PALMER IS ELECTROCUTED.

Slayer of Orangeburg Police Sergeant
Pays Penalty.
i
'
Columbia, Oct. 12.?Macky Palmer j
the negro convicted in Orangeburg'
last spring for the murder of Sergt. 1
H. 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.

OUB POTASH LAKE.
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

STEAMSHIPS TAKEN OVER.
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.

Through Use of Acid Iron Mineralj
Daughter was Restored to

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. Church, South, Chat'
ham, Va."
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. These little pills
ova tho hp<;t we ran recommen-d and
, - :
I are very inexpensive.
j Xote.?Acid Iron Mineral is just |
j a highly concentrated form of natur
| al medicinal iron, non-alcoholic and ;
, very economical. Whole families
I should take it. It never injures the!
I teeth, goes from two to six times as |
J far and is many times more powerful
and efficient than other inferior prep,
arations. A half teaspoonful in a
j tumbler of water after meals makes
j a delightful, invigorating and most
I unusual tonic, stomach, kidney and
I bladder regulator. Cleansing the
! blood, enriching and purifying it, j
watch how quickly the appetite in-j
creases and the user gains weight.!
