Many sidewalks on the main streets
IN Hickman are in bad condition and
are in urgent need OF repairs and the
council should force the property own
ers to build walks at once The city of
Fulton never had good sidewalks until
the past year. They served notices on
the owners time after time TO build
walks and their orders were ignored
and the past year the Mayor and
Council condemned their bad walks and
Advertised them and let them out to
the lowest bidder and the result was
surprising and Fulton witnessed
phenomenal increase of new walks, The
property owners Immediately began
building walks and now the entire city
has good walks. Hickman will never
have good walks until this method is
tried

There are lot of politicians and news

il was not right for any man 10 be COM
PEELED to pay for nomination, and now
they bitterly denOunce the idea Of ask
ing men all over the State to give a day
TO the service of their party without
pay. We are willing TO admit that il
no one was more patriotic than this
crowd OF bowling politicians and the
editors OF these newspapers, their con
tention would be true. But such is not
the case. We still maintain our origi
nal position that if properly managed,
there are enough patriotic Democrats in
each precinct in the State to hold the
primary without a cent of cost to the
candidates. 1t can be done in TrIgg
county, and we do not believe the Dem
ocrats here are and more patriotic than
they are in other parts of the State

THE WAY TO THEIR HEARTs.-There
was nothing lacking in the way of
rowdyism on the homeward bound
car from Bath Beach. All the boys
were on it, and made it perfectly ap-
parent to other passengers that the
conductor had nothing to do but col
lect fares, and that the motorman, big
as he was, had little concern in what
was going on behind him.
In the next to the front seat sat a
little, bent old woman, her white hair
plastered smooth beneath one Of those
curious little black silk bonnets that
are never seen in the shops, but which
old women seem to know where to find
She wrapped her shawl closer around
her frail figure as the rowdies became
noisier and roared at the conductor
when he made a feeble effort to STOP
them. Finally they started to sing g
shameless song. A man who was rid
ing home with his wife and two chill
dren stood up in the car and managed
to secure a moments attention.
"Oh, come lads" he pleaded; moi
before mother!"
The shot struck home. There was
order OH that car until the little ole
woman got off near the Brooklyn en-.
trance to the bridge.

COL. w. j. BOWEN.

Colonel w. J. Bowen was born about
five miles east Of Yorkville on Feb
ruary %, 1918, and at this writing is
aged IS years, months and 10 days.
Practically his whole life has been
spent in York county, and his career
has been that Of a useful, influential
and upright citizen.
There were no houses Of worship in
Yorkville at the time Of Colonel Bow
ems birth and infancy, and but few in
the country Immediately surrounding.
In those days the Presbyterians, who
were just beginning their efforts to or
ganize a congregation in Yorkville,
were conducting their services in the
old court house-the building that pre-
ceded the present structure. His moth
er became a member Of the church
there, and while still ain infant he was
baptized in the building. Later a
church was organized in the neighbor-

A SNAKE STORY.
Mon Who Coax tho venomous Rep
tiles to Bite Them.

N1en VINO Soa& tHo S0UoH1o0o noP-
tiles to Bite Them.
Men can become accustomed to
snake bite just as they. can become ac-
customed to anything else." said a man
who had spent much time in studying
the habits Of reptilian life, land in not
a few instances which have come un-
der my observation the snake bite has
really become not only pleasurable,
but kind of physical necessity. You
see, the poison Is stimulating. It works
like an opiate Of the kind adminis-
tered by persons who fall victims to
the pernicious habit Of using the nee
die, or Of taking the stuff internally.
I have known a number Of men who
would make snakes bite them every
day, and they simply couldn't get along
without it. Their energies would be-
gin to lag. They would feel drowsy
and lifeless. BY allowing a snake to
bite them they could relieve this condi-
ton. The poison would stimulate and
buoy up, having the same effect as
kinds Of dope has on persons addicted
to its use. OF course, they are careful
not to get an overdose Of poison, al
ways extracting enough of it to keep
down the dangerous consequences Of
the bite. Often men addicted to this
ugly practice are forced to tantalize
and goad the snake up to the point Of
desperation In order to make it bite.
But they will strike after awhile. It
Is an awful thing to even think
about, isn't It? But this world Is filled
with curious things and curious per-
sons, and among the wonders Of a
coarser kind is the man who takes
the snake fang 'hypo. New Orleans

