While New York is overwhelmed with

dicament of having three tickets II

out a candidate for mayor on any of
them. The present mayor of Midtown,

his own way, but owing to i'll health
he has refused to be a candidate for
reelection. Efforts were made by each
of the three parties in the field to ac-
cept the nomination for mayor, but NJ
body seems anxious for the honor, and
the result is that all tickets had to
be printed without giving the name of
{. candidate for mayor The voters
will have to fill in the names Of their
respective choice for mayor, and it is
believed that Mayor Richter will be
reelected against his will and desire

his athletes to their first scrimmago

for an hour a fiercer struggle was
never seen on the local field. Slipping
and sliding from one side of the tr.-
angle to the other 40 candidates fought
for a good impression in the first
wedding out meet of the season. The
field was too wet for any brilliant or
spectacular feats, but for every minute

AMERICUS COLTS
ARE SENT To
The STATE FAIR
FIRST BUNCH FOR EXHIBIT
StaplGtOn String to Arrive
There Today

Mr. Lawson Stapleton's string Of
Sumter-raised colts were sent yester-
day to Macon as a portion of the Sum
ter live stock exhibit to be made at
the state fair. The colts, three in
number and fiawless beauties all Of
them, were sent through the country
and will arrive in Macon this after
noon.
Mr.. Stapleton sent his stock we'll in
advance of the fair, which is yet three
weeks in the future, that they might
be assigned good quarters and be
practiced upon the track as we'll.
The three colts owned by Mr.. Staple
ton. were raised in Americas and are
full standard bred. They are aged two,
three and four years, and at the state
fair two years ago won the prizes Of
fered for stock in their class. They
evidence fully what can be done in
stock breeding.
Mr.. J. L. Glawson will have charge
of the Sumter county live stock exhib-
it, including the fine Stapleton string
of colts, and is anxious that other Sum-
ter stock breeders assist in this good
work as well.

ANERICUS Will
COOPERATE With
THE RAILROADS
IN ERECTION OF A DEPOT
No impeachment Will ObStruCt
Work Here

When Americas gets a new pas
ssnger station, either that much de-
sired union depot or the alternative,
separate structures erected by the
Seaboard and Central, the city council
will not obstruct the work of progress
by legal technicalities, as is oftimes
resorted TO by other Georgia towns de.
handing new depot buildings.
Americas needs a new depot-two
of them-but the matter is willingly
held in allegiance by the citizens pend
ing the result of features relating
thereto and now under consideration
by the two roads.
Perhaps one of the most annoying
problems the railroad commission has
to deal with is that of depots. IND r
the law the commission has author y
to compel roads to erect depots, i'm
prove them, ETC.
Within recent years this question has
become one of the most veXed handled.
Towns are springing up or spreading
out so fast in the state that all of
them want new depots or expensive
improvements.
An odd situation has grown up in
this respect. Quite number of towns
in the state have fire limits in which
no frame buildings can be erected
Frequently this fire limit extends to the
depots. So several places asking for
new depots, insist on compliance with
the fire regulations by the roads erect
ing handsome brick or stone depots
Instances have arisen of the COM
cission ordering a road to build a new
depot, but not specifying material. IL
fact, in many of the cases the commits
sion does not think the size and i'm
portance of the town justifies stone or
brick stations. But the town comes
forward with its fre-limit ordinance,
and forbids the road to erect a frame
building.
Thereupon both sides swoop down on
the commission and some warm SEES
sions reslt. So the question has arisen
as to where authority is vested. Does
the road have to obey the commission
and go forward erecting frame build
ings, or does it have to obey the town
council and put up brick structures?
The commission readily admits that
it would be an injustice to force the
roads in large number of cases 10
spend thousands of dollars on brick de-
pots, when the business of the town
would not jutify it. But who has au-
thority, and which body must the
road obey ?
Here is an instance pending: In
north Georgia the people asked for 4
new depot. The road agreed to put 10
a combination freight and passenger
depot, the cost to be about $4,000. The
people kicked on the location, as the
road agreed to move it to the point de-
sired. Then council turned down the
denot plans, and insisted on brick and
sc arate freight and passenger depots,
renting out the fire limit ordinance.
The road thereupon decided to move
he depot out of the fire limits and go
a-ead with the frame structure.
Promptly council met and extended the
fire limit line to include the new site.
And this is the kind of thing the
commission has to wrestle with.

Home and School Gardens.

1t is a sign of the times that chill
dren are urged and encouraged to
plant gardens under their own win
dows at home and in the purlieus of
school buildings. Not so very long ago
you could always tell a school build
Ing, not merely by the sinister and for
bidding architecture as of the prison
house, but by the abomination of des-
olation that prevailed around it. The
school yard was as bare as a cinder
track, on the theory that any grass or
towers planted there would at once be
ruthlessly undertrodden. Nowadays
there is inculcated in school children a
reverence--easily convertible into real
enthusiasm-for growing things of
their own planting, wedding, watering
and tending, from the seedtime to the
harvest. The $4,000 home gardens al
ready started under the general super
vision of thirteen teachers whom the
little gardeners may consult will carry
into every household the benefits of
the agricultural competition of the
plots cultivated side by side in the
school yard.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Gaietv Girls as AnQIers,

Amusing stories formed a feature
of the address given by the Rev. Fred
T. Patton, the son of the famous DR..
Patton, at Whitefield's Tabernacle.
On one occasion during his 20
years service. as missionary in the
New Hebrides, he said, a parcel of
books arrived from home, and while
he was reading a letter the native chill
dren got hold of an illustrated pa
per.
They were at once attracted by the
picture of some Gayety girls, photo
graphed in the act of dancing with
their heels as high as their heads.
For some time the children discussed
the apparition, and then one bright
youth remarked: That's what the
missionary told us about last Sab
bath. Those are the angels climbing
ND and down Jacobs ladder!"-Tit-

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

many of them state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

ADDS TO BEAUTY OF HOME
Brick Terrace Not Costly, and Houses
So Adorned Improve the Appear
ance of Street.

Robert and Elizabeth Shackleton,
who write about 'The Gentle Art of
Home Making" in Harper's Bazaar, de-
scribe what they have done with their
own home Their article begins as
follows:
There is something that would
add to the appearance of any home,
and which it would be easy to build
beside any home; thing not only of
real beauty, but permanence, and
therefore joy forever And yet it
Is something which, for the most part,
they may wish it were possible to
have it, they pass it by as an expen-
sive thing, not to be thought of by
him or her Of moderate pocketbook.
We mean the terrace, and preferably
the terrace of brick.
! 1T is one of the curious things in
regard to home-making, that people
have so long been awed by the
thought of brick flooring. The man
who would go at building stone wall,
or stone walk, without hesitation, Is
awed by the thought of brick paw
ing for terrace or porch; although
brick is much more fitting for out-of-
doors than is wood. Nowadays, for
elaborate houses, some architects are
specifying brick-paved terraces. But
that is precisely the point; it is for
elaborate houses only; when, as
matter of fact, brick-paved terrace
may just as well DE the possession of
the average man."
