was ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Americas Negro Nabbed By Sheriff
Yesterday.

When William Wilson appeared at
the store of the Hamilton Company
yesterday morning and presented a
cash order for $11 Sc, bearing the bo-
gus signature of former Mayor James
A. Hixon, the manager detected the
oder of large rodent, along with va
rious other pungent smells.
And naturally he hesitated about
handing over the needful.
The general style of writing and
very wretched spelling was calculated
to reflect severely upon Judge Hixon's
school record, and would have made a
modern schooIboy have spasm.
Mr.. Hamilton took occasion to 90
out for a moment, and when he re-
turned Sheriff Bell came with him,
When Sheriff Bell went out moment
later Monsieur Wilson went with him,
and the chances are that he Will re
main as his permanent guest.
The alleged forgery was very bold
one, and would scarcely haYe deciev-

stand, even. When Judge H1xon
writes checks they are upon the Plant
ers Bank, and always go.

An Ingenious Treatment by Which Drunk
ards Are Being Cured Daily in
Spite of Themselves.
No NOxiOus Doses. No Weakening of The
Nerves. A Pleasant and Positive
Cure for the Liquor Habit,

It is generally known and understood
that Drunkenness is disease and not
weakness. A body filed with poison,
and nerves completely shattered by peri
Odical or constant use of Intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of

and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
''HOME GOLD CURE" which has
been perfected after many years of close
study and treatment of inebriates. The
fsithful use according to directions of
this wonderful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most obstinate
case, no matter how hard a drinker.
Our records show the marvellous trans
formation of thousands of Drunkards
into sober. industrious and upright men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUSBANDS,
CHILDREN CURE YOURFATHERS
This remedy is in no sense nostrum
but is specific for this disease only,
and is skillfuily devised and prepared
that it is thoroughly soluble and pleas
ant to the taste, so that it can be given
in a cup of tea or coffee without the
knowledge of the person taking il.
Thousands of Drunkards have cured
themselves with this priceless remedy,
and as many more have been cured and
made temperate men bv having the
"CURE" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge
in coffee or tea, and believe today that
they discontinued drinking of their own
free will. DO NOT WAIT. Do not be
deluded by apparent and misleading
improvement" Drive out the disease
at once and for all time. The "HOME
GOLD CURE" is sold at the extremely
low price of One Dollar, thus placing

BAPTIST SINGERS IN CONTEST.
Compete For Prizes in Singing Match
Here.


Here.
Saturday was great day with that
element of the colored people who do
the singing and who compose the
choirs of the Baptist clutches through
out Sumter and surrounding counties.
In pursuance to a call and the an
nual custom, between three and four
hundred people assem- bled in the city
hall as early as 10 o'clock yesterday
morning to engage in singing contest
for the prize of one dozen song books
to the choir that should win.
The choirs, under respective leaders
from Mt, Olive Baptist church, Ameri-
Gus; Spring Creek Baptist church at
Cobb; Zion Hope Baptist church and
others entered the contest under the
following rules:
Each choir to sing religious hymns
and anthems of their own selection, ,
and which they had practiced; time ten
to fifteen minutes.
In this way Lawrence @. Clark,
Henry Jones and p. l.. Walker, re
spective leaders of choirs above named,
rendered some very excellent music
and which ali good judges present
agree was correct in every scientific
and technical sense.
At o'clock recess for dinner was
called, when q sumptuous and elegant
feast was spread from the baskets of
those coming from different parts of
the county.
Every one present ate plentifully
of the delicacies.
These musical gatherings take place
each year and are productive of much
good. Only sacred music is used.
It must be sung correctly as it is
written, as all insist and can detect
any error at a glance. The social fea
lures, also, on such occasions are very
good, thus bringing together the good
people from all parts of the county.
On the second Sunday in Sept. the
committee will meet in this city to ar
range plans for another mammoth
meeting this day year to come.
