Madkins was re- gently fined s10 and costs for failing to pay the wagon tax, a new provision that is designed to protect the county roads from wholesale destruction. MT.

FINE RAINS in SUMTER
and CROPS ARE SAFE
Showers We're Generous Sum-
day and Monday

Splendid rains Sunday and yester-
day, apparently general over Sumter
county, Lee, Webster and Schley, from
the drift of the clouds, served to smash
the prevailing drought and save the
crops. Farmers in Americas yester-
day reported fine seasons, particularly
between the city and Flint river and
beyond, covering an area of twenty
miles. At Plains, where rain was
needed very much, fine showers have
fallen, while from Smithville and
points south of Americas, covering a
wide area, comes the same encourag-
ing reports of rain since Sunday. Cot
ton was not suffering to any great ex-
tent, but corn was whiting badly and
the rains came just in time to save it
and insure an abundant crop. Even
more rain today would prove benefc-
1al, as the ground was very dry before
the recent showers came.

BERNHARD'S LAST
WAS RECORD TOUR
Earned 100000 in Thirty
Five Weeks

New York, June 26.-When Sarah
Bernhard sails away to Paris on Ia
Lorraine this week the expressions Of
affection for American theatre-goers
in which she may confidently be ex-
pected to indulge ought to come from
her heart, for her tour in its financial
returns has exceeded the records of
any other French dramatic star.
Independent of the returns of her
coming four performances at the Globe
Theatre here, the gross receipts of
Nine. Bernhardt's season have totaled
$685., 600 This huge huge sum has
been earned in less than eight months,
and the physical energy displayed by
the venerable French genius during
her visit has been quite as amazing as
her artistic powers.
At the age of 67, when most grand
mothers are content to take only a
passing interest in the affairs of the
world, she has travelled more than
$4,000 miles, crossing the continent
twice. In the course of 50 weeks she
has appeared in no less than 2S5 per-
formances, 80 of which have been one
night stands, and she has a record of
not having once disappointed an audi
ence. She has visited 1913 American
cities, to ten of which she returned for
second engagements. And, not con-
tent with her original repertoire Of
about % plays, she has found time to
rehearse and produce four new dramas
