Mayor Gibbes Issues Remarkable i
Statement and Demands That <

i
Columbia, Oct. 3.?Wade Hampton i
Gibbes, mayor of Columbia, today is- <
sued a remarkable statement to the 1
public in which he states very plain- 1
ly that he is tired of unofficial crit- <
icism. "Come on with your recall.
Get up your petition. I am ready to 1
justify the record or to retire for a 1
better man, says Mayor uiDDes in nis >

"Your mayor is tired of covert J

statement. ''Come out into the open. 1

Let him come and give a bond and

Col. Larry Gant Will Not Start a
Blease Paper in This State.
Col. T. Larry Gantt has sold his
interest in the paper he owned in
North Carolina. His object was to
get out of the business management
of a paper. Mrs. Gantt, who is in the
city today, said she desired to correct
a rumor which has been in circulation
to the effect that Mr. Gantt is
going to start a newspaper in this
state. She savs that he has no idea
of doing anything of the kind. He
proposes, at his leisure, to write the
unwritten history of towns and counties
when opportunity is offered, but
he will establish no paper of his
own.?Spartanburg Journal.

MAY BAR CIGARETTES
IN GREENWOOD. '
(
Greenwood, Oct. 8.?Will cigarettes *
be put under the ban absolutely in
Greenwood, j
If a petition which has been in
circulation since Saturday is acted ?
upon favorably by city council this j
question will be answered in the af- ,
firmative. Since the publication of ,
council's decision to pass as a city ,
ordinance the state law making it a (
misdemeanor to sell cigarettes or ci- j
Rarette material to minors, a movement
has been started to put an end
once i.nd for all to the sale of this ]
form of tobacco to anybody, boys and 1
men alike.

than the state law and asks the coun- <
cil to pass a law prohibiting the sale 1
or the giving away of cigarettes or ;
cigarette material in the city of '
Greenwood. A large number of the t
leading citizens of the town have
signed the petition, and a number of
merchants, who keep cigarettes for <
sale, have also signified their ap- i
proval of the movement by indorsing 1
it.
The opinion has been expressed by 1
some that such a law would be un- i
constitutional, hut it is pointed out
by the anti-cigarette, people that oth- 1
er towns and cities now have such <
an ordinance on their books and it is
being enforced without any trouble. ]
nonea ram is saia to be one of tne '
places where it is against the law to 1
purchase or give away a cigarette.
The petition now in circulation ?
here will doubtless contain several '
hundred names when it is presented
to the city council at the November
November meeting.

vith the front of the machine pointed
Umost straight downward when he
lost control. Walsh could plainly be
leen struggling to regain his balance
l>ut without avail. The machine then
segan its fatal descent to the earth
md the large number of spectators
realized that the aviator's death was
mminent.
Walsh was 25 years old, of San
Diego, California. His wife and two
rhildren are visiting at Hammondsport,
N. Y., where they intended remaining
while he was flying East.
Walsh learned to fly with Lincoln
Beachy.

Making a permanent dimple means
s surgical operation, for a small portion
of the flesh of the cheek .must

this fascinating result is worth both
operation and money. One must suffer
