Atlanta.
Mr.. Wallace numbered his friends
here by the hundreds, and for many

FIRED BY LIGHTNING.

Thursday afternoon, the storm
which threatened this city seems to
have spent it's fury up about Dalzell
and 20 have done considerable dam
age In that section. The heavy down.
pour there was almost equal to a
cloudburst and for about five minutes
the water seemed to come down in q
solid sheet.
just after this heavy rain, terrific
electric storm occurred which set on
IRE two large barns, one belonging to
Mr. "A. F. Smith, the other to Mr.. A
c. Thompson. Both these structures
were completely destroyed, together
with their contents. The barn be-
longing to Mr.. Smith was filled with
hay%and wheat. which were destroy
ed, besides about 15O bushels of corn
stored In the barn. There was no
Insurance on this building.
The barn of Mr.. Thompson was
struck by lightning about five min
utes after the other barn had caught.
Though heavy rain was falling, the
hapies could not be extinguished, and
though the building was completely
destroyed none of the live stock was
burned.

MI Wick Baula claims to he the
champion cabbage grower of South
O''l 'iiha and he has a just claim to
TINS honor, for he has grown on his
'ai H. just north of the city, cabbages.
some OF which weigh TWENTY-FIVE
pounds. He has almost any number
weighing from twelve to eipbteen
POUNDS. and a few extra large heads
which will tip the scales at twenty
five.
The plants, which were ordered
from Cuba, were set out about three
weeks after that big freeze in Feb
rnaiy. Although Wick has only one
fifth acre in cabbages, he expects to
realize not less than $50 on them.

is IT "JUST A COLD"?
Sumter People Should Ask Themselves
This Question.

Don't say: "Its just a cold"
1t may turn into backache, rheu-
matte aches, achy joints.
Or other serious sickness that
comes from weak kidneys.
Colds are due to congestion.
Congestion makes the kidneys over
work to filter the blood.
Colds often leave the kidneys weak.
First break the cold;
Then use Doan's Kidney Pills TO
avert the kidney dangers.
Let this Sumter resident tell YOU
about them.
l.. j. Boniface, iron moulder, 10
hehdrick Street, says: Heavy
hitting brought on kidney trouble and
my pack became so stiff and lame that
could hardly stoop. / had dizzy
''eauaches and the kidney secretions
annoyed me by passing too freely.
'he least cold l caught settled on
my Kidneys and made me worse

The Mystery Explained.

Clifton Hess. an employee of the
Pennsylvania railroad ut Shelbyville,
Ind. relates the indianapolis News,
looked out the window of the freight
depot the other day and noticed Il
woman. half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly;
moving down the railroad track a few
feet. She seemed to he strolling leis1;
urely along. covering about It foot u
minute.
Curious to determine the reason for
her actions. Hess walked outside to
get Il better view. Then it was all
explained. The woman had II big
Rhode Island Red rooster with a
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been eaky car of wheat
along the railroad. and the rooster. OBJ
livious to all else. WAS calmly filling
his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later OH during the day the good
news must have spread for there APP
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached to
them by strings. AS the ground be-
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

1t is said that the reason why sew

PARsIMoNY is NOT ECONOMY
Many People Able to Buy What They
Want Use Situation as Excuse
for Going Without.

1t is a curious and mortifying con-
dition of the prevailing ECONOMY that
many people abundantly able to buy
what they want use the situation asan
excuse for going without. What does
this profit them? 1t merely makes
them richer at time when the talk
is of being poorer, says the Hartford
Cnurant
Food Is one thing and clothes and
other articles that shoppers buy
are in a distinctly other class.
When Smith cut down the sugar,
there is more sugar for Jones,
and the supply of sugar is limited. But
when Mrs. Smith goes without cloak
for which she can easily pay and
which she expected to buy this season,
she is not helping Mrs. Jones to get
it; she is simply misering along in her
own way, and to her small ability driv-
ing poor people out of work and dis
couraging merchants whose capital is
invested. This isn't economy, it is par
sInnny.
If everybody should quit making
purchases. what would become OF
manufacturers or dealers and of the
larger number of workers? 1t is q
good time to keep level head. Many
who watch the tendency of business
say frankly that people of limited
means are less saving than those who
can we'll afford to get what they
want.
