When the rural mail carrier passes
you on the road or puts the mail in
your mail box, did you ever stop to
think what this branch of the postal
service representa- Here are few
facts that are given out by persons
who have taken the trouble to look
the matter up. The rural free de-
livery service was established in
1896. and the first year they cost
the government $4,000, last year
they cost s54,000.O00. In 1907,
the last figures obtainable, there
we're 90 ,216 mail carriers who served
100000 people and in doing SO
they travelled over ZOO, 10000
To this vast number of people they
delivered 1000, 900, 900 pieces Of
mail. 1t is safe to say that they
now deliver twice that amount of
mail, as in many sections the mail
delivered by the rural carriers has
nearly doubled in the last few years.

STIFF NECK.

Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck. 1t is
usually confined to one side, or to
the back of the neck and one side.
While it is often quite painful, quick
relief may be had by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment. No one case of
rheumatism in ten requires internal
treatment When there is no fever
and no swelling as in muscular and
chronic rheumatism, Chamberlain's
Liniment will accomplish more than
any internal treatment.

DEATH.

Capt. Sebastian S. Sumter of stoto-
ourg' died last night at the Sumter
f1ospltal, where he had been under
treatment for the past three weeks
MS oeath was the result Of general
oreak down of the system due to the
ihhrmities of extreme age.
Mr.. Sumter was in his eighty-ninth
year. having been born in Brazil in
september, 1920, his father then being
resident in that country as the min
lister Of the United States. His father
was Col. Thomas Sumter, son OF Cen.
Thomas Sumter, the great part,sa n
ieader OF the Revolutionary war and
many years Senator from South Caro-
ina, and his mother the Countess De
Large. Mr.. Sumter was a veteran of
the Mexican war having served with
the famous Palmetto Regiment and
participated in the battles around the
City Of Mexico.
The greater part Of his long life was
spent at his ancestral home in the
high hills Of Santee, near Stateburg
and in his latter years he lived in
comparative retirement, seldom leav-
ing home.
He is survived by three sons Messrs.
Thomas S. Sumter, John R. Sumter.
snd Wallace Sumter, one grandson,
Mr. Thomas Sumter, Of Charleston,
and three granddaughters, Mrs. H. L.
Tisdale. Mrs. Herbert Haynsworth and
Miss Beatrice Sumter
The funeral was held at Stateburg
at o'clock this afternoon, Rev. H. H.
Covington Of this city conducting. The
interment was made in the Sumter
family burying ground, where the re-
mains of his distinguished ancestors
are.

TILLMAN ON TAFTS PLAN.
Is Opposed to Breaking of the Solid
South.

New York, April Ex-senator Ben
.amin r. Tillman talked on the Taft
policy Of breaking up the solid South
tonight before a dinner of the South
Carolinians at the Hotel Knicker-
booker. Senator Tillman does not
approve of 1t and he said so without
making much ado over it.
"Im not the sort" said he, "that
likes to throw boquets at anybody
I'd rather throw rocks instead" Then
he got to it. There is one thing that
is on my mind, and it stays there
most of the time. 1t boils up once
In while and when I'm called on to
make a speech, why. 1t just naturally
comes to the surface. I mean the
problem, the South's problem. the
problem Of the Sphinx.
why Is the South solid? Why does
1t always vote the Democratic ticket
We are in the minority. Why should
the other fellow be coming along now
and try to bamboozle us and lead us
Off after false gods after all these
years? Why the Democratic ticket
the Democratic ticket in this day and
time? Why do vote for the Democ-
racy? Because I'm a white man.
That's why.
Taft thinks seriously and earnest
ly that it would be good to have the
South split up. 1t would be a grea!
thing for this Republican grab game
in Washington. He says the election
laws that the Southern States have
passed have made us free Of this
black peril, and that it would be well
fpr us to get some Of the good that
domes from being members of the
dominant party?
"You might think. II you only think
on the surface, that there are bone.
fits to be derived from what Mr.. TAT;
urges"

given the fire was already far ad-
vanced and Il was impossible to save
the house or any OF the contents.
The house which was valued at s2.-

FIRE IN THE COUNTRY.

Mr.. Mason Reams' House Burned
Wednesday.
The residence of Mr.. Mason Reames
three and half miles east Of this
city was burned Wednesday afternoon
between three and four o'clock. The
house was total loss and only a por-
ton Of the furniture and household
effects were saved. The fire started
from the stove flue and was beyond
control before it was discovered. The
house was insured for $500 but will
not cover the loss by one half.

Raising Corn as Well as Cotton I'm

Cotton is still King down sou.h

enormous balances TO Europe, for
the expense and purchases OF tourists
Tor goods imported. for transporta-
tion by sea and for interest on for
eign money invested In the United
States. But down South King Cotton
has occupied the field too exclusively.
1t has been too much the policy to
devote the entire energies of the
planters to that one crop and then
have to use the money received for
cotton to buy things that ought to
have been raised at home. The South
Is getting away from this unwise
policy and is paying more attention
to raising corn and other food. In
the ten years ending with 1906 the
production Of corn was nearly 700
100000 bushels greater than in the
previous decade. The corn crop OF
South Carolina alone increased by
over million bushels a year. In
order to still further increase the
crop of that State the Legislature has
| offered a series Of prizes to be award
ed to those who can raise the largest
number Of bushels on one or five
acres. Their are separate prizes for
boys. This is a practical way to
interest farmers in corn growinp and
to secure the use of the best seed
and the best methods Of fertilizing
and cultivating. The contests held
In former years. have been Of inn
mense value to the State in dollars
| and cents. as has been demonstrated
by their influence upon the remark
| able advance made in the value OF
the corn crop in South Carolina in the
last two years." The production Of
corn naturally suggests the produc-
tion Of bacon, and when that is done
the people will have bread and meat.

cotton crop.-Baltimore Sun.

NAIROBI. British East Africa, May 3.
To the accuracy with the rife attained
by Colonel Roosevelt, two members OF
his party owe their lives today. As a
result. the praises of the distinguished
American are being chanted, not only by
his own party. but by all of the big
hunters.

reached here. two OF the party, a white
man, whose name is not given, and a
native were beating the hunting
grounds. when they suddenly stumbled
upon a lion, crouched ready to spring.

They wheeled their horses and started
10 fee. but as the b-ute's muscles
quivered for the spring a shot rang out,
and the lion fell dead
Colonel Roosevelt had followed the
beaters closely, and, taking snap aim.
sent a bullet through the brain OF the
lion-the biggest of the entire Kill.
