Sticks to Post
Spite of Injury

1t takes more than the loss of a big
toe to put a Sumter county convict
guard out of the running. This was
clearly demonstrated this morning
when Mr.. Yoemans, guard superin-
tending the work just west of the
city, calmly arose from &C hair in the
doctors office, got his hat and strobe
out of the place and back to his job.
True, Yoemans limped just wee
bit, for the doctor had cut off his big
toe, but nevertheless he's back on the
Job, bossing the work down at the new
bridge across Muckalee creek.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock this morning when Mr.. Yoe-
mans accidentally pulled the trigger
of his rife while the muzzle Of the gun
was resting on his foot. Aside from
the loss of the toe and few minutes
from the job the nervy convict guard
suffered little from the accident.

AMER|CUS GIRL|ES

What's the use OF going to a show

adays?" Americas men are asking. I'VE
have just as good show right here
on the streets every afternoon. In
terest in the American drama is fall
ing off since the skirts began to grow
shorter"
Truly the skirt of today is calculat-
ed to cause a riot. Every week it
seems to creep an inch or two away
from the boot tops, and the boots the
girls are wearing these days are not
low cuts by several inches. The fash
ion pages say the ballet skirt" will
be the rage in the spring, and will
reach just faint bit below the knee.
Local dry goods dealers say the
short skirt will put an end to the
cotton stocking" movement.
'No woman is going to wear cheap
cotton hose when it is on as public
exhibition as now," they say. 1--WE are
ordering more silks"

japanese Pin
Cushion Free
Given Away With 10 Cent Purchase of
Tuxedo TOyaccO.

Every lady in the town ought to be
stuck on" this pin cushion offered by
the American Tobacco Company. To
start with, the cushions are the neatest
novelty seen here in this line. They
are shaped to represent cunning little
Japanese tea pots, with a handle by
which the cushion can be hung up
against the wall in a convenient place.
In addition from the smokers point
of view, when he buys a tin of Tuxedo
he is getting the full worth of his dime
in the most popular and delightful
smoking tobacco on the market. Every
smoker knows Tuxedo Process.
Tuxedo is made from the highest grade
Kentucky Burley, treated by the ori-
ginal Tuxedo Process so that it abso
lutely cannot bite the tongue. This
fragrant tobacco is equally good for
pipe or cigarette.
Inasmuch as the dealers supply of
these clever pin cushions is limited, il
is advisable for you to make your
Tuxedo purchase as soon as you see
the sign in the dealers window. Only
one cushion to each purchaser of a ten
cent tin of Tuxedo.
