VESTS CAMPAIGN SPEECH.
Why a Small Boy Persisted in Hear'
ing it Every Day.
"Senator Vest was making a buggy
campaign in southeast Missouri
some years ago," said a Missouri official.
"His driver was a small boy,
who was dulv imDressed with the im
portance of his distinguished passenger.
t "At each town visited by Vest the
- boy hurried his team to a convenient
livery barn and then raced for the
court house, or wherever the 'speakin*
' was to take place, and perched
himself with painful regularity on
the front seat. He invariably turned
his eyes on the senator and took in
every word of the speech as if his
very life depended on it.
"Finally the lad's continued con*
spicuous presence amcmg his auditors
annoyed the senator, and he
* kindly but firmly reminded the boy
that it was not necessary for him to
attend every meeting.
* " 'I make the same speech each '
time. You have heard it often
enough to know it by rote, so just 1
put your time in the future looking
? after the team,' he admonished his (
youthful driver.
nhiontinn 1
uvsync liic scuaivi 19 vujvvuvi.,
the boy was again in the front seat
> the next day and the following day.
This enraged Vest, and he thundered:
\
" 'Why do you persist in always
occupying that front seat? Didn't I
tell you I make the same speech
every day? It's as old and stale to
> you as it is to me. Why insist on 1
hearing it again and again?'
" 'I want to see what you're go: ng
to do whfen you fergit it,' answered
t the boy. Vest capitulated."?St.

Denies Attempting to Dispose of Meat <
,
Greenville, May 15.?At a meeting
of the health authorities this after^
noon the district manager for the
Swift concern was present and the
condemmed meat situation practically
disposed of. Dr. Smith, the city
food inspector will tag the meat and
allow it to remain inthe warehouse
until the packers decide as to what
disposition they will finally make of
I it
ritanneitinn nf this meat has
* * interested not only Greenville peo,
pie, but has been agitated in a number
of nearby cities and it will still
? be interesting to watch further de
velopments in the matter. The meat
is valued at over $f,000.
In a statement made late to-day G.
W. Chandler, Swift's district mana*
ger, said that he wished to correct
the statement that there was 70,000
> pounds of the meat, as it now turns
out there was a little less than 16,000
pounds. Mr. Chandler also says that
they made no effort to sell the condemned
meat and that the delay in
shipping it to a soap factory was oc\
casioned by local causes.
Jones' Appeal Case Not Ready.
union, May 10.?ai a uiccuu^ ui
who last February was sentenced to
life imprisonment in the State penitentiary
for the murder of his wife
; H 1 last July, will^ probably not have his
hearing at the spring term of the supreme
court on the motion for a new
4 trial as anticipated.
> - Next Monday is the date set for the
hearing of cases of appeals from this
circuit and five days are devoted to
this business, but because the printed
case has not yet been filed with the
attorneys for the prosecution, it is
believed that the hearing of the appeal
will be postponed until the fall
[ term next November. This will give
Jones, who is a wealthy planter and
f ' - has extended landed interests, all the
I summer to get his affairs in the best
. possible shape.
f Jones, who has been in jail here
since last July, receives many callers
and transacts a large volume of busi.
ness. Since his trial he has regained
his customary health, which almost
fatied him just after the conclusion
of the hearing of his case by the cir>
cuit court.
Dog Went to Doctor.
A story of a dog's appreciation for
service rendered is told on the
'f streets. The other day a little terrier
dog hobbled into the office of
Drs. J. F. Wyman & Son, and finding
no one at home, he calmly laid himself
upon the floor, made himself as
comfortable as possible, and awaited,
the arrival of one of the good doc1
tors. Ere long, Dr. Hastings Wy;
man, Jr., came in, and upon discovering
that the dog would not leave
the office he examined him and
found thet he was suffering from a
f v broken leg. The leg was bandaged
and now the little pup insists on re- '
maining with the doctor and paying
his little account, (for you know doctors
don't work for nothing). The
pup is still following the doctor
about, and showing in every manner
possible for a dumb animal, his
appreciation of the surgical operax

'..i* Negro Killed by Officer.
Fort Mill, May 16.?Dawson Potts,
chief of police of Fort Mill, last night
shot and killed Jack Jackson, a very
I powerful negro, who was resisting arrest.
Chief Potts attempted to arrest
the negro and the latter showed fight,
1 taking the officer's pistol away. Chief
Potts then drew another pistol and
' shot the negro dead. The weapon
the negro took was a magazine pistol
and the chief thinks he owes his life
to the fact that it was locked and the
negro did not know how to unlock
the safety catch.

