Macon. Ca, March 23.-The suit
Drought by the State of Georgia
against the Central of Georgia rail-

'scms Of Interest Gathered In and
Around the City.

Camp James d. Blanding, Sons of
Veterans. has forwarded $3O9.75 to
The State for the Monument to the
Women OF the Confederacy. The
money is still coming in and Camp
Dick Anderson, U. c. w.. is still to
report. The indications are that the
contribution of Sumter County will
approximate $3.50. If all the other
counties of the State will now do
their share a handsome monument
can be erected.
In spite of the fact that 1t was de-
cided at the baseball meeting to do
nothing until April 18th. some of the
enthusiastic fans started out on
Tuesday to raise a fund for the ball
team and in short time subscrip-
tions amounting to more than $500
were secured. This is a fairly good
beginning. but at least $4,000 will be
needed to finance a league team this
season.
Mr.. Dolph Mannheim went to Bish-
opville Monday to assist in serving
the banquet given at the DuRant Ho-
tel. that afternoon by the Bar of
Bishopville in honor Of the visitors
at the dedication Of the Court House,
and the elaborate and tasteful dec
Grafton of the dining room was done
under his direction.
The baseball meeting which was
held in council chamber Monday night
was not generally or largely attended
by the business men of the city, but
the meeting was representative of the
fans and considerable enthusiasm for
ball this summer was manifested. The
situation was discussed from q busi-
ness standpoint and 1t was decided to
take no action in respect to the organ
ization Of team until April 18th. al
which time another meeting will be
held. Mr.. Willie Bultman. President
of the local association, and Vice
President Of the State League, stated
that he had on Sunday received 9
telegram from Rock Hill asking him
to attend meeting in that place
but that he could not attend as
1t was impossible for him to reach
Rock Hill in time to attend the meet
ing. leaving here on Tuesday
Furthermore there is no necessity fol
the immediate reorganization of the
State League. as 1t is impracticable
to begin the season before May goth
and April 18th Is amply early for the
reorganization. Another reason for
the postponement Of the reorganiza-
tion until April 18th is that the Of
ficers OF the local club have not heard
from some Of the players who were
reserved from last year, and until
these men are heard from 1t Is not
deemed advisable to take any steps to
sign a new team. All things constd-
cred there is still the prospect Of league
ball in Sumter this summer and the
nearer the ball season approaches the

Some Suggestions That VIII Help
With Your Christmas Shoppin

It might not be amiss to deal with
the presents which IL might be adj
visable to give mother at Christmas
time. Reference will be made to the
reasonably priced articles, those which
are within the reach of all.
Even for the small sum OF rs cents
there are dozens OF little useful re-
membranes to be had. Dainty white
collars with embroidery inset and
which launder beautifully. are always
acceptable. Plain back combs of shell
are always in good taste and assist In
keeping the stray locks together Very
pretty gilt belt buckles, some of them
prettily chased are marked at 25 cents.
A needle cabinet fitted with needles
Of various sizes are always necessary
to the mother of the family. A cup
and saucer Of floral design and fairly
fine china can be bought for rs cents.
There are ever so many lovely
things that can be bought for a half
dollar Three sheer linen handker-
chiefs of the real Irish product in a
fancy box only cost so cents. The
jewelry stores have plain silver Thin
bles in neat boxes lined with plush.
n hOy ilO 10 always a WCASOAiAO oAOAItNlA
to the linen drawer of any house,
keeper and there are some very pref
ty linen ones, machine made of course.
The back combs at this price are of
better quality of shell, and plain sets
of side combs cost the same. Cut Jet
hat pins and an extra belt, leather
or elastic are always sure to be CRATE
fully received. Wooden mittent in
fancy design at the same price.

