Americas Most
Memorable
Christmas.
By ROBERTus LOVE.

copyright. 1907. by Robertus Lowell
"HE most memorable Christmas
in American history was that of
17T6, the day on which Wash
ington crossed the Delaware.
AS matter of fact, Washington and
his army crossed the Delaware four
times during that same month, but it
was the crossing on Christmas night
that made vivid history. The picture
of Washington Crossing the Della
ware" framed as a colored chrome or
a black and white print, has been ia
miliar to two generations of Ameri-
cans. But how many of us know just
why. how and where Washington
crossed the Delaware, what bearing
that movement had upon the destiny
of America. who painted the famous
picture from which the familiar
chromos are made and where the origi-
nal oil painting may be seen today?
Driven from Long Island and New
York across the Jerseys" Washing
toms defeated and discouraged army
was pursued closely by the British I'm
der CORVALLIS. Washington reached
Trenton Dec 2 and began preparations
for crossing over into Pennsylvania
Collecting all the boats he could find
he sent his army across the river On
the night of the 18th. following with
the rear guard the next morning. just
as Coinwallir,. as the historian Losing
puts it. "car1e down, with great pomE
and parade. to the opposite shore"
CORVALLIS expected to find boats and
cross the river, capture Philadelphia,
the capital of the struggling colonies,
and end the rebellion In short order.
But the willy Washington had des troy.
&c all the boats which he could not
hide on the Pennsylvania shore for his
own future use. The British general
therefore decided 10 wait until the riv-
er froze so that be could cross on the
Zee. Mild weather prevailed for fort
night In the meantime Washington
had placed strong guards at several
fords and ferries up and down the
river. the enemy also posting detach-
ments at important points on the New
Jersey side Washington. with a por-
ton of his army. was encamped at
Newtown. little northeast of Bristol,

A BULLET IN BRAIN
FATE OF CARTER
Plucky officer at Richland
Shot Dead.
AND MURDERER MAKES ESCAPE
Marshal Carter Is Shot Dead Mon
day Morning BY Black Desperate
Whose Arrest He Attempted For
Beating His Way on Train.

kilograms received in Americas early
yesterday morning, requesting that
dogs be hurried to Richland to chase a
murderer, stated that Town Marshal
Carter had been shot and instantly
killed by an unknown negro whose ar
rest he had attempted. Marshal Carter
had received a telegram advising him
to arrest negro beating his way upon
a Seaboard night train, and found his
man in the waiting room at the sta
ton. When arrested, the negro unex-
pectedly pulled pistol and shot Mr..
Carter through the brain, killing him
instantly. The murderer then fled the
scene and has not yet been captured,
although posse is in pursuit. Mr..
Carter was highly esteemed citizen of
Richland and his tragic death causes
great sorrow as well as indignation
there. He was a brother-in-law of
Officer Cy Ross, of Amerlcus, and leaves
a family.

NOVEL CURE FOR colds.
Healing Medication that is Breathed,
Giving Quick Relief.

1t seems just as ridiculous to put
medicine into the stomach to cure a
cold in the head or lungs as it does to
go out in the rain if we want to keep
dry.
The fact that many people right in
Americas cough and hawk and shuttle
for days and weeks after they treat a
cold with the usual stomach DOSING,
shows how valueless are the ordinary
cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure a cold in the
head or cough and irritation in the
throat and lungs, is by breathing
Hyomeis medicated air. Put a few
drops of Hyonei in the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit and
breathe this healing air for few times
and immediate relief will be noted.
The medication goes right to the spot
where the disease germs are located
and renders them harmless in the fu-
ture.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomei on the irri-
tated mucous membrane give quick re-
lief, and the cough or cold is broken
up.
The best evidence of the great value
of Hyomei in curing coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles is the fact that
Dodson's Pharmacy give an absolute
guarantee with every outfit they sell,
that if it does not give satisfaction, the
money will be refunded.
A complete Hyomei outfit, consisting
of bottle of Hyomei, the inhaler and
a medicine dropper, costs but 81, while
extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can
be obtained for only soc. s 1929

Executive Committee Meets in
Americas This Morning and Will De-

trict Agricultural School.

The executive committee of the Third
district agricultural college will meet
again in Americas this morning for the
purpose of finally determining the site
of the proposed college, The local
committee, Messrs. Wheatley, Borum
and Ray, have several eligible sites to
place at the disposal of the district
committee; Messrs. Daniel, Fitzgerald,
HAYS, Mathews and Heard. Among
these are the Rylander- Fielder lands,
with frontage on Fielder street and the
Seaboard Railway, and the Sieg lands
out Lee street. Either of these sites
will prove acceptable, it is believed,
and the executive committee should
have no difficulty this time in determ-
lining the site of the college. Citizens
of Sumter are anxious that the question
of lands be settled and beginning
made on the erection of the several
college buildings.

CLOSED OUT At ELEvEN CENTS
Large Lots OF Cotton Sold Monday
al The Price.

Spot cotton touched eleven cents in
Americas Yesterday with the result
that every bale that would bring the
even money was sold to anxious buyers
who needed the goods. The futures
market did not warrant the paying of
eleven cents, but for once the market
did not control. Several buyers here
wanted good cotton, and as they were
willing to pay premium for the tieecy
the price of eleven cents brought large
numbers of bales from their hiding
places in the warehouses. More cotton
was sold in Americas yesterday, per-
haps, than on any day since the market
touched the high water mark weeks ago.
