FoUNTs HAVE RUSHING TRADE
Thirsty Ones Camped Inside the
DRUGSTORE.

By far the busiest man in Americas
yesterday was the gentlemanly dis
penser of liquid refreshments, other
wise the soda jerker. The five drug :
stores having handsome soda fount-
aims looked after the thirsty ones and
all were literally patronized. The de
mand for coca colas. phosphates, sher-
ry and fruit freezes was unpreoedent
ed, though others took regulation soda
water in liberal quantities. 1t was the
busiest day of summer with the soda
founts and with the mercury at 1902, the
point touched at 2 p. m. this fact
caused lite surprise.

CROP BRINGS A PRETTY PENNY
Farmers Realize $4,000 From Sale Of
Wool

The farmers of Sumter do not raise
sheep for the wool as they formerly
did, while quarter of mutton is as
much an unknown quantity in the
Americus market as is quarter of ele-
plant But down in Colquitt county,
just below us, the farmers stick to
sheep and find it profitable business.
A day or to ago an Albany wood dealer
went to Triton and bought one lot of
so, 900 pounds, paying a fraction less
than 10 OTIS. per pound for it. The
sale netted the farmers $500 cash,
while another lot of $1,000 pounds
brought similar price or a total OF
$12, $50. This is almost (?l as good as
raising cotton.

THE WOMAN AT HOME.
rIer influence Ia the Chief and Es-
sentin1 Thing in Making Family
Life Perfect.

There is no Place where the graces of
true womankind shine out more con-
spicuously than in the common daily
intercourse of the family. Patience,
gentleness, tender sympathy, love and
forbearance here come into play with
a force and influence felt in no other
place. Here those virtues, which have
their source in the Divine nature, find
their most congenial atmosphere. Let
them be lacking, or any of them, and
the harmony is broken, and peace and
JOY depart. 1t is not t o be understood
that the happiness of the family re-
lation does not also depend in large
measure upon the character of the hus-
band and the father, but we insist
only that the influence of the wife and
mother here is the chief and most es-
sential thing. The home is, primarily
what she makes it. 1t is her domain,
her throne of power. If she chooses
to neglect her duties at the behest of
society, or because of other outside in
terests, the home suffers from her abb
sence, and the family loses all that
charm and brightness which her pres
ence should infuse. There is danger,
we apprehend, in these days of prog
ress and reform" particularly in the
matter of "woman's rights" of under
valuing the influence and character of
the family life. 1t is somet times talked
of as a matter of small consequence in
comparison with that so-cal.ed wider
sphere outside of home duties, to which
many are inspiring. But let the
truth be emphasized, that the mothers
of to-day hold the levers of the worlds
tomorrow. Let impurity, discord and
dissension enter the homes of the
people, let the family life be corrupted,
and disease and death will fasten itself
upon the vitals of the republic, and its
days will be numbered. Domestic hap
piness underlies national strength and
prosperity. and the nearer we approach
to the ideal home the less we shall have
to fear for the future. - Leslie's

ANONYMOUS VALENTINES.
Fact Tint the Sender In
Unknown.

St. Valentine, long the patron saint
of courtship, has come in our day to
belong almost as wholly to children as
does our good old friend, St. Nicholas.
The paper lace and tinsel, the gayly
printed loves and doves and roses of
ready-made valentines make pretty
playthings, and signify suitable ex-
change of childish attentions; but they
are quite beneath the dignity of young
folk old enough to take themselves
seriously as lovers.
Indeed, the counting quality has
quite vanished from the day. which
used-as readers of Scott's Fair Maid
of Perth" will remember-to be very
important one to maids and bachelors
of long ago. Most of the customs at
tendant on its old observance have per-
ished also. But the opportunity for an
anonymous gift remains; and whether
it is to be given to lad or lass, little
or big, whether it is token of friend
ship or an offering of sentiment, the
custom is a pretty and graceful one,
and a pleasing survival from times
gone by.
Christmas and birthday gifts are
delightful because we do know the
givers, but the charm of a valentine
lies in the very fact that we do not.
It is interesting to guess, agreeable to
discover, exciting to have the mystery

He opened the last and largest parcel

"Take care, Cephas, it'll be into the

and figure, and, in America, was the
favorite of the three sisters.
Great teachers, such as Manouery.
Julans and Fugure, accord warm and
earnest praise TO the young American.
Manouery says: Miss Abbott is the
best Juhette / have ever heard. More
over. with the exception of Patti, she
is the only prima donna who has ever
been able to render the part as written
in the original score. That is to say,
Miss Abbott sang the score of Juliette
in G, which requires her o put her full
voice on high ID, the attack of which
was abs olutely perfect. 1t should be
remembered that neither Meiba nor
Eames ever attempted to sing the score
of Ju.iette in G, but did so in +, full
tone lower than Miss Abbott sang it,"
Pierre Gailhard, the director of the
opera, states: "In my opinion Miss Bes-
sic Abbott is the most perfect Juliette
that has ever sung in Paris, ana in
saying this | do not even except Patti.
Miss Abbott's compass is most remark
able. ranging from B below the line to
q above the line, or high e."
After Miss Abbott completed the first
phrase of the score of Juliette at the
opera Gailhard ran up to her and
kissed her on the cheek and exclaimed: /:
MY dear child, your triumph is as
sured."
Miss Abbott replied: "Why, l have
scarcely begun to sing yet" Gailhard
rAf in hnp ha Of
the public, and you are a success now,
no matter what you may do"
After the performance Gen. Porter,
the ambas assador, wrote her note stat
ing that it was the most remarka bic
debut he had even attended. Among
those who expressed themselves most
enthusiastically and most unequivo-
cally in admiration of Miss Abbott's
voice is James Gordon Bennett, who
is of disposition not easily moved
by music, but who has surprised his
friends by his keen, accurate and
eager praise of the young American
singer.

persuaded her to give up ballad sing

Miss Abbott says her success is due
to her teaching under Nine. Freda Ash

Capoul gave her lessons in stage

NEW AMERICAN SINGER.
French Critics Say Tint Bessie Abbott
Piclsens surpnsses the Im-
mortal Patti.

Bessie Abbott, the American vaude-
vile actress who left the stage four
years ago to study for the opera on the
advice of Jean de Reszke, has just made
her debut as a grand opera star in
Paris, and has created great COM
motion in music circles there. Her
Juiiette is described as the most per-
feet ever sung in Paris, not excepting
even Patti. The critics are unequivocal
in their praise, and the success of the
former vaudeville actress in grand op-
era is assured. Miss Abbott is a
member of the Pickens family, of South
Carolina. She went on the stage seven
years ago as one of the three abbott
sisters" and for three years sang II
Don't Want to Play in Your Yard" and
other popular songs, which were first
sung by her. She has beautiful face
