PLANTING time IN SUMTER
is GOING TO Be LATE

Farmers coming to Americas yes
terday despite the freezing weather, ex
pressed the fear that crop planting
would be late this spring if the rains
keep up as they have been doiag
of late and the farmers are beginning
to get a good deal worried about i,
With a heavy rain all day Thursda.7 z,
following the downpour of Saturday
and those of the preceding week, the
fields are so thoroughly soaked that It
will be some time, even with no more
rain, before anything can be planted.
In the fields that were plowed and
broken up all ready to plant, the
earth has become packed and will nee
essitate being broken up again. The
trouble, however, is how to get in
them to do any work as the ground -
so soft and Doggy in almost every
field that it would hardly bear the
weight of a man and still less of i
horse and pillow
March is the time to put in every
thing almost in this section and corn
should already have been planted for
the early crops. Watermelon plant
ing should begin now also, but there is
no chance to do anything at all until
the soil dries off sufficiently and from
present prospects that will not be soor.

POLITICS ARE GETTING
LIVELY IN LEE COUNTY
Candidates for Office Busy
Down There

Lee sburg, Ga, March New life
been infused into the political contests
in Lee county by the entrance into the
race for treasurer of two more prom
inent men. These are B. 1. McKenney.
Of smithville, and D. w. Tison, Of
I Leesburg. There we're two men in the
race prior to the entrance of the latest
candidates, so that there are now four
candidates after this plum, with the
probability Of more entering.
The candidates for treasurer now in
oIude Messrs. B, I. Mckinney D. W
Tison, S. B. Smith and Goode Price
One other entry has been made also in
another contest, that for county com
missioner, NJ w. suggs, of smithville,
has announced for commissioner.
He is the only candidate who has
announced, as these places seem to
&c begging. Lee county, like many
other counties in the state, still clings
to the antiquated plan Of electing a
treasurer instead Of having this WORK
included in that done by the commits
sioners or by some good bank
As there remain nearly two months
before the primary, it is believed that
here are number of candidates who
have not yet decided to enter the races
for the various positions. These are

CAlOMEL A GREAT
DANGER TO MANY
Has Bad Effect on Some DOdsOn's
Liver-TOne Takes its Place and
is Perfectly Harmless.

If you will inquire at Hooks Phar-
macy, Howell's Pharmacy, or w. A.
Rembert's you will find that Dodson's
Liver-Tone is guaranteed to be a safe,
reliable remedy to take the place OF
calomel and, a harmless liver stimu-
liant having no bad after-effects. In
deed, any Of these firms will refund
purchase price (50c) without ques-
ton if you are in any way dissatis-
fed with this vegetable liquid
1t is very unwise to take calomel,
even dangerous, as many people suf-
fer from the poison afterwards, even
though they may appear at first to
be temporarily relieved. On the
other hand, Dodson's Liver-Tone works
easily and naturally (really assisting
nature) with no pain nor grippe and
correcting all bilious conditions and
ills of constipation, clearing away
the sick headache and the coated
tongue, Frightening up the dulled
brain and strengthening the weakened
body at the same time that it removes
collected waste from the overburden-
ed ytssem.
Those who have tried Dodson' 3
Liver-Tone have found that it made
them healthier and happier. A test
may prove of great benefit to you
right now. advt

1.-THE BLACK THIR-
TEEN"

n Effective HAYES reads in
the paper that THE Black
IL Thirteen are actively pur-
suing their nefarious occu-
patton in spite Of all endeavors Of
the police to suppress them. He
has already instructed one Of his
scouts to investigate. and the latter
now reports that he has traced the
forged notes. which the gang have
been circulating. to the house of a
millionairess-Miss Dennison.
Hayes obtains post as footman
at Miss Dennison's. The forged
notes are put into circulation at a
gaming table. He discovers the
ringieaders to be ''Dr. Preston" and
John Verden, his nephew" and
Slim Jack, and that these are to
meet the next evening in a water
side saloon. Hayes enters the den
and watches. but is discovered. In
the scramble. however. he manages
TO capture slim Jack" who is no
other than Miss Dennison herself.
She pleads with him that she has
been forced into 1t, and impIores
Hayes to rescue her Hayes dis
guises her as her servant, Bob.
Miss Dennison tells Hayes that
DR.. Preston is waiting for her in
the Central Station. and Hayes
makes off to capture him. slim
Jack" however. is playing a double
and dangerous game. Hayes is a
minute too late. but. hailing a motor
cab. gives chase and reaches a
railway bridge as the train is pass
ing under. A daring leap and he
is on the roof of the train, and
quickly makes his way to DIR. Pres
tons compartment. The latter
jumps from the train as it crosses
bridge, into the river below.
Hayes returns just in time to see
the nephew entering his cham
bers. Inside are John Eerdcn and
Miss Dcnnison. Two railway por-
ters deliver n large trunk. Out of
it springs Hayes. and at the point
of his revolver seizes Verden.
Sim Jack" gets away. At the po-
lice station Hayes disguises himself
AS Nerden's "uncle." and makes

Verden, until the latter. unable to
contain his rage any longer. cries
