Who lovwit?d It and When and
HoW It Flrwl ('tune Into Use.
The .testimony now being Klven
before the South Carolina
gating committee dt Augusta, (la.,
by the Burns detective* brings into
the limelight again that wonder'"!
little machine known as the dlcto
graph which threatens to revolu
tionize this country when its use
becomes more common. A 'r?*dy i
has been? the Instrument through
Which willlao> J. Burns, tte kio*.
of detectives, has secured evidence
unraveling some of the greatest
the mysteries of the day, notable a- 1
uiong which might be mentioned
the McNamara case. It was s -
cessfully used by that great d
tective first to secure the evic
tion of the grafters In the Oh o
legislature, some of whom are
day serving sentences In
The little machine was brought
Into play also in the Darrow case
with no uncertain reBUlts. lt J1?*
been used also in the Atlantic City
graft cases. , 4 .
The dictograph was Invented by
K M Turner, of Jamaica, L. 1. *
watt uned In a ellent. unostentatlouB
Hort of . way for (our yearn before
any publicity was given it. vv hen
It first came Into the UmellghtlaB
year following Burns' notable work
In fastening guilt on Ohio legisla
tors through its use, Turner was
asked why he had never sought
publicity for the machine. He re
plied that he had always thought i
that the less said about it In con
nectlon with detective work the
"The first time the dictograph
was so used," said Turner, , was j
in 1 907 nut long after 1 had in
vented it. A man came to my ol-|
flee one day ? one of the higgeBt
men in one of the biggest corpor
atlons in this country. He saia
a clique in the directorate was try
ing to get control. If he cOU*^|
overhear their conversations he
believed he could checkmate them
He took me to the room in which
they got together. it was a big
room, and there wasn't a blessed
thing In it but a big table ,and a
rug and a couple of chairs But
above the table was an - electro^
with a fan attached. Ihere was |
no gas In the fixture. j
"That night two of our men con-,
cealed the dictograph In the fan
and led the wires away thr?ugh. th)M
brass pipe. The receiver lay in a
drawer of our client's desk, so that
he could hold it to his ear and hear
his enemies talk.
"I heard no more of the matter
for over a year. There was a aw
yer on our board of dlreolor? aml
one day at a directors meeting
when I told this story this lawyer
said, 'Why, that man is a client of
mine. He won out and it sUved
him and his friends half a mUlion.
But he never told me how he did
t* "Of course, the dictograph has
other uses. With a different ?or
of apparatus a man may talk from
his private office with his employes
in other offices without touching ei
ther transmitter or receiver. J301"
are parts of the box on his desk.
He may walk around his office, dic
tating a letter to his stenographer
In another room. Her voice comes
back from the box as plainly
though she were inside it. .,v
"A man may hold a supposedly
confidential conversation with a \i
itor in Ma office, will, nothln* ; In
night thai looks like > ;
while a stenographer in another
room takes down every word.
There can be no doubt but that
dictograph will be the greatest ter
ror to evil-doers the country has
ever known. Guilty parties will
ever be in fear of the pesky little
machine which may be so conceal
ed in office or room that its pre
sence will not be known. Alrea
dy it has worked havoc with evil
doers. It bids fair to do even more
damage to them in the future.?

A citizen of Rock Hill has cancell

of that city, giving aa his reasons
that he thought the newspaper was
not printing enough state campaign
liewB. Among other things In an
editorial mention of the instance,
the editor of the Herald says;
"Those desiring verbatim reports
of the lowest, most disgraceful and,
to decent citizens, most humiliating,
campaign South Carolina has proba
bly ever witnessed will not be Able
to find them in the Herald. The
' Herald goes into most of the homes
In Rock Hill and into hundreds of
homes In the surrounding country,
and this newspaper declines to car

If one of the candidates for state

presence of wfcffien and children,
would subject them to sumififtry pun

The Most Wonderful and Complete Machine for Stomp Pulling on the Market
No farmer can afford to be without it. Several have already been sold in fccf'
shaw county, including one now in use by the county. Price very reasonable.
Will be glad to demonstrate this wonderful machine to any one wishing
chase. Guaranteed for three years to work every day. Mr. Gilliam Raley, of Buffalo,
bought one last fall and he says he would not be without it for $500.00. Let me ***
you one and rid your farm of all stumps.
