Which Shall 1t Be

Do you intend to continue laboring,
burning valuable fuel and destroying high
priced food with that old WORKOUT cook
stove?
You know that old stove eats up lot
fuel each year.
You know you have trouble in getting
it to bake just right, in fact spoil a batch
of bread every once in while-you know
it costs considerable for yearly repairs.
Stop and think and figure.
Wouldn't it pay you to buy good range

TREE TAG DAY NEXT FRIDAY.
Tie City Beautiful.

My, this is a beautiful city. l
should like to live here" How often
have you said this yourself, and how
often have you heard others say the
same thing? Why do you say that /?
Is 1t not because the city has i'm
pressed itself upon you because of its
beautiful parks. streets, trees and
buildings? Have you ever visited a
city that is devoid Of trees? If you
have you are sure to be impressed
with its poverty.
Sumter's main claim to beauty is
the fact that 1t has so many fine old
trees. Every true citizen is or should
be proud Of his home city, and he
should bend every effort to make it
more beautiful and more liveable. 1t
should be his duty, therefore, to aid
every movement which is working
with this object in view. The ladies
OF the Civic League have long been
trying to interest the people of Sum.
ter in this subject, especially by
planting and caring for the city
trees. 1t takes almost "a life time to
grow really fine tree. Should not
our people be interested, therefore, in
the effort Of the League to raise
money for the purpose Of saving these
old trees? When you pass these trees
on your way home or to the office,
notice how many of them are par
TALLY decayed and need immediate
attention If they are to be preserved.
Notice how many Of them need trim
ming and proper care. You will be
asked on next Friday, Tag Day. to
contribute for this cause. If you
are loyal to your home and home
city. you will not hesitate.

WHAT SHOULD ONE DO?
Negro Kills Man for Splitting in His
RatiOns-Asks Pardon,

Atlanta, Jan. 1S.-If a man de-
liberately spits in the plate from
which you are eating does that Justify
you in killing him? Ii you oughtn't
to XIII him, what ought you to do?
And If YOU do kill him, what is a
reasonable punishment for the homi-
eide?
Thee interesting questions are be-
'nS pondered most seriously by Gov
ernor John NJ. Slaton, and will have
to be answered by him shortly. Not
that anybody has spit in his plate.
Perish the thought. If anybody had,
the governor would probably have
Killed him first and figured it out
afterward-at least he might have.
But this case relates to a poor negro
whom the governor met and talked
to on the State prison farm.
He seemed to be a good negro.
with kindly face and honest eyes.
Yet he was up for murder, and had
already served twenty years.
! He sought out the governor to ask
him for clemency. He said he had
never committed any other crime,
and that he wouldn't have killed the
man If he hadn't been "jes' bleeged to
dc it,"
why did you kill him? ?" the gov
crnor asked, and the negro respond
ed:
: We'll. him an me was working on
job in Savannah, an when dinner
time came he keep leanin' over my
plate. An 1 tole him not to lean
over 1t that way. an do you know,
governor. he spit right in my rations.
OATS why I killed him. I'm sorry I
done 1T. but l think twenty years is
long enough 10 serve"
