Autoist and Bicyclist Engage in De bate as to Right of Way. ( Newborn Journal.) Sunday afternoon a gentleman who owns an automobile and anofner who rides a bicycle created quite a bit ot ssciienient on Hancock street when :hey became engaged in an argu ment as to which cne was on tus proper side of the street. It happened in t-is way: The auto mobilist was coming down town from the depot and owing to the fact that a parsing train had blocked the cross ing at Queen and Hancock streets, he had taken the left hand side ot" tr street. At a corner farther down thsj bicycle rider turned into Hancock street from one of the intersections and he also kept to the right. When within a few feet of each other the bicycle rider and the automobilist came to a stop. Folio wing this the argument start ed. The bicycle rider contended that the automobilist was on the wrong side of the street while the latter con tended that there was room enough for the bicyclist to get by his ma chine. The result of the affair was that both decided to hold their ground until the other gave in and it is pos sible that they would have been there yet had not Policeman Ilowe appear ed on the scene and ordered them to move on. ENVIOUS! SCHOLAR IN POLITICS. Palmetto Claimers Disputing Honors With the Youngest cf Tar Heel Counties. (Rock Hill Herald.) Avery county, North Carolina, comes forward to claim the originals of Mutt and Jeff, which is character istic of Noith Carolinians, Era they are the champion claimers. As a matter cl fact it is believed, on good author ity, that of one of the gentlemen of the famous pair, that Rock Hill hao the original Mutt and Jeff team. These gentlemen are much handsom er than the pictures made by Bud Fisher, but Bud is responsible tor the pictures and the Honorables John Porter Ilollis and W. J. Roddey are not. Mr. Roddey is the man who sug geiiis Mutt and Jeff in this connec tion, aiid the public has accepted it merely r.s additional evidence of his discriminating judgment and keen sense of humor.

The Panama-Pacific seal the seal of the San Francisco Exposition o 1315, was designed by Alfred Lenz. Columbia stands upon a globe above the severed Isthmus with an olivo branch in one hand and a shovel in the other. Encircling the seal, reach ing from the globe, on which Colum bia stands, are the words: "San Francisco-Panama Pacific International Exposition, 1915." Spartanburg Not Unlikely to Invade Wofford Faculty For New Chief Ex ecutive. (Spartanburg Journal.) Dr. D. D. Wallace, professor of his tory and economics in Wofford Col lege, is one of the most likely men to be called upon by a mass meeting of the citizens to select a man to of fer himself for the office of mayor at the approaching election. Said one of the men interested in this meeting "Br. Wallace is peculiarly fitted for the office," said this gentleman, "in that he is a student of politics and one who is not entangled in affilia tions with concerns which are a prey upon a city government. "Dr. Wal lace," he continued, "is a man who has strong convictions in the moral uplift of the city and one who has the backbone to stand for that which is right regardle of who it hurts." "Dr. Wallace," continued the speaker, "showed the grit in his giz zard, when he took the stump on his own initiative and worked in the in terest of the law and order candi date for governor in the camapign of 1912. Not only in this instance, but Dr. Wallace has identified himself in the fight for a better city. Dr. Wal lace appeals to the man vho is strong for the enforcement of the laws, and those who are promoting his candidacy are doing so with the belief that with Dr. Wallace at the helm will grow in everything that tends to promote." Another Wofford professor, C. B. Waller, of chemistry and biology, is also mentioned as a commissioner possibility. Washington, .Tune 20. According to the official figures of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, De partment of Commerce, the total value of the shipments from the United states to all its noncontiguous territor ies (including in this term Alaski, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippine Is lands, Guam, and Tutuila) is, for the ten months ended with April, 1913, $V)0,1S6,0G3, against $S5,970,947 in the corresponding months of last year; while the value of the shipments to the United States from the noncontigu ous territories in the ten months end ed with April, 1913, amounted to $104, 315,809, against $112,062,150 in the same months of last year. From these figures it is estimated that shipments from the United States to its noncon tiguous territories will show a larger total in 1913 than ever before, aggre gating approximately 110 million dol lars, against 10G million in 1912, S3 million in 1910, and CG 3-4 million in 1903: also that shipments from the non contiguous territories to the United Stales will show a slightly lower total in 1913 than in 1912, the high-record year, or approximately 135 million dol lars, against 143 million in 1912, 10S million in 1910, and 59 million in 1903. Thus the shipments from the noncon tiguous territories to the United States have a little more than doubled in the last 10 years, while shipments from the United States to the territories in question trebled i nthe same period. The fall in 1913 of about 8 million dollars in the value of merchandise shipped from the noncontiguous terri tories to the United States is due in part to a reduction in the quantity of sugar shiped from Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands, and also to a reduction in the price of the sug ar thus shipped. The quantity of sugar shipped from the Philippine Is lands to the United States in the 10 months ended with April, 1913, was but 1S9 million pounds, valued at 4 1-4 million dollars, against 347 million pounds, valued at S 3-4 million dollars, in the same months of last year, the average price having been in 1912, 2.52 cents per pound, and in 1913, 2.25 cents per pound. From the Hawaiian Is lands the shipments in the 10 months ended with April, 1913, amounted to 817 million pounds, valued at 28 mill ion dollars, against 900 million pounds, valued at 3S million dollars, in the same months of last year, the aver age price per pound on the unrefined having been in 1912, 4.22 cents, and in 1913, 3.44 cents. From Porto Rico the shipments amounted to 484 million pounds, valued at 17 1-3 million dol lars, against 4SS million pounds, valued at 21 1-2 million dollars, in the same months of last year, the average price having been in the 10 months of 1912, 4.40 cents, and in 1913, 3.58 cents per pound. While this reduction in the quantity and price per pound of sugar sent from the islands has resulted in a de crease of the total value of their ship ments to the United States, they have meantime slightly increased their pur chases of our productions. The ship ments of merchandise from the United States to the Philippine Islands in the 10 months ended with April, 1913, show a gain of about 1 1-2 million dol lars over the corresponding months of last year, and those to Hawaii a gain of 5 million, while those to Porto Rico show a decrease of about 4 milion, show a decrease of 4 million, making total shipments to the three islands in the 10 months ended with April, 1913, $74,124,000 against $71,685,000 in the same months of last year. To Alaska the shipments in the 10 months ended with April, 1913, were practically 18 million dollars, against 14 1-4 million in the same months of last year, and the shipments from Alaska to the Uni ted States were practically 23 million dollars, against 20 1-3 million in the same months of last year. Ti.q Perfect Baby 6fTh Fufyre A Simple Method That Has a Wonderful Influence upon The Future Infant Too much cannot be said for a wonderful remedy, familiar to many women as Moth er s j? riena. It is more eloquent in its action than all the health rules ever laid down for the guidance of expectant mothers. It is an external application that spreads its influ ence upon all the eords. muscles, liga ments and tendons that nature calls into play; they expand without pain, without strain. Mother's Friend must, therefore, be con sidered as a direct influence upon the char acter and disposition of the future genera tion. It is a conceded fact that, with nau sea, pain, nervousness and dread banished, there is stored up such an abundance of healthy energy as to bring into beingtha highest ideals of those who fondly theorize on the rules that insure the coming of the perfect baby. Mother's Friend can be had of any drug fist at $1.00 a bottle. It is prepared by Bradfield Regulator Co., 230 Lamar Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. Write them for an instruct ive book to expectant mothers.
