Gentlemen of the Jury

The juries for both the Court OF SEES
sions and Court Of Common Pleas have
been drawn. The list appears else
where. Chief Justice Pope has Sc
lected Ex-Judge w. G. Benet, ST., to
hold the Court here. Gov. Hayward
issued the commission to Judge Benet
last week. The reason for this special
appointment is due to the sickness OF
Judge j. @. Klugh, who is the victim
of typhoid fever at his home at Able
Vile.
The next term Of Court c%onvenes on
the 10Th inst, and will last two weeks.
The criminal docket is about as heavy
as usual and the civil july cases are as
numerous as ever. 1t Is likely that
both weeks the Court will be c%ontiuu-
ously busy. There are several impor-
tant cases on both sides of the Court.

duct TIE "Bible and Missionary Insti-
tuto." Mr.. Holmes Is one of the most
cultured and most eloquent preachers

ment Mr.. Holmes says:
''The Bible and Missionary institute,
which has been located in Atlanta, Ca,
for the past two and a half years, has
been moved to Columbia and will be
open in the building Of the "Oliver

no no special church or society. and de-
pendent alone upon God, as he moves
the hearts of His people in all branches
of the church, for It's support. We
rest by faith in God for His providence.
He has promised to supply the needs
of those who trust Him, according to
His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
"The institute is intended for those
who have given themselves to God for
His service and are wiling to be wit
nesses or messengers whenever He
calls or sends them, and to this end are
ready to work and trust and endure
hardship in His name and for His
glory. If they have means they are
expected to contribute to their sup
port, If they have nothing they are
just as welcome, and we look to them
in faith to God for all that we need.
Our prayer and faith is that God will
guide as 10 those who are to come and
provide for them and all the work of
the institute.
SIN addition to those from o dis
lance who live in the institute build
ing, the Bible classes AMI lectures will
be all open to the public and free of all

WHY REMIT

When you can own your own home
with the same money?
Tho Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company will enable you to do
this.
Instead OF Paying Rem for years
and owning nothing at the end of the
term the property is yours,
Meanwhile, you have had the home
from the first-with the motive to i'm.
prove 1t.
Owning ones home does more to
mako an independent man than any
thing else. a.
A mau with little or no property finds
IT hard to borrow and build.
Such men this company provides
credit fer.
There are hundreds of working
men in thit town paying rent on
houses that are not cosy and comforta
bic, they have no cOnveniences, that
are not kept up and that are not i'm
proving in value.
Lots in Laurens are cheap. These
same men, with the rem money they
are paying, can all own homes In
which they will take ptide and which
will grow more valuable each year.
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
meDt Company Is not u building and
loan association. Why? Because the
contract is certain and definite. The
borrower knows TO q day when his
debt will be due. Moreover the rate of
interest is lower.

Letter to Allen BramIett.
Laurens, S. @.

Laurens, S. @.
Dear Sir: Let's have u little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please read.
You want to know how to do a cheap
job Of painting, and have it look good
Here it is: The cheapest thing there is
in the way of o good.looking job-say
nothing about it's being goods De-
o the regular thing In Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Lead-and-oil Is
g~ood-looking; don't go so far and costs
more. The other paints are more or
less short in one way or another; don't
go SO far and costs more than Devo,.
Devoe costs least of all; you don't
mind its lasting longer, do you? We
can't help it; o paint that goes further
lasts ,onger; we can't help it.
Yours truly,
s f. w. DEvoE & Co.

First Cost Not the Chcapest.

The first cost of an article does not
necessarily determine its cheapness.
For instance, a sack Of "Clifton" flour
may cost you a little moro than other
s~o-called patent hours, but it will be
cheaper to you in the ED. Why? Be-
cause it will not only make more bread
to the sack, but take less lard and soda
to make 1t. Order q sack of "Clifton''
and make a test for yourself. 1t will
prove the truth Of this staten mt.

SHOT HIS WIFE AND SELF
Fearful Tragedy Near Idaho Falls
Five Small Children Will I
Be Orphans. ,
Special to Tho Journal.

Special to Tho Journal
Idaho Falls, Idaho, July Sword was
telephoned to the city yesterday from the
sugar factory that James Stewart had shot
his wife and then committed suicide.
Stewart and his wife have been running
a boarding house at the factory, and 1t
seems have had frequent quarrels The
one yesterday was apparently more seri-
GUS than usual, but finally Mrs. Stewart
told her husband that he had quarreled
with her for the last time, and she was
going to pack her trunk and go to town. +
He tried to persuade her not to do so,
but she kept on, ara he finally told her
that she could not leave him and that he
would shoot her before he would allow her
to leave. With this it seems he went to
his trunk, took out his revolver and
loaded it.
Mrs. Stewart told him to shoot if he was
going to, apparently thinking that he did
not mean what he said, but he fired at
her, the ball striking her chin and lodging
in her neck. Mrs. Stewart turned to run
and he fired again, the ball striking her
in the back at the left side, passing near
the heart and lodging. Just below the left
nipple. : AS she passed out of the door
she picked up her youngest child and ran
about fifty yards and fell --s -.
Stewart then turned the gun on himself
and fired one shot into his heart and fell
back dead. Mrs. Stewart is in precari-
Gus condition. One bullet has been re-
moved, but the one in her neck has not
been located. and it is hard to tell at this
time what are her prospects for recovery.
The case is a very sad one, as there are
five small children in the family.

was speeches. with grief.
Eddie Smith. with a number of other
little fellows, was playing at Union ave

Hogan and two other boys met hirr.' AT
