H. Franklin, of the Orangeburg police force, was electrocuted at the; Penitentiary here this morning at 11.20 o'clock. Palmer was visited in his cell. a few hours before his death by R. [ Fulton Dukes, sheriff of Orangeburg j county, and made a complete statement of the tragedy, claiming that j what he said at the trial in regard ; to the connection of Clint Kennedy,; another negro under life sentence, with the tragedy was true. He also reguested that his body be sent home. Palmer was marched to the chair at i twenty minutes after 11 o'clock and was given.three shocks of 2,000 volts each, shortly after which the prison physician pronounced him dead. Th? Grafter. j James B. Dill, whose recent speech j on -'graft" at Oberlin college im- j pressed the entire country, told recently, apropos of graft, a. story of a swindling tramp. "This tramp," said Mr. Dill, "had the alert, unscrupulous bold mind that makes grafting successful. "He was walking down the street i one day, when he saw a little -boyj stoop and pick up something. "He crossed over to the boy quick- ! ly. " 'You have made a find, my lad,' | he said. " 'Yes, sir,' said the innocent boy, 'I have found a silver ring.' " 'I thought so,' said the tramp. 'It's the one I just dropped. Now,! ain't it lucky I had my name on it?' j " 'What is your name?' said the boy suspiciously. " 'Sterling, lad.1 " 'Take it, then. It's yours,' said the boy handing the ring over with a disappointed air."?Chicago Tribune, j Took His Conceit Away. In a candy store on Fulton street! the other day a young man said many | annoying sentimental things to one i of the pretty saleswomen. She tried j to appear not to notice his imperti- 1 nence, since her duty there is to sell j candy, but when she had made the.1 sale and he still continued his ob- i jectionable advances she turned her j big, round, innocent looking eyes up ! to him and. in her most winsome way, j said: "I wonder if you know why you re- j mina me or our canaies: The young man was evidently encouraged. He smiled his most fetch- j ing smile, twisted his little mustache and said: j "Well, you remind me of candy be- j cause you are so sweet. Now, why I do I remind you of candy?\ For an answer she merely pointed > to the sign in the window, which ; said: "Fresh every hour." By the time he had seen the point j she was too busily engaged with an-! other customer to pay any further attention to him,?Brooklyn Eagle. / 3B ii n 3 of jht out the Bankru to my store here at liar.

The Greatest Deposit in the World is in California. At last the bill permitting devel- j opment of what has been called by chemists "the greatest known deposit; of potash in the world" has been |? passed bjr both the senate and the;; house. This deposit is in the briny | waters of Searles Lake, 'California, i and, as the lake and surounding land had been withdrawn by the govern- j ment from the operation of mining | laws, new legislation was required be-, fore it pould be taken out. During the last three years and before the I present session the needed bill had been passed twice in the house, but j action by the senate was prevented. In years preceding the war our sup-: ply of potash came from Germany, j Imports in 1913 were 529,000 tons; ! last year only 10,000 tons were received, and there has been an extra-i ordinary advance of price. Search j for deposits in our own country has not been fruitful, if Searles Lake be; excepted. Small quantities have been, taken from feldspar, alunite, and sea-' weed, but our output in the first half' of the present year was only 14,000! tons. Volcanic rocks in Wyoming. contain much potash. The Geological; Survey's estimate is that nearly 200,-! 000,000 tons lie there, but it was said in the house debate that no work-; able process for extracting the min-j eral had been found. In the California lake, whose areaj is 39,000 acres, there is a great sup-j ply, and it can be made ready for the market at a reasonable cost. The Geological Survey and the Bureau of i Mines say that the lake's waters hold j in solution 20,000,000 tons. In a let- t ter to the house committee on public' lands a few days ago, George Otis Smith, director of the Survey, said: j "I see no way to increase this output (of 14,000 tons in six months) on anything like the scale needed, and especially from a source that may be expected to permit competi-; tion with the German potash, except; by opening up the Searles Lake under the best possible conditions, which I think are provided in the measure which the committee has reported." ; Secretary Lane, in a letter to the ! same committee, showed how agricultural yield per acre was increased by; potash fertilizer, and said he regard-!; ed the bill as an "important war t measure." It was supported by the' Council of National Defefise. Two companies that have reduction plants near at hand will now acquire by j I II ?10< NOW ON ~ HRY pt stock of Dry Q( Bamberg.

