BIRTHDAY OF FRENCH
PRESIDENT CELEBRATED
M. FaIIiereS Is 66 Years
Old.

PARIS, Nov. (SpeciaD Kings,
emperors and presidents of many ma
itons joined today in the gem
eral fluctuations to President Glenn
ent Armand Fallieres, who celebrates
his Goth birthday
M. Fallieres was born on November
6, 1871, at Mezin. AS young man he
studied law and entered upon its
practice at Merac, of which town he
was elected mayor He first became
prominent in national politics in 1876,
when he was elected to the chamber
of deputies. In 1880 he was made I'M
der secretary to the minister Of the
interior, and later became minister of
public instruction, minister of the
interior and minister of justice. In
1890 he was elected senator and since
that time his career has been con-
tinual triumph, eliminating with the
highest office in the gift of the French
people.
His enemies, of whom he has
declare that he was born under
a lucky star, and this belief was
borne out at the last celebration of
the French national holiday, July IA,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-11-07

when an unsuccessful attempt was
made upon his life. M. Fallieres is
credited with holding sociaiistic
ideals for the French nation, and
played prominent part in the move
ment for the complete separation of
church and state in France. He rep
resents the radical, anti-clerical ath-
eistic school of philosophy and states
manship, now dominant in France,
but in his official actions has always
displayed a spirit of strict justice,
tempered by charity.
His enemies are chiefly in the
ranks of the churchmen and those
entertaining royalistic ideals, and
among the great masses of the people
he is held in universal regard.

FEW GASES ARE FILED
FOR TERM OF COURT
Sumter'S Docket is Light
est Ever.

Return day in Sumter superior
court brought little new business for
the forthcoming session three weeks
hence, and the docket as now made
up is the lightest in a number of
years. Not suit against a railroad
or the city was filed, and barring the
usual number of negro divorce cases
there will be little business for the
term unless the grand jury develops
a lot of it on the criminal docket.
Court convenes on the fourth Mon
day, 18th inst, Judge Littlejohn pre-
siding, and present indications point
to a session not exceeding two weeks,
instead of two months, as was the
case many years ago when conditions
were not SO good in Sumter as at

RESOLUTIONS
Passed By the First Methodist Sunday
School On the Death of Mrs. Nj.
]. Walker.

In the quiet morning hours of Sun
day. October goth, the message came
to us that the sweet spirit of our aged
sister and friend had been summoned
from earth to Heaven Without pain
or a care she had laid herself down
the night before little dreaming that
the call would come SO soon. Who
of us dare say it came not in answer
to prayer, for thus we know she had
prayed to go.
Clothed in the whole armor of God
she had lived always ready for SER
vice. The last day of her life being
spent in preparing to meet her Bible
Glass. We who have been of that
class know how thorough was that
preparation, and with what quiet dig
nifty, serene confidence in God, His
love and His word she was ever wont
to meet us.
In as much as God, in His infinite
mercy has seen fit to remove from
our midst this woman, who as a
church member, Sunday School
teacher and friend so nobly filled
each sphere in which circumstance
placed her be it resolved
First That our Church has lost IN
Mrs. Walkers death one of her most
consecrated members, whose life
showed forth her great love for the
Sanctuary and in whom the fruits of
the Spirit were richly exemplified.
Second: That our Sunday School
has lost one of her most faithful and
efficient teachers, one whose place 1t
will be hard to fill,
Third: That in her going our COM
munity has lost a great influence for
good; for her daily life was as city
set on a hill whose light cannot be
aid. She ever pointed one to purer
and nobler things.
Fourth: That the First Methodist
Sunday School extend to the bereav-
ed family heart felt sympathy in their
sore bereavement.
Fifth Be it further resolved, That
a page in our Sunday School Record
be inscribed with her name and death
and that it be kept as memorial to
her true worth and our love for and
appreciation of her.
Sixth: That these resolutions be
spread on the Record of the Sunday
School and copies furnished the fam
lily. Respectfully submitted,
MRS. L. j. WALTERS,
MRS. G. r. ELLIS,
MRS. I. H. McGILLIS.

humor can be cultivated In a girls
mind without any abatement % the
dignity aud modcsiy and charm OF
her womanhood. Not the unpleasant

MAPS HELP A MAN SLEEP.
Mental Geography the Best soporife.
According 20 a Drug Clerk.

A hagEard-looking man strolled
into drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help.
He said he had trouble In get
ting TO sleep when he retired. No
matter how sleepy he might be during
the day or how much sleep he might
have lost. the moment his head touch
ed the pillow he was wide awake and
lay thus for several hours. Once
asleep, he was hard to waken, but
he had TO be up at certain hour,
and in consequence OF his peculiar af'
Fiction he was losing more sleep than
he could stand. The drug clerk re-
garded him quizzically few moments
and then replied: my dear man,
you don't need medicine. What you
want ia something TO change the
trend OF your thoughts, DO as n friend
OF mine did. He was troubled the
same way and found that the old folks
plan of imagining sheep passing bar
rier and counting them was out OF
date. so he began trying TO name all
the states in the union. lie soon got
them 80 he could classify them alpha
betically.. Then when they no longer
interested him he started on the
counties OF this state. lie now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
TO the fourth letter. Now he II start
Ing on state capitals and their loca'
tons; then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he Is
wrong. and the beauty Of the plan Is
that he rarely has TO think along
these lines longer than ten minutes
before he is sound asleep To make
It short. the study OF geography Is a
good narcotic"
