lie had been married twenty years.

home was right in the same city where
this girl boarded and worked as a
waitress.
And yet, for fourteen years, he had
been able TO deceive her as to his true
position in society.
In some way her suspicious were
aroused, and she went to his home,
found his wife there, saw his child, and
then went back o,her lodging and put
| a bullet through her heart. ,a.A
Coming to make hisiusual, cali the
next day, the man--if WEI do not top

out on the couch. Perhaps he received
some Of his punishment then and
there. Perhaps he was too much hard
ened by the life Of systematic decep7

years to mind this little incident very
much. Who knows3
But did not bring up this dismal

TO prefer to seek "the undiscovered

his people are, and whathis past is,

THAT he wasn't fit man even to have

WALT MASON
The Poet Philosopher.
cENrLE ANNIE.

The time approaches. Mi Man,
when you will take the sprinkIing can,
and rake and spade and hoe, and blow
yourself for sacks OF seeds which will
produce all kinds Of weeds when they
begin to grow It Is a strange note
worthy thing, that with the coming of
the spring man yearns to delye the
ground, to labor with the fragrant soil
as Father Adam used to toll, to fuss
and potter round. He dreams Of finer
cabbageheads and cucumbers and on
ion beds than ever man has seem and
he Will raise the finest slaw and sue
cotash, both boiled and raw, that ever
wore the green. Experience might
teach him that his visions will be
broken flat, his garden be fake, that
all the harvest he will get will be a
ripping rill of sweat, and fifty kinds
of ache. But man forgets his former
woes when Gentle Annie comes and
blows upon her fairy pipe; once more
the luscious soil he digs and plants
again his thinkmyjlgs. his caullflower
and tripe. We've civilized the human
race until there scarcely is q trace Of
old primeyal man, save when the
sprlngtime makes us ache to tinker
With the hoe and rake and spade and
sprinkling can.

EcdRaitionss iltEH
iEnoS the man who calls on your

Do YOU care to take the chance?i
And you, daughters who, for reasons
OF death or distance, or for any other
cause, have no father or mother to do
such investigating for you, do It your
selves. Ask the man who says he

take any other course that is open to

Managua, Aug. 81 delayed in trans
mission) This city is practically cut
off from communication with the rest
of the world Food is becoming
scarcer here daily and also in several
of the cities in the hands Of the revo-
lutionaries. At Granada and Masaya,
which are held by the rebels, the pop
ulations are almost completely de-
priyed of provisions.
Reports have come in of engage
ments in the vicinity of Granada be-
tween the government troops and the
insurgents, but no details of the fight
ing have been obtainable.
There is an entire lack of news
from Corinto and other coast towns,
and it has been virtually impossible to
get out any Information, but a courier
was successful today in finding one
outlying telegraphic wire which had
not been destroyed.

LAW PROHIBITING DISTRIBUTING
or SUNDAY MAIL TO BE-
COME EFFECTIVE.
GENERAL KICK IS EXPECTED
Not Even Can Box Renters Secure
Their MaiI-LocaI Force Making Ar
rangements to lnaugurate the New
Rules.

No mail tomorrow Not even will the
people who pay Uncle Sam box rent
be able to secure their mail, as it
will not be distributed until Monday
morning.
Postmaster Elliott is making ar
rangements to enforce the new rules
and to handle the extra amount of
mail on Monday. He states that one
clerk will be kept in the office during
Sunday to despatch outgoing mail and
to likewise open incoming mail and
sort it in the cases in the postoffice
so that it can be speedily handled on
Monday In fact it will all be dis
tributed on Monday before the arrival
of the early morning trains.
1t is expected that there will be
much inconvenience for the first few
Sundays, but the law will soon adjust
itself. The greatest complaint will
probably be that the people will not
even be able to receive their news
papers, but it is expected that the
papers will make some other arrange
ments for their delivery on Sunday.
Anyway the law is going to be put
into effect tomorrow in every first
and second class postoffice in the
country, and whether it pleases or
not will lmake but little difference
to Uncle Sam.
The following was issued yesterday
by Postmaster Elliott:
In obeying the instructions of the
postoffice department, under the new
law for closing the postoffice on Sun
days, and to handle the Sundays mail
Monday morning, it becomes neces-
sary to open the general delivery
window one hour later, or a. m,
and on account of the passage of the
eight law, the window Will be
closed at p. m instead of p. m,
effective September l, 1912

GEORGIA VETERANS TO MEET
IN BRUNSWICK NEXT YEAR
THIS CITY WON OUT OVER CO.
LUMBUS AT THE REUNION
IN MARIETTA.

The Confederate veterans of Georgia
will hold their 1913 reunion in Bruns-
wick, this city having been selected
at the reunion held in Marietta this
week. Invitations were extended to
the veterans by Columbus and Bruns-
made strong address, stating that
it had been two or three years since
the veterans had been entertained in
South Georgia and that Brunswick
had never had the pleasure of enter
tanning these old soldiers.
Columbus finally withdrew with the
understanding that the 1914 reGnion
be held in that city. This wa; prac-
tically agreed to and Brunswick was
unanimously selected as the meeting
place in 1913.
This reunion will bring to Brunswick
probably two or three thousand Wis
itora Georgia veterans ALWAYS at
tend the reunion in large numbers
and they are generally accompanied
by members of their families. The
sons of veterans always hold their
meeting where the veterans gather
and this organization will also BE-
largely represented.
Brunswick will at once begin to
make arrangements for her many
visitors, and though the reunion is a
year off, old soldiers in all sections
of the state can look forward to one
of the largest meetings ever held.

Who All Voted.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 30-The State
yesterday gave the following editorial,
summing up the unprecedented vote
cast in Tuesdays election:
According to the census of 1910
the white population of South Caro-
lima was 679,162.
For the ten years, 1900 to 1910, the
white population Of the state in
creased a little less than % per cent
Assuming % per cent as the rate
of increase for the decade or 2.2 per
cent as the annual rate of increase,
the white population of the state
should be at this time 709,045.
Reckoning that for every five per-
sons there is one male of voting age,
there should be in South Carolina
at this time 1,SO9 white males OF
voting age.
"At II o'clock last night 13S,SO4
votes had been reported as cast in last
TUESDAYS primary. Thirty y-three
boxes remained unreported.
"Eleyen hundred and ninety-eight
boxes already reported had averaged

VIOLATED THE GAME LAWS.
London Floyd, CoIored, Was Arrested
Yesterday,

A warrant was sworn out yesterday
against London Floyd, colored by
Game Warden Golden. The negro is
charged with violating the game laws
by hunting without license, hunting
ont of caason and hunting upon the
lands of another without a permit.
Floyd gave bond before Justice Robin
son and he will be given preliminary
hearing on Tuesday.
In this connection it may be of
interest to state that the game war
den is now keeping a close watch
for violations of the law. This is the
season when many violate the law
by shooting birds of various kind
Especially is this true of country
peorle, who have been known to kill
birds long before the opening of the
season, but deputies are now sta
toned at many places throughout the
county and if they persist in vioating
the law they are liable to be arrested
at any time.
