Still Third Party, Talk Some observers-here still insist that a. radical third party movement is sloping up. Discounting the fact that politicians are inclined to become Jit tery on the slightest provocation, it is certain that some of Mr. Roosevelt’s followers are showing signs of\|«ar that such' a radical movement Will make headway, because of the impos sibility of'/getting through both houses a sufficiently radical tax reform meas ure to satisfy any considerable propor tion of discontented' voters. Such a movement might draw upon the sur plus of votes which the Democratic leaders hope will be cast for Mr. Roosevelt next year. There is possibly even .greater menace in a swing away from the RooseVelt administration* by conserva tive Democratic leaders.

She does not hear quite so well “as she did,” in her own words, but one does not need to shout at her. A slight raise in the voice is all that is needed. Asked how old she was, she smiled and answered: “I been here a long time,” and the “long” was drawn out for emphasiST that made it impres sive. She looked at her daughter as she said it, to get the figures no doubt from her, and the daughter gave her age as 112. Returning home, the Oreepwood re porter asked J. B. Wharton, well- known merchant of Greenwood, if He thought the old woman was 112. Mr. Wharton is a native of Waterloo and he still knows everybody in and around that^ plaee.- After griving the question careful consideration he said, “Well, if anybody in the world is 112 years old she must be.” Then he add ed that she was a “very old woman about 40 years ago” and tRht her hus band, Lude Henderson, was an old, drawn-up man 40 years ago. He hes been dead a long time. Sylla Henderson was bom a slave on a plantation of ^Asa'Foggy on Ra bun’s ergek in Laurens county, the site being about three miles from where she is now living.

NEW ACCOUNTS INVITED COMMERCIAL DEPOSITORY v CUNTON, & C. •-r -• mer director of the budget, are names most often'heard. All talk of a coalition parly, com bining Democrats with the Republi cans, has cease<l. Rpeublicins and Democratic conservatives, however, are in entire harmony in efforts to bring about a situation which would result in Mr. Roosevelt’s defeat. They will do all they can to encourage any radical movement which shows prom- i.se of developing into a third party, and, indeed, might help in getting a fdurth or even a fifth party launched. Anything to split the Roo.sevelt vote, is the political slogan of the opposi tion. f G. 0. I*. Timber Most of the talk about Republican candidates is in the nature of trial balloons. Names are suggested and the suggestors put their ears to the ground* to listen for the popular reac tion. Just now the man who is being thus promoted is Governor “Alf’*' Lan- don, of Kansas, whose chief claim to fame is that he has succeeded in bal ancing theJKahsas state budget. Gov ernor I..andon is less well-known na tionally than several of the others who ce talked about as Republican presi dential timber. Col\Frank Knox, publisher of The Chicago^^ailey News, seems to have a strong jwsonal following which has grown up almost spontaneously. One hears the naniX. of former Senator “Jimmy” Wadswobth, of New York, but it does not seem\|o arouse much enthusiasm in the Wes' Amoi« the undercurren'te of -politi caf gos^p is the 8uggestion\-and it may be more than fhat—-that blla|ne8s interests may be, or are being, o^^n ied to back the “safe” members of t house of representatives for re-elec tion and to attempt to put “^afe” men into congress in p^ce of those whom business distrusts: This would be something of an innovation in a na tional political campaign. « _ |july*t Pliinful Troubk Helped By Cardui \ Why do •omaoj women'takaOifw dul for the relief of functtonal Dalns at monthly ttmeet The answer la that they .want results such ss lln.
