The wheel* in one revolve precisely the same number of times in twenty-four hours as in all other modern watches. The balance wheels in all accurate modern watches pulsate exactly 18,000 times every hour. Once more or less and the watch is not a per fect time-keeper. The difference in watches lies not in the number of whoi Is but in the care and skill exercised in making finishing and adjusting the parts which compose the watch. You can understand the importance of this by realizing that the point of the balance wheel stalf or axle is one ten thousandth of an inch in diameter or about the size of a human hair. The least bit of difference in the size of this staff, even though it is so small that the most delicate instrument will hardly detect it materially affects the time-keeping quali ties of the watch. Therefore the quality of the watch is dependent upon tiie skill and care used in its making and not upon patented devices and material. It is true that some manufacturers might use inferior and imperfect jewels, but only the best of material of every character is used In the SOUTH HEN I) watch. It takes three times as long in care to make a SOUTH BEND as any other watch of similar grade. This extra time and attention is the rea son for the SOUTH BEND being the most perfect watch grade for grade ever constructed. Watches are so sensitive to the habits of the persons who carry them that even a SOUTH BEND, with all the care and time spent upon its adjustment to give perfect time, should be adjusted to the individual who is to carry it. For this reason we have established a large corps of watch ins|>ector8, the largest in the world. Our 12.805 inspectors are our regular jewelers in all parts of the country and competent to adjust the SOUTH BEND so that it will give perfect time-keeping satisfaction We give this service to every purchaser of a SOUTH BEND watch ab solutely free: We charge nothing for the extra attention in making the SOUTH BEND the perfect time-keeper that it is. SOUTH BEND wacches can be had only of authorized SOUTH BEND watch inspectors . Retail jewelers in nearly every city in America. If you want a watch upon which you can absoluetly rely, and that will keep perfect time under all conditions, even though frozen in solid ice, buy a SOUTH 11 END. Sold By Fleming1 Bros Laurens, S. C. 50 Per Cent Better "1 have used less than one bottle of Cardui," writes Mrs. Gertrude Ward, of Rushville, Neb., "and am feeling fifty per cent better than when I began taking it. "Before taking Cardui, I had suffered with female trouble, for eight years. My greatest trouble was irregu larity. I also suffered with severe pains, every month, but now 1 am greatly improved and will recommend Car dui to all my suffering friends." Take CARDUI J 48 The Woman's Tonic The rare medicinal herbs of Cardui arc imported by the manufacturers direct from Europe and are not to be found n any other medicine. These ingredients are what give Cardui its superiority, as a female medicine and tonic, over any other medicine. For over 50 years Cardui has been the favorite wom an's medicine. The ladies like it, because it is so easy to take so gentle, so safe, so reliable In its results, and thev have faith in its curative tonic powers, because of the thousands of other ladies it has helped.

November 21 As a Thanksgiving gift, Governor Ansel paroled Walter Alien, the celebrated young mountaineer from Greenville COUnty, Who, while serving a life sen tence in the State penitentiary, escap ed and then voluntarily returned. He was convicted in 1901, In Greenville 'county, of murder and was sentenced to life. Allen killed Henry Trammel!, n neighbor. Trammel I, n bachelor, went to Allen's house in Allen's absence ami made an insulting remark to ixlrs. Allen then a young and pretty womar*. .Mrs. Allen also testified that Tram mel! attempted to catch hold of her. bill she broke away from him. On her husband's return she told him of the visit 01 Trammeil and he went I in search of Trammelt. A dilHculty ! ensued. In which Trainmell was killed , Appeals for Pardon. 1 On the trial of Allen in the fall of I 1901. Judge Townsend presided and 1 Mr. A. H. Dean, for Solicitor Hoggs, prosecuted the case. When he was sent to the penitentiary Allen soon attracted the favorable attention of j the prison authorities and was made a trusty, frequently driving the buggy of Superintendent Griffith and having I c harge of the horses at the peniten i tiary. In 1007. at the October meet I ing of the board of pardons, a petition , 1 for Allen's pardon was presented, hav I ing the endorsement of Judge Towns end. Among those who had written strong personal appeals to the Gov ernor In Alien s behalf were the late James L. Orr and W. E. Seattle, of; Greenville, ( apt. Black's Efforts. The first record of Allen's effort to get a pardon are found in a letter from Capt. W, D. Black, then captain of the guard at the penitentiary, In ' which In- says to Solicitor Julius E. Mo.'L's that Allen's friends would get up a numerously signed petition pro vided the solicitor would agree not to endorse it unfavorably. This letter I from Black was sent by Hoggs to Al len with the following endorsement: "Deat Allen: If you can get the en dorsement set forth in this letter! from your friend Black, I shall be' pleased to make a favorable report. I send you his letter, as it may give you pleasure to know your friends' efforts." This was dated July H, 1905, when Allen had served three and one half years of a life sentence. ('apt. 1). J. Griffith, in a personal letter to Governor Hey ward, stated: ( apt. Griffith'* Letter. "Walter Allen was sent here from Greenville county December 1, 1001, and has proved a most excellent pris- ! oner. Has obeyed all rules of this in-:' stltution to the letter In every partlc-|' Ular. I would respectfully add that | { his morals have been good. He has 1 ^ never been guilty of proranity or oth er immoral conduct while here'" On account of the failure of his at torney to present certain papers to. the board at that mee ting the board j i of pardons did not act on the petition ( at tlx- October. 1007, meeting. Had they done so It is probabe that par don would have bei n recommended. Meanwhile Allen received a letter * from his young wife, stating that she I was III and that she wanted to see him ( once more before she died. ( Escaped and Itcturned. ( It was easy enough for Allen to es- ^ cape. He was a trusty, and at day- . break he simply walked out of the prison barn yard, along with Jim ' Sllddath, another mountaineer, who ( had been sent down from Greenville |{ for murder. That was on October ID, | 1007. , A reward was offered for Allen's capture, hut it was not necessary. Inj' a few days ( apt. Griffith received aH letter from Allen's wife, who was then | working in a cotton fill in Greenville | county, saying that she had heard | Walter had escaped and that when be . came to her she would send him back to the prison. She did so. Allen returned within a few days to.' the penitentiary and again donned the 1 I stripes. Of course, he was no longer | a t rusty. Free at Lust. ( apt. Griffith and others, who were struck by the manliness of the fellow 1 in returning voluntarily to prison, alter he had seen bis slek wife, have never ceased to hope that he would be given his liberty, and frequent ap peals have been made to Governor An- ' sei for his release. Walter Allen walk ed out of the prison Thanksgiving 1 morning, a free man. as long as he conducts himself properly, He Is now about 36 years old. Mrs. Allen recovered her health and Is now living in Greenville city. Sud duth. who escaped with Allen, has never been captured.
