STRUCK BY LIGHTING.
Thunderbolt Fell Among Crowd Of
Stateburg Ball Players.

Lightning struck in crowd of ne
groes who were attending baseball
game at Stateburg yesterday after
noon and while several Of them were
severely shocked none were killed. A
horse belonging to negro named
Long was killed and mule was
knocked down. A man who was
standing by the horse was not hurt,
but boy who was in the act Of get
ting into the buggy to which the mule
was hitched was the most seriously
shocked of any in the crowd. 1t is
said that fight was in progress at the
time, but it is needless to say that the
lightning stopped the fight and broke
up the ball game.

Automobile hose wagons would
probably the city less to maintain
and not dc ..ease the efficiency of the
fire department. The initial invest
ment might be somewhat greater than
for an ordinary wagon and team, but
there would be no expense save when
the machines were in actual service.
The difference in cost of maintenance
for automobiles and the feed bill for
the horses would more than pay the
interest on the first cost Of the auto
mobile It is but question Of short
time when when all fire departments
will be equipped with automobile hose
wagons, trucks and engines and Sum-
ter may as well lead the way in South
Carolina. Monaghan Hose Company
is in a position to make the innova-
ton. Instead Of purchasing new
team why not purchase a new auto
mobile hose wagon and lead the pro-
ceSSion

Strange, Isn't It?

Woman sees a hat or bonnet in a
milliner's window. 1t is in the latest
style, so she determines to have that
hat or one just like it.
No use to try to dissuade her-she
wants that kind of hat! No other
will suit her.
There she displays her will power,
and probably does the same with ev-
erything she buys for herself or her
family. She makes. as it were, fem
in;ne Declaration of independence"
1t is not surprising, therefore, to
find some few women who still allow
their grocers to choose for them in
important matters like food stuffs?
In spite of the fact that grocers as
a rule have long ago realized the ne
cessity Of catering to their customers
rather than their own desires, there
are still few Of the other kind left,
who show a marked inclination to
persuade customers to take what they
do mot ask for, or desire.
| Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the
leader Of all package coffees, an es-
tablished favorite for over twenty-five
years in millions Of homes, on account
Of it's absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
Wouldn't you think it impossible
that single grocer can still exist
who would oppose such an invincible
argument Of merit, by trying to
persuade a customer to buy loose
coffee in preference to Lion Coffee:
Loose coffee has no standard Of
quality-nobody can guarantee that
it is even clean.
OF course, really Independent and
intelligent women know this, and so
do up-to-date grocers, but if women
were: as particular about coffee as
about hats, NO kind of grocer could
be without Lion Coffee.
