SUPERFLUOUS CASH.
BY E. e. GARRETT.

Upon the breakfast tables of the
town that morning the early PAGERS
had their everyday fold and suffered
the usual Indifferent glances: but
with the crisp rattle of the opening
sheets came startled exclamation and
coffee and steak at many tables grew
cold. Neale and Company had failed
For Neale himself the readers did not
concern themselves; he had many irons
in the fire and the falling of one was
a bagatelle, but Company was a
different story. Phil Graham's all was
vested in that title, and the town loved
Phil. Moreover, the town had adj
vised him as to the unlucky venture,
so responsibility weighted it's sympa-
thy.
Something must be done' said
Maj. Anderson, taking a gulp from
his chilled cup.
But what?" asked pretty Nell.
Then there was pause, with family
of wrinkled brows.
'You see.'' said Miss Benton, who
was the majors ward. there is moth
ing a man, is more fastidious about
than the way he is helped"
The Andersons all looked at her and
then took demurely to their break
fasts. They had suddenly recalled the
fact that this subject was of more i'm
portance to her than to anyone else
except Company himself, and they
found comfort in the thought of her
income
True" and the major smiled as he
Endorsed her remark, and the greater
his need the more pigheaded Phil will

daintily.
"Yes?' The major bent his hand
some gray head in gracious difference.
Il should let him alone"
oh said Nell, aghast, mot even
sympathize?"
Doesn't sympathy in such a case
carry a bit of humiliation? AS if one
were not equal to emergencies
The major laughed. "Of course"
he said, "a young lady with three
thousand a year in her own right
knows about the way to fight emer-
gencies. -
At tlilS punt ilOle came III LOT MISS
Benton, which she excused herself to
read. She grew white over it. The
Andersons after furtive glance apiece
kept their eyes politely to their plates
and talked as fast as possible on for
eign subjects. All stood up finally with
breaths of relief. Miss Benton follow
ed the Major to his study and closed
the door after her.
Il knew his courage" she said, alb
ruptly, but I forgot the weak side of
his pride
"Ah,'' said the Major, gently putting
her into a chair, che releases your"

CHAFED BY THE BONDS.
Unhappy Couples Seek Dissolution
of the Marital Relation.

of the Marital Relation.
Yesterday was return day for the De-
cen1ber term of the Superior, Court and
the usual number of petitions for total
divorce were filed. In almost all of the
cases the desertion of the plaintiff by
the defendant is the ground. or one of
the grounds, upon which the applica.
ton for divorce is based.
Kinney Hodges, who was married to
Spencer Hodges on Feb. IA, 1901. COM
plains to the court that constantly
since that time he has cursed, abused
kicked and otherwise ill-treated her,
and that his cruelty has been of a
type so vicious and even ferocious that
it was UNDESIRABLE. On Feb. 20 of the
present year. he kicked her out of the
house in which the couple then lived,
and they have not lived together since
that time. She asks a total divorce.
Mrs. Annie Finley wants a total di-
vorce from William Finley, to whom
she was married on Nov. IA, 1898. She
alleges in her petition to the court,
that subsequent to her marriage her
husband was tired and convicted of
a felony and sent to the penitentiary,
where he is now serving a term. Fin
ley was a soldier who drifted into Sa-
vannah with one of the volunteer reg
iments that were encamped about the
city during the Spanish American war.
The glamour of romance that seems
to surround a uniform was sufficient
to win the heart of the very resoecta-
bic young woman whom he married,
and 1t was not until he had stolen a
bicycle, been caught in the act, tried.
convicted and sentenced, that she real
lied the mistake she had made.
Lula Vereen seeks a divorce from
James Vereen, on the ground OF deser-
ton; March Houstoun wants a di-
vorce from Polly Houstoun, and Elsie
Williams a divorce from Hardy Will
Hams, on the same ground. Jennie
M. Zaze complains 60 the court that
her husband, Charles II. Zaze has not
only treated her with incorporate cru
city. but that he is an habitual drunk
ard, and on these grounds. asks that
divorce be granted her.

SUMTER'S FINE, EXHIBIT.
MckinIey's Likeness Engraved on
Preserved Watermelon Kinds.


Among the county exhibits which
the committee on awards will be call
ed upon to pass upon to-day is that
of Sumter county. Whether Sumter
will come out on top cannot be told
but she is undoubtedly in the prize
winning class. She has a complete and
very solid looking exhibit filled with
the good things which are produced
upon the lands of successful Georgia
farmers. Mr.. James i. Montgomery
is in charge with Mr.. ]. F. Ross and
Mrs. M. ]. Rutherford. Nearly all OF
this very handsome exhibit was pro-
duced upon the farm of Mr.. Ross and
the very complete display of preserved
and canned goods and other household
articles is largely the work Of his niece,
Mrs. Rutherford.

Paine celery compound has ac-
quired its tremendous reputation FOR
making people well by direct per-
sonal testimony from men and women
who have used it, No testimonial has
ever been published for this great
remedy that could not be easily veri-
fed at first hand by any one at all in
terested. Nothing has ever been
claimed for Paine's celery compound
that it has not accomplished in hun
dreds Of cases
For the guidance OF thoughtful peo-
pie who recognize the need Of purify
ing the blood and regulating the nerves
in the spring, the following letter to
the proprietors of Paine's celery com
pound from Secretary of State Berg
of Minneapolis will be of the utmost
value in determining upon a trust
worthy spring remedy:
st. Paul. Mimi. Jan 4, 1901.
Dear Sirs:
One can show no greater faith than
by taking a remedy for ones health.
No better testimonial of excellence can
be offered than the recommendation
Of that remedy to ones friends. I
have taken Paine's celery compound
myself, and as a result heartily com
mend it to others

No remedy but Paine's celery COM
pound has ever been recommended
by so conspicuOusly fair-minded a
body of men and women It occupies
a clear field among men of sound
judgment in the cure of diseases aris-
ing from a tired or otherwise i'm
paired nervous system.
There is no help so sure and so i'm
mediate as one gets from the use of
Paine's celery compound. Detailed
information Of innumerable cases Of
rheumatism. neuralgia and dyspep-
STA. completely cured, has established
this great invigorator as the most
valuable remedy those run down in
health can make use of.
Paine's celery compound frees the
body of vicious humors that have ac-
cumulated during the winter. and are
the cause of kidney and liver COM
plants. Only a great remedy based
on profound knowledge of these dis
eases could do the work that Paine's
celery compound is now doing.
Better nutrition for the nerves, an
awakened appetite. purified blood
and complete ASSN ilation of the food
these follow the faithful use of
Paine's celery compound as surely as
day follows night.
