Chas e. Letten, the defaulting
chief clerk to Collector Fitzpat-

onstrated the truth Of the as
rertion that the biggest fool is
an old fool" Letten is nearly
$50 years of age, a man of family
and yet he permitted his infatua-
ton for a neqress to prompt him
to steal more than 100000 of
tax money, most of which, ac-
cording to his own confession, he
gave to a negro woman, who
threatened him if he failed to
come across" when she demand
ed cash. Now, with a term in
the penitentiary in front of him,
with his family disgraced, Let
ten fully realizes his folly and
and bitterly denounces the fe-
that caused his downfall. But,
he came to his senses too late.

The baseball fans Of this city, and

much Interested in the coming meet
ing at which time the future Of the
State league will be discussed and, no
doubt. some definite action taken.
Of course. Sumter will be in the
league and will do all in her power to
keep the pennant flying here.
The scarcity Of hands Is being seri-
ously felt by the lumber mills and
other manufacturing concerns in this
vicinity that employ common labor.
The cotton fields are too attractive for
the average laborcrs, and they do not
hesitate to throw up a steady job to
pick cotton for few weeks. Some Of
the mills are so short, handed that
they can hardly run while others are
thinking Of shutting down temporarily.

An instance Of the gross favoritism
and partiality displayed by City Coun-
Gil In disbursing its bounty was called
to the writer's attention the other day
by an indignant and disinterested tax
payer. He said he regarded it a cry
ing shame that Council pays the Sec
ond Regiment Band 5000 a year for
giving open air concerts on the square
once week during the summer
months. but donates not cent to
those who give graphophone concerts

1t IL stated on good authority that
chickens. eggs and batter command
higher prices on the local market
than they do In Charleston. Washing
ton and New York. These articles Of
food are scarce enough and dear
enough here for the statement to be
true. There ought to be money in
poultry raising and dairying for the
local market.
A few years ago when cotton was

the world is almost lost art here
| abouts.
Several observant and well posted
farmers say that the cotton crop has
| deteriorated SO materially since Aug
ust 18th that the yield will be fully
| twenty per cent less than estimated
during the first half Of August. This
Is conservative estimate while
those who like to talk in
big figures place shortage at
20 to 80 Der Gent. of previous
stimates--neverthele the crop is
good when compared with last year.
IL has been found that iron pipe

" HERE are a few ills 10 which all
mankind Is subject. and which
seem to assure us that in the
end we are all brothers
The man or woman has never lived
who has not az some time been over
whelmingly, eXhaustingly tired. Per
maps a long strain has been the cause,
perhaps merely ~ uTlvonted effort, Of
ten one becomes fatigued from doing
nothing ct ali.
Real fatigue may be divided into the
mental and muscular varieties. The
latter is decidedly the simpler of the
two Where one has so overworked
physically that one cannot sleep, the
first thing TO do IS TO learn to relax.
In such a case the first thing TO do
is 10 take a warm bath. into which a
little rock salt has been dropped to
C0unteract the weakening effects Of hot
water
Then shut ont every ray of light from
your bed room and lie fat on your back
Do. not close your eyes and think des-
perately Of going to sleep.
Instead, devote yourself entirely to the
subject of keeping your eyes open. IF
they close open them; If necessary, even
prop them open with your fingers; what
ever you do. continue 10 stare wlde-eyed
into the darkness, and most important
&C all, think Of that one question only.
IN about I'VE minutes you will be so
sleepy that no viii power on earth could
keep YOU awake.

air, or in the midst Of city crowds.
Many people find in phrases or
verses dear to them the quiet and peace
they need. One woman simply repeats,
when overfadgued, Matthew Arnoid.s
beautiful little poem, THE Last Word, -
while another finds surcease IN q rest
full and innocuous Good Night" verse
which hangs on her bedroom wall.
Sometimes. too. It Is in a call to ac-
ton that rest can be found. Perhaps a
stirring invocation to battle is all that
Is needed to fncite one TO fresh action.
For Mental WEAKNESS.
Often music brings relief, and ocoa-
sioHally mere mechanical action, such
as aimless walking OF monOtonous tap
ping with the fingers. Is soothing.
A good way to overcome mental tired
ness Is to make one's self physically
tired. Then in the sleep which follows
exhaustion the nervous irTitaDiiity
passes away IS well.
TIE great secret back Of family har-
mony is the learning to rest together. %
Until each member.of a community can
avoid friction IN the tense hours fol
lowing undue mental strain or physical
exertion, friction Is bound 10 ensue.
Finally, there are two things to re-
member. One is that recreation is re-
creation" thought pregnant with
meaning; the other, that the cure for
fatigue is sleep, actual or figuratfVe-
With these two phrases IN mind, there
r. no danger Of actual collapse, however
great the melting cause.
