CARRIERS TO UNITE IN
MOVEMENT FOR ROADS
To Cooperate With Georgia
Roads Club.

Sumter,s rural mail carriers, with
those of every county in the state
win be represented in considerable
numbers at the good roads conven.
ton to be held in Atlanta Nov. 10 un-
der the auspices of the Good Roads
Club of Georgia.
The bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of AgricuI-
ture will send one Of its experts there
for the meeting several prominent
speakers have been secured, and the
meeting promises to prove one of spe-
cial interest
The rural free delivery carriers of
the state are especially interested in
this movement.
President White of the club has APP
pointed an r. F. D. carrier in every
county as a committee to look after
membership in his county, and make a
report on the condition of the roads
and what is being done to improve
them.
The Postofflce Department takes in-
terest in road Improvement and de-
mands that the roads on which routes
are kept up be maintained at good
standard. In several instances routes
have been discontinued on account of
bad roads.
This fact will furnish an additional
incentive to the counties of the state
to keep their roads in order, as the
rural mail service has come to be in
dispensable

PRICE TAKES A BOUND:
LOOKS LIKE Ia CENTS
Soaring Monday. to Highest
Point Reached.

With but 5,550,O00 bales cotton mar
keted TO date, as shown by the bu-
reau report issued yesterday, it was
not surprising that prices again went
soaring, and to the highest point at
tanned this season. The crop report
surprised even the most complacent
grizzly" in the Americus den, and
created an instant and earnest de-
mand for the fieecy staple Five and
half million bales at this date is the
smallest receipts on record, and points
Enthusiastically to an exceedingly short
general crop and most amazing
prices little later, when the bear
gang realize fully the alarming stu
alton. Prices in the Americus mar
ket jumped up a quarter cent yester-
day with the publication of the gov
ernment report of .5,550,000 bales,
and has just started upon steady
climb towards IA, 15-probably 16-
cents; no one knows just how high
eventually. Following the report yes
terday, good cotton sold in Aniericus
at 13 SIS to 13 3-4 cents for the finer
grades. January contracts closed
steady at 1920 cents, strong gain
in that position.

QUART AT EACH MEAL
MAKES YOU FAT.
University Experts Say lis
the Real Thing.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Add at least d
quart of water to the amount GUS
tomarily taken at each meal, if yoa
wish to derive the maximum efficiency
from your food. If you are thin, or
betWixt and between, and wish to
gain weight. you cannot find a more
ideal regime than of drinking water
in abundance at meals.
However, if you are inclined toward
embonpoint-well, draw your own
conclusions.
The drinking water edict has gone
forth as the result of the tests re-
Gently conducted by G. c. Fowler and
p. B. Hawk, professors of psysiologi-
cal chemistry at the University of Illi-
nois.
The results these investigators have
obtained were reported short time
ago before the American Medical AS
sociation at its annual meeting in At
lantic City, and still more recently
before the American Chemical Society
The unanimous opinion of the &edi-
cal profession has been strongly an
tagonistic to the taking of water at
meal time. The argument of the ply
sicians is that water taken in this
way dilutes the digestive juices, and
therefore lowers the efficiency of those
fluids. The University of Illinois ex-
periments, however, apparently over
throw the deep-rooted ideas of many
doctors.
In a detailed statement given out
by the university authorities, it was
| pointed out that the subject of the ex-
pertinent was a young man % years
| of age, who was normal in all re-
spects and who weighed 157 pounds
when the investigation was inaugu-
rated.
AS a result of drinking a quart Of
water with each meal the subject
gained two pounds in five days.
DR.. Hawk, in reporting the results
| of the investigation, was careful to
call attention to the fact that the ex-
periments included tests upon but a
single subject, and claims that fur
| tfler studies must be made of other
individuals before he can lay down
hard and fast rules as to copious
water drinking.

THERE'S NO RISK.
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit,
You Pay Nothing.

You Pay Nothing.
A physician who made a specially
of stomach troubles, particularly dys-
pepsia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets leads us to believe them
to be the greatest remedy known for
the relief of acute indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients
are soothing and healing to the in
famed membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin, one of the
greatest digestive aids known to
medicine. The relief they afford is
almost immediate. Their use with per-
sistency and regularity for short
time brings about a cessation of the
pains caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will In
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence of
our sincere faith In ReXalI Dyspepsia
sTablets, we ask you to try them at
our risk. If they do not give entire
satisfaction, we will return you the
money you paid us for them, with
out question or formality. They come
in three sizes, prices 25 cents, so
cents and $1.00. Remember you can
obtain them only at our store-The

FARMERS CAN HAUL WATER
WITH ENGINE ON SUNDAY
Traction Engine Not Construed as
Freight Train

Forbidden to drive traction engine
on Sunday for the purpose of carrying
water to his stock, by order of the
County Commissioners, a South Geor-
gia citizen appealed to the Railroad
Commission for relief The objection
by the authorities was that a traction
engine so used was a freight train, and
freight trains could not be run in
Georgia on Sunday.
1t seems that the applicant for re-
lief used his engine during the week
for hauling logs to his sawmill. On
Sunday he used the engine to carry
water to his stock
Chairman Hill looked up the decis-
ions and declared that a traction en-
gine so used was not a freight train
and did not come under the provisions
of the law forbidding freight trains to
run on Sunday. The decision was rem
dered to the effect by the Supreme
Court in the case of McNeal versus
the state.
The decision is victory for the
farmer and his thirsty mules.

