<ky .s v MO CHANGE OF HABIT. While Making *80,000 A Year James B. Dike Ate at Bower/. When James B. Duke, tobacco klhg was earning $60,000 a year and rapidly becoming known as the leader in 1 the industry, he lived in a hall ImmI- 1 room in a cheap rooming house and < ate his thrpe meals a day from the counter of a dreary littl6 Bowery res- < taurant. When questioned as to why 1 ho did this he declared it .was in part 1 so that he could save every dollar pos- 1 sible to put it baca into the business and partly because the grinding pov- i erty of his youth had not been forgot ten. i When he was a boy his father, hav- I ing lost everything as a result of the ' civil war, was forced to take a Job as < farm hand on a farm thirty miles I from Durham, N. C., James and his three small brothers lived with their 1 father in a shanty, that permitted ' storm and cold to enter from all sides, ' and the four had to sleep on a single j husk tick in one corner of the place for the sake of warmth. Their food often consisted of little more than a handful of parched corn. It was years after the war that the first ray of ] sunshine came. Some of the farmers that owed vonn? nniro'B mn ney from before the war began to pay him in tobacco. This was the 1 start of the company that became in i time one of the greatest corporations i the world has ever known.?Detroit News. o 1 MARION GETS NEW PASTOR.

Experts in precious Btones in this city and in Antwerp say an era of financial stringency has supplanted the epoch of free spending to such an extent that precious stones have become a drug on the market, although prices are being maintained. The industry received a serious blow through the Russian revolution as that country was-the greatest buyer of gems. Austria and Germany then fell out, and now the depression in America has cut off the last great market for diamonds. In addition, a large nhmber of gem8 forni nrl v ' ? v..; vhjicu iu nuasm uave ueeii placed on the market by the Bolsheviki and the output of new stones has been curtailed. A tornado that struck the Gerdner settlement one mile from Oconee, Georgia shortly after the noon hour Thursday, brought death to two white persons and nearly 30 negroes, and serious injury to five white persons and more than a scoie of negroes. A stretch of land extending from Oconee almost to Toomsboro in Washington county, nearly five miles long and about one-half mile wide is as barren as a prairie, not a building nor a tree left standing. Among the dead is Benjamin Franklin Orr, 14 year old youth who was decapitated. His head had not been found at a late hour. The only other white person who met death in the tornado is the three year old daughter of E. L. Minor, manager of Shepherd's commissary at the plant of the Cleve imiQ-uconee Lumoer company. j a?????? is suss resn, rom the loom, Shoes ndividual marks.

SOUTH CiBQUVA LOUISIANA NEGRO C GAM NOT ESCAPE. H New Orleans, Feb. 9. ? Lonale tEaton, the negro whose date of exe- C cutlon was forgotten by the sheriff r of Ouachita parish, will not regain " his freedom because of th? oversight, C according to an opinion handed down ~ today by Attorney General Coco. R Prior to the rendering of the opinion _ many leading attorneys of the state |< contended that by reason of the fact rthat the negro's life had once been c placed in jeopardy when the governor r fixed the date of his execution, and " that date arrived without a reprieve C being granted, he could not now be ~ legally hanged, but that on the other |< hand, he was legally dead and must r be granted his freedom. The view was not sustained by the q attorney general, however, who said C that he could find nothing in the r textbooks, ancient or modsm. or in L Jurls-prudence which was the least U basis for such an idea. ^ The attorney general then ruled [4 that it would be legal for the gov- >> ernor to again fix a date for the ex- b ecution of the negro, who was con- C victed of the murder of Charles M. L Qulllar. a white planter, in 1917. p Will Flournoy, another negro, con- Z. victed of complicity in the crime, is |j now serving a life sentence for his r part in the killing of the white man. b which occurred in a drunken brawl, r A movement has been started by a C number of interested people in the G state to have the death sentence c standing against the negro commuted p to life imprisonment. _ E POOR BLOOD 18 JUST G LIKE SLOW POISON.
