Tornado Does Much Damage.

Adrian, MINI: June l. "A tornado
swept through Adrian while the in
habitants were still asleep early today.
Thousands of dollars worth Of prop
erty were destroyed. No lives were
lost. Five moderate sized stores
we're demolished. One residence
was wrecked, another was turned
completely over, and several barns
and outbuildings were wrecked. The
telephone and telephone poles are
destroyed over 8 large area. The
path of the storm was nearly 5000
feet wide, but fortunately it only
touched ct few points.

A Gloomy Picture.

The following from the Eidorado
(Kas) Republican, Republican Pa
per, does not read like a prosperity
argument:
When the cold wave comes-and
it will come; when financial distress
hits every business man in the land
and it will hit; when the seven lean
kline are turned loose-and they will
be turned-all the blooming idiots
who have blown their millions and
billions into those balloon trusts will
be annihiliated IS quickly as doll pa
per house in Texas tornedc; while
the distress to be brought upon the
cause-if not revolution-some- e.
thing very nearly approaching one.
Judgment day will come to all these
billion dollar hot air schemes and it
will come with force and power
that will shake the financial world
from end to end; and the fortunes
that will be swallowed up will be
counted by billions. We have had
panics before, but oil of them com
bined will not be a patching COM
pared to the one that is bound to fol-
low this criminal initiation of every
thing on earth; and it will call out
all the cold storage patriotism in the
country to save it from destruction.

Egyptian Cotton for a Georgia Mill.
Augusta Evening Herald.

Augusta Evening Herald.
That is a very interesting telegram
that is printed from Columbus-in-
teresting to US here in Georgia. 1t
is announced that the Bibb Manufac-
turing Company has received the in
voice of the first shipment of Egyp-
tian cotton to be used in their Colum-
bus mill.
The Bibb mill, it is further stated,
will only use Egyptian and American
long staple cotton. It will hence
buy none Of its cotton in the local
market. The mill will make yarns
only and only the higher numbers,
from 80 to 120. The company has
received good-sized order from the
government for twire which will be
made in the Columbus mill. Ma
chinery is now being received at the
mill, which will be in operation by
September l. So they did not bring
the cotton mill to the cotton field.

as passed by Congress, recommend
ing that it be accepted and made an
appendix to the constitution.
The news of the adoption of the
Platt amendment by the Cuban con-
stitutional convention was received
with genuine qualification in Wash
ington. The administration officials
all along have felt confident that it's
ratification would be accomplished
when the Cubans realized that this
government was firm in its attitude
regarding the amendment and that
it's acceptance would be necessary
before the United States would con-
sent to withdraw it's supervision from
the island. Now that the Cubans
have demonstrated their good faith
in the United States it is expected
that a fairly speedy evacuation Of
the island will follow, contingent only
upon the establishment of stable
government in the island. An effec-
tive police force and other measures
necessary to the preservation OF quiet,
good order and sanitation are con-
sidered as essential prerequisites in
the reformation of the new govern
ment and the withdrawal of the
United States forces. One cabinet
officer tonight expressed the opinion
that if the other requirements are
met our withdrawal might be accom-
plished during the summer so that
Cuban independence might be areal.

In Mem0riam.

Another happy home has been Wis
tied by the Angel of Death, and
bereft of that ore whose place can
never be filed. There is now a va
cant chair whose occupant was The
embodiment of love and devotion to
her family and friends and whose life
was spent in acts of benevolence and
words of comfort and cheer to those
about her.
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Geiger, the below
ed mother, the Christian exemplar and
beacon light of a large family, is no
more. The tie that bound her to this
earthly sphere has been broken ard
bar angel spirit has crossed over the
river and winged its fight TO meet
with loved ones on the other side.
Though irreparable her loss and
deep the grief that crushes cur
hearts, We sorrow not as those who
have no hope, for we know that SIZE
is not dead but transformed from a life
of probation to one of perfect bliss,
where the flowers bloom forever and
the weary are at rest.
She was born at Sandy Run, S. c.,
on the 18th of February, 1880, and
departed this life at Cedar Grove,
her winter residence near the Conga-
rec, on the morning of May 22nd,
1901. She was the daughter Of the
late Joseph Archibald and Mrs.
Caroline A. Wolfe, and lived to be
the oldest surviving member of their
large family.
In the beautiful bloom Of early
womsnhood she was happily married
to Captain Abram ". Geiger, for
many years well known and suc-
cassful planter, and who preceded ber

She remembered her creator in the
days of her youth and at an early
age attached herself to the Metho-

which she remained faithful and
consistent member to the end.
AS the scent of the roses will hang round

So the waters Of Lethe can never erase
The fond men, 'ries, which as burning

Many friends will long cherish her memory
well,
And in fond recollection the years will
recall,
When her sweet name, like music. threw
round it spell,
And her smile, like halo of brightness
did fall.
She was descended from one of
the oldest, most wealthy and infuen-
tial families in Lexington county and,
indeed, her ancestors, who were
German and English, were among
the first settlers-the pioneers Of this
country, some of whom were actively
engaged in the American Revolution
and who helped to gain the indepen-
dence of this great Republic. On the
maternal side coursed through her
veins the blood of South Cardinals
greatest daughter, the youthful hero
inc Emily Geiger. Her husband, also,
was an heir to this proud heritage.

Sufferers from this horrible rlalady

from the parents, but may be from some

Playing For Keeps.


I have observed in the larger game

playing for keeps" and only a few for
fun and that those who are playing
for keeps are the boys with the most
influence and standing in the com.
munity. 1 know a whole lot Of boys.
some Of them living in Massachusetts,
today. who are playing for keeps, but
instead of marbles they are using
wheat or corn or railroad stocks. No
one of them knows just whom he is
playing against. but each knows that
for each dollar he wins dollar Is lost
by some one else.
Nevertheless am old fogy enough to
say that for myself / do not regret my
early training. nor am l ready to leave
behind it's principles. but as long as
the majority of parents wish their
boys to be successful it seems to me
you ought to make it clear that play
ing marbles for keeps is an excellent
way of drilling boys in that acquisi-
tiveness which will make it possible
for them in after years to provide their
