A dispatch from Walhalla SAYS
that Hoyt Hayes, the white man
who was convicted Of numbering
his young wife has been sentenced
and the execution is ordered by
Townsend who presided, to take
place at Nalhalla on October IA.
This is the second time Hayes has
been sentenced and he has also
been tried twice In the court of
General Sessions. A mistrial re
suited at first because several of
the jurors wanted TO save his neck
while the others thought he should
die. AT the second trial con
vlctlon of murder resulted and the
defendants attorneys carried the
case to the Supreme Court. There
the lower court wGS confirmed and
the case sent back with an order
that date for the execution be
set, which has been done by CIR.

Instruments Have Been Purchased
and Are on the Road.
The instruments for :he band at
Fort Sereven have been ordered. and
are expected to arrive in a few days.
Some time last year an effort was
made TO have the Quartermaster's De-
partment at Washington issue instru-
ments for volunteer garrison band
at the fort. but owing to it only be-
ing a three company fort. the army
regulations would not permit of it.
The matter was then taken up by
the Chamber of Commerce and a COM
mlttee OF which Mr.. Oscar Kulman
Was made chairman, undertook to
raise sufficient money to buy the out
mt. For one cause and another the
carrying out of the project was de-
layed and at the May meeting of
the directors of the Chamber of Com
merce the matter was taken UP, and
President Estill directed to draw upon
the treasurer for a sufficient amount
to complete the necessary subscrip-
tions. As soon as the Instruments ar
rive, Lieut.. Col. H. r. Anderson COM

the music producers for the Heavy Ar
tlllery are at his command.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 5. Chapter L.

In the last chapter was told what
women had done in real estate, but all
was not told. On Thirty blank street
there are two nice houses. They are
the property Of a. wife of a citizen who
is fairly weIl-to-do in life. but he didn't
give them 10 her, or build them for her.
They represent her savings. When he
married. he, like an sensible husbands
should. gave his wife a weekly allow
ance for the house and her personal
expenses, and of course all she could
save was hers for keeps" He isn't
one of those fellows who makes his
wife feel mean by having to beg for
every quarter she receives from him,
and who often goes for days without a
cent of change because she is too proud
to ask for WHAT should be hers with
out the asking. The last mentioned
facts are given parenthetically so to
better understand the subject. Doubt
less all this will be incomprehensible
to those fellows who are reasonably
just and liberal to everybody, except
their wives.
However, to resume the story: The
wife in question bought one lot and
paid part in cash and the balance in
monthly installments. Then she
thought she would like to own the ad-
joining lot and she bought that the
same way. In due time she had the
lots paid for; IL then occurred to her
that it was ridiculous, if not lunatic,
TO pay taxes for the sake of owning
two vacant lots. So she plunged in
debt again and built two houses, and
then with her savings from her house
money and personal allowance, and the
rents coming in from tenants, it was
not a great while before the lots and
houses were free from debt. How is
that for wife who is still in the bloom
o. youth?
To work out this problem it is first
necessary to have husband who is a
lover and partner but if she
did not draw that kind of
a husband in the matrimonial
lottery, then the wife Will have
to try to change the "affliction" and
make him something better than he is
by nature. Try to stop the money
ludl cues IllO an SOTIS OF useless
things, including those incident to bad
habits. and get control of some of
the husbands earnings. OF course
it is not proposed to give a recipe for
changing some bipeds in pants into
good husbands, but il is possible TO
improve them and a smart woman
may manage so that in course of time
she will be able 10 buy lot on Thirty
ninth street, east, with money that is
now going to waste like the water of a
mill race. If these lots don't please
you. get one on another street II,
good wife, you can't get that lot, do
try to get your husband to give you a
weekly allowance. to cover house and
personal expenses. Your life and his
will be happier. and he and you will be
richer in the end. If not in money at
least in the better things that make
UP our lives.-ad.

FAREWELL SERMON TO
LARGE CONGREGATION
Preached by Rev. j. /. oxford Mt
south side Church.


