The fluid entered the room III which
Keene was sitting by the stove, smash
ing 1t to pieces, and thence passed
through his body. tearing the shoe and
stocking from his left foot and splitting
the heel to the bones. He was render
ed unconscious for a short time, but
soon recovered and feels no i'll effects

Two Greenville girls, Stella Red
mond and Mary Ross, both about Il

lovely for anything aud so sweetly re-
mantle to die together, by taking lauda-
mum. They got the drug and went 10
the home Of the Redmond girl, who
took the first dose and the other young
thing was to follow suit. But she
didn't When she saw the effect OF the
medicine on her friend she ran for the

property left by Alexander Montgcm-
cry, who died it is supposed about 1920,

We're selling Bed Room Suits
at Before Advance" Prices.


The increased cost of materials used
in the manufacturing of Bed Room Suits
of course raised the cost to the makers.
They had to advance prices, and natur-
ally caused many retailers to advance
prices. Perhaps we should have raised
our prices, but not while the car load
we received last week lasts.
We always buy our Bed Room Suits
in car loads, because we buy them
cheaper. Price them to you the same
way.
Ordered this car load three months
ago. Only got it last week. Bought it
before the advance in prices; that's why
we can sell them at last years prices.

The Pan-American Exposition.

The Board of Directors of the Pan
American Exposition Company have
agreed that the coming Exposition shall
be located at the Rumsey Farm on the
Niagara frontier in the northern suburbs
of the city Of Buffalo, and include @
part of Delaware Park. Three experts
including an architect and landscape
artist made the selection. The
proximity Of the Rumsey site to bean
tiful park and its accessibility are al
points in favor of this location. The
approach is through some of the most
attractive residential districts of the
city, and the whole area is within foul
miles of the City Hall. Arrangements
for preparing the site for the Exhibition
purposes will be begun at once.

EDITOR lNTEl.LltiENCEE: 1t has been
said that farmers know their business,
and so far as ploughing and hocing is
concerned they may. but is that all, or
is that sufficient The man with one
ounce OF brain would say no. 1t seems
that the farmers have gone wild, and
nothing can turn them. Poor fools.
work, staryc and sweat the Spring and
Summer months through to land in the
penitcntiary OF chaingang for debt
when Fall comes. [ believe it this
state OF affairs continues the poor
house will have to be greatly enlarged.
the penitentialy will overflow. and
those who arc fortunate enough to cs-
cape will have good roads to travel. /
know OF industrious men who were
cast into prison last fall for debt. /
know of men who will not make the
rent they promised this year. Now,
what arc they going to do! don't
know, unless they leave their wives
and children and 20 and serve out
what their term will be in the chain
gang to be ready to start another crop
when Spring comes. They say it is
the cotton famine, and | think so my
self, but what caused the famine,
drought No; it is the very worst
famine that has ever befcll the human
racc-ignOrancc and why arc VIC such
fools? If cotton was the only plant we
could raise we would have ground to
be excused, but where arc our grounds
I.hcar men talk about the buyer and
the manufacturer, and say sharp things
when they had no bright to. If anybody
were to offer us Il fortune we would be
fools for not taking it. We hold out
a fortune for them and say sharp things
because they take it. Now. dear
friends. why not have 10 cents for our
cottono Those buyers and manllfac
turers arc not thieves and liars, who
mean nothing but to cheat, as many OF
the light-headcd farmers think. They
see tho fortune and have nothing to do
butpicll it up. Nov let MS think about
what we arc doing. East Of the Mis-
sissippi the dry weather is general, and
west of it there have been floods. Now
why sell your cotton for 5 cents when
you can get double that. Let us awake
to q realization of our folly. Ihcard an
experienced man not long ago say that
if cotton were 81 per pound he would
raise his hog and hOminy 1T home.
Now, why not all do that, and VIC could
sell our cotton at better price, but ii
we did not get but q cents per pound
we would be i'll q real good fix.
Yours truly,
IRA l.. FREEMAN.
