Flood damage about Americas re-
sulting from the torrential rains re-
Gently and particularly that on Mon
day, was veryeXtensive, doing great
injury to the roads of Sumter county
as well as to crops. On many farms
young corn and cotton was damaged
or destroyed to the extent OF requlr-
ing entire replanting, thus entalling
heavy cost to the farmers.
The ground is yet too wet to be
WORKED, and not until next week,
perhaps, can anything be done in the
devastated fields. This fact will rem
der the cotton crop unusually late
and all the more uncertain. The fields
ale very grassy as well.
Sumters good roads, many of them,
were again seriously damaged by the
downpour Monday, and all work re-
Gently done must be done over again.
Where the repair work had not fully
settled the fresh dirt was swept away
by the flood of rain, leaving great
breaks in many of the fine roads The
| damage over the county was very
considerable.
Supt. Christian has the convict
forces making repairs at important
places, but on account of the late
flood it will be weeks yet before the
roads are again in condition.
Flint river and Muckalee, whilt
still very high are slowly subsidina

in day or two. Flint river ros'

These lands, owing to the latenes
of the season, cannot be again plant
ed this year, and consequently will
allowed to lie idle to very consider

A writer in the British Med
icaI journal says that the die
tetic and therapeutic value of
vegetables has not been left to
be discovered by modern "fad-
dists." Cato, he says, regarded
cabbage presumably uncooked)
e as sovereign remedy for every
ailment and injury, from fever
to fracture. Some "faddists"
maintain that the eating of flesh
meat has a tendency to make
one irritable and ferocious. This
would seem to be borne out by
the difference in temperament
between the lion and the lamb,
the cat and the rabbit. If it is
true that man is neither carniv-
orous nor vegetable eating, he
would resemble neither of these
classes, but would be cIassed as
omniVorous-of which the pig is
the best representative. If, how
ever, simple diet, either flesh,
fruit or cereal, we're followed,
there would be no need for
therapeutic foods.

He was, oh, so tender!-h man

It's true he Lacked pow'r to

Blame him not for the Lord gave
him therefore a meekness,
None Of US with all his boasted

Can initiate, cen though the

Wherefore I write: I give this
pray'r, @ Lord:
Take him to thy realms, let not

Confront him in those heavens,
for he suffered in this world
More than his meanest hater,

WHY NOT CURE
YOUR RHEUMATISM
Do Not Join the Ranks Of LOPEZ
less Sufferers When There
= Is a Remedy Within
Reach.

Why are there SO many failures in
the treatment of rheumatism?
Why are SO many sufferers resigned to
life of pain, despaiiing OF a per-
manent cure?
Because rheumatism defies any treat
ment that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and it is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unles. the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get a foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. 1t must be strength
ened and purified. Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take.
Mrs. George Lockard, a farmer wife,
OF Landenburg, Pa, found complete re-
lief from rheumatism when she built up
and purified the blood with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. She
says:
II suffered for years from rheuma-
tism in the LETT hip along the sciatic
nerve and in the shoulders and hands.

RECENT DEATHS.

Edmond D. Wiggin of Boston died
Sept. 18th at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Fred Gerald, in China, of heart dis
ease, aged 65 years and II months. Mr..
Wiggin was born in China and for his
first wife married Miss Julia Washburn
of that town, who died when her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Gerald, was young girl. Mr..
Wiggin formerly lived in Auburn and
was prominent in the police force of
that city, winning fame as detective in
the famous Barron murder at Dexter.
He had since lived most of the time in
Boston and had worked up many difficult
cases. Mr.. Wiggin passed one winter in
France and two in Alaska. His health
has been poor for the past year, during
which he lived quietly with his daughter.
The many friends of Pierce Latin
learned with regret of his death at his
home at Mt. Waldo, after an illness of
two weeks with pneumonia. Mr.. Latin,
was &c years and 9 months of age. He
was held in high esteem by large circle
of friends and was staunch member of
the Granite Cutters Union. He leaves
widow, and seven sons and one daughter
Richard K. Latin, John F., Pierce A.,
J. Hayward, Stephen E., Francis P and
Mrs. Owen Sweeney; also large circle
of relatives and friends to mourn his
death. The bearers were Patrick Dun
lin, Martin Hannigan, James Otis and
Thomas Murphy. The funeral was held
at St. Gabriel's church, Winterport,
Sept. 18th, and was attended by large
number Of relatives and friends. The
floral offerings were many and beautiful.
The many friends of the family extend
their heartfelt sympathy to them in their
sad bereavement. Work was suspended
the day of the funeral at the cutting
plant of the Mt. Waldo Granite Works.
The brother stone cutters attended the
funeral of Mr.. Latin in a body and pre-
sented a beautiful floral pillow, which
gave silent tribute to their love of their
loyal brother.

the custom for many years for the farmers in

WHERE LAWLEsSNESs NATURALLY
~ LEADS.

In Brookline on Wednesday night
man shot an intruder who was supposed
ly stealing violets, killing him. Only a
few weeks ago an Italian said to be
stealing milk from a delivery met a SINH
lar fata These punishments are SO
severe in proportion to the offence that
the owner of the property, who did the
shooting, is in each case charged with
manslaughter.
Nor are such incidents unusual. Seib-
erlich' S trap-gun which killed an intruder
is we'll remembered. So is the case of
the author on the South Shore who shot
an alleged chicken thief only a few
weeks ago.
| In the present condition of law en-.
forcement, there is practically no way to
stop petty thieving except by taking the
law into ones own hands. Scores of
people in Greater Boston have chopped
down trees because they were unable to
gather the fruit. Our legal system, SO
far as the protection of these rights are
concerned, has rather completely broken
down. In the Occasional instance when
such thief can be caught and adjudged
guilty, and perhaps actually sentenced
to fine or lmprisonment-an this con-
summation is exceedingly unusual-all
SA1S sA1tNA ASSA Wv 10 " uAAC q lawyer 6nO
appeal the case. The chances are that
it will be mol pressed, through political
or other influence, and forgotten. And
the only punishment inflicted will be the
fee which the attorney exacts.
Thieving is veryannoying to manytrades- /
men, express companies, milk reuters,
etc., to say nothing of the people who |,
would like to raise small fruits, grapes. |
and berries about their suburban homes. !
They now have to gather it all when /
it is too green to eat, or run the large i
risk Of its entire loss. If anyone thinks !
this is an exaggerated statement, let !
him leave the pears on his tree ungather-
ed for little and see what happens. |
The tax which the community pays for |
its helplessness against petty theft
would run into high figures. The risk
holds in check many enterprises which
would otherwise be of public conven-
fence. 1t prevents various schemes of |
self-help and home identifying that
would be to the general advantage, and
it deadens civic spirit.
But worst Of all, non-enforcement of
the law always brings substitute in its
train-violence. Judge Lynch soon takes
possession of every empty court. -Bos-
ton Herald.
