SMILE over
The fine PROSECTS
Everywhere in Georgia They

Il have never seen such an outlook
in Georgia" said genial Tom Slappey
yesterday.
Mr.. Slappey had just come to town
on one of his extended tours through
the state.
4 have traversed the greater part
of the state recently" continued the
former Schley countyite, and no
where have l found anything except
a buoyant spirit. Everywhere the
crops are fine and the promise of q
magnificent yield-all that could be
asked. Optimism rules the roost Il
Georgia and the crouch has taken Il
the back woods. 1t is a case of bet

word good doesn't describe it any
more"
Other travelling men bring in the
same reports. They are simply de
lighted with the prospect for the com

seen the outlook more promising thai
it now appears to be. AS Mr.. Slap

BUILT A CENTURY Ago
HOUSE is STILL THERE
Old Homestead Near AmGri.
Gus is Sold Now

Out from Americas one mile is the
John Speight farm of 185 aces, just
beyond Muckalee turnpike, and upon
the farm is probably the oldest dwell
ing house in this part of the state.
The Speight farm was sold day or
two ago by Arthur S. Westbr0ok TO
IS. c. Kelley, of Americas, and at a
price that a few years ago would have
paid for a river bottom plantation.
Upon the little farm still stands the
hewn pine log house which. &C ord
ing to tradition, has stood there the
better part of a century. The tim
bers ar as sound as a dollar and ten
times better for building purposes
than is the sappy pine chaff used to-
day in constructing houses. The
Speight family has lived on the little
farm as far back as the memory of
the oldest inhabitant can go.

fine RAINS In SUMTER
SAVE The SITUATION
Good Showers in Several
Localities Here

The rain came yesterday, just in
good time to prove of inestimable adj
vantage to the cotton crop which was
showing the effect of ten days of dry
weather, The rain came from the east
and apparently covered a wide scope
to the east and west of Americas.
Here in the city as on the farms It
was greatly needed, not only reducing
the coloric but reviving vegetation ana
settling the dusty streets recently dug
up preparatory to paving. But the
greatest benefit was to the cotton crop,
and if yesterdays rain covered the
county generally a vast deal of good
will result. People here yesterday
from Webster county reported a good
rain there the day before.

WHAT CAUSES FRECKLES, ANJ
HOW THEY MAY Re COM
PLETELY REMOVED,
Wilson's Freckle Cream Does the
Work or Your Money
Refunded.

The medical profession tell US that
freckles are caused by a deposit Of
pigment in numerous small areas, al
though the actual reason for these de-
posits having formed has never been
discovered. The old fallacy, once
freckled. always freckled, has not
held true since the discovery OF Will
sons Freckle Cream.
Miss Lucille Scott, of Scotia, S. G..
recently wrote us as follows: L have
used many things to get rid of my
freckles, but l have never found any
thing SO good as Wilson's Freckle
Cream. l cannot say enough for it.
This is a mild face bleach, and is
positively guaranteed to cure freckles,
Dimples and blackheads. 1t leaves the
skin smooth and soft as velvet, i'm
parting a healthful glow and youthful
radience.
The first jar of Wilson's FreckIe
Cream will cause your freckles to per
ceptibly fade, and the second jar will
entirely remove them. Should it fail
to do so, your druggist is authorized
to return you your money. If he can
not supply you, send 80 cents to Will
sons Freckle Cream Comply Charles
ton, c. c., and we will mail you a full
size jar.
This is the only real way to get rid
of freckles.

by a committee, offered a statement
answering various questions as to thu
Imamdacture of beer and suggesting

THE WILL OF GOD
Frederick William FaberD

worship thee, sweet will OF God,
And all thy ways adore;
And every day l live, | seem
To love thee more and more.
Thou vert the end, the blessed rule
OF our Sayior's tolls and tears;
Thou vert the passion of His heart
Those three-and-thirty years.
And He hath breathed into my soul
A special love of thee
A love to lose my will in His,
And by that loss be free.
He always wins who sides with God
To him no chance is lost;
Gods will is sweetest to him when
1t triumphs at his cost.
When obstacles and trials seem
Like prisOn-Walls to be,
| do the little | can do,
And leave the rest to Thee.

WAVE OF CRIME is ALARMING.
New York Starts Big Crusade
AGAINST II.

New York, Aug. 31.-All the Italian
detectives in the city, seventy-five in
number, were summoned to police
headquarters and assigned to stem the
wave of Italian crime.
The seriousness of the situation be-
came apparent when it was learned
that the Italian government had re-
ceived through it's consul here a list
of crimes by natives of that country
since the first of the year and was
much exercised by the showing. 1t
was stated that the detective bureau
has list of no less than 5000 Italian
eX-convicts believed to be in New
York city at this time.
The immediate provocation of the
Italian crime crusade was the two
kidnapping cases reported to the po-
lice and still unsolved. In addition the
police records show fourteen cases OF
bomb throwing since July IA.
The action of Police Commissioner
Waldo practically revives the once ia
nous Italian detective bureau, when
was disbanded only a month ago.
