To The Citizens of Sumter County

To The Citizens of Sumter County:
l hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for the office of Judge OF
the City Court of Americas, subject to
the action of the Democratic primary
to be held on March 21st, 1912.
This being a judicial office, | can
not conceive that any particular IS
sues or stipulated platforms could be
involved, believing as | do that any
candidate who might go upon the
bench a partisan as to any issue or
platform would be unfit material for
the office.
If nominated, | pledge faithful al
legiance to the constitution and laws
of our country and an administration
of justice, directed by such wisdom,
controlled by such moderation and
tempered by such a sense of mercy as
am capable of bringing to bear.
Respectfully,
w. NJ. HARPER.

A CARD

/ desire to thank those of my
friends and the public who have
helped me to write the large amount
of life insurance l have written dur
ing 1911.
At the same time / wish to con-
graduate all those who have been SO
fortunate as to get their insurance
with The Union Central Life Ins. Co,
and / feel absolutely certain that in
selling you this insurance / have given
you the very best to be had, and have
saved you money on its cost also.
You have seen our actual results as
to annual dividends and net cost adj
Vertised very often. You do not see
the results in any other company so
published. There's a reason.
Now begin the New Year right by
taking out that life insurance you
have been putting off SO long Just a
little more delay may mean fatal de-
lay, and there is no pleasure in think
ing Of what might have been.
Let me show you.

1t discusses quite a number Of ex-
ceelingly instructive facts, among
them a statement about streams that,
strange to say, flow two ways. Thus,
in the northern part of Minnesota,
there is large area Of land so flat
that its waters sometimes flow into
Hudson Bay and sometimes into the
Gulf of Mexico. This area contains
the headWaters Of the ..ississippi riv-
er, which is giving SO much bother
of late. There are times when certain
lakes discharge at bota ends, the nor
thern outlet taking the flow through
Red River or Rainy River into Lake
Winnipeg, and thence into Hudson
Bay, while the southern outlet leads
to the mississippi.
Therefore, the dividing line between
the Mississippi drainage basin and
that of Hudson Bay is indefinite, and
in many places can not be determ.
ined; and the consideration of these
two basins in connection with their
water supplies and the uses that can
be made thereof must Logically be
taken together.
The waters that cross the interna.
tional boundary are considered, too,
and the folks in Michigan, and other
states that are naturally interested
in such matters will read this remark.

considerable information is given
about the rivers of Illinois, and Iowa
which empty into the Mississippi.

Story Of Man From CO.CO.mO
Finds Parallel in Local
hoStelry

There lived a man in Richmond,
Indiana who grew tired of the Hoo
sier state, and hied himself to the
southland. He journeyed into Texas
where he visited one of the large cit
les and stopped at big hotel. He
was so blamed tired of his home town
that he decided to register from Ko-
komo, the city with ths eurhonious
title. 1t so happened that fellow
Hoosier was in Texas for his nealth:
1t also happened that this second man
hotel near the register when the man
from Richmond registered. AS t1e
latter inscribed his John Hancock in
the book the other Hoosier tapped
him on the shoulder.
"See here, my friend, what part OF
Indiana do you really come flon.?'
"Wh-why, I'm from Kokomo," said
the Richmond man
Jaw. quit yer kidding. sport. Fess
up. Where'd you come from?"
Il tell you l came from Kokomo,"
said the other somewhat heatedly. .
well, sonny, that's the first time
l ever saw man from Kokomo spell
it Co.Co-mo on a hotel register"
Which goes to prove that things
are not always what they seem.
Saturday evening young man
stepped into the Grand Pacific hotel.
He was one of the knights of the
grip. He said he was from Baltimore.
But when the hotel reporter saw it
spelled 'Bal-to-more" he thought Of
the man from Indiana, and beat sill

Register Of Deeds Hasn't
Much Faith Left in This
Leap Year Talk

John Fort, register of deeds, is a
kind hearted man: Last week teach
rs examination was held at the court
house and twenty four prospective
school ma'ams were in attendance,
with one solitary male applicant for
a teachers certificate. Mr.. Fort hap
pened to note the tired expression on
the faces of the young ladies, and de.
cided he would try to sweeten them
up a bit. He purchased a box of can
dy and sent it to the examination
room with his compliments. Brain
teasers were forgotten while the
young ladies did justice to the sweets.
When the contents of the box had
disappeared, the girls decided they
must thank someone for them. They
tripped downstairs and entered the

office of Judge Murdoch j Mckenzie.
Judge Mckenzie was sitting with his
feet up on his desk waiting for some
lovelorn youth to make application
for a marriage license. The appear
ance of a score or more of beautiful
young women took the Judge by sur
prise. He quickly recollected that
it was leap year and regained his
composure, and with a benign smile
asked what he could do for them.
Meanwhile he lovingly fingered a
sheaf of blank marriage licenses. TO
his surprise they expressed sincere
thanks for his sweet gift.
Then the girls hunted up Auditor
Tim Flaherty. Tim was cudgeling his
brains over some sidewalk taxes, but
extended the glad hand of welcome
and wondered if they were bringing
in some gopher hides to secure boun-
ties. He, too, was surprised at the
hearty thanks accorded him. Other
offices we're visited-all except the
register of deeds. When they had
made the rounds the young women
returned to the court room and con-
tinued their examination.
Meanwhile Mr.. Fort sat at his lone
ly desk. He is the only bachelor OF
the court house force. He alone was
not awarded thanks-and he was the
donor of the chocolates. After max
ing some comments in quiet and
persuasive undertone regarding leap
year and good deeds not being of any
use after all, he lighted his pipe, dived
into one of the record books and was
soon lost in a maze Of figures.