hunters, pathfinders, and inventors
that the masses of the people are con-
tent to follow and whom they later
worship and admire. Such men were
Christ, Calico, Columbus, Richard
Wagner, William Lloyd Garrison, and
Henry Bergh. What courageous hunt
ers they were and how the world has
profited by their noble explorations!
A symmetrically developed man or
woman, however, it is difficult to find.
as most of US are specialists in one or
several fields of endeavor. A man may
recognize mis- relationship and obliga-
tions in a certain direction and yet
be entirely oblivious to his duties in
another direction. When we stop to
consider, for instance, that the chief
executive of a great country and a
valiant hunter for truth and justice
can have such q lopsided development
as to engage in hunting campaign of
wanton destruction of animal life for
the sake of gratifying his. personal
whims and caprices, we have fine
example of arrested development and
a plain indication of lost humane edu-
cational opportunities.
While we must all be hunters we
cannot all be pathfinders. However.
we should all contribute our share in
the hunt for a more perfect life, both
physically, mentally, and morally We
should seek avenues for the allevia-
ton of pain and suffering both for the
benefit of man and his dumb brothers.
for after all life is an endless chain.
Poets, as we'll as scientists tell us that
we are al parts of one related whole.
and we should take pleasure in doing
our share of good according to the in
telligence and station in life which we
have achieved.
One Of the greatest fallacies of the
day Is that we must hunt for large
opportunities alone while countless
smaller chances for doing good are
constantly passed by unnoticed. A
darge city like Chicago offers an UNI
surpassed hunting ground for philan-
thropic people, both rich and poor. ne
the man Of means who annually be-
takes himself to hunting game in
neighboring states could but realize
the ruthless suffering he infiicts In
order to satisfy a savage instinct in
herited from past ages, and il he could
further realize how this same hunting
instinct with it's expenditure of time
and money could be directed into
channels of comfort and pleasure to his
less fortunate associates and with a
tnousandfold greater satisfaction to
himself. how glad he would be to make
the change and how much better off
the world would be. If my lady Of
wealth. who is constantly hunting for
new frivolous sensations, could give
expression to her impulses BY looking
up cases OF poverty, cruelty, and me-
elect she would not only Become an
example to be emulated and admired
hut would md therein pleasure
which no other activity can supply.

lenged by any one q visit to Miss

practical gifts. What could be more
appropriate than three pairs OF warm,
wooden hose TO wear during the cold
spell? Plain gloves of French kid in
all shades are to be had in an excel
lent wearing quality. Two large lawn
aprons tucked and trimmed with en-
broidery would save many a spot.
Warm slippers with felt soles, and
quilted satin uppers. only cost 81. II
she has no overshoes. pair OF long
cloth leggings only cost 81. A long
chiffon veil which keeps the hat Sc
cure and protects the forehead on a
blustery day is also another desirable
gift.
AT $3.50 the choice seems ilIinft-
able. A hadr brush with stiff bristles
will be appreciated where It is needed.
There are beautiful linen sideboard
scarfs and tray cloths marked at this
figure. Silver bon bon dishes, tiny
pieces OF cut glass and china berry
bowls are sure TO be welcomed in the
average home, and they cost $3.50.
Mocha mitts with warm lining. white
blouse lengths and lovely sets of
combs come in this list
Warm underwear will always bring
comfort and help in retaining health.
When there are 80 to be spent, four
yards Of nice, soft silk at SO cents a
yard will make shirt waist. 1t Ia
obtainable in all the wanted shades.
Pretty lace collar and cuff sets are
dear to the heart of the elderly wo-
man. Other articles at the same price
are leather handbags, white wash
blouses. fancy belts, cushions, and
books OF household helps.

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptoms That Should
Not BE Disreaarded.

