AS I stood at the brink of the fierv
pit looking down, perhaps two hundred
feet, to where the unfathomableness of
nature was at work, making everchang-
ing pyrotechnic pictures-grander, more
sublime in an incomprehensible degree
than anything man could invent, this
church teaching of my early childhood
was brought wildly to mind If that
early preacher could have brought his
congregation to the brink of Kilauea,
and talked to them there, what ocular
evidence he would have had to back
up his arguments. | hope he is not
abiding for ever and ever in any such
hot, moody, awful place.
The picture is drawn as well as my
pen can draw it; it is ever changing,
always fascinating. The best advice
can give, is to go and see it. No other
eyes will be as good for you as your
own. Published herewith is a PEN
drawing by Rev. E. W. Thwing, which
he handed to me. Where the picture
shows white, substitute fiery red. That
is fairly correct for one minute; the
next a Kaleidoscope change will have
taken place.

whom were ladies.
The night was inky black, but off in
the distance the heavens were brilliant
" Illuminated with the glow from the
crater. With such a beacon, it is little
wonder the people became excited with
eagerness. Wraps and lanterns were
procured, and off the people went, in
many eases without guides, other than
here and there one who had been there
before-sometime.
A tolerably good trail has been made
down the bluff to the floor of the era
ter. and thence across the frozen lava
to the pit. In the daytime this can
be easily followed by anyone, but at
night it is not so easy, especially with
insufficient lantern light. Groups of

safe for the one carrying the light.
but altogether a different matter for
those trailing behind. The trail twists
and turns around, through and over

not in total darkness, puzzled as to
which way to turn. If he was so I'M

BUSY TIME FOR NINE HOST AT

Mr.. Jarrett J. Wilson, who aspires
to the Office of sheriff of Sumter coun-
ty, is one of her best known citizens
who for fifty years has resided here,
esteemed among all. He was born in
Putnam county February 9, 1855, COM
coming to Sumter with his parents,
at the age of three years.
He is the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs
w. A. Wilson, pioneer settlers here
His mother was Miss Sallie Jarrett,
a member of the we'll known Jarrett
family of Putnam county.
Reared upon a farm, Mr. Wilson's
best years have ever been devoted to
agricultural pursuits
His early school days were spent
at the Furlow Masonic College, while
later he attended the we'll known
Rylander Academy here. His father
was an instructor, and the young
lad thus received an excellent educa-
ton
When fifteen years Of age Mr.. Will
son went to work upon the farm,
engaging later in the saWmill bust
ness and also that of a country mer-
chant. In each avocation he achieved
success. evidencing the early and
careful training bestowed upon him.
While yet a young man he married
Miss Ella Pryor, daughter of Shep-
pard G. Pryor, a pioneer settler.
Their married life was ever an ideal
ly happy one Three daughters and
two sons have grown to manhood and
womanhood to cheer them in their
happy home.
Mr.. Wilson was elected to the leg
islature from Sumter in 1904, serving
his term with ability and declining a
second term. His only other public
office is that of democratic executive
committeeman for the Fifteenth dis
trict for the past eighteen years.
This duty, like all others he has
discharged faithfully and conscien-
tiously at all times.

makes and retains warm friendships,
and is esteemed by all.

w. H. Feagin, as he is known Off
cially, but genial bill Feagin,' as
he is known to hundreds throughout
southwestern Georgia, is a product of
old Sumter, the county over which he
aspires to preside as sheriff, having
been born here in 1857.
This statement gives away his
age, but in politics everything known
of a man comes out, and Bill Feagin
pleads guilty to 81 years.
His father, William H. Feagin,
whose honored name he bears in
full, was among the early settlers of
Sumter, where he engaged in farm
ing and brought young William up
behind the pillow handles and a mule.
He was born in Americas, but was
brought up on the farm now owned
by Mr. w E. Mitchell in the 18th
district
His education was secured at the
old school house near Sumter city,
but his school days were limited in
number Responsible duties devoly-
ed upon him at an early age, and he
went to work, ever since that date
a loyal knight to duty.
And duty he has never shirked,
whatever the call made.
While yet young man he
married Miss Eugenia Cameron,
of Americas, who is the queen of
one of the happiest homes in Georgia
with seven handsome daughters and
sons to pay her all homage.
Probably no officer in the state
is better known than Dill Feagin,
and certain it is no one has a better
record for discharging official duty
and catching criminals.
Of this later class he has probably
caught a larger number than any
sheriff in all Georgia.
An experience of twenty-five years
on the Americas police force has
given him an opportunity for knowing
criminals and their methods, and it
has often been said that no one could
commit crime and escape if Feagin
went after him.
The fact that he has been % years
constantly employed on the force, and
five years as Chief of Police, enjoy
ing the entire confidence of every
one, attests his efficiency.

COTTON RECOVERED
PART OF LOSSES
StaqnatiOn Prevailed in To-

The cotton markets opened yester-
day at losses of to points, and
after dipping to points further,
recovered this second decline and
closed little above first values, 2

showing the smallest losses. The
English market was disappointing,

the American markets selling was
renewed and prices eased off, but af-
ter new low levels for the season had
been established a recovery took
place.
New York opened A to s points

and points lower for May and July,
as compared with the final for We'd
nesday Spots were marked down 10
points. New Orleans opened 4 to z
points down. Values worked lower,
but rallied, the close being to
points above the last figures for the
day before Spots were unchanged.
Liverpool opened 3 points higher,
about as due, but at theearly after
noon call had recorded net losses. This
decline was increased in the late
session, the close being easy, 4 to 5
points net lower for the day. The
market is due this morning 3 to 4

IT'S YOUR KIDEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. Americas Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
back or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think
it will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. This is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease The best remedy to
use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Americas people
testify to permanent cures.

living just outside of Americas, says ::

trouble and backache, from which /

After lying or sitting in one position

Of my back, and would have to take
