the poorest in several years.
General delay in planting corn and
cotton in Sumter and adjacent coun-

FILLED Up HIS GRIP

Field

That Americus is good field for a
little "bootlegging" upon the part of

neighboring town, where an Ameri-

FORT DAVIS VAUDEVILLE
 LAST EVENING

The crowd turning out to see the vaudeville given by the Fort Davis company was not up to expectation the boys were deserving of better house for they have ever been willing to help out in the local affairs.
 For two hours those present were entertained by sketches wherein there was much dialogue. and little acting for the boys do not pretend to be actors.
 Miss Margaret Moldt was the best number on the program she always takes well and was given a hearty applause when she came on Her song received a rousing encore. for she sang sweetly. and the song waS new to many.
 The last number pulled of was pro- ductive of much laughter. due to a girl and horse having the same name. The school scene was also funny at times owing to the acts of both pupils and teacher being 30 en- ,irely foreign to a class room.

MAY NEED RABBIT FOOT
And LUCK Stone, TOO
Wilson's AdmirGrs Arranging
to Give Hin a Boost

Atlanta, Feb. 14.-The left hind foot
of a rabbit caught in a graveyard al
midnight in the dark of the moon,
will be presented to Woodrow Wilson
by his Georgia friends, as a luck
piece, just before the democratic pres
idential primary here in april.
They figure that it may help him 70
win. If luck has anything to do with
it, it would seem that Woodrow Will
sons chances for the white house are
fine, for an Ashland, Va, man has
presented him with fairy-stone from
Patrick county. These fairy stones,
it seems, bear some particular rela-
ton to political affairs, TO Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, it is stated, wore one
from the same county all during his
political career up to date.
For man who believes in luck.
however, there are. some other fea-
lures of the Wilson situation that
may not be so hopeful. In the first
place Woodrow Wilson has thirteen
letters in his name. Count EN- and
see, if you don't believe it.
In the second place, Wilson is cen
shaven, and most of the presidents OF
the United States during the past fiji
ty years had hair on their faces. Lin
coin, Grant, Hays, Garfield and Har-
rison, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Taft, Ill
had mouStaches or whiskers. Every
republican candidate wearing a beard
was elected, for the past generation,
it is stated, and every smooth-shayel
democratic candidate for president
was beaten.
In the light of these statistics, it
looks as if Wilson will really need
his fairy stone and his rabbit foot, too.
Or it may be-if Mrs. Wilson is will
ing-that he can grow moustache
between now and November.
