FOR MEN WHO
CARE TO DRESS WELL”
Ever}' year an army of men is discovering that they
can find thorough satisfaction in the Barry Shoe.
This is true for the following reasons:
First, because it is always thoroughly up-to-date in style.
Second, because it is well made by Union labor, of the finest
materials ever put into a shoe.
Third, because it is designed for the perfect
comfort of the foot.
Surely you can't look for anything more in a
shoe than this!

< Progressive Farmer.)
The old trails and cart Iracts. run
when men had less to carry and car
ried it less often than they do now,
will no longer answer the purpose of
roads. With the coming of a vaster
population and the tremendous in
crease in market crops, the traffic
laid upon the old highways is greater
than they can bear. Suddenly we
have swung into an age of roadbuild
ing. The necessity is here; the abili
ty to build is here. If this latter
point some be constrained to deny,
let it be taken into account that a
people who are able to sustain tha
amazing losses of time, of broken ve
hicles, and of ruined teams, entailed
by our present system of roads are
well able to build and maintain bet
ter highways. The challenge is not
to our ability, but to our willingness,
our enterprise.
You can cure dyspepsia, indigest
ion, sour or weak stomach, or in fact
any form of stomach trouble If you
take Kodol occasionally—just at the
times when you need it. Kodol does
not have to be taken all the time.
Ordinarily you only take Kodol now
and then, because it completely di
gests all the food you eat, and after
a few days or a week or so, the
stoifcach can digest the food without
the aid of Kodol. Then you don’t
need Kodol any longer. Try It today

THE GAME l\W8.
REPORTED CHINA’S EMPEROR IS
DEAD AND DOWAGER DYING.
Pekin, Nov. 14.—The emperor oi
China was reported dead at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. It has, howev
er, been impossible to secure ofhciai
confirmation of this announcement.
His majesty was transferred to the
death chamber at 2 o’clock in the af
ternoon. At that hour he was still
breathing.
It is reported that the dowager em
press* is also dying.
This rumor would explain the two
edicts issued late this afternoon re
garding a regency of the empire.
The death of the emporer of China,
if it is true, brings to an end the
reign of a sovereign feeble in mind
and body, who has been dominated
all his life by the all-powerful influ
ence of the dowager empress. Kuaug
Hsu’s “reign.”
The emperor was born in 1870. His
succession to the throne was one of
the many arbitrary and illegal acts
of the dowager empress, who adopted
him into the succession from a gen
eration the same as that of his pre
decessor, although the constitution of
Manchu dynasty and precendent pro
vide that the succession shall go to
the next following generation.
The New Ruler.
Prince Chun is a brother of the em
peror. His name is Tsai-Fong and he
succeeded to the title of his father,
Prince Chun, in 1891. He is a lieuten
ant general of the plain white banner
corps and visited Germany in 1901 as
a special commissioner of the throne.

