ance. After referring to disaster that
had overtaken certain men In Haiti
who had refused his counsel, he add
ed: Soon, too. shall the divine
vengeance fall on you. This very night
shall the moon change her color and
lose her light, in testimony Of the
evils which shall be sent upon you
from the skies" The night was fne:
the moon shone In unclouded splendor
But at the hour predicted the eclipse
took place, and the wild howlings Of
the natives proclaimed their abject
terror. In q body the leaders came to
Columbus and implored his interces-
sion. They promised abundant sup
plies, n he would only avert the
threatened judgment, and az an earn
est Of their sincerity they hurried TO
heap up food at his feet. He promised
his intercesslon. Soon the dark shad-
ow passed away from the face Of the
moon, and thenceforward he and his
men had bread enough TO spare.

PROFIT IS GREATER because
he sells MORE OF THEM.
The motion prevails IN some
quarters that advertised articles
must be sold at higher prices in
order to make good the cost OF
the advertising.
There never was a more mis-
taken notion. JUST THE CON-
TRARY is THE ACTUAL
TRUTH.
Dealers everywhere say that
the advertising of a GOOD ar
ticle in THEIR HOME NEWS
PAPERS, by the manufacturer,
plus the advertising OF the deal
ers themselves, creates a de-
mand for the article at once and
enables them to sell quantities
of It at a lower price than If it
had not been advertised.
In previous talks l have given
illustrations on this point. Since
advertising is MOST EFFEC-
TIVE that is oft repeated, it is
not out of place to say in this
column over and over again that
the man who advertises stead
ily and honestly does a larger
business than the man who does
not advertise. He also sells his
merchandise cheaper because he
sells more of it.

The OWLS In AMFRICUS
Still ON The HOOT
Not Disturbed at Conditions
in Atlanta

Americas Owls, while apparently in
terested in the feather-snatching con-
test waged in Atlanta by the Owls Of
that hollow against Caulfeld, ct al, and
the latter's reply to the red-hot charges
hurled at him, are not visibly disturb>
ed and continue to blink in wisdom
and holy calm.
They are not in the same covey with
the Atlantans, they say, and profess
to apprehend no trouble like that
waged by the Atlanta insurgents, who
hurl boots at Caulfield, ct al.
1--WE have not been called upon for
any per capita tax said a huge Owl
yesterday in discussing the situation,
NOR do we expect to be called upon to
pay such tax. We would not do it
under any event, even should such de-
mand be made upon Americus Owls,
which is not probable"
The Owls here gave up something
like $4,000 when the organization pro-
cess was effected, but they are making
no kick about it, and blink in serene
contentment.

MRS. 7. LAWSON SPEER
DEAD At Home HERE
Passed Away Yesterday After
Long Illness

The announcement yesterday morn
ing of the death of Mrs. Lawson Speer
was a source of sincerest sorrow to
a wide circle of friends, although her
long-continued illness and critical con-
dition quite recently had served 10
prepare her friends and near ones at
her bedside for the inevitable end.
Mrs. Speer passed away during the
early hours of morning at her resi-
dence on Forsyth street.
A lovable woman and consistent
member Of the Baptist church, a true
friend to those whom she loved best,
and as much esteemed by them, her
death, although she was past the meri-
dian of life, is greatly deplored
Besides her husband she is survived
by two sons, Mr.. R. c. Chappell, Of
Sumter, by her first marriage, Mr.. Earl
ISpeer and her daughters, Miss Lou
belle Spec. Among other near rela
tives are two brothers, DR.. J. C. tSimp-
son, of Smithyille, and Mr.. George R.
Simpson, we'll known planter of this
county.
The funeral services will be held at
10 o'clock this morning from the fam
lily residence here.

DIRECT FROM field OF
FIGHTING in MEXICO
Americas is Invaded By a
Warning Host

Americus was invaded two days ago
by a bunch of fighters direct from the
CORY fields of Mexico, and while no in
surrection or disturbance has retulted
in Americas as yet it is certain that
blood will flow at the removal of the
first Stat. This bunch of insurgents
consists of fifteen royal high-scrap-
ping game cocks shipped to an Ameri-
Gus citizen by Mexican cit. who prob
ably thought he would see all the real
fighting he cared to look at there by
simply going up the alley leading to
Juarez. AT all events he sent the zoos
terio insurgents to Americus Charges
collect" and thereby hangs a tale as
long as that of the most pugnacious
fighter of the fifteen. The Americus
man did not care for the game cocks,
as they are not of the picnic variety
and too old and tough even for a
preacher to tackle, en- pie or en- fry. In
the meantime Agent Garner, Of the
Southern Express Co., is going to col
lect SIT charges on the chicks, even
though he has to put on a marked
down "sale" to accomplish that dol
laretic desire.