At the South Side Baptist Church last
night, Rev. J. L. Oxford, the evange-
list. who has been conducting special
revival services for the last ten days,
preached his farewell sermon. A large
congregation assembled to hear him.
Rev. Mr.. oxford will leave for his
home in Douglas this morning.
The text of the sermon was taken
from Acts xx:32: And now, brethren,
l commend you TO God, and to the word
of His grace, which is able to build
you up and to give you an Inheritance
among all them which are sanctified."
mo more fitting Words said Mr..
oxford, could be spoken than these
used BIZ the writer of Acts. To those
who have found Christ during these
meetings they come with especial force.
Only by keeping close to God and trust
ing in His grace, can you retain the
peace which has come to you and in
herit the place prepared for you in the
world to come.
To those who have been longer in
the faith, the words are also appro-
pirate. You have learned to know that
only through the mercy and help of
God have you been able to overcome
your temptations. AS you have done
ia AHe past, Keep close 10 bOu ana his
teachings, and your faith shall win
for you the inheritance among all them
which are sanctifled. -"
There will be no further services this
week. On Sunday night Rev. D. S.
Edenfield. pastor of the church, will
solemnize the baptismal service. A
number of those who professed CONVEX
sion during the series of meetings VIII CHI
have just closed, will be baptlsed at
this time.

OLD LINE POLICIES
NOT INCLUDED.

Supreme Court Decision Has no
Bearing on Ordinary Insurance.
The decision handed down by the
Supreme Court Wednesday in the
knights of Damon insurance policy
case doea not effect insurance in the
regular old line companies at all, lays
Mr.. Julian Schley, one of the most
prominent life insurance men in Sa-
vannah Unless an intent to 1efrdud
is shown the old line policies would
not be at all effected, according to
Mr.. Schley.
The case which was decided by the
Supreme Court was the Supreme Con-
clave, Knights of Damon, ct al, versus
Wood. The heirs of Wood had sued
for his insurance. The society showed
that he had given erroneous Informal
ton to the medical examiner 1t was
not shown, however, that he had know
ingly given this false information, and
the inference was that he had given it
through ignorance.
In this particular case, however, the
statements made were made a part of
the contract and the Supreme Court
held that where an applicant covenants
in his application that the statements
made to the medical examiner are true
and these statements are made a part
OF the contract, any variation in them
are material, whether made in good
faith or wilfully, or fraudulently.
Mr.. Schley says that most of the
regular companies issue an incontesta-
bic policy which would be good even
if fraud were shown after q. certain
period. He further says that the polf-
cies would be good at any time if it
were shown that erroneous statements
had been made through ignorance.
Most of the policies. Mr.. Schley states,
have certain period in which to dis
cover any erroneous statement. If
not discovered within that time. he
thinks the policies would be good, even
If it were shown that the applicant
had attempted TO defraud the company
knowingly. "

DR.. MUM DESIGNS
NEW TRUNK STRAP,
Invention VIII BE Boon to Travellers
Who Carry Baggage.

Travellers who have been much an
noyed by the necessity of Tightening
the straps on their trunks by a dint
Of pulling and straining at the leather
bands will welcome the invention of
DR.. R. ]. Num- of this city which
makes the task light.
BY the addition of piece of steel to
a tourist strap he has made the fasten-
ing of the bands an easy matter. I'm
der the present plan whenever a trunk
provided with the tourist strap is open
ed it is necessary to disarrange the
band and slip it off. When the trunk
is to be prepared for another journey
it is necessary to adjust it again. By
the invention of DIR. Num- the strap
remains the same length, unless it
should become stretched or needed for
another trunk. In the latter case a
process would be necessary something
like that which is needed for every
moving of a trunk under the present
system.
To the end of a tourist strap Dr.
Num- has fastened a thin piece of
metal of the same width, and about
| two inches long. The lower end of this
| piece is bent at right angles. To draw
the strap taut it is only necessary TO
place the base of the lock at the other
end of the strap against the turnup
of the piece of metal, which forms a
pivot by which it is easy to stretch
the leather or canvas strap 1t is then
locked in the usual way.
