Mrs. Jeanne Hodgson
Catlett gave cyanide of potassium to
ber two months old daughter, Jeanne,
thia afternoon and swallowed a
draught of the same poison herself.
Both lay dead on the same bed when
the husband, a supervising chemist
employed by the Western Electric
Company, came home tonight.
Beside the young mother lay a
long letter to her husband. "Don't
think me cruel to the little life I've
made," she wrote, "but rather that

"Don't mourn fbr me. I wish I
could go on with just you and our
love. My very life is one continuous
thought ot thankfusness for it, but
my mind must be "relieved. The
tension is frightful." r
Evidently there was a moment
when the young mother yearned to
pare her daughter, for farther down
she wrote: .
"If I leave our baby, :tetl her I
kissed her with lots of love and I am
wrry ever to have been cross to her,
"Leave my locket on me, but wear

LETTER FROM ABROAD.
Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
that;
Hobsoh's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
"This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON.

an absolute guarantee. If it does not effect a
cure yo get your money back.

- June 3, 1910.
This is my first day out at sea. 1
slept well last night; have not been
well today but keep up and have eat
en my meals. It is very cold. The
sun was out this uicrning, but it is
cloudy. I have been so quiet today
that I have met very few.
June 4. This is a terrible day;
high; winds; rained this morning.
Every one is sick. I am trying to
hold- up my bead, but it is bard. The
wind is a warm one. We have seen
several ships. We have five doctors
on board. There is plenty of good
music.
Sunday, 5th, was a blank day with
me. I was in bed all day. Fvery
one on board was sick. The winds
were terribly high, and- the spray
came in so one could not sit on deck.
Monday, 6 th. I am out on deck
in my chair, but have to be quiet.
I have a fine room with plenty of air,
so do not have to come out unless I
feel like it. I sleep" a great deal.
Everybody on board seems so nice.
Tuesday, June 7. A fine day. I
think every one is well. The sea is
as smooth as can be, the sun bright
and warm. I have met a lot of peo
ple. There is one lady from Chicago
I. like so much. - The service is ideal,
and meals grand everything you
could ask for. Time goes you know
not how ; r where. We have five
meals a day, three in dining room
and two lunches on deck: it is over
3,000 miles across. We are supposed
to make 300 or more a day. but- it
has been so rough they say we will
lose a day. We have lots of fruit
cherries, pears, apples, bananas, or
anges, grape fruit and dried figs;
plenty of raisins and nuts.
June 8. This is another fine day.
Yesterday was a perfect day. The
sea looked like glass. The sunset
was the most beautiful I ever saw. I
vvould be delighted for you and Clyde
to be with me. Tell Miss Itte I have
thought of ber so often, as she likes
i be Sea so. Nothing new; every day
just the same, except one meets some
new! people. 1 have seen only one
bird. This would be a bad place to
get homesick. There i3 to be a dance
tonight. Cards and shuffieboard
(something like golf) are the games.
Eat, sleep and talk is what we do.
June 9. Another day has begun.
The wind is high. The mist is com
ing. in my face as I write. It Is
been so long since we saw anything.
vv e will see Spain and Africa this
morning; land at Gibraltar about
noon. 1 will mail this there and
write again between there and Na
ples, where we will land Thursday.
I will be both glad and Borry for this
sea trip to end. It certainly has
been enjoyable, although quiet and

The elimination of graft, In the
judgment of Senator Oweu, of Okla
homa, 19 one of the moat important
Issues before the people of this, country.
The graft evil is, indeed, a pro
blem of tremendous importance, and
the? American people cannot set to
work too soon to find a solution of it.
The most prolific and the most de
moralizing source of graft in thi9
country id the protective tariff sys
tem as embodied in the Aldrich
Payae act and the tariff legislation
which preceded It the Dlngley law.
The latter became operative in 1897,
and felnce that time the special inter
ests nave been licensed to prey upon
the consumers. In return for the
enormous graft which they derived
from, this privilege they have been
generous contributors to the cam
paign fund of the Republican party.
Thus there is a double system of
graft; The Republican party "fries
the fat" out of the beneficiaries of the
tariff and the latter "fry the fat"
out -of the consumers. Naturally
this gigantic scheme of grafting has
had 4 demoralizing effect upon other
national activities. It is an easy and
logical step from the tariff graft to
the despoliation of the public lands
from the grant of tariff bounty to
special interests to a "liberal policy"
in disposing of coal lands and water
Bites. If the American people are
ever to eliminate graft from the
national Government, they will be
gin Vlth the tariff. They will drive
the 'special interests and the trusts
out offcarticipation in national poli
tics. They will drive the friends and
agents of the trusts and privileged in
terests out of Congress. ' As long as
the selfish - and greedy influences
which shape the tariff policy of the
Government remain In control pf the

ment the people are entitled to clean,

They can have this kind of tfovern-
meat if they are determined that the
administration of public affairs shall
be conducted only by men of integri

Machine politics is at the bottom of
m )St of the dishonesty and corrup

State administration. The govern
ment of Pennsylvania has been con
trolled for many years by tbe Repub

scandalous degree. The Tammany

"The service that followed was In

rhymes of salvation set to what may
be described as lightly-spinning,
dicky-bird music. Anybody could
sing them, and everybody did, and
the more they sang the more cheerful
they looked, but not repentant. The
service was composed mostly of these
songs, Interspersed now and then
with wildly excruciating exhorta
tions from Brother Dunn to repent
and believe. He explained, with an
occasional ha! ba! bow easy it waa to
do, and there la no denying that the
altar was filled with confused young
people, who knelt and hid their-eyea
and behaved with singular reverence
under the circun stances.
"The cheating began when Brother
Dunn attempted to make them
'claim tbe blessing.' He induced
half a dozen young girls and two or
three youths to stand up and testify
that their sins had been forgiven,
simpie young creatures wno nad no
more sense of tbe nature of sin or
depth of genuine repentance than

But that was the beginning of the

He said Dunn said my lack of spir

Washington, June 29. Commis
sioner Cabell, of the Internal Reve
nue Bureau, recently gave orders
dispatching eight agents to Oklaho
ma! Tennessee and North Carolina to
assist In enforcing the laws against
illicit distilling. Reports received at
the bureau show the great extent to
which the business has developed in
those States of the South and South
west, which local prohibition laws
have relegated to "dry" territory.
Mr. Cabell says there ia more illicit
distilling now than ever known in
tbe "dry" States. The field force
has been Increased to the limit of the
appropriation. Roundups of "moon
shine" ' outfits are frequent, and a
count kept recently showed that five
agents or deputies had been shot In

Tbe Government officials labor un
der considerable difficulty In making
arrests because of the indifference of
the people In the localities affected to
act in tbe capacity of Informers or to
give practical assistance In capturing
the persons engaged in the illicit
business.
