BAGLEY OUT OF RACE
FOR SEAT IN HOUSE.
Pressure of Other Business
Cause Assigned.

Mr.. George w. Bagley has retired
from the race for representative from
Sumter county. This action upon his
part will cause regret to the very
large number Of friends whose cordial
support he would have had, and will
be received by them with no little sur
prise.
Pressure of other business, and
inability to make thorough canvass
OF the county induces this step upon
Mr.. Bagley's part.
In TACT, his candidacy was announc-
ed by a number of Jealous friends, and
probably without having fully consult
ed his wishes in the premises, else
he would not have entered the race al
all.
Mr.. Bagley has large private inter
ests which demand all of his atten-
tion and time and in addition thereto
he is president of the recently organ
lied DeSoto bank. and is now busily
engaged with the erection of bank
building and other affairs connected
Herewith.
For these reasons only Mir. Bagley
deems it best not to enter the legisla-
tive race actively, and therefore after
candidacy of few days only re-
tires.

DARING AVIATOR DROPS
MIMIC BOMBS ON YACHT
CUrtiSs Gives Remarkable Exhibition

Atlantic City, N. j., July 15.-Glenn
Curtiss tossed oranges as mimic bombs
within three feet of the decks of the
yacht John E. Mehrer H., used in
place of a batleship during the sham
battle arranged to show the utility of
aeroplanes in coast defense. The
mock 'bombs" were thrown form a
height of about 800 feet, and Mr.. Cur

PLENTY OF CARS FOR
CROP All AMERICUS.
Orchards HereAre Supplied
Promptly.

Americus fruit shippers have been
afforded every advantage by the rail-
roads here in the prompt supplying of
refrigerator cars for peach ship
ments, and while other points are less
fortunate it is probably the fault of
shippers that cars cannot be had
WHEN wanted.
At Fort Valley and MarshalNille
orchards it is said that thousands of
crates of peaches may be lost because
cars cannot be had there as wanted.
No other shipping points are in like
delimma, so far as known.
The Raymond Orchard Co. has ship
the crop there, while the Ware-Prog-
ress Orchard Co. will probably finish
today with like number of cars gone
forward.
At the Carolina Realty Co.'s orchard
stripping is still in progress with a
total of perhaps thirty or thirty-five
cars Snlpped.
Out at the Bagley-Ray Orchard
Co.'S big packing plant the season is
just at its height and a half dozen
cars are loaded there daily. This
had plenty of refrigerator
cars in its yards yesterday, and
the shipping season has
no difficulty of this kind.
Mr.. H. c. Bagley, of Atlanta, is CIV
ing his personal attention to the
of the Elberta crop, and
while thousands of trees in his mag.
orchard are still bending be-
meath their weight of luscious fruit.
he expresses the belief that the greater
portion of it can be easily handled.
One more week, however, and the
peach season here will have ended.

SARAH BERNHARDT
ON WOMEN SOLDIERS

/ remember, says Bernhardt, in the
August Strand, when | first appeared
as the Due de Reichstadt, | thought
to myself how little disadvantage sex
is to a woman who wishes to play a
distinguished part, not merely on the
stage, but in real life. Women are
emily weak when their characters are
weak. Surely Louis XVI. did not
think women were weak when battal-
ions of them were surrounding his
palace as Versailles. My experience
has shown me that French women are
more resolute, more fearless, more
competent than the women of other
nations. They would not plead their
sex in the face of the enemy. just
as Jaenne dare was born military
leader, so, in case of crisis today,
many women would be found who,
If men were pusillanimous, would cry
with Lady Macbeth: Give me the
daggers!"