hood in which he was born. He con-
nected himself with it, and has re-
mained church worker, at the pres
ent time holding the office Of elder.
During his boyhood days Colonel
Bowen was fortunate enough to secure
the advantage of good academic ed:
ucation. He attended school until he
was about eighteen years Of age, when
he set out to learn the mercantile bus
mess as a clerk. After clerking for
three years he became a partner In
the business.
Having a fondness for military dur
ing his early manhood, he Joined vol
unteer company at Ebenezer and
shortly afterward was appointed judge
advocate of the 46th South Carolina
regiment. He held that Office for four
years, and gave it up to accept a ma
jorship to which he had been elected
on a vote Of the regiment. Shortly az
ter this election he became lieutenant
colonel, by the drawing Of lots, and the
colonel resigning later he succeeded to
the title and command. While he was
colonel of the regiment he ran for the
office of tax collector Of York county,
and after serving four years declined
election.
Upon his election as tax collector,
Colonel Bowen located in Yorkville,
and upon retiring from the office he
engaged in the mercantile business
again. He failed, however. A consid-
erable portion Of his original capital
was borrowed; he sold goods on credit
and declined to use legal processes
even when they seemed necessary to
enforce collections. AS the result he
had to go into bankruptcy. After that
he engaged in teaching school, and IN
work of this kind provided for his fam
lily.
Upon the bombardment OF Fort
Sumter he volunteered his services to
the state, and reached Charleston with
his company on the evening OF the
surrender of Major Anderson. After
a few weeks in Charleston he was reg
ularly mustered into the service OF the
Confederacy, and went to Virginia IN
command Of Co. I Of the Fifth South
Carolina volunteers. He participated
in the first battle Of Manassas and
helped drive the Federals back on
Washington as a disorganized, panic
stricken mob. During that same year
he also participated in the battle or
Balls Bluff, where General Evans de-
feated some 100 Federals, driving
them into the Potomac and inf1icting
loss Of 1000 or more. The loss Of the
Confederates was only about $50. The
next year he followed General Johnson
to Richmond and in that city was TAX
en- down with rheumatism, on account
of which he was finally discharged
from the regular army. When he re-
covered sufficiently he became colo
mel Of reserves and was stationed at
Pocataligo until his regiment was dis
banded.
Since the war Colonel Bowen has
been engaged in farming and teaching
school, until about three years ago,
when he began to feel that on account
of his age he was unequal to such act
i've employment. He especially felt his
inability to manage and control farm
labor a task much better suited to
younger and more active men. He has
therefore been spending most Of his
time with his children.

AFTER RoosEvELT's OWN HEART
Nero Tandell, who died in Sumter
county last week at the age OF 81
years, was a man after the heart OF
President Roosevelt. In the first place
he was a Negro, and in the second
place his progeny was almost as the
sands of the seashore. Nero was born
in slavery in 1916, in Colleton county
and was faithful to his master during
the years Of his servitude. He was
twice married. BY his first wife, who
died in 1882, he had sixteen children
and by his second he had nine, and
all of his immediate offspring are liv-
ing. At the time of his death he could
count in the world twenty-five chill
dren, 103 grandchildren and forty-five
great t-grandchildre A total muster
of 1853 warriors against the enemy Of
race suicide" The oldest son is 81
years old and is prosperous farmer
of Sumter county, where he owns los
acres Of land and a comfortable home.

Jackson, March 9.-The return of
Governor Longino from New Or
leans where he spent few days as
the gnest Of his cousin, John Riley,
the lumbor king of Texas, strikingly
illustrates the divergent paths to
success followed by men who spent
their boyhood together, and who are
reared amid the same influences and
environments.
About forty-flve years ago three
boys with the relationship of cousin,
and bearing different names, were
born in a little backwoods settle
ment In Lawrence county known as
the Silver Greek neighborhood, and
located about ten miles from the
county seat at Monticello. They
grew to manhood, spending their
early life at hard labor on the farms
of their fathers. Ambition directed
two of them to study law and one TO
adopt medicine as a profession, and
all were dependent on their own re-
sources In the meantime:
One of these cousins was Governor
A. H. Longino. He was for several
years circuit and chancery clerk of
the county and finally deciding to
seek new fields, he moved to the
delta, located at Greenwood, and
commenced the active practice OF
law. In a short time he was ap-
pointed Chancellor of the district
and resigned the office to enter the
campaign for governor, winning
hands down over large field of op'
ponents, and now he is formidable
candidate for United STATES senator
Another of these cousins was Johr
Riley who moved to Texas at time
when the state was just commencing
to attract attention, and settled II
the pine region. Between his Law
practice and timber speculations, to
gether with recent ventures in tn,
oil fields, he has become million
aire and conspicuous figure in tn
financial world.
The third cou sin was DIR. Claiborn
Weathersby. He too sought forum
In the great Mississippi delta an
succeeded so well that he has bee
able TO retire from his profession q
an early age with a goodly fortune
his credit made In cotton plantin
and other business ventures. d
Weathersby spends the greater pol
ton of his time in Jackson, and
one of the governors most truste
advisors.
Pluck and determination are I'll
elements that brought about success
In these three lives. It is state
that the little log cabin in whiC
John Riley was born still stands
Silver Creek, and the Texas million
aire intends to have 1t moved to OF
of his estates in Texas where 1t wi
be an ever-present reminder OF I'll
DAVIS of his youth.
