And when Elisha was come into the
house, behold, the child was dead, and
laid upon his bed
He went in, therefore, and shut the
door upon them twain, and prayed
unto the Lord.
And he went up, and lay upon the
child and put his mouth upon his
mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes,
and his hands upon his hands: and he
stretched himself upon the child, and
the flesh Of the child waxed warm.
Then he returned, and walked in
the house to and fro; and went up
and stretched himself upon him: and
the child sneezed seven times, and
the child opened his eyes.
And he called Gehazi, and said,
Gail this Shunammite. SO he called
her. And when she was come in unto
him, he said, Take up thy SON
Then she went in, and fell at his

Charles Chaplin
Sues AS He Is
Not Funny Much

NEW YORK, April 22.-Charles
Chaplin, the millionaire movie actor,
has gone to law to protect his highly
valuable reputation as a comedian. He
has started the first suit ever filed be-
cause picture is not funny enough.
Chaplin has brought suit against the
Essaney Film Manufacturing Company,
his former employers, and the Vita
graph-Lubin- Selig- Essanay, Inc, for
permanent injunction against the dis
tr ution of th2 m ion picture known
as Charlie CT aplin's Burlesque on Car
men," The action is in the Supreme
Court Of New York.
Chaplin is now working on a salary
Of $6700OO for the Mutual Film Cor
poration, which fact he cites as evil
dence of the great value of his name
as a comedian.
Chaplin's salary is the equivalent Of
six per cent. return on an invested CAP
iial of $11,166,666, which may be taken
as a measure Of the value o. his name
la comedian.
The actor charges that the picture as
originally made by him was in two
reels of one thousand feet each and
that it is being released in four
padded reels of such quality as to
seriously injure his fame.
The actor charges that the picture as

records Of the county and it is now
ripening Soon it will be ready for
market, and quick sale of any sur
plus is assured. This crop will in
time be one of the boasts of the South
land, and it should be gratifying TO
the citizens of Sumter county that
they are practically pioneers in
bringing this product to the attention
of people all over the South, who are
firm in believing that the only crop in
the country is King Cotton.
The lack of moisture has hampered
the oat crop, but the recent rains did
this crop worlds of good and it is
now rapidly coming to the front. The
plant this year is small, due to lack
OF moisture, but the amount planted,
and the quality is excellent. So no
fears need be held for its final success.
This crop is very valuable as feed for
stock, and it has mainly been planted
in Sumter county for farm animals. In
recent years, however, quite a large
amount has found its way to Ameri-
Gus, and ready sale has always been
tie result. The amount planted, this.
year, seems to assure Americas a mar
ket for oats of the county
Peanuts Being Planted.
1t is also matter of comment that
tie potato crop will be excellent ir
quality, and large in acreage. But
tie most surprising development Of
tie year to those who keep in touch
With the farmers, is the large acreage
being devoted to the production Of
peanuts in 1916. This is compare
lively a new crop added to the long
list of products capable of being made
in Sumter county, and with financial
success. Nearly every planter has a
good, big acreage in peanuts this year.
and the yield promises to eclipse that
of any other county in the state. This
is due to the fact that facilities have
been made in Americas for the hand!
ing of the oil contained in this pro-
duct This oil is capable of being
made into oil-cake, which has been
proven to be Of prime value as feed
for stock. This industry promises to
be one of the largest in the country.
and as peanuts can be cheaply pro-
duced, a large crop will mean a
bunch of money over expenses.
