According- t*> general reports g the attempt was organized and led , | b> Col. Luke Lea, commander of the NX 114th field artillery, who returned s, with his regiment through Newport . News, and is now at Camp Oglethorpe for mustering out. The story was told here last week by men p in the first contingent of the Old Hickory division to land at Charleston, but it was not published at the ^ time because it was represented by friends of Col. Lea that publication ^ might prove seriously embarrassing to him and might even result in court martial. Since then the story ^ has been published in one form or another an -several newspapers, and finally, the New York Times of Tiies day carried it in considerable detail. , The Times' story reads as follows: Col. Luke Lea, former United Stat- , es senator from Tennessee, command or of the 114th field artillery of the j 30th division?the "Old Hickory" di- , vision of Carolinians and Tennesseeans?who returned from France only a week ago in command of his men, is the American colonel who led the - party of American army officers who tried to kidnap the former German Kaiser last winter. The fact that Col. Lea headed the kidnapping party was fully confirmed tonight by the correspondent of the New York Times from the lips of a Tennessee man who talked with Col. Lea upon his arrival at Newport News, Va., in command of the 114th field artillery last Sunday after that ur.it had arrived from St. Nazaire, Fiance, on the transport Finland. "While current versions of the story printed last January in French, Brit ish and American newspapers asserted that the attempt to kidnap the Kaiser was made on Jan. 5, Col. Lea indicated to those to whom he spoke last Sunday that it really took place just before Christmas. "What were you going to do with the Kaiser if your kidnapping project succeeded?" Col. Lea was asked bj, those to whom he admitted that be. headed the party that went to the castie cX Count von Bentinek, near Amerongctn "We were going to give him a free ride to Paris in our automobile and present him to President Wilson as a Christmas gift." This statement by Col. Lea would indicate that the attempt was made just before Christmas, and it was in tunated tonjght that it took place about December 21. From what was learned from the gentlemen who talk ed with Col. Lea at Newport News there were fully a dozen officers and men of the American army in the automobile party commanded by Col. Lea that tried to obtain possession of the Kaiser. They were armed with passports, which they had managed in some way to obtain and which enabled them to tiavel through Holland to the Castle, where the Kaiser was stopping. They got close enough to the presence of the Kaiser, Col. Lea told close friends 3ince his arrival in this country, to hear his voice, but were foiled through tHo sudden dispatch of Dutch guards frora Amevongen to the Castle, a contingency wholly unexpected and which forced the American officers to make a quick retirement in their military automobile to avoid arrest and possible internment by the Holland authorities, if not courtma.5linl proceedings in the Are. ciican army, provided their identic fthoul 1 bocom known.

This action as begun several months ago, purl ant to a resolution passed in the eneral assembly of Georgia. Last week Governor Cooper comluted to life imprisonment the death icnalty of John Henry Jackson, a legro, sentenced to die in the elecric chair for the killing of another legro in Abbeville County in Sopember, 1917. The State of South Carolina was victorious in its defense against the complaint filed by J. O'Neal Sandel jf Calhoun County. The jury in the :ase returned a verdict for the defondant. Augusta wants to play baseball with South Carolina cities and Charlotte in the proposed league rather than join the Georgia and Florida combination. Charleston is to have a new hotel representing an investment of nearly $1,000,000. The Wofford College Glee Club will begin its 12th annual tour of the | State on April 21. S. Glenn Young-, who has made for himself a nationwide reputation in l-\ months in running down despera-; does and deserters from Uncle Sam's; army, arrived in Columbia last week j with five deserters who he ran to J cover in Davidson County, N. C. ing all the details of the kidnapping' attempt as soon as he is discharged from the United States army. 7 he possibility that he might oven yet have to face a court-martial for having crossed into Holland on such an expedition, and that those who were with him might be similarly dealt with, has been one of Col. Lea's motives for extreme reticence in the matter. While in France he and those who were with him remain ed exceedingly quiet about the mat tei because they were in constant fear that they would be court martialed. When the 114th field artillery arrived at Newport News there were a number of Tennessee newspaper men there to greet the regiment. Tn some manner word had reached Tennessee that Col. Lea commanded the Kaiser-kidnapping party, and those of the Tennessee newspaper men who were sent to Newport News who had a "tip" on the story were very anx ious to obtain full details from Col. Lea. He told them the story wa> jtiue, and that, while he intended tc tell the whole story later, he did not care to confirm the facts so long a.? he was an officer in the uniform ot the American army. ' !He related some of the details tc several with whom he talked and ton them that the party of more than i dozen American officers and soldier! was made up of men from all part: ' of the United States. | There were four commissioned an; ! three non-commissioned officers ii the party besides some others.

MOTRKPREVENTED BY RIGHT METHOD Mottled butter is frequently found on the market at this time of the year, and, even though it may be of very good flavor, it is strongly discriminated against by the purchaser As this defect is one of workmanship, it can be overcome by tl o application of proper methods on the nart of the buttermaker. ( Mottles are caused primarily by an j irreven distribution of salt in the bu tei. This may be produced by insu '' ficient working of the butter or by churning, washing, and working ?t - at a very low temperature, or by ! washing or working it at a temperature several degrees higher or lower ' than the churning temperature. AVhen the quantity of butter made in one churning is much less than usual, it is necessary to work it at a greater number of revolutions of the churn than usual in order to produce the same results on the butter. Extremely low temperatures of churning, washing, and working should be avoided, because they produce so firm a butter that it is only with great difficulty that the salt i i _ i ixt*;f Ml) IJ'! WUUt'll iliunM Jiut> into iv. High temperatures of churning, .va?hing, and working must also be v.oidcd to prevent an abnormal loss of fat in the buttcimilk and also the making of a greasy, leaky butler. Great variations in temperature during the manufacturing process hould always be avoided. Undei normal conditions the temperature oi the wash water should bo the sanu us, or within 2 degrees of, that of the buttermilk. i j o Colds Cause Grip and Influenza IIJIXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove th< cause.