CHARGED WITH SWINDLING.
Washington Society Man Locked Up
on Complaint of Boston Company.
Washington, May 15.?Charles
Lay ton Fox well, a mining stock broker,
whose wife is said to he a relative
of F. Augustus Heinze, of New York,
was arrested here to-day and is locked
up in a police station to-night,
charged with being a fugitive from
justice. Herbert Moseley, treasurer
of the Growler Copper Company,
Boston, Mass., who is the complainant,
alleges that Foxwell by various
schemes relieved his company of
more than $5,000, and informed the
public that the broker had victimized
many other firms in Virginia, Canada,
New York and Massachusetts to
the extent of $30,000 or more.
Foxwell, who is 56 years old, dignified,
well groomed and scholarly in
demeanor, came to Washington a little
more than a year ago from NewYork,
and with his wife figured prom'

extent he carried on the irregularities
is not known. He dealt almost exclusively
in mining stocks. The police
allege that Foxwell went to Boston
early in 1909 and later to New York,
where to various mining concerns he
declared himself to be a representative
of the Cociete Generale of Paris,
a financial institution of Paris. Certain
bonds and stocks which Foxwell
negotiated failed to pay expected
dividends and an investigation was
made by the companies affected,
which developed that Foxwell was
not a representative of the Paris concern.
The firms learned that Foxwell
was living here and their representative
reached here to-day, demanding1
his arrest.

When Dr. Klopsch, the editor of
The Christian Herald, was congratulated
upon the honor done him when
the Emperor of Japan bestowed upon
him the Order of the Rising Sun, he
laughed and said, according to The
Circle: "Yes, my new decoration
makes me feel very proud. I feel as
proud, in fact, as a Highland chief,
and no one could be prouder than
that.

"once gave a dinner in honor of a
great Highland chief who rarely
came down from the hills.
"Though there were many illustrious
persons at this dinner, the
proud Highlander was curt and
haughty with the grandest.
"When the coffee came on the
host, leading his Highland guest up
and down the great hall, asked him
what he thought of the company.
" 'Och,' said the chieftain, 'they're
no had. They're no bad chiles.'
"Then he frowned and proudly
swelling out his broad chest, struck
it a blow.
" 'But the fack is,' he cried, 'I

Cow and Calf Gives Trouble.
This is a tale of a cow and a calf,
two soulless railroad corporations
and some ticks, told for the pious
and patriotic purpose of pointing a
moral with regard to the tick law.
The cow and the calf, like Mahomet's
coffin, is suspended between the
neaven ana earcn, neaveu uemg represented
by the C., N. & L. railroad,
which is standing staunchly by the
law, and earth by the Southern,
which has committed a near violar
tion of the law, or at least a near attempt
of breaking the law. The cow,
the calf not being then on earth,
was shipped from Rock Hill, which
is in a non-tick-infested district, to
Columbia, through Fairfield and into
Richland county, which are both
tick-infested, on its way to Goldville,
which is in a county free from ticks
in the eyes of the tick law.
The aforesaid suspension began to
take effect here a few days ago when
the C., N. & L., through no less a
personage than its law-abiding president,
Mr. W. G. Childs, declined to
accept the cow and calf for shipment
to Goldville, fortifying himself
meanwhile by a telegram from the
State veterinarian at Clemson that
shipment to Goldville would subject
the C., N. & L. to the $500 penalty
prescribed by the law.
In the meantime the family of the
man to whom the cow belongs has
arrived at Goldville and is in need of
the milk. In the meantime also, the
calf has arrived. Likewise the owner
of the cow is demanding of the
Southern that it deliver the cow according
to its bill of lading agreement
or pay for her. The Southern's
claim agent will settle, but is puzzled
how to figure out whether the
calf in the circumstances belongs to
the owner of the cow or to the road.
The point that sticks out most
prominently to the observation of
Col. Childs in the perplexed case is
the inequality of the law in visiting a
penalty on tne poor, defenseless ana
down-trodden railroad for accepting
the animal for shipment and making
no provision against the shipper
for attempting to send the cow in
violation of law. He thinks, however,
that all of the trouble could have
been avoided had the Southern's
agent at Rock Hill made the shipment
around by Spartanburg,
through entirely non-infected districts,
instead of Columbia.?Columbia

Catarrh Cannot be ~Cnred .
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

disease, and in order to cure it
you must take internal remedies.

