p. m., the price of a year's subscription will be 92.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
