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

MARION GETS NEW PASTOR.
Mr. Falls From Kissimmee, Fin.,
Has Arrived.
Marion, Feb. 11?The Rev. O. B.
Falls, the pastor recently called to
the Marion Baptist church, arrived
here today and will preach his initial
sermon Sunday. Mr. Falls came
to this city from Kissimmee, Fla.
He reorganized the church membership
and promoted the erection of
a new edifice. Within seventeen
months after his arrival a handsome
new church was completed. For
three consecutive years Mr. Falls
was moderator of the Wekiva Baptist
Association. He served also both
as chairman of the executive committee
secretary of the association.
He won the title of being the
best association clerk in Florida.
The Marion Baptist church has
been without a regular pastor since
last July. Rev. Rufitt Ford has been
filling the pulpit while effort was
being made to secure another pastor.
Mr. Falls expressed himself today as
being most favorably impressed with
the town of Marion and the handsome
Baptist church here and the
large modern brick parsonage which
hag been recently erected.

DIAMOND WORKERS IDLE
Many Thousands Out of Employment
Because of Slump in the Market,
Nearly 8,000 of the 10,800 members
of the Diamond Workers union
at Amsterdam Holland are ldle and
the bottom seems to have fallen out
of the world's diamond market. 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

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. _

PEPTO-MANGAN PURIFIES. ?
Tune Up Your Bloo<l With It. Notice C
the Difference With Rich Red *1
Blood hi Your Veins. [<
The man or woman or the child E
with a sickly looking complexion a r
pale wan face, has blood that la fill- ?ed
with poison. Instead of rich red C
blood coursing through their veins, J:
they are trying to get along with [
blood that is weak and thin. It doesn't p
carry life-giving qualities through l
the body. You see those men and r;
women every day. They are so tired. *Their
shoulders droop. They slouch, f
It is all they can do to get around. '
As soon as you begin to feel that 0
way take Pepto-Mangan, the well r
known blood tonic. It will clear away L
the poisons and make your blood rich T
with red corpuscles. ^
Pepto-Mangan is prepared in both ?
liquid and tablet form. One has the r
same medicinal value as the other. I
Take either kind you prefer. But ho
sure you get the genuine Pepto- t
Mangan?"Gude's" The full name, T
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan," should be .
