?" ~ SHERIFF SERVES NOTICE. ^ %* s Barnwell Officer Declares He Will Seize Shipments of Near Beer. it. ??. Barnwell, July 26.?Sheriff Creech seems determined to stop the illegal sale of "wet goods" in Barnwell county. He has served notice on all sellers of near beer that after July 31 all shipments of the "prohibition drink" would be seized in accordance 'with the Cary-Cothran law, "if it EES*" m ate? a nonstable at every depot in the county." Those who have been selling near "beer in Barnwell county seem to have been under the impression that they bad a right to do so, so Sheriff Creech decided to give them fair notice before taking action in the matter. To Fight for Express Rates. Chicago, July 28.?Leading rail~ roads throughout the country are preparing to combat the widespread v demand for a general slash in the express rates. The position of the rail^ roads, which heretofore has been p "?- -S ? ?X ^ i n-o p TVI O HO SUUjeUl Ul ?pctuianwa, r? cvo umuv clear this afternoon. P. S. Eustis, |b passenger traffic manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, said his company would resist all attempts to force a lower scale of prices on the express carriers. Representa| rv lives of other roads also said they "would fight the attempt to cut the * lates. Reports were read to show that the |> Sreat Northern Express made a profit |r. of 90 per cent, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.

Richmond, Va.f July 19.?The body of Ola Thaxton,' the Raleigh girl who died in the city home here March 30, was located to-day in a pickle vat in a local medical college. The corpse was received by the col! lege May 11, according to the records and, as the session was then practically over, it was decided to keep it for dissection purposes in the fall. Though badly blackened by preserving acids, the body is in an excellent state of preservation. It is not Known at tms time wnetner or not the body will be shipped to Raleigh for burial, as Lee Thaxton, the girl's brother, who came here yesterday to make an investigation, has made no application for it and has not been seen by the police authorities since yesterday afternoon. It develops that Robert Riley, who, it is alleged, induced the girl to leave home an come to Richmond six months ago, dropped dead in his home here several days ago. He was formerly employed by the girl's father, John Thaxton, in Raleigh. According to the story of the girl told shortly before her death, Riley and she came to Richmond together last winter. She soon found employment, but the wages were small and in a few weeks she lost her position. Riley soon grew tired of her, she said, and cast her off. She tried to find work again, but this time there was no work for her. March 20 she was arrested as a vagrant and was sentenced to serve 90 days in jail. A week later she was taken ill with pneumonia and died three days afterward at the city home. May Have Escaped. Mt. Crogan, July 28.?While the people of this place are still excited over the attempt at a brutal crime last Monday, the case is not as bad as has been reported. The young woman who lives in the edge of town, was in the orchard early Monday morning gathering fruit when she saw the negro, Bright Crowder, advancing toward her. The negro being between her and the house she ran in another direction toward a neighbor's home. She fras followed by the brute until she came' within sight of the neighbor's house, whereupon the negro turned back and made his escape. The published statement to the. effect that the young woman's clothing was torn is incorrect, as the negro i never got near enough to her to get hold of her. Sheriff Douglass of Chesterfield was immediately summoned and was soon on the ground. The negro was chased into North Carolina, to his home, within seven miles of Wadesboro, where he was very nearly 1 caught by a posse of perhaps 200 men, but he made his escape. Active : search was kept up until Tuesday ; morning, but without success. Sheriff Lowry, of Anson county, as ] well as Sheriff Douglass of this coun- 5 ty, was in tne searcn in i\orcn <jarulina. Owing to the fact that the land was exceedingly dry and the wind unusually high, it was impossible for the hounds to trail the negro. ? : Cuts Many Employes Off. 1 ______ Washington, July 28.?Sad-eyed women and poorly dressed men? some of the 150 census bureau employes who have received notices that with the close of the current month 1 their places will be abolished?today are besieging Clifford Hastings, appointment clerk, with stories of destitution and dependency. They are hoping against hope that they may be permitted to remain in ' the government service a little longer. In some cases the dismissal is withheld 30 days to give the employe a chance to secure* another place. Reductions at the rate of at least lou a montn are to continue irum now until June, 1912, when all of the temporary force, which numbered 3,000 last September, will have been dismissed. More than one-third of the temporary employes are now at work at the bureau. Of the 150 who are to be dismissed the last day of this month, one-third are from the State of Maryland, one-fifth from Virginia and the remainder from Delaware, South Carolina, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, West .Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. * Carries Secret to Cell. I ______ New Orleans, July 28.?"Rather than divulge that which I know would cast a stigma of dishonor upon my children, I would serve the rest of my life in the penitentiary." These were the words of Anthony Valliere, aged 50, just before being sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary for shooting his wife. After living here for years, Valliere and his wife recently separated and several weeks ago he met Mrs. Valliere and one of his daughters on the street and took several shots at the former, slightly wounding her. /. THE WORLD'S ARMIES. Switzerland Has Most Soldiers in Proportion to Population. The eighteen countries of South and Central America and Alexico, with a population of 53,924,8o9 people, have regular armies amounting to 188,954 men, or one soldier to every 298 inhabitants, says the Los Angeles Times. The United States of America had in the year 1909 a population of 83,026,000, and a regular army of 60,476, or one soldier to every 1,370 inhabitants. Japan and Korea, with a population of 51,176,602, has a regular army of 214,200 men, or one soldier to every 240 people. There are no reliable statistics concerning China, although its populn^inn in nnfimotaH of AAA AAA a rt H iClllUil ID UOlliUai^U CL V tv vjvvvj uuv? its army at only 100,000, or one soldier to every 40,000 people. India has a population of 231,899,507, with a regular army of 75,486, or one soldier to every 3,070 people. Aifetralia has a population of 4,759,495, and a regular army of 33,058, or one soldier to every 144 people. Canada has a population of 5,528,847, and a regular army of 40,730,' or one'soldier to every 136 people. Turkey, Bulgaria and Egypt have a population of 38,478,383, with a regular army of 444,994, or one soldier to every 86 people. . Europe has a population of 402,577,540, with regular armies aggregating 3,826,252 men, or one soldier to every 104 inhabitants. Of European countries peaceful little Switzerland appears to have the largest armed force proportionately. She has one soldier to every 23 people. France has one soldier to every 51 people. Germany and Sweden have| each one soldier to every 90 people. The other countries range between 110 people in Russia to 170 people in Great Britain to each soldier. A reduction of the regular armies of Europe to the proportion of the regular army of the United States would effect a direct saving of $500,000,000 annually to the nations, and would restore to productive industries 2,733,000 men, whose earnings, conservatively estimated, would amount to $500,000,000 more. Europe has $1,000,000,000 per annum to gain by the adoption of Carnegie's plan of general disarmament, and of President Taft's policy of arbitration. One thousand millions per annum is the cost of maintaining armies upon a peace footing, while the cost of war is not capable of being estimated. It costs the people of Great Britain $3.98 per annum per capita or population to. maintain her army on a peace footing. It costs France $3.48 per capita and Germany $2.05 per capita. The cost to the United States is but 94 cents per capita. The reserved force of every European nation is very great in proportion to the number of soldiers in the regular irmy. But no where is it so great as i in the United States, which could, if i necessary, call ten millions of men i into the field. Mi TIJ? H IUSUiug iur nis iuuiivj I ???? Kansas City, July 27.?A man who said his name was Mortland and that < he was one of two flowa farmers who i mortgaged their homes for $16,000 ] and sent the money to Chicago to "J. B. Haggins," who was to bet it on a ; horse race and "clean up" a small fortune, came here to-day to get $8,- i 000, the amount he put up and his share of the winnings. He has failed to find "Mr. Haggins." According to the story told by Mr. < Mortland, a "J. B. Haggins," of Chicago, several months ago visited his section of Iowa and made friends of many of the farmers. He especially , interested Mortland and his neigh- j bor and when he returned to umcago the two often sent him small amounts of money which "Haggins" would bet on horse races. The farm- , ers won many times the amount of the money they bet. A short time ago, Mortland said, "Haggins" wrote to him, advising him and his neighbor to raise all the money they could, saying he had inside information on a big race and would win a fortune for each. The farmers mortgaged their homes for $8,000 each and forwarded the money to "Haggins." A short time later he wrote them he had won. Then he wrote to Mortland to meet him in Kansas City and get the money. This brought Mortland to this city to-day. He still is here trying to locate his friend, the $1-6,000 and the winnings. Wants Pension for Each Husband. Atlanta, Ga., July 26.?Claming that she is a widow of five husbands all of whom fought in the civil war, a Walton county woman applied for five pensions aggregating $60 monthly The applicant stated that she was Miss Malcom and declared her first husband was killed during the first of the war, the second met a like fate toward the close of the war. She asserts that the three men she has married since the war were Confederate veterans. ' BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON. "Old Hickory's" Caustic Advice to James Buchanan. Stories of Andrew Jackson are likely to be pointed and to have a practical application, as do the stories told of Franklin. In Mr. J. W. Forney's "Anecdotes of Public Men" there is given a story as it was told by James Buchanan at his own table. Although it contained a reproof from the president to one who was to succeed him, it is said to have been a favorite story at that board. Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's return from Russia in 1834, ta the court of which country he had been sent by Jackson in 1832, and immediately following his election to the u - ~?11 "r?lr? Ui/>l/nrv" btJLta.Lt; ue uancu upuu viu j with a fair English lady whom he desired to present to the head of the American nation. : Leaving her in the reception room downstairs, he ascended to the president's private quarters, where he i&und General Jackson unshaved, unkempt, in his dressing gown, with his slippered feet on the fender, before a blazing wood fire, smoking a corncob pipe? of the old southern pattern. He stated his object, and General Jackson said that he would be very glad to meet the lady whom Mi\ Buchanan desired to present. Mr. Buchanan was always careful -a 1--~ ? nnr>An<M>nnn anil in UL LUS JJCISUUdl apfcaiauv^ auu *u some respects was a sort of masculine Miss Fribbe, addicted to spotless cravats* and huge collars, rather proud of a foot small for a man of his large stature and to the last of his life what the ladies would call "a very good figure." aving just returned from a visit to the fashionable circles of the continent after years of thorough intercourse with the etiquette of one of the stateliest courts in Europe, he was somewhat shocked at the idea of the president meeting the eminent English lady in such a guise and ventured to ask if General Jackson did not intend to change his attire. Thereupon the old warrior rose, with his long pipe in his hand, and, deliberately knocking the ashes out of the bowl, said to his friend: "Buchanan, I want to give you a little piece of advice, which I hope you will remember. I knew a man once who made a fortune by attending to his own business. Tell the lady I will see her presently." The man who became president in 1857 was fond of saying that this .remark of Andrew Jackson humiliated him more than any other rebuke he had ever received. He walked downstairs to meet the lady in his charge, and in a very j snort time ^resident jacKson eutereu the room, dressed in a full suit of black, cleanly shaved, with his stubborn white hair forced back from his forehead, and, advancing to the beautiful visitor, he greeted her with almost kingly grace. As she left the White House she said to her escort: "Your Republican president is the royal model of a gentleman." Wasn't Interested. ? I Gov. Taylor, of Pennsylvania, says ! the Cosmopolitan, is an inveterate smoker and choice as to his selection of cigars. Lighting a Havana recently he said: : *"The Londoners are indifferent about their tobacco?indifferent and blase, like an omnibus conductor I saw in Oxford street. "You know the London omnibus? It is a double-decker. If you sit on top you must go up and down on by a very steep stairway. "Well, this blase conductor pulled up his 'bus at Regent circus and the ladies bound for Peter Robinson's got out. But one fat lady, who had been sitting on top, came down the steep and winding stairs very slowly. Her skirt flapped around her ankles and at every step she stopped for the fifth or sixth time to thrust down her billowing skirt, and he burst out angri ly: " 'Now, then, lydy, 'urry up, can't yer? Figgers ain't no treat to me!' " Bryan's Joke About Titles. William Jennings Bryan once joked about the American fondness for titles, says an exchange. "You all know of the colonel," he said, "who got his title by inheritance, having married Col. Brown's widow. But I once met a general who got his title neither by inheritance nor by service, nor by anything you could mention. " 'General,' I said to him, 'how do you come by this title of yours, anyway?' " 'Why, sir,' said he, 'I passed my ..n.n+Vi +Vic flnur trsirlp anti for 27 )UUlll 1U V* ? years was a general; miller.' "I know another titled man? Judge Greene. " 'Are you sir,' I asked him, 'a United States judge or a circuit court judge?' " 'I ain't neither,' he replied; 'I'm a jedge of hoss-racin'. ' " For Rent.?Nice office rooms in The Herald building.

I will always use Hunt's Cure for itching trouble, and tell' all L see about. I could shout now to know that we are all well of that dreadful trouble. The first of last fall my little boy broke out with some kind of itching trouble. Thinking his blood was bad I gave him a blood tonic, but he got worse, and could not sleep at night. Some said he had itch, and told me what was good for it. I used what people said would cure it, but nothing did any good. My other two children and myself took the disease from him in January, 1911. I saw Hunt's Cure advertised and I. purchased a 50c. box. It helped my little boy so much I got a box for each of the family, and now we are all well of that awful trouble. Hunt's Cure will cure itch in a short time if you will go by directions. We had it in its worst form,- and used Hunt's Cure, and we ?? ~n n,Aii iXI t? LIU vv an rt en. Thanks to A. R.
