| Tainted Breath
 Highly DisagresabIl
A Quick and Permanent Relief for This
 Trouble at Small Expense.

There are many thousands of people ! who are the unfortunate possessors of offensive and obnoxious breath. which | has its origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh. or an unhealthy condi- tion of the stomach or decay of the teeth. and when these persons realize they are the victims of such an un- desirable possession. they frequently feel constrained to remain off to them selves the greater part of the time. | because they understand only too well how disagreeable it must be to others I with whom they come in contact.
 For it is an undeniable fact that people will comment on. and criticise the person whose breath is foul and offensive. Very frequently we hear the comment, "So-and-so is a most agree able companion: an interesting talker. ! with a large fund of information; Is well-posted on world history and the biographies of many of the celebrities; can talk fluently on current topics; is an accomplished musician and litera- teur; and would be a most desirable addition to any social gathering. eX- cept for the fact that his or her breath is so extremely offensive. that persons of refinement. good breeding and deli cate sensibilities do not care to come into contact with them"
 And very naturally, too, for an Ob- noxious breath taints the very atmos- phere. and affects the persons surround ing the affected one in way which is positively nauseating.
 There is no longer any excause for a person however foul and offensive their breath may be, of inflicting it's obnoxiousness upon the delicate nos trils and olfactory nerves of others.
 Charcoal, the great absorbent, is the ideal remedy for conditions described herein. and in STUARTS CHARCOAL LOZENGES we have the very best form in which charcoal may be taken. These little loZenges absorb one hund red times their own volume in foul gases and tainted breaths. and besides deodorizing and purifying the breath and rendering it sweet and agreeable, they also act as antiseptics and cleans CTS of the stomach and intestinal sys- tenn. absorbing all offensive gases which may be present there, destroy ing disease germs, poisons and mi- crobes. and putting a stop to such mor- bid processes as fermentation and de- composition in cases of chronic dys- pepsia and intestinal indigestion.
 Don't allow yourself to be kept out of company of your friends because you may be so unfortunate as to have offensive breath from any cause. Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. and you may rest assured that your trouble will be removed thoroughly and rapidly.

DECORATIONS FOR HOLIDAY FUNCTIONS
Asparagus, if Not Frost Bitten, Makes
 Good Substitute for Holly

At this season of the year there is a deal of skurrying around for. Christ mas decorations. This part of the world is more favored with green foliage than many places, but the par ticular things that have been asso- ciated with Christmas festivities for generations, are found in greater abundance in other climes A few things like holly berries cannot be dis pensed with and if the real thing can not be procured there must be a sub stitute As well try to have Thanks giving without turkeys as Christmas without holly berries, real or imita . ton
 Along with the necessary decora- tions there is desirable a liberal amount of greenery of almost any kind so long as it is pretty. In the aspara- gus plant which grows here so finely many may find both greenery and holly berries. if they are not too par ticular about their genuineness. The asparagus that is allowed to mature makes very pretty substitute both for ferns and holly berries Some of the asparagus was badly nipped by the recent frost and some of it did not ma ture the little red berries that look so much like holly. but there is undoubt edly enough of it somewhere in the valley for all who will want it. ih they will just think about it and order it in time. Mrs. J. K. Wheat, of the Riverside nursery, at the foot of First avenue, says she has over an acre of asparagus that was only partly frost ed and some of the frosted plants look pretty in contrast, many of them be- ing heavily laden with berries. She expects to make little pin money out of her asparagus that way, as others probably will also.
 One sort of decoration that is always popular any time between Thanksgiv- ing and New Years is mistletoe and in that interesting plant Arizona is wonderfully favored. There are great quantities of it in the mesquite and palo verde trees of this section and in considerable variety Anybody who wants mistletoe bad enough to go out on the desert and look for it. can se- cure all he has any use for.

There should, of course, be some fine navels, but variety is wanted also and any kind of nice citrus fruit will be wei comed.

HABITS CHAIN. Certain Habits UnconscioUsly Formed and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power neces- sary to break lifelong habit would. if it could be transformed, lift weight of man-' tons.
 It sometimes requires a higher de- gree of heroism to break the chains of d pernicious habit than to lead for lorn hope in bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town:
 From my earliest childhood I was q lover Of coffee Before I was out of my teens was a miserable dyspeptic. suffering terribly at times with my stomach. -sst
 T was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for break fast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health. indeed. My sister told me T was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard
 But | never could give up drink ing coffee for breakfast although it kept me constantly i'll, until I tried Postum. l learned to make it properly according to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast, and care nothing at all for coffee.
 T am no longer troubled with dys- pepsia. do not have spells of suffering with m stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee"
 Look in pkgs. for the little book, The Road to Wellville." There's a Reason"
 Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time 60 time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

CASE is NOT FINISHED

Capt. MCRee.

