is the same old story, if you have
anything to sell, or have spec
ial price on anything, it pays to
let the people who read know.
The interest being manifested
by all the children attending the
Roman schools is wonderful. They
are all anxious to be on time, all
are studious and are g citing
along nicely. The teachers from
Mr.. Healy down are we'll liked
by their scholars, which is the
real thing to be considered in
employing teachers. 1t is safe
to say that there will be great
progress shown in the pupils of
the Roman schools this year.
Judge Bickford delivered a fine
speech at the Clark banquet last
Friday evening, and took advan-
tage of the occasion to define his
position on the recall of the judi
ciary. The applause following
this statement was not such as
to encourage the Judge, however.
1t was of the silent kind indicat-
ing that his opinions on the sub
ject were not in harmony with
those of his hearers. The recall
of a judge is just as
sure to come as the recall of any
other official who may not be
conducting the Office honestly,
fairly and justly. One class Of
public servants should not be ex-
empt from the privilege any
more than another. There is
nothing intricate in the workings
of the law, even if some people
do think and say that laymen
are not competent to judge of
the official acts of a person wear
ing the ermine of a judicial
office. 1t is this kind of poppy
cock talk which has obscured the
vision of the people so long as it
has, and the time is now ready
to make a judge do the right
thing at all times just like COM
mon men must do.

Cost of Dynamiting Stumps.

A man near Newport, WASH,
who recently cleared some stump
land by the use of dynamite, sub
mits the following figures regard
ing the cost Of the work:
II have recently blown out the
stumps on nine acres of land, on
which there were 1850 stumps,
or an average of $50 to the acre,
the stumps being of about aver
age size. To do this work / used
1850 pounds of powder, being
one and one-sixths pounds to the
stump. The cost of the powder,
caps and fuse would not exceed
Is cents per stump, or $27 per
acre.

1t does not match up with my
other pieces including the skill

says Todd,. "and it is too large
to adorn the mantle piece of our
shack, so it's a question of either
building a new home for the cup
or selling the cup, and the cup is
for sale."
IF we could melt the thing
and make dollars out of it and
help improve our home it would
be mighty fine," added. ''You
see we are newcomers and every
little bit helps. I've got a family
of nine children, one a girl. 1t
would be fine if the cup meant
that whole $1,000, but the cup is
not suited for a soup tureen, I'm
told. Of course l am mighty
glad to have won it and all the
members of my family are proud
to own it, but just now, money
means more to us than an art Or

These Twins HAVE
TAKEN TWIN BRIDES
Wear Ribbons So As Not to
Get Mixed Up

Austin,' Tenn, June 13.-Leland and
Lorand Tabler, twins who are part
ners in business at Adrian, Mo, have
married Alma and Alta Moore, re-
spectively at the home of the brides, in
San Marcos, near here. The brides are
also twins. The bridegrooms resemble
each other so closely that only close
friends can tell them apart The brides
also look so much alike that members
of their own family can hardly tell
which is which.
To avoid any possible mix-up of
bridegrooms and brides at the double
wedding each of the four principles
wore different colored flowers. The
quartet left on their wedding trip,
travelling together. Two residences,
just alike and located side by side,
await the Homecoming of the welded
ones, at Adrian.

NO ADVANCE In LANDS
SHOWN BY TAX BOOKS
Less Than $40 Per Acre On
the Average

The alleged phenomenal advance in
the value of Sumter county farming
lands within the past year is evident
ny a fallacy, according to reports
made by Tax Receiver John C. Howell,
who is in a position to know, as just
at this time the owners of lands are
making returns to Receiver Howell for
taxation.
And, remarkable to relate, values
are about the same as five or ten
years ago. No advance in values what
ever.
In many instances, Receiver Howell
states, owners of realty look back
upon the tax books for previous re-
turns and make their sworn returns
for 1911 at the valuations in years
agone. His protest at this procedure
is of little avail
OF the many valuable properties
returned for taxation thus far, Re
ceiver Howell states, the average is
less than ten dollars per acre. This
seems rather remarkable, in view Of
the fact that for two years past farm
lands in Sumter-hundreds of thous
ands of acres, have been sold at
much higher values.
Sales reported within that time av-
eraged about $40 per acre, while
many farms sold at $50 to $50
In fact, it is a matter of serious
doubt if there is an acre of land in
Sumter county-the poorest, and ii
the most obscure Iocality-that could
be bought for $40. On the other hand
many farms on the market are neld
at $50 to SIS per acre, and other still
could not be bought even at these
prices.
Receiver Howell would be glad il
some one would suggest a reason for
this amazing shrinkage in values at
taxing time

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by ar
infamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
GUS surfaces.
