Early yesterday morning he made
a Statement incriminating Burnett
for the shooting and further saying
that Nichols was almost as much to
blame for whole thing. Late yesterday
afternoon, at about p. m., when told
that his life could not be saved he
had a notary public brought to the
side of his bed and in his presence
and that of Dr. C. C. Joyner, made
what may be called an
statement, which hardly varies from
the one he made In the morning.
Burnett and Bill Nichols
came into my store. Burnett
walked behind the counter, pick-
ed up a revolver, and without the
slightest provocation, shot me

house of Mrs. and was fol-

Advertising has always been, and

To what extent do go-ahead mer-

Not so many year ago the place
of women in public life was some-
thing unknown, except tor some
lated cases, which because of their
rarity, did not receive all the credit
really due them. Today the import-
of women helping In the
of problems and difficulties of
day life is Illustrated by such
facts as furnished by women being
called upon to act in the capacity of
experts. Witness the request by
President Roosevelt to Miss Helen
Boswell to go to the Panama Canal
Zone and study condition there,
that her suggestion might help the
government in bettering conditions,
both social and hygienic. In the fight
for pure food women again took an
active part and were an important
asset in having such a valuable meas-
put through. In fact whenever
any important innovation to be
made, women are consulted and their
advice bears weight in the resolution
made.
So far women's clubs have had to
bear the burden of expenses attached
to such a movement. And while It is
true that the Federated Women's
Clubs of America have a membership

Of course, in this country, the babe-

labor and as long as the foreign

Mr. Styron if he had a conversation

Rhodes replied that he guessed he was

later the disease was noticeable In

Pennsylvania and Maryland. By 1908
the United States Department of
Agriculture began issuing bulletins
on the subject to apprise the public
of the spread and to enable the own-
of chestnut trees to recognize the
disease If It appeared. Incidentally
the scientific staff tried to discover
a remedy. Foresters, and

but nothing availed.
By 1909 the disease had done no
less damage In the
three states of New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, according to the
estimate then made by the