Appetite is just a natural desire of
the system for food necessary to re-
place natural body waste. LOSS OF
appetite. or stomach distress after
eating indicates indigestion or dyspep-
sia. Over eating is a habit very dan
gerous to a. persons good general
health, and Unsuitable appetite is a
common symptom of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that win create
sickness or cause more trouble than
disordered stomach, and many peo-
pie daily contract serious maladies
simply through disregard or abuse of
the stomach.
We urge every one suffering from
any stomach arrangement, indigestion
or dyspepsia, whether acute or
chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, with the distinct understand
ing that we will refund their money
without question or formality, IL af-
ter reasonable use OF this medicine
they are not satisfied with the results.
We recommend them to our Gus
toners every day, and have yet to
hear of any one who has not been
benefited by them.
We honestly believe Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets to be without equal.
They are made from the prescription
of physician who devoted his time
to the study and treatment OF stomach
troubles. They give very prompt re-
lief stimulating the secretion OF gas
trio juices, strengthen the digestive
organs, aid to good digestion and as
similation. regulate the bowels, and
promote nutrition.
We urge you TO try 26-cent box
OF HexaIl Dyspepsia Tablets, which
give 10 days treatment At the end
OF that time your money will be re-
turned to you II you are not satisfied.
OF course, In chronic cases length Of
treatment varies. For such cases we
have two larger Hfzes, which sen FOR

might bring conviction, or, better still,
a visit to the Anti Cruelty office in
La Sale street, or one of the numerous
other benevolent organizations in the
city doing active work, will convince
any one of the truth of the argument.
Come with us almost any day and
join the hunt for wretched. worn out.
limping, sore, and suffering horses
that may be seen on the city streets,
especially in the poorer quarters: do
something to alleviate the overwork-
ed, overdriven, and cruelty treated
beasts of burden, and YOU will have
the satisfaction Of having done one
of the most unselfish pieces of bene-
violence for which you will not receive
any thanks, but which will make you
feel far better than if you had hunted
wild animals for. sport. Get the habit
of opening your eyes and ears to the
many Irregularities and wrongdoings
Of those who hunt for ricnes alone
and learn to report violations of the
law made in defense of the helpless.
Do not be a case OF arrested develop
ment, but help establish the fashion Of
hunting for truth, righteousness. and
justice.

mo TROUBLE To
BUY PRESENTS
GREAT AND UNLIMITED VARIETY
OF ARTICLES THIS YEAR
WHEN IN DOUBT BUY LEATH-
ER-eLAssWARE is ALSO VERY
POPULAR.

AS far as Christmas presents go.
nothing can be more attractive than
the output this year.
No woman need stand, pencil in
hand, wildly wondering what she can
buy for her friends. She will be con-
fused, If anything, by the wonderful
variety.
when in doubt buy leather" seems
to be the universal motto, for this is
distinctly a leather year. Instead Of
having all the useful things we need
incased in silver, behold them in
leather! This is either morocco or
pigslxin, the latter in the natural tones
and the former gorgeous in red, Yale
blue, violet and myrtle green. In pig
skin the twoa articles here illustrated
are fine gifts for men. The shoe
blacking outfit, indeed, could be Civ
en- to the tailor made girl as well,
but the trim little case for brush and
comb will be appreciated by the trav-
cling man who does not want to both
er with fitted case.
Perhaps the greatest leather novel
ty is the wicker and morocco work
basket, the lower part being Of wicker
and the top morocco. Inside the lid
are holders for scissors, bodlSins,
needles, etc. Then there is top tray
for spools, and the lower half is left
for hooks and eyes and tapes of diff
ferent kinds.
The leather writing portfolio is q
useful gift for any woman, and so is
the little leather jewel box, which
sells for as low as 1925 for the small
size, as well as the leather covered
clock, whisk broom and glove box.
In buying these things one should
match the room in which they are to
be used or the other leather articles
which the friend possesses already.
Glassware is also very popular, es-
pecially when the article is or
namented with a fretwork of silver
It is possible for the same price to
get something twice as large and
handsome in this combination than If
it were all made of silver, and entire
toilet sets, very stunning ones, are
also made in this fashion. Desk sets
are made in the same effect, only cop
per and green ware are used with the
glass.
