BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

MY little son. when about q year
and q half old. began to have sores
come out on his face. had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts OF
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then |
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end OF about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
SO bad that | had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton.

Value Of EgQs.

In a paper read before the French
Academy o. Science. Prof. Balland
showed by new and exhaustive an.
alysis. the value OF eggs as food and
the enormous consumption OF this
product Of the domestic hen. He
showed that IS per cent. OF the egg
has a nutritive value; the rest is
water. Ten eggs without the shells
equals Just about one pound avoirdu-
pois Of meat. During n year Paris
consumed 53s. 600. 900 eggs. or some
thing near $4,000 dozens every day.
On the basis mentioned these eggs are
equivalent to the meat from 1851 900
steers per annum. figures that are al

WILL BUILD Up IN TWO WAYS.

The good roads now being con
ErUcted VIII work in two different
direcdons-taey win build up the pop
ulatlon Of Americas from the country
and at the same time they VIII build
up the population Of the country dis
trIcts, they VIII draw to Americas from
the country and they win send out
from Americus TO the country, as well
as draw TO the country people from
other sections.
One unQuestionable effeq. Of the
good roads viii be to permit men tc
live in the city and easily conduct
farming operations several miles away.
The good roads and the autos have
made even long distances a matter Of
but few minutes time, now. As
result, men with children ready for
the higher grades Of the public schools
VIII be tempted TO remove their
families TO the city 70 enjoy the ad-
vantages offered here in an educa-
tional way. Others, too, whose
families prefer the city life viii, in
all probability find It convenient 10
live in the CITY and at the same time
conduct their agricultural operations.
On the other hand, the man in the
city who loves country life now finds
it advantageous to live in the county
and crafty his desires. Several
Americus families, it viii be recalled,
have either moved TO the country or
are arranging to do so, having Sc
cured places on good roads that are
within five or ten minutes run in
an auto. This trend of families to the
country may be expected to increase
with the settling up Of the country and
the extension Of the good roads sys-
TEN.
Another effect that the good roads
win have toward increasing the coun-
try population IS the inevitable trend
toward smaller plantations when land
values go up. The rapid increase in
values in Sumter incident to the good
roads and other contributing causes
WI lead to many smaller farms Of
100 to 300 or 400 acres. These smaller
places viii be made TO blossom like a
garden and wiz be found highly profit
able. The good roads viii be the direct
means Of bringing in desirable set,
tiers to occupy SUCH farming prop
critics.
Still another result Of the improved
is seen in the closer rela-
tons established between the city and
the country Automobiles are becom-
ing as common in the smaller towns
and the open country, proporHonately.
as in the larger cities. In a short time
all Of the leading planters Of Sumter

men outside of the city. Their families
VIII use them extensively in visiting
the city on business and social pur-
poses. The ties hat bind Americas
to all parts Of Sumter county, and as
well to the adjacent counties, will be
as a result. Already 1t
is not uncommon for residents ten
to twenty or more miles away to run
into the city at various times to shop,
to visit friends, to attend the theatre,
or on Sundays to attend religious serv- /
ices. This tendency viii rapidly in

THE STRADDLE IN INDIANA.

The action Of the Republican state
convention in Indiana reminds one
very much Of the old saying about con
demning the sin but loving the sinner
The official gathering Of the party in
Indiana refused to approve the A1drich
bill but endorsed protection. IN ef-
feet It reDudiated recent legislation
while adhering to tie very principles
on which that legislation was based.
At the same time it endorsed the ad-
ministration which stood for the legis-
lation that It declined to put the
stamp of its approval upon.
If there was anything needed &c
convince the world that the Republican
party is in an apologize state, this
action Of the state convention in In
diana would furnish it. Senator Bey-
eridge seemed to be a sort Of popular
idol with the convention and received
a thorough endorsement at its hands
Yet Beverage is one Of the harshese
critics Of the recently enacted tariff
law that the senate holds. He has in
sisted that it did not comply with
what the party had promised to the
people. President Taft has on several
occasions insisted that it did meet
the party pledges, and that the only
weakness was the failure to lower
the wooden schedules.
The Republicans Of Indiana accord
ingly occupy the anomalous position
of endorsing, in one and the same
platform, President Taft's stand on the
tariff and the contrary position Of
Senator Beverage, Of pointing with
pride to the party record at Washing
ton and at the same time refusing to
endorse the biggest piece of legisIa-
ton the party has attempted in num-
Der of years. That this viii hold 1t
up TO ridicule on the stump when the
state campaign gets in progress IS, Of
course, inevitable. A straddle like this
unquestionably weakens the party in
the eyes of all intelliger men.
Indiana was once rock-ribbed
Democratic state Then it became a
doubtful state, with just as much
chance of its going Democratic as
Republican. In the past three cam
paigns its people have repudiated
Organism and given its electoral vote
to the Republicans. It now las a
Democratic state administration,
though, and the state seems ready to
swing back into the Democratic
column. With division in the Republic
can ranks this is plainly probable if.
the Democratic party does not destroy
its own chances Of success.
It will be interesting now to watch
developments in other states. It Is
quite probable that the same subter-
fuge viii be adopted in number Of
them, a fiat refusal to endorse the
Payne-Aldrich measure, and at the
same time a hearty reafirmation Of
devotion to the excessive protective
principle that has battened trusts up
on the land until the average man
wonders whether he will soon be able
to get one square meal day.

DREAMER OF DREAMS.

We are the music makers,
And We are the dreauers Of dreams
4 breath Of our inspiration
Is the life Of each general. on;
4 wouderous thing Of our dreaming
Enearthly, impossible seeming
The soldier, the king, and the peasant
Are working together in one,
TIL one dream shall become their
present,
And their work n the world be done.
They had 10 vision amusing
Of the goodly house they are raising;
They had no divine foresl0WiIg
OF the land 10 which they are going;
But on one mans soul il hath broken
4 lig1r thai doth not depart,
and his look, or a word he lata
spoken.
Wrought fame in another mans heart,
And therefore today IS thrilling
With a past days late fulfilling.
And the mulcitudes are enlisted
In the faith thai Their fathers resisted,
And, sc0rning the dream Of tomorrow,
Are bringing to pass. as they may,
In the world for its JOY or its sorrow;
The dream that vas scOrned yesterday.
And out Of the infinite morning
Intrepid you hear us cry
How spite Of your human scorulnS,
Once more Gods future draws nigh
And already goes forth the warning
Tat ye Of the past must die.
Great hail, we cry to the Corners
From the dazzling unknown shore.
Bring US hither you can sun your
summers,
And renew our world as OF wore;
You shall teach US your songs new
numbers,
And things that We dreamed nor be-
fore Unknown.
