hand had been injured by flying glass
in an explosion, was formerly reg
ular member of the Brenau faculty,

WRECK OF THE 1910
BY HAROLD CARTER.

1t was slack evening in the office,
I remember, and group of US were
sitting chatting around the reporters
table farthest from Dunning, the night
editor, who had looked around rather
frowningly once or twice. as If the
conversation disturbed him.
Breads f1ancee was to arrive that
evening on the 1910 from Washing
ton, and Broad, who had been cele-
brating in honor of the event, was
telling us all the details of their re-
cent quarrel and reconciliation
"Sh-h!" said some one; and just
then boy entered with late edi-
ton of the Planet" wet from the
press, and handed it to Dunning.
"Mr Broad" he said sharply, and
then. changing his mind, left his seat
and hurried toward US. "Mr. Broad,
| want you to go out to Crayfeld in
stantly. The 1910 from Washington
has been wrecked outside the station.
Hurry, and telephone all the news.
And say, try to get list of the dead"
My God!" said Broad, and sank
down into his seat. He buried his
face in his hands and his shoulders
shook convulsively. Somebody ex-
planned the situation in few words,
and Cummings face took on an express
sion of intense sympathy. He placed
one arm about Broad's shoulders and
drew him to his feet.
"Too bad, old man." he said. But
guess you'll be crazy now unless you
get to Crayfield as soon as possible,
so perhaps it would be the kindest
thing to let you cover the assignment"
Eyes, I'll CO." cried Broad, pulling
himself together.
Then, one after another, he detailed
us; one to the railroad Offices, anoth-

CONGRESSMAN Sees
RUIN IN SUFFRAGE

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S.-Declar-
ing that the cause of woman's suffrage
is doing more to ruin the home, blast
the moral hopes of the country's future
and to masculinize the women than
any other thing in the World, Repre-
sentative Thomas ]. Hefiin, of Ala
bama, erstwhile supporter of the far
sex at all time and on all occasions,
has come out squarely against votes

The Alabama congressman, in an ad-
dress at the Baptist church. at Falls
Church, Virginia suburb of Washing
ton, threw bomb into the ranks of the
scuffragettes of that community ana
advised the Virginians to take no part
in the pageant which American women
will give In Washington March 3.
Religion will do more to uplift
American manhood and womanhoo1

pack into ballot box in six minths, -

"A NATION OF DYSPEPTICS'
American People Have Been Called

Hurried and careless habits of eat
ing, irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonic, tend to weaken the
digestive organs and result in differ
ent forms of stomach trouble.
If you are one of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu-
larly and take Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic.
Mr.. w. E. Warehouse, of Portland,
Me-, says: my experience leads me
to believe that no other remedy equals
Vinol for stomach troubles. After
suffering for years and trying all
kinds of remedies without help, Vinol
cured my stomach trouble and built
me up so can eat heartily without
the slightest distress"
The recovery of Mr.. Warehouse
was due to the combined action OF

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.


l hereby announce myself a candi-
date for Sheriff OF Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of W. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the jail and prisoners inn
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that If elected. Mr.. ],
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

SUMTER'S ROADS WINNERS
OF TRADE FOR COUNTY
Good Roads Are Valuable
Adjunct

That Sumter's good roads are trade
winners for Americas is evidenced in
the coming here daily of farmers not
only from remote sections of Sumter,
but from other counties where they
are accessible to good road leading
this way. Americas is, of course, their
natural trading point, but with poorly
worked roads heretofore some Of
these farmers have made other nearer
towns in South Georgia their mar
ket.
The improvement not long since Of
another road out from Americas has
served to attract a number of farm
ers this way. With good roads they
can haul fertilizers and farm sup
plies with more than former ease and
facility, while attractive prices OF
goods and accommodations afforded
by Americas merchants is strong
inducement.

WOMAN HEADS GANG

Pierre. June 4.-The Sullv
county authorities appear Ia
think that in the arrest of Mrs.
Della Beck they have secured
the head of the horse rustline
organization which has been
working in that county for sew
eral years. The woman is in iail
waiting hearing on the charge
which has been made against
her. The arrest Of Mrs. Beck
was one of the results Of the ar
rest of Sidney Dickey who was
stopped at Watertown with stol.
en- horses in his possession which
had been taken from the Riggle
farm i'm eastern Sully county.
Dickey made no attempt to put
up fight and admitted his guilt
in the preliminary hearing be-
fore a Justice, and Judge Hughes
will probably hold a special term
of court in SnlIy county in a
few days to hear the plea of
DGkey. 1t is claimed that the
plan Of the rnstlers was to rum
their horses west, across the Mis-
souri, river, and crossing east A.
gain at points north or south, to
work them through to a farm
owned by one Of the gang in
Minnesota. This is the theory
put up, which is left to the
Development Of the trial Of Mrs.
Beck, and others for whom war;
rants were sworn out last
to develop or disprove.

DeadwOod, June A suit tina
involved $189, 900 worth Of bonds
issued by the city Of Rapid City
which was allowed to lie dormant
for twenty years, was dismissed
by Judge Elliott in the United
States district court here on mo-
ton Of the plaintiff, c. T.
Denct of Chicago.
The suit was the largest ever
brought against South Dakota
city and covered money raised
twenty years ago by Rapid City
to aid the construction of the
Missouri river and Western rail
road, running to Mystic, the road
now known as the Crouch line
or the r. G. B. H. and w.
w. T. Coad was trying to raise
money to build the road and Ra-
pM City desired to assist him. 1t
was found that such a bond issue
was illegal SO the issue was made
to Ed Cuthbertson, now dead,
for alleged city improvements
and some outstanding bonds
were pooled with the issue of
100000. A part of this indebt-
edness was later paid by the
city and $25, 900 in bonds were
turned over to Lead and as. 600
sent to Chicago. Denet appeared
in the present suit as the in
nocent purchaser of the 10000
and sued for this amount az
principal and the interest dur
ing the twenty years, amounting
to $lS9, 600. 1t is believed that
another suit will be started by
Denet.