COST OF POOR ROADS.
Waste of Labor in Hauling our Crops
to Market.
It cost a little over a billion dollars
to haul the farm crops of
America to market last year. With,
good roads, roads such as are to be j
found in some parts of America and I
in all parts of France, the marketing
of the crops would have cost $400,000,000.
Six hundred million dollars
per year, then, is the price we
pay in this land of the free for having
impassable roads. Did ever a
nation spend so much for so doubtful
a luxury before? With American
roads lying open and fathomless be
fore the eyes of our foreign critics,
what monstrous injustice it is to talk
of American dollar worship!
Most men of middle age can recall
the annual picnic known as mending
the roads. Just why it got that name
no one has ever explained, for in
practically every case the picnic left
the roads in worse condition than
before. The law in many States prescribed
that each resident of a rural
district must pay a certain road tax
in labor each year. The payment of
this tax was done under the supervision
of a local officer, known as the
pathmaster. The customary time of
payment was in early summer, just
before haying time, when there
wasn't much else for the men and
teams to do. The neighborhood
turned out with horses and ploughs
and harrows, ripped up diverse sections
of highways which the year's
travel had packed to a more or less
navigable condition, rounded theih
up nicely in the middle and scratched
them up smooth with the harrows.
You were never expected to work
very hard at these festive occasions,
and the pathmaster who insisted on
real work soon found himself unpopular.
It was just as well, for
since nobody had any knowledge of
roadmaking the more work the
worse results.
What some of these results were
and are we have vivid testimony.
Across Iowa last winter the "racing"
autos had to take to the railroad
tracks, because the common roads
were simply impassable. Last March
some misguided creatures began an
automobile race from New York to
Savannah, Qa. It was just at the
opening of navigation on the country
roads of the Middle South, the
time when the roads are too thin for
wheels and too thick for boats.
Across Virginia each racing automobile
had an escort of six mules to pull
it out of extra deep mudholes and to
haul its emergency rations of gasolene.
Usually this was enough; but
when an auto was so thoughtless as
to stay in the mudhole all night, the
mule teams had to be doubled and
all tbe. negroes of the neighborhood
commanded to service before that
particular contestant could proceed.
The racers averaged four miles per
hour across the Old Dominion?a
perfectly, stunning rate of speed, all
things considered.
And yet the roads of America are
vastly better than they once were,
and the improvement is going on
apace. The United States government
is lending a hand by setting its
spare scientists to work teaching the
people of different regions how to
make the best roads at the least cost.
The States are doing vastly more.
New York in 1905 voted to spend
$50,000,000 on her highways, and
while no other State is investing in
roads at that rate all arc doing something.
Cities are finding it good business
to improve the roads leading out
into the farming region; the farmers
are beginning to tax themselves in a
rational fashion for highway improvement,
and many philanthropists
have passed by the conventional college
and library donation to spend
their surplus funds on good roads,
historic mudholes are being slowly
filled up, stone and concrete are replacing
the crazy wooden bridges,
and a hundred inventions have been
made to help get the best results for
the lowest expense.
Some of the last deserve attention.
Macadam roads have long been accepted
as the standard of highway
construction. But macadam roads of
the old pattern, with crushed stones
eight inches thick, cost from $6,000
to $10,000 per mile. Now it has
been found that three or four inches
will do quite as well, and the cost is
cut squarely in two. In some parts
of the Central States, where crushed
stone, is rare, it has been found that
the very clay which makes the roads
almost impassable is the best trackmaking
material when burned. In
yet other regions the farmers have
discovered how to make good roads
by the simple expedient of rolling
or dragging them after each rain,
and in yet other places a mixture of
sand and clay, costing $300 or $400
a mile, is found almost as good as the
best macadam.
It is well that the roadmaking materials
are abundant and varied. For
there are roads enough in the United
States to reach eighty-six times
around the earth at the equator?
and nearly all those roads are bad.
The advocates of good highways will
find ample room for their missionary
enterprise for a generation to come.
