NEGRO STRUCK

HER CLOTHING WAS SET ON FIRE

The terrific stroke of lightning, that
came without premonition about $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon, as a pre-
Jude to heavy rain, struck Eliza
Frazier, a colored woman, living at
the north end of Jackson street.
The woman was standing at the open
window, about to draw in a shutter.
The lightning struck her on the arm,
ran up her arm to the shoulder and
then down her side, setting her cloth
ing on fire, and stunning her temper
arily
When she came to her clothing was
in blk1e. Fortunately the heavy rain
had started, and she rolled, although
in great pain, into the street, where
the flames were speedily extinguished.
DR.. McMath was summoned and gave
her the necessary attention. Although
badly shocked she will probably re-
cover.
A clock and one or two other arti
Giles in the room were damaged by the
lightning.

YIELD IS ABOUT THE AVERAGE

Capt. John A. Cobb brought in a
stalk of corn from his Cobbham place
yesterday, on which were six good
ears of corn. The corn was of the
Little Cobb variety, which has been
raised around Americas for some
years. Wits this stalk may have
been exceptional there is plenty of
corn out on his place that has sew
eral ears of corn to the stalk
Fodder pulling is in active pro-
gress all over Sumter county now.
This work is about ten days to two
weeks ahead of ordinarily, This may
be due either to the heavy use of
fertilizers, forcing the growth and
rapid development of the plant, or it
may be due to atmospheric conditions
to a considerable extent.
At one time it was thought Sum-
ter would make an extraordinary
crop of corn this year. Then the
pendulum swung the other way and
it was feared that the corn crop
would be disappointment small. Now
it is said that it will probably pretty
we'll average up to the ordinary crop
of this county.
With an average yield of corn, a
good crop of cotton, u cents as the
prevailing price during its market
ing, and the farmers all in good
shape to begin with, what reason is
there to anticipate anything but a
prosperous fall and winter ahead for
Sumter and Americas?

MONTEzUMA PLAYS
HERE FRIDAY
Suffers Under DeIuSiOn That Il
is Going to Win.
CLOSE GAME is BEING LOOKED FOR
Permission Has Been Given to Monte
yuma To Bring a Couple of Hired
Players AIOng..-A Battle Royal
of the Season AntiCi-
pdted.

MonteZuma is coming down to Am
CIRCUS Friday primed with the hope
of taking home the scalp of the local
baseball team as trophy of the hot
test game of ball ever played here.
But, of course, they will be doomed
to Disappointment. They will put up
good game. There is no doubt of
that. But Americas will put up a
better.
Permission has been cheerfully
granted the Montezuma captain to
bring two or three hired players. His
team is short some of its usual twirl-
ers and so a professional or two
will be added to strengthen it and
put it in shape for the battle royal
of the season.
Montezuma has really got a fine
team, one of the best in all Southwest
Georgia They have a feeling of local
pride aroused, too, that will make
them put up the best there is in them
But no one here expects other than q
defeat for the visitors, although close
game is generally expected.
The Americas twirlers are in fine
lcondition, our team being probably the
strongest amateur club that has beer
got together here in many seasons.
Americas salso short one of its
regular team, Dunn, who ha sheen a
Tybee, doing military duty under the
surveillance of Uncle Sam However
with Hooks as a substitute the loca
club should be able to hold its owl

Monday afternoon, before the appro-

Such strong opposition developed
to Chairman Hardman's bill for in
creasing the inspection fees that the

VEIL POINTERS.

Invariably the veil should harmonize with the color of the hat, though dark gray and golden brown are fashion able shades that may be worn with almost any col3red hat.
 The smartest driving veil i5 O. ivy green chiffon, with tucked or hem stitched border, and is worn pinned closely over the hat and face with f1y- ing ends.
 While this shade is best suited for the eyes, it also has the advantage over other shades that it harmonizes with almost any color.
 Complexion veils are clamoring for recognition again, but 1t is doubtful if they will be accepted by the multitude.
 Those who have adopted them are wearing coarse black meshes with white threads running in the opposite direction from the heavy threads.
 Instead of barely covering the nose, as formerly, the complexion veil now reaches to the chin, where 4 is retain ed by group of fine gathers.

IMPROVING THE VIOLIN.
"G String Prop Makes New ,Har-
 monies a Possibility.

An innovation in violin making that is attracting considerable attention has been brought about through the ingenuity of Lester l.. Sargent of Washington, who has contrived sim pie but distinctly useful "G string prop" to enable the violinist to play simultaneously on three strings of his instrument, whereas heretofore it has been possible for him to play sustain ed chords of two notes only at time Thus the dominion of the king of in struments'' will be extended into the realm of harmony as well as of mel ody.
 The new device itself Is small wedge-shaped piece of bridge wood in serted on the violin bridge under the q. string. It's dimensions, while de- pending to some extent on the height of the bridge on the particular violin on which it is to be used and the character of the music to be played are ordinarily as follows; Thickness three sixty fourths of an inch; length five-eights of an inch; width, three sixteenth of an inch or slightly less. The hypotenuse of the prop is curved to ii smoothly on the bridge of the violin and g. notch fir the c. string is also made. To erect the device on the violir is an easy matter, it being only neces' sary to turn down the c. string abou a tone, to insert the prop underneath and then to turn up the string witt care. In effect 1t becomes a componen part of the bridge itself, but 1t can al ways be esasily removed.
 This method of elevating the G jus enough to be sounded simultaneously with the D and A strings takes away the mechanical obstacle that Ole Bul managed to overcome by means of z fiat bridge and his remarkable tours de force, but which no other Vtolinis has attempted to cope with.
 That this method of playing is en- tirely novel is evidenced by the fac that all works on orchestration have stated that sustained chords on the violin are restricted to two notes and that three and four voiced chords mus be played as arpeggios But new anc beautiful effect is now placed at the command of the violinist, although il | is true that there are few compositions in which use has been made of the possibilities of writing beautiful chords on the three lower strings of the violin De Beriot has a notable passage ir his Fifth Concerto, but it remains

For Women.
RULES FOR TIRED WOMEN

For the guidance of the tired wo- man there are these six rules:
 Lie in bed in the morning until you wake up of your own accord.
 Put on loose clothing and if possi- ble change it completely in the middle of the day.
 Don't sit bolt upright if you can help it. Select chairs with restful backs and try to favor yourself a little.
 Coddle your nerves also; don't listen to narrowing stories and don't allow yourself to become disturbed, Above all things don't worry.
 Try to rest your eyesight and don't read before breakfast nor directly af- ter a meal
 If you are going out in the after non and have busy day before you try the Queen Alexandra diet of five small meals day Take a glass of milk and a biscuit at II o'clock and another at f. This will not interfere with your regular meals and will serve as a pick me up.
