Aslag Olson largo passed quietly to
his eternal sleep Tuesday evening at
the home of his son Martin in this vii
lage, after little over a weeks grad
ual ebbing away, due to old age. He
was almost within sight of his Tooth
birthday anniversary, Jan. 10, 1914,
being the date of his birth. A couple
of weeks ago Deerfield firmly expected
to become the home of centenarian,
he seemed so spry and we'll, but at that
age life's thread is slender, and little
breath of illness was sufficient to break
the tie that kept the soul in its earthly
shrine. The funeral was held Friday
afternoon at the Synod church in this
village, Rev. M. FIR. Wiese officiating,
and the remains were buried in the
Synod cemetery. Deceased is survived
by four sons and one daughter, namely,
Richard, Martin, John and Toilet, and
Mrs. 0. Quaven. Deceased was born
in Telemarken, Norway.

The 3 ..nishment OF the Bagno.


In former times the punishment OF
the bagno (lathl. one Of the most clev-
erly crue! infections ever devised, was
administered in Venice, where the wa
ter of the lagoons played so prominent
a part in it's penal system. The pun
ishment was as follows: The prisoner
was placed in a vat the sides of which
were slightly in excess Of the average
height of a man. In order to hold in
check the rising tide of a supply Of
water which ran into the vat in a con-
slant stream the criminal was furnish
ed with a scoop with which to bale
out the water as fast as it came in.
The respite from death by immersion
thus obtained was more or less pro-
longed, according to the powers of en-
durance possessed by the victim. But
imagine the mortal torture, the ex-
hausting and even hideously grotesque
efforts, the incessant and pitiless toll
by night and day, to stave off the dread
moment fast approaching when, over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was un-
able to struggle any longer against his
fate.

was standing in the road watching the
men who are employed by the Kllbourn

ting poles, and did not notice or hear
the approaching auto until it was about
ten feet from him. When he did hear
the cries of warning from the men in
the auto and those at work on the road
he tried to dodge the car and in SO
doing stepped directly in the path of it.
The result was that he was knocked
down and run over.

Beware of OiD tmentS for CaSarrIl
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on peescrip-
tons from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Cattrrh Cure, manufactured by F.
j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o., contains no
mercury and is taken internally, acting

The STATE To REFUND
half OF ITS DEBT
Cannot Escape This Serious
Problem

Atlanta, January 6.-There is one
problem with which the next Legisla-
ture will have to deal; there is no es-
cape from it. That is the refunding of
about half Georgia's bonded indebted
ness.
Georgia now owes about S6,500,000,
of which a sinking fund has been pro-
vided to pay it off at the rate of $780,
600 a year, rate at which it will take
IS years finally to liquidate it. Of this
amount SO, $4,000 falls due in July, 1915
OF course the state will not take up
these bonds with cash; the state hasn't
tle money and the only thing it can DO
is to refund them.
When the new issue is authorized
for the purpose of taking up the old
bonds an effort will be made to reduce
the rate of interest from to IL per
cent. or perhaps per cent
Despite GeOrgia's experience with
the carpet bag bond issues which have
been repudiated as fraudulent, the
states credit is good, as evidenced by
the fact that it has been able within
the past few years to borrow money in
New York at per cent. and recently
paid only when the money market
was tighter than it has been in five
years.
The only purpose for which the Lex
islature can authorize a bond issue UNI
der the present constitution is to re-
fund an outstanding issue or to repel
an invasion. AS there is little likeli-
hood of needing money for the latter
purpose Georgias only bond issues
will probably be for refunding pur-
poses alone as long as the present con-
stitution is in existence

RAIyF ALL DURING
1912 HEAVIEST
UPON RECORD
OF BUREAU In GEORGIA
Nearly Six Feet Fell in
South Georgia