At s o'clock last night after being
out two hours without having agreed
upon verdict, the jury in the trial
OF the negro, Henry Patterson, foI
murder seemed tied up for the night

near Americus in July last, the homi-
eide occurring near PattersOn's house
An array of witnesses, both for the
state and defense, testified regarding
the killing.
One of these, Bernice Patterson,
daughter of the defendant, told an en-
tirely different tale yesterday from
her sworn testimony before the
grand jury and the coroner. and was
Immediately sent to Jail upon the
traight charge of perjury.
Patterson's brother, Alf Patterson
was also jailed yesterday, along with
his niece, charged with subornation OF
perjury
The evidence upon which the de-
fense relied chiefly was that of "un-
written law" the purpose being to JUS
tify, in large measure the act of the
defendant. The trial was entered upon
early in the day, the case going to the
jury at o'clock.
The trial of the case attracted quite
throng of spectators to the court
room.

SOIL EXPERTS CHARMED
WITH SUMTER COUNTY
Realizes Its Vast Develop
ment Possibilities.
Force of Four Men Will
Probably Be at Work
Here Four Months.

Mr.. j. c. Britton, the government
soil expert, who is to have charge of
the work of making a soil map of the
county of Sumter, has gone over the
county in general way, getting some
idea of its area and general nature Of
the soil. He is now awaiting the ar
rival of Mr.. Welsh, who is to assist
him, and also the coming of some of
the apparatus not yet received.
1t is probable that couple ofother
soil map makers will be sent here,
making a force of four men employed
on the work. Even with this force 1t
will probably be the end of April be-
fore they will have wound up their
| labors in Sumter and be ready to take
up a similar task elsewhere.
The first work of the experts, Mr.
Britton stated yesterday, would be 70
| make up a county base map. The
roads and streams will be surveyed
and shown on this map, together with
the railroads. The map will be on the
| scale of one and quarter inches to the
mile, that being adequate to give a
| general idea of the soils of the county
when it is completed. The swamps
| will all be shown in distinct color,
! but the general topography of the
| county is not made a feature Of the
map.
Every farm in the county will De
visited, together with the lands not
under cultivation. No soil is shown
unless it is characteristic OF at least
ten acres in the area where it is found.
A ten-acre patch of specific soil can
be INDICATED on the map, although the
coloring would be little more than q
dot. AS a general rule, though, the
obstructive soils are found in much
larger areas and are easily and clear
ly printed, so that when completed
the nature of the soil in every part
the county MS recognizable.
Mr.. Bftston is anxious to secure the
hearty cooperation of the farmers
throughout the county 1t will be
necessary for him or those, assisting
aim to visit every farm and bore for
soil samples. The planters can nat
urally give considerable information
about the soil, the results they have
had in planting various crops. the fer
tilizers used, etc. All this informa-
tion will be of value in preparing the
pamphlet which is 20 accompany the
map.
1t will probably be a year from now
before the map and pamphlet are pub
lished and ready for distribution.
Copies will then be sent free to any
one applying for them. The map and
pamphlet will be particularly valu
able in efforts making to bring white
farmers to settle in Sumter county,
giving an entirely unprejudiced state
ment of the actual facts.
From what 1 have seen of Sumter
county so far 1 think it is a county
capable of marvellous development
in an agricultural way" said Nc.

magnificent section round about

BOTtl SIDES CLAIM
TO BE CONFIDENT.
But Many Think Split Tick

Close Fight is Locked
For and Campaign
Will Quickly
Warm Up.

Yesterday came the real opening
of the local political campaign, the
preliminary announcement of which
was the naming of the two tickets ou
Tuesday night On both sides there
were evidences of active work and
expressions of confidence in the re
suit Each side professed Itself thor
oughly satisfied with the meeting Of
the previous night, each had reports.
1t claimed, that indicated that it would
win, and each side was carefully
watching for moves on the part of its
opponent.
1t is estimated by political calcula-
tors that the side that polls three
hundred votes will win There are
not a few, not partisan in a strict
sense. who freely predict that a split
ticket will be elected, that there is q
large body of voters who will reserve
the right to support friends on either
ticket, or the men they have the most
faith in, and that the result will ac-
cordingly not be known until the
final ballot is counted OF course each
side will endeavor 10 put its solid
ticket through but scratching seems
to be expected on a liberal scale.
The only meeting so far announced
is that Of the Greater Americas
Club which expects to meet on next
Monday night. This is the name of
the organization that nominated the
Peoples ticket, Messrs. Brown, Ell
bridge and Sherlock The Citizens
ticket managers have not as yet an
nounced any meeting, but it is likely
that they, too, will have a mass meet
ing before the election is pulled off
It's candidates, Messrs. Allen, Rodgers
and Bolton, were actively circulating
among their friends yesterday. All
candidates and their warm friends are
expected to do considerable cam
paigning In a quiet way the next five
