"A boy who loves his mother would
never smoke cigarettes. She may not
tell you she despises it, but while you
are smoking it she is thinking of the
years of toll and care she devoted to
bring you up to be a success. and knows
that every draw of cigarette smoke is a
setback to your career. So I say again
to the boys of this country: Don't chew,
don't drink, don't smoke. Have clean
character. Be an honor to your parents

consequences mellowed by success in its
struggles against obstacles after the war.
and turned into the deepest loyalty to
the flag by the Spanish-.American war,
and Il sense of a full share in the power
and responsibility of the government Of
the country.
He was a southerner through and
through. He had the traditions of the
south deep seated in his nature. But he
had the seif-controi that enabled him
with entire self-respect to pass unnoticed
expressions of prejudice or criticism
toward what he held dear made thought
lessly. or upon the assumption that he
was not a southern man.
Archie went to his death in great
disaster that attracted the attention OF
the world. We do not know the details,
but we know that women and children
were rescued and he went down with the
ship. Returning from a much-needed va
cation, full of what he had seen and en-
joyed he was fastening again to take up
the duties in the beautiful and stately
White House that should know his
earthly form no more. When | heard

that generous supplies of Thanksgiving

1t is said that Oliver, when he is

SWIPED CASE OF WH|sKEY
AND MADE FOR WOODS

Albert Price, alias "Fishhead" an
his pal, Bill Howard, are in Castle
Sumter charged with a smooth piece
of work, which relieved a white resi-
dent of Sumter of case of twenty
four pints of As centimetre coffin var
nish which he bought in Jacksonville
for medicinal purposes, no doubt.
The two smokes saw the white man
as he bore his prize from the express
office to livery stable and put it in
his buggy until time to go home. They
also mapped out a plan to capture
the goods and open a tiger forthwith.
The negro in charge OF the stable
was told by one of them that all of
the mules and horses were escaping
via the backgate, and when he hurried
ly left the stable one of the smokes
grabbed the treasure chest and high
balled for the woods. Policeman Sum
merford and Worthy later captured
both.
1t was a smooth job and indicates
the idle Americas coon as a past mas
ter in the art of living without work

Remarkable Statement of

How Finally Cured.

Pittsfeld, Mass. -" My little girl now
six years old was born with hard cold
and very delicate. Every winter she
would suffer from Group and poor diges-
ton. DR.. Currier recommended Vinol
and within week she had improved
considerably, and her appetite increased
SO she wanted things to eat that had
disguised her before.
"On the first bottle she gained one and
one-half pounds, and now at the age of
six Vinol has made her solid, healthy,
good-natured child, and while sick she
was so cross and fretful grew discour-
aged and was worn out taking care of
her, Mrs. GEORGE WAGNER, Pitts
field, Mass.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, Is wonderful appetizer, and yoy
can see delicate, ailing children improve
day by day under its use. 1t enriches
the blood, builds up the body, making
pale, delicate children rugged and rosy.
We ask all parents of weak, sickly,
delicate children in this vicinity to try
Vinol, with the understanding that If
1t fails to benefit your little ones, we
return your money.