STRUCK ON LIMB BY PIECE
OF A METEORITE
Strange Accident From Missile Hurled
From Heavens.

Providence, r. l., Oct. 25.-Waltel
McIvers was struck on the leg by what
Is believed to be a small section of 8
meteorite. The stone, which is Stag
came through the large plate glass
window of James F'lanagan's cafe or
Pine street. The hole it made in the
glass is clean-cut, as if caused by q
bullet. McIvers suffered from pair
and heat, as the stone was red hot.
Soon another piece Of the meteorite
which fitted exactly to the one which
struck McIvers, was found in Pine
street. A black fissure ran through
the two pieces, and the section had ev-
identity been split In two as the win
dow was struck.
A party OF fishermen coming VI
Narragansett Bay saw what appeared
to be meteorite exploding in midair
some of the fragments falling in the
bay and others flying over toward the
city. When the fragments hit the wa
ter a column of water so feet high was
thrown up, to the accompaniment of {
sound like escaping steam.

form AN ALLIANCE
TO BEAT CANNON.
Insurgents and Democrats
to Join Hands.

Washington, Oct. 25.-There is a
compact between the Democrats of the
house and the so-called Republican
insurgents" to control the organiza-
ton of the next house. This was re-
vealed today by Southern member of
the house, who will not consent to the
use of his name, but who has served
ten years, and is high in his party's
councils.
This compact contemplates throw
ing the insurgent votes to Champ
Clark for speaker in the sixty-seeond
congress in case the Democrats do net
themselves have a majority in the
house. 1t contemplates concert of ac-
ton between the insurgents and the
Democrats in the remaining sessions
of the sixty-f1rst congress.
Instead of walking out of a party
convention, or in some other way for
mally severing their connection with
their party, these insurgent Republic
ans, according to the statement of this
Democrat, will claim allegiance to
the Republican party, be elected as
Republicans to the sixty-second con-
gress and then desert in the organiza-
ton of the house. They propose to
make "Cannonism" their excuse for
such action.
If the plan outlined by the Southern
Democratic congressman is carried
out, the insurgents will read them
selves out of the party
There is no doubt the Republican
congressional committee will take
cognizance of this alliance between
the Democrats and the insurgent Re-
publicans, Representative Mckinley
of Illinois, chairman of this commit
tee, is understood to be already pre-
pairing campaign against these men,
bers, at least TO the extent of seeing
that no aid is given them in securing
denominations. Still more direct op-
position will probably ensue. II the
action of the insurgents bears out the
Southern Democrats predictions in
the coming session, way will be
found to carry the fight into their dis
tricts and compel them to sail under
their adopted party flag.

$4,000 WAS PAID FOR

desirable land off their large DeSoto
place of 5000 acres, which. as well

many others from the Palmetto state,

Shipment OF $4,000 Bales Valued at

/ Nearly the entire crop of cotton re-

ed by the cargo carried aboard sin
gle steamship leaving Savannah yes
terday. This huge ship, the Indian,
carried $4,000 bales of cotton, practi-
cally all of which weighs considerably
over the average 500 pound bale. II
is calculated that the steamer carries
an equivalent of 23,600 500-pound
bales. This at the current price OF
cotton is worth 81 ,625,088. In addition
the vessel carries 700 barrels of rosin
worth $4,000. This makes the value of

 Josephine, empress of the French. was Yeyette to her intimate friends. Her name in reality was Marie Josephe Rose. Napoleon after the marriage exacted that she should be known as Josephine. He had a mania for re- baptizing the women of his entourage He made his sister Marianne an Elise, of Annonciade a Caroline, of Paulette Pauline.
 Among her numerous friends Joseph inc remained ,Yeyette. Barras never called her otherwise.
 The pope was so unfamiliar with her name that when he sent his bene- diction the letter borne by hls legate was addressed to Our Sister In Jesus Christ, Victoria Bonaparte.
 In 1S14. on the departHC for Elba, the Debats designated Josephine under the paraphrase "the mother of Prince Eugene"
 At Ruell her tomb bears this simple inscription, A Josephine. Eugene ct Hortense, 1925" The restoration did not permit her recognition as empress. -Cri de Paris.

The Substitution.

It is well known fact that both Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir ". 5. Gilbert had horror of the titles of their operas becoming known until the very night of their performance. This fear that they might be forestalled ere ated considerable confusion at the in;- tial production of .Iolanthe; or The Peer and the Peri" The opera was rehearsed for weeks under the title of "Perola." It was only at the dress rehearsal that the company was in- structed to substitute the name "1o- lanthe" for that of 'sPero.a" wherever 1t occurred in the text or lyrics. It was no easy task to replace vocally and in the dialogue q name of three syllables for one of four. Sullivan. however. said (maybe aside3 to one or two of the actors who were nervous: "Go ahead and sing the music. GIL. bert won't be In front" (Gilbert never attended the 0rst night.
