President Holds Up Carlisle's FItcYrar Sentence?Heeds Pleas of Friends. Washington, Feb. 28.?Milton A. Carlisle, for many years one of the best know bankers in Newberry, will not begin a five-year sentence in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta on March 1 in accordance with a conviction and sentence of the federal courts in South Carolina a short time ago for misapplication of funds. Today E. A. Carlisle, son of M. A. Carlisle, of Newberry, came to Washington and with r\f Smith I m^iiiutic v*. vuv wv. v lina delegation in congress, called on President Taft and made an earnest plea that the mandate in the case be stayed until a full investigation could be made by him. The president was told that because of his advanced years and the past excellent record! which he held special -efforts should be made to look into the case before the prison doors closed on Carlisle. The misapplication of funds, the president was told, amounted to something like $400 or $500, all of which had been made good, and nothing would be gained by sending Carlisle, now an old man, to the penitentiary. All the fnr>te in thft casa carefully eone over and the president, upon the termination of the conference, said that he would request Attorney General Wickersham to order District Attorney Cochran and Marshal Adams of South Carolina to take no further action in the matter until the case be thoroughly investigated. RECOVERS FROtf GAS POISONING. >Tr. Jessie K. Tance None the Worse for Accident. Mr. Jessie K. Vance, cashier of the Southern Cotton Oil company, who was nearly asphyxiated with gas on Monday night, had practically recovered j last night from the effects of his experience. Mr. Vance said last night that he expected to g-et up today and to be back at work by tomorrow. Be yon a a. nine pa.m <tuu uiiuning acnoa- j tion in the throat he had little dis- j comfort last night. At times he said that he felt a wandering sensation, especially when he tried to walk. Mr. Vance said that on Monday night about 11 o'clock he went to the bath room to take a bath, and that shortly after he had gotten into the tub lie smelled gas, but imagined that it came from another part of the building. Later on some on? knocked at the door of the bath room and asked him if the gas was escaping. Mr. Vance said he took a quick look at the gas burners and fancied they were all j right, and answered that there was no gas -escaping in there. He said that the next thing he knew was that he was out of the tub and people were working over mm.?Aews ana ^uuriei. j Use Split Log Drag. Just how the mail carriers managej to make th?ir rounds with the present condition of roads is a little remarkable. We drove out on Wednesday af- j ternoon to McCrary school, and trav-1 - J VinwiA rnaH us far as eieu cue uuuui? iiwuc ?- ? Mr. 0. H. Lane's. This road is usually a very good road but is now one continuous mud hole from the time ^ou leatfe the brick pavement on Main street. We returned from the school by the Pomaria road, entering it at the fhe mile post. It is in the same condition, and it was about all two horses j could do to pull the buggy. If these J roads are dragged ana some uuico filled in before the clay begins to harden, they will pack and probably be good roads until next winter, but they are in condition right now for the most effective use of the drag. We suppose same is true of all the roads in the county and with the continuous rains it is almost impossible to expect any! other conditions. It is very important j now that the split log drag be used j very generously just as soon as the; conditions are right for its use. 0. L. Schumpert Chapter. i The 0. L.

Nothing preventing there will be two special services at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday as follows: 11 o m?TVi ^ rocrn l o r mnr nin 2" ser II ft. Ill* I UC i vice. The pastor will preach the second in the series of special sermons. The subject of the sermon will be: "A Man's Vote." This will not be a political sermon, but at this time when county, State and national affairs are coming before- us w^ should consider some things that relate to our citizenship as a Christian people. The Bible is full of the duties and responsibilities of Christian citizenship. In the < text that we shall use, Jesus said to a Jew, living under the cruel and de. ? spised Roman government, "Kenaer j therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's."?Lk. 20:25. At least five blessings which the government gives, and five duties which every citizen owes will be presented. "It is a part of the function of the Christian church to educate, inspire, and direct its members in such ways as will the better fit them for the high duties of citizenship." Some things that citizens should hear and consider will be spoken in plain words. 4 p. m.?The Sunday school meets. The Easter music will be practiced. All are requested to be present. | 7.45 p. m.?There will be a service of unusual interest Special music has been arranged for the> occasion. Mrs. E. C. Cronk, who is in touch with the I very latest and best in church work, I will be Dresent and will make the ad dress. Every woman who is interested in the cause'of Jesus should hear Mrs. Cronk Sunday night. The public is cordially invited to all the services. "Baby Mine,91 In Dresenting the Margaret Mayo comedy, "Baby Mine," at the city opera house on Friday, March 8, Manager *7":n. A. Brady, under whose direction it is produced, calls attention to the' fact that it not only ran for an entire y-?;if at Lal/s theatre, New York, but ' ... pei-? I Criterion theatre in London, England, playing to capacity houses nightly, where so much anti-American prejudice exists. Still, they fairly search, for adjectives to praise this worthy Is>ich-nrnvnlrin^- American nlav. "Baby Mine." % The plot of "Baby Mine" was suggested to Miss Mayo through the reading of an article in a Chicago newspaper to the effect that married women of that town frequently deceived their husbands by palming off infant* from foundling asylums as their own offspring, and that the husband would go through life proudly innocent of the deception. "Wlhy shouldn't "Baby Mine" be a big success?a pronounced success? with such genuine material as an utter laugh and fun maker? There is everything to the play to warrant the general opinion tnat n is ine greatest ever, and this is "going some" when we recall "Charley's Aunt" and "Too Much Johnson," and a couple of other comedy plays that earned falne and ' ! i made records. But "Baby Mine" is the greatest of them all, and will enjo^ a long life and world-wide popularity. Ask the opinion of any one who haa seen this side-splitting comedy, and / V f V -A. who will see it again, and then again if possible. Fun! Mirth! There is no end of it It is continuous riot and scream, and even the young and unmarried people quickly recognize the possibilities and realisms of every situation. It is really education and an intuition of what the young wife ex periences in married life before and after joyous motherhood. Yes, it brings back the limit of happy moments, of the married man, -when he is informed that he has become a father, and is suddenly awaked to new responsibilities that are his, and which he cheerfully assumes. "Baby Mine," "Baby Mine!" It strikes most of us deeply, and the fun, laughter and intense delight of the audience as the play goes on, best tells the tale of mi/inner. fVlof will frtllnTir L1.IC 1'llllllCliat; O UV/V^toa tuai nui 4.VUV " "Baby Mine" the world over. . i ;i >Vhen Hunting Season Closes.
