The Suicide Was Ereeland.

There is no longer any doubt but
that the aged man who attempted
suicide in hotel in this city several
months ago and who later ended his
life in Little Mountain, was Captain
A. N. Freelaud, a one time prominent
resident of Sumter. A letter which
Mr.. Louis H. Cary, cotton buyer of
this city, who boarded at the hotel in
which the suicide was attempted, has
received from daughter of Captain
Freeland, has removed all doubt as to
the mans identity.
The letter in question was from
Mrs. Lille F. Bradley and she asks
Mr.. Cary to get her fathers watch
and umbrella from the pawn shop and
send it with the old gentleman's other
belongings to her. She says 81 want
to thank you many times for the at
tention which you gave my father
while he was in your town. Papa
was always very proud man. If he
had only told US that he was in need
of funds we would have been glad to
have aided him. He was in Sumter
during the latter part of November to
see us but did not intimate that he
was in need. He told us that he was
on his way to Florida to spend the
winter" Mrs. Bradley told Mr.. Cary
that she would pay the pawn on the
watch and the umbrella Greenville
News.

State Taxes Increased.

Thursday the ways and means COM
mittee at meeting decided on levy
of so mills State tax for ordinary
purposes. This is raise of l mill and
will, it is estimated, leave a deficit of
about $50, 900. The levy was fixed
with probability of the appropria-
tion of s24, 900 for Winthrop, 200 for
the new, judicial circuit and $4,000
for the raise in salaries of auditors
and treasurers being inserted in the
appropriation bill. 1t does not in
clude, however, $4,000 for the Con-
federate infrmary.
It is estimated that the appropria-
tions this year will be nearly $780,
600, an increase of nearly 5000, 900 over
1907.

Details of the Microscope.

which h average person IA see an
object clearly is about six inches, it
follows that the diameter of an object
three-fourths of an inch from the eye
would appear eight times the normal
size. The object would then be magni-
fed eight diameters, or GA times. (The
area would appear GA times as large.)
But an object ~three-fourths of an inch
from the eye appears so blurred that
none of the details are d~iscernible,
and it is for this reason that the
pin-hole is employed.
Viewed through this microscope, a
fiy's wing appears as large as a per-
sons hand, held at arms length, and
has the general appearance shown in
Fig. 8. The mother OF vinegar ex-
amined in the same way is seer to be
swarming with a mass OF wriggling lit
tie worms, and may possibly cause the
observer to abstain from all salads for
ever after. An innocent looking drop
of water, in which hay has been
soaked for several days, reveals hun
dreds of little in%fusoria, darting across
the field in every direction. These and
hundreds of other interesting objects
may be observed in this little instru-
ment, which costs little or nothing to
make.

CUT OUT FOR A FINANcIER.
shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out
Of Whistiing Geese.

Two rogues passed a poultry shop.
Seeing two geese hung up for sale one
of the rogues inserted In the gullet
Of the goose a little bulb with whistle
attached. When the bulb was pressed
the whistle sounded.
Then, entering the store, he told the
proprietor that he had hanging out
side a very are kind OF whistling
goose. The proprietor at once sold
the goose for a big sum to a very
learned professor, who was astonished
to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed ne
whistle in the gullet of the bird. the
proprietor asked him il he knew
where others like 1t could be OBJ
tanned.
WELL" said the crafty fellow, 81
know Of only n place, and II you will
pay me a big price 1 will get several
for you"
So the rogue brought a dozen fowls,
in tae gullet Of each Of which he
thrust a whistle, and was paid an ex-
orbitant price for them before the
hoax was discovered.

General Demand

Of the We~ll-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to BE-
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of tlse laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fe Syrup CO., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Knock the Knocker.

No enterprising, growing com.

place, has any use for the malcontent
usually known as a "knocker.' Many
of the worst specimens of knockers
are not the one who by their words
injure the home town, but are the
ones who without good reason send
away all the money they have to
spend to some distant place, thus
robbing the home town of the support
that it should rightly have. 1t is the
business that keeps the town alive
Anything that decreases the volume
OF business Injuries the place. One
may claim that their money is earned
by hard work, and that the right to
spend it wherever they wish is theirs
But there is such a thing as princi
pie, and by principles are men gagged
by their fellow men. The "knocker'
is one who values principle as moth,

among the dignified members of the
senate.
With its two new members congress
has been economical. Each will re.
ceive the regular salary of $500, but
the 20 cents a mile travel gift is not
for them. Two thousand dollars
apiece for each round trip is their
travel allowance.
Neither the house MOI the senate
was particularly prepared for them.
Although the authority for the selec-
ton of the commissioners was given
in the Philippines organic act several
years ago it remained for the first as
sembly last fall to make their choice
possible. Then the commissioners
slipped across the Pacific and pre-
sented themselves at the capital.
Congress had not been thinking
much about their coming or their 60
ing until they wanted to know what
rights resident commissioners had in
congress. When they left home one
felt that the United States would let
them stay in Washington only under
surveillance, while the other went so
far as to believe that they would have
the right to vote in the house, run
down the corridor and vote on the
same measure in the senate.
The powers that be finally decided
that they should be given seats at
both ends of the capitol and the privi-
leges of the floor, but not of voting.