District Attorney Heney Shot by Juror
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 14.—The
San Francisco bribery graft cases had
a dramatic climax when Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Heney, who
has been in charge of the prosecution
during the tortuous course of two
years, was shot and seriously wound
ed in the crowded court room by Mor
ris Haas, an ex-convict.
The shooting occurred during a
brief recess in the third trial of Abra
ham Ruef on a charge of bribery, now
in its eleventh wpek.
Mr. Heney is now resting easily in
the I^ane hospital, and the physicians
say his wound is not fatal. Haas is
in the city prison.
The would-be assassin is a saloon
keeper, who was drawn upon the jury
panel in the second trial of Ruef, and
who, after having been temporarily
passed by both sides, was exposed in
a dramatic manner by Mr. Heney as
an ex-convict and discharged from the
Jury. Haas declared after the shoot
ing that Heney had ruined his life by
the exposure, and that he had deter
mined to kill him for that reason.
Work of the Audubon Society in the
State.
The following article taken from
the Spartanburg Herald of the 8th
Inst., should be of interest, not only
to Gaffney and Cherokee people, but
to everybody In the State, as it con
cerns the killing of birds in the State
and prosecutions that will follow
violations of the laws as set forth by
the Audubon Society:
“Mr. James Henry Rice, Jr., secre
tary of the Audubon Society, stated
to a Herald representative yesterday
that Mr. Walter N. Query, of Welford,
had qualified as game warden for
Spartanburg and would be in the field
every day. Mr. Rice said that the
Audubon Society bad cases made out
against Napoleon Weaver and John
Snow, both colored, for violating the
game laws. The warrants for Weaver
and Snow were sworn out before
Magistrate Kirby. .. #
Mr. Rice says they have a case
against. Dave Wilson, colored, who
lives on Mr. Tom White’s place, for
violating the game laws by trespass.
In these cases $20 would be the min
imum fine.
Birds That Can be Killed.
Following is a list of the birds that
can be killed, as given out by Mr.
Rice yesterday:
Rice birds, black birds, doves, up
land plover, sandpipers, swan, wild
geese, brant, wild duck, rails (marsh
hens), coots, gallinules, surf birds,
snipe, woodeftek, curlew, wild turkey,
prairie chicken and quail.
All the rest of the feathered throng
are protected, except the English
sparrows, blue darters, chicken hawks,
and duck hawks. One can kill crows
only when they are on his premises
and in the act of destroying crops.
The Snowy Heron.
In reference to the arrests being
made of millinery dealers for the
handling of feathers of non-game
birds. Mr. Rice said they would cer
tainly be prosecuted. When asked
could the case be handled if the
feathers were of birds not raised in
South Carolina, Mr. Rice pointed the
Herald representative to the law,
which reads: ‘No part of the plum
age. skin or bodv of any bird protect
ed by the act shall be sold or had In
possession for sale, and this irres
pective of whether said bird was cap
tured or killed within or without the
State.’
It will be remembered that a war
rant was issued for Mr. Mack Good-
lett. proprietor of a millinery store
in the city, some time ago for having
on display a hat trimmed with the
snowy eiarette, or feathers from the
white heron. Mr. Rice said the heron
was one of the most, useful birds in
the land for the destruction of insect
pests: that this fact was recognized
in all the thickly populated commu
nities and not only the law, but. so
ciotv condemned the killing of the
birds to furnish eigrettes for hats.
Mr. Rice said tbat~the feathers of the
heron could not be placed on sale in
the larger cities, and that for that
reason vast, quantities of them are
shinned to Southern cities. In his
opinion the law will soon check the
wholesale slaughter of these useful
birds and society in Southern cities
will condemn the use of the elgrette.
There is nothing in the statement,
said Mr. Rice, to the effect that the
eigrettes in possesion of those who
have them in stock imitations. The
elgrette can not be successfully imi
tated.”
TAFT INVITED.
Maj. Hemphill Wants Him to Visit
Charleston.
Tue Columbia State’s Washingtbn
correspondent writes, under date of
November 15th: “Mr. Taft, presl
dent-elect, was today presented with
a special telegraphic invitation from
Maj. Hemphill, editor of The News
and Courier, to visit Charleston on
his Southern trip. The invitation was
presented by Mr. P. H. McGowan,
Washington correspondent of The
News and Courier.
"Where is that Hong Kong gander,
anyway?” asked Mr. Tafi.
“Mr. Gadsden has it, I believe.” an
swered Mr. McGowan.
“Well, you tell Mr. Hemphill that
the next time he wants to raise a
campaign fund he had bette • get up
some scheme which will bri ig more
than $5.95. Tell him he had better
make some soup out of that gander.”
And the big sides literally shook with
meriment.
The gander and a hen were contrib
uted to Tlie News and Courier’s Bryan
campaign fund by Editor Caldwell of
the charlotte Observer."

Mail Clerk Gone Wrong.
Columbus. Ga., Nov. 14.—Roy F.
Bagley, chief mailing clerk of the Co
lumbus postoffice, arrested, charged
with robbing the mails. Money had
been frequently extracted from letters
passing through the Columbus office,
and Bagley was suspected. Marked
bills w-ere mailed in decoy letters by
a postoffice inspector, and two special
officers shadowed Bagley during the
day. When arrested Bagley desisted,
and it Is claimed that he made an at
tempt to destroy the money which he
had on his person. The officers iden-
lifled bills which wore taken from Bag-
ley as the marked money sent in the
decoy letters.

The Old Horse.
(Unknown.)
No children, he shall not be sold;
Go. lead him home, and dry your
tears;
Tis true, he’s blind and lame and old.
But be has served us twenty years.
Well has he served us; gentle, strong.
And willing, through life’s varied
stage;
And having toiled for us so long.
We will protect him in his age.
Our debt of gratitude to pay,
His faithful merits to requite,
His playground be the heath by day,
A shed shall shelter him at night.
In comfort, he shall end his days;
And when I must to market go,
I’ll cut across the shortest ways,
And set out earlier home, you know.
A life of labor was his lot;
He always tried to do his best;
Poor fellow, now we’ll grudge him not
A little liberty and rest.
Go, then, old friend; thy future fate
To range the heath, from harness
free.
And just below the cottage gate
I’ll go and build a shed for thee.
And there we’ll feed and tend thee
well.
And with these comforts, we’ll en
gage
i No other horse shall ever tell
Of a more happy, green old age.