Never before in the history of the
state of Georgia has there been as
havy rainfall throughout the entire
state as during the year 1912 Compil
alton of the statess record taken from
the various weather bureaus stations
in Georgia shows that the average rain
fall for the twelve months was 63.25
inches, an excess of 1926 inches over
the normal rainfall of so inches per
year.
This excess is greater than l incn
per month. In the records nine sta
tons show more than inches of rain.
Thish eavy average is puzzling meteor
'ologists. They are awaiting with more
than usual interest the passing of the
next two or three years to see if it can
be the result of any Chronological
change.
A few Of the stations have reported
individually heavier rainfalls in past
years, but never before have the great
majority of them experienced such an
excess of moisture. The nearest ap-
proach to it was in 1901, when the av-
erage for Georgia was 575S inches,
and that was nearly inches less for
the year than the present statistics
show.
The wettest months of the year were
March and April with $50 and 721
inches respectively and only three
months in the year showed a deficiency
in the normal rainfall. They were
August, November and December, and
the deficiency was so slight as not to
lower the annual figures to any great
extent
The stations that show more than II
inches rainfall for the past twel e
months are Clayton 1887 and Dia
mond 1905, in the northern part of the
state; Butler III, Dublin 1890, Mar
shalville 1901 and Statesboro 1904, in
the middle section, and Fort Gaines
7O.6S, brownsville 7121 and Valdosta
715O, in South Georgia.

AFFINITY MAY PROVE
EXPENSIVE TO WOMAN
Suit May Follow ElOpGmeNt
Of Couple

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 6.-Mrs. lone
Pidcock, who is alleged to have paid
all the expenses of an elopement
honeymoon with another woman's hus-
band, is going to find her affinity still
more expensive if the outraged wife
succeeds in getting verdict in a
damage suit filed here.
Mrs. Effe Glenn, whose husband,
the Atlanta contractor, is accused of
running off with Mrs. Pidcock, has
filed suit for 5000, for the alienation
of her husbands affections.
81 don't want my husband back, .
Mrs. Glenn is quoted as saying, but
he was helping support me and his
two little boys, and now that Mr.
Pidcock has him she might as we'll be
made to pay something for him. l
understand she is amply able to do
so, too"
No less remarkable is the letter
written by Mr.. Pidcock, president of
the Georgia Northern railway, in
which he says to Mrs. Glenn:
81 have just returned home and
learned of the action of my wife ana
your husband / don't know you per.
sonally, but l am sure Mr.. Glenn
has made a mighty poor swap, since
my wife is not worth anything. l have
already filed suit for divorce against
Mrs. Pidcock"
Notwithstanding the suit and the
letter both Mr. Glenn and Mrs. Pid-
cock, who are happy each in the 9TH
er's society, are said to be enjoying
life to the fullest.

GOATS TO CUT The
HIGH COST OF LIVING
CattIGmGn Declare Meat Is
As Good As Beef

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. Gel Paso peo-
pie and all other people in these Unit
ed States who complain of the high
price of beef in the retail markets
should eat more goat meat. 1t is
cheaper and just as good when prop
erly prepared and properly cooked,
is a remark which is heard in cattle
circles at times, and one which is
becoming more frequent
Cattle prices are going to come
down with a crash pretty soon if these
continued sky-high prices are not
checked, because the people will quit
buying beef" is another remark that
is heard at times. An answer is Civ
en- to that by the other cowmen, who
say that it is true already that many
people have quit buying beef, but that
at the same time cattle are growing
scarcer, and that portion OF the pub
lie which continues and will continue
to eat beef is keeping prices up.
"Goats-eat goat meat" says the
goat man, and he declares that folk,
ought to read their Bibles more, and
they would remember that in the pa
triaarchal days, those times when
Abraham went down into the lower
country and later, when Isaac and ia
cob had great focks and herds moving
grass, that the kid was the piece de
resistance of those people, and they
were people who were epicures, even
if they did live a nomadic life.
On the Kansas City market a few
days ago, a bunch of 1876 New Mexico
yearling sheep, which averaged 70
pounds, sold for $5.35 hundred On
the same day, in the same market, a
shipment of 124 goats which averaged
"A pounds, sold for 1910 a hundred.
1t will be observed that the weights
were practically the same. Now, why
this wide difference in price may be
asked-the mutton at $685. a hundred

DANGER TO MEATS IN
THIS WARM WEATHER
Farmers Of Sumter May SuS.
tain Loss

The unusually warm weather pre-
vaiIing here during the past three days
may, if continued, entail heavy loss
upon Sumter county farmers in the
spelling of their meat supply. During
the cold weather last Wednesday and
Thursday many fine hogs were killed
one farmer alone having killed twenty
very large ones. Warm weather fol
lowing may cause considerable loss
unless the fresh meat is packed away
in ice, at additional expense. until j
cold wave comes to insure the safety
of the meats.

and the goat meat at $50 a hundred.
Some persons would say the reason
for the big difference in price is that
a great majority of people will not
eat goat meat-if they kne wit to be
such.
