To The Citizens of Sumter County:
1 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 l 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, l 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,

THOUGHT HE MEANT Triple
Mrs. Mills Sadly MisIed About Hus-
bands Diet by Deaf Old
Family Doctor.

Mr.. Mills was Ill, and Mrs. Mills
sent post haste for the deaf old family
doctor, who, responding promptly to
the call, looked Mr.. Mills carefully
over and decided he was not going to
die that time. AS the physician took
his leave, Mrs. Mills followed him out
into the hall Or Crimes" she said,
how about Albert's diet? You didn't
tell me what l should give him to
eat!"
The doctor, who had his deaf side
toward his interrogation, mistook her
question for an inquiry as to the ma
ture of Mr.. Mills disease and replied
sruffiy and shortly: "Oh, stomach,
stomach-nothing but stomach"
Dear mel" thought Mrs. Mills, who
is not subtle reasoner. 81 suppose,
of course, he must mean tripe. It's a
singular diet. but perhaps Albert's dis
ease is singular"
Next day when the doctor called he
found the patient much worse, and at
once inquired what he had had to
eat.
Il gave him just what you told me
to-" shouted Mrs. Mills into the doc
tors best ear, nothing in the world
but tripe."

THAT 0LD-FASHI0NED LADY
Sweet Picture That Some of Us Are
Privileged to Carry In Our
Memories.

Everybody loved that old-fashioned
lady. And find almost everyone past
forty has, at the back of his mind,
vivid impressions regarding her and
the social life of which she was the
center One remembers the atmo-
sphere of that day as one remembers
the blush roses and spicy pinks of old
gardens Even yet there are gardens
where blush roses grow, and l know
some women not yet old, and few
young girls, whose mere presence
serves today TO reproduce that at.
mosphere. She was dauntless and
sweet, that old-fashioned Lady; witty
but tender; as notable a housewife
as a hostess; full of gentle concern
for others. with mind ever at leis'
ure for their affairs, and heart
whose sympathy was instantaneous in
their service. She stimulated and she
soothed. Fine, complicated and inter
esting as the old lace and finely
wrought gold she delighted to wear,
she was a very precious piece of por-
celain. The brilliant, soft daguerreo-
type that has preserved her early like
ness for us did not idealize her be-
yond her just due. Perhaps the in
innate secret of her influence was the
impression she gave of enc whose
heart is fixed, one whom the world can
no longer harm.-The Atlantic