Approximately Five* Hundred Vessels Commandeered by Government. Washington, Oct. 15.?Approximately 500 American coastwise and ocean ships of 2,500 tons or over were commandeered today by the goverment. Ships on the Great Lakes ? * * .a ^ _ c are not anectea. aooiu iour-mtus ui the number taken are cargo ships. All along the Alantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts among registered and enrolled ships, all carefully listed in advance in the shipping board files, were taken over.for government control. As requests from the army and navy departments, Allies and other government sources are passed upon for use a certain amount of tonnage orders will be telegraphed to ships assigning them to particular service, the order requistitions all cargo ships carrying 2,500 tons total dead weight, including bunkers, water and stores, and all passenger steamers of more than 2,500 tons gross register. Will Not Alter Movements. Commissioner Colby, in active charge of the commandeering of the ships, said the requisitioning would not make any material difference in the present movement of ships. "It ought not to delay any of them more than a couple of hours at the most on their present work," he said. "We are turning the ships back to owners to operate them on government account under the same systems as in England. We will not disturb them until there is concrete case of need. "Our purpose is to unify the control of all these ships available for open traffic. We have fixed a requisition rate, based on a fair appraisal, which deplaces the speculative, hectic bidding for tonnage under old private charters." The rates are considerably under the prevalent high rates. A Projjer Distinction. Here is a story of John Fiske, which illustrates his frankness: It seems that one day his wife had :o report to him that their son had been guilty of calling Mrs. Jones, a neighbor, a fool, and Mr. Jones a much worse fool. Professor Fiske sent for the youngster and when he appeared in the library said to him sternly: "My'son, is it true that you said Mrs. Jones was a fool?" Hanging his head, the boy replied: "Yes, father, I did." "And did you call Mr. Jones a worse fool?" "Yes, father." After a'moment's reflection, the famous historian said slowly, "Well, my son, that is just about the distinc:ion I should make."?Boston Record. 1 Al- - ? *?n A A. ? A-v 1.

Through Use of Acid Iron Mineralj Daughter was Restored to Healthy Says Rev. O. B. Newton. i The following tribute to a medi-1 cine from Reverend Doctor 0. B. Newton, pastor M. E. church, speaks j ; volumes for the medicinal value of j natural iron as it is now concentrat| ed, tested, and bottled by the Ferro-; dine Chemical Corp., under the namej of Acid Iron Mineral. He said: "My little girl suffered from gastritis, acute Bright's disease and de| veloped symptoms of pellagra. For j several months she was an invalid I and reduced almost to a skeleton. No : one who saw her thought she could ! possibly live. The best medical skill i available was applied but with no re| suits. She only grew worse until; : physicians told us not to be surpris-1 | ed at her death at any time. Our ati tention was first called to a kidney i j and bladder pill and we gave her j ! part of one fifty-cent bottle, after ; which we gave her Acid Iron Mineral' j regularly. She is now well and has ! all her faculties well developed again j and you would not guess she had ev- j | er had a sick day in her life by her appearance. We have recommended ! A-I-M to several parties and do most "" n . - ? | heartily recommend it to any one sui: fering from any tiouble which it I claims to relieve. Respectfully, ! (Signed) "O. B. NEWTON, "Pastor M. E.

Unlike many prepared remedies; I containing iron, Acid Iron .Mineral I does not act as a laxative, but the 1 necessity of keeping the liver and : bowels working normally being so ! apparent, the Ferrodine Chemical j ! Corp. puts up an A-I-.M Liver Pill in ; j 25c boxes, which are recommended i as part of the treatment when using | Acid Iron Mineral.
