WATCH THIS SPACE DAILY FOR THE
ADVENTURES OF SAM LIGHTHEART

Sam Lightheart's wife had prospered SO
From the bakery that she ran,
That she cleaned one hundred dollars
Since the day that she began
So, like the goodly wife she was,
She saw the thing to do
Was to invest the money in lot
And make that Sone'' 'stwo'
Now, experience teaches us some things,
And Lightheart's wife knew well
The Call was the paper people used
When they had anything to sell.
So she looked up the ads on real estate
And went and bought lot
And paid the hundred down on it
Before she ID left the spot.
1t wasn't very long until
Values commenced to hum,
So she sold-made fifty on the DEAL
And [ guess that's going some.

Elections Committee Seats South Car

didates are Negroes.

A dispatch from Washington to the
Columbia State under date Of Jan.
5 says:
The three enterprising negroes. Is
aac Myers. Alexander Dantzler and
Aaron P. Prioleau, who contested the
elections of Representatives Patter-
son, Lever and Legare for the $4,000
allowed for contests, got the usual
rundown today. The elections COM
mittee reported in favor of seating
Messrs. Patterson, Lever and Legare.
The only point of difference in the
report from former reports is that
whereas heretofore the committee has
declared only that the three negroe,
were not elected, they this time de-
clared specifically that the three
white men we're elected. The negroes
have ne 'er claimed that they were
elected, >ut that, the election laws of
South Carolina being unconstitution-
al, there was no election at all. Then
for claiming this they claimed the
$4,000.

A man in public life, and especial

times within the Iistrict-but Mr..
Lever received request entirely out
Of the ordinary while here last week.
The request came from a woman-and
it was not proposal either-the kind

Gov. Ansel has issued the following
appeal to the people of South Car

treasurer of the Red Cross society
in this State, Mr.. Jno. B. Reeves Of
Charleston, for the earthquake suf-
ferers in Italy:
"To the People Of South Carolina:

with Its heartrending story of the ter
rible loss of life and destruction of
property, as we'll as the suffering and
want among the living. Our hearts
go out to these in deepest sympathy

as they can to relieve the suffering Of
the earthquake survivors in this, the

first great disturbance until i were
recorded The correspondent saw
one Of them throw down many of the
remaining walls of the city, the en-
suing crash greatly intensifying the
panic of the populace.
The home Of Mr.. Cheney, the
American consul, was crumbled IN
the first shock and it's inmates mex
tricably buried beneath the ruins.
Stuart K. Lupton, the American
vice consul, was in his room at the
Hotel Vittoria when the building was
demolished. His escape was mira
culous one. Wearing only his trous-
ers and carrying his shoes and over
coat in his hands, he groped his way
along the quay, knee keep in water,
toward the American consulate. On
the way he met a woman and a man,
both quite naked, and instinctively
laid his overcoat over the shoulders
Of the woman. Clambering over the
ruins of the consulate he became con-
scious Of the fact that his feet were
bruised and bleeding. Then he wond-
cred why he had carried his shoes IN
his hand. He continued in a state
of bewilderment until he established
himself On a British ship in the ar
Dor. Later he again came ashore and
raised the American flag over the new
consulate in a damaged building, one
Of the few remaining structures in
the outskirts of the city. Then Mr..
Lupton began an industrious search
for Americans.
The first cases Of typhoid fever
have broken out here. This fact will
cause drastic action to be taken i'm
mediately in the disposal of the dead.

South Dakota Leads III Corn

Millions of dollars worth of new

year, according TO the report OF

the state has attained IA state {
prosperity hitherto unknown as
originating in the products Of the

Although the total Of this sta e
is exceeded by the yield of MinnC
sofa and of North Dakota, the
report shows the growing impol
tance Of South Dakota as COZ a
state. 1t produced many moe
millions in corn over either of
these neighbors.
The increase in corn production
in this state is hardly appreciated
by the people who have alway 5
counted South Dakota as ii great
wheat state. 1t has been and still
is, but it is rapidly losing some o
its supremacy to the dominance G
other crops. This is a good SIG
and indicates that the farmers {
