ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

| hereby announce myself 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, Ga, 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 i'm
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.
Advt. G. S. GARDNER.

you and / were young
When the buds of springtime blossom

The gardene's brightest glories by

But, oh, the sweet, sweet violets, the
flowers that opened first!
There is no place like the old place,

Where we lifted first our eyelids on

From the milk-white breast that

Where the dear eyes glistened DER us,

There is no friend like the old friend,

No greeting like, his welcome, no hon.

Fame is the scentless sunfiower, with
gaudy crown of gold.
But friendship is the breathing rose,
with sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love that
we courted in our pride;
Tho our leaves are falling, falling,
and we are fading side by side.
There are blossoms all around us,
with the colors of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine
when the light of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times

There is no place like the old place

There are no friends like our old

There are no loves like our old loves
God bless our loving wives!

PAYING DOUBLE PRICE

Now that the smallpox scare here
has practically subsidized so much sol
in fact that by MANY it is said that the
danger of further trouble from this
source is very small, it is well for the
people of Americas to take a glance
at the cause of the trouble.
1t is pretty generally understood
that a cheap carnival here the latter
part of last year appeared to enter
tain the people of Americas, with
several pronounced cases of smallpox
among those who were connected with
this uplifting source of entertainment.
A large number of the people of the
city mingled with this infected crowd
without thinking of the danger.
A local charity gained the sum Of
one nuHuI eu uolldIS lIOHl the Cal lINdI'
the city having foregone its right and
privilege to tax the carnival in order
that the benevolent Institution should
gain this sum of money fer its thor
oughly meritorious and charitable
purposes. But was it worth the price?
Has not the municipal government
paid out of its pocket at least as much
as the carnival paid to charity?
There is no criticism to be made OF
the motive which prompted the man
agement of the benevolent organiza-
ton to endeavor to gain a sum Of
money for that cause by means of the
carnival, But in the light of subse-
quent occurrences has not the city
paid dearly for doubtful aid to one of
its worthy causes? Was it the wisest
manner in which to raise the money?
Would not far better purposes have
been served if the city had made a
direct donation to the Hospital and
have barred the lewd and pestilence-
stricken crowd of cheap entertain
ers" from it's door?
Throughout the state there are
many carnivals like the one that came
here who seek to dodge the payment
of a just license to the city under the
guise of paying stipulated amount
to a public charity. Under the same
guise they seek to graft newspaper ad-
yertising and other publicity, for
which they should in all due right pay
as do other reputable firms that are
permitted to conduct their business
within the confines of a city and by
permission of the municipal govern
ment.
1t would seem to be far better for
any charitable organization in it's
campaign for funds to use more direct
methods of gaining its ends. To stamp
a city with the curse of smallpox, to
be indirectly the agent for the COM
mission of murder and to entail heavy
expense upon the municipal govern
ment for the eradication of contag-
ious disease and maintenance of san
itary conditions,-is the petty "dona-
ton" made by the carnival to charity
worth the price?

ABDUL HAMID'S TREASURE
HOUSE.

From the Wide World Magazine)
It was only specially favored trav-
elers who could obtain permission to
view Abdul Hamid's treasure house
in Stamboul and they had to be pre-
pared to spend about $25 in bak-
shceh. This was more excusable,
perhaps, when one considers the ex-
tensive ceremony and the numerous
officials required for this sight The
high treasurer had 10 attend in per
son with some 80 underlings, who
ranged themselves with folded hands
IN two rows outside the first door
while he solemnly removed the seals
and turned his key. Immediately
within this door was a huge iron
gate such as might protect fortress.
Even when you were at last let loose
among the glittering gems you were
still accompanied by a vigilant crowd
Of attendants. who watched your

MONEY MADNESS IN FICTION.

(From the New York Herald.)
The money madness that afflicts the
nation and the consequent subordi-
nation of all nobler sentiments and
ambitions to the mere acquisition of
wealth have set their indelible stamp
on the literature OF the day. We have
now a distinct school of fiction in
which the possessor Of an automobile
is defied and his ability to give costly
dinners at tables banked with the he
roine's favorable flowers made the
subject Of fervent eulogy.
In a recent novel, which Is not
without merit, writer of the gentle
sex tries to win sympathy for her he
ro by drawing a pathetic picture OF
his poverty. He is young and geni-
us and his earnings are but S27 a
week. To the brain touched by money
madness his case is indeed a pitiful
one No automo obile for him; neither
tango nor turkey trot; no auction for
high stakes, nor tables banked with
flowers.
Yet 1t would seem to some graz
boards that in bestowing youth, geni-

the merchants of Gotham asked that

eel post service. In particular, the
special stamp and zone provisions In
the law have never won much popu-
lar approval. 1t is contrary TO the
latter-day policy Of the postoffice de-
partment to complicate the stamping
process. The privilege Of using oral
nary postage stamps on special de-
livery letters was accepted by the pun'
lie with expressions of unmistakaoie
appreciation. Every step toward the
elimination OF red tape Is gratefully
recognized by users Of the mails. The

For some time The san Francisco
Examiner" has been printing in its
Sunday edition a series
Crime Does OF articles designed TO
Not Pay. focus attention on the
lruism; Crime does not
pay. An illustration that drives this
truth home with great force has been
afforded by the trial and conviction
Of a member OF the police force, COM
ments the san Francisco paper. He
has found now to his sorrow and ruin
that crime does not pay.
But infinitely greater than what
ever punishment he may have in
CURED is the punishment which must
be endured by those dependent upon
him. 1t is the irony OF fate that often
the innocent must suffer with the
guilty. In this particular case the
hardest burden does not fall upon the
convicted policeman, but upon the
wife and child he leaves to share the
suffering and pain and humiliation Of
it all For them no man can feel
aught but keenest sympathy. Their
lives have been shattered, their fond
est hopes destroyed and disgrace has
come suddenly upon them through a
chain of circumstances utterly be-
yond their own influence. Others
seem destined to share their misfor-
tune before the curtain has fallen on
this particular drama Of outraged
justice. There is a poignant sadness
in the plight of the wives and chill
dren involved in this mess.
Thus 1t ever has been and ever will
be while men yield to the will o. the
wisp of crime which lures on to dis
aster. Such shocks as these are
needed that eventually the eyes of
men be opened to see clearly that
crime does not and cannot pay.
