The New Overland Model.

In this issue an attractive adver-
tisement will be found which sets
forth the merits of the new Overland
a car. Especial attention is called to
the three-point cantilever springs
that make this car ride as easy as one
of the heavy high priced cars. Take
ride in one of the Overland cars
and you will be convinced that every
statement concerning these cars is
absolutely true. 1t is marvel when
the low price and comfort of the car
are taken into consideration. If you
contemplate purchasing car, call on
Mr.. J. P. Bland, manager of the Con-
solidated Auto Company of John
ston, or Mr.. j. D. Holstein, Jr., of
Edgefeld. They will take pleasure in
demonstrating every feature of these
cars.

Next Lyceum Entertainment.

Coyla Spring, one of the nations
best readers will delight you on Mon
day, December Is, if you will give
her chance. She has possibly read
to more people than any other one
person on the Lyceum platform.
Reading is not her only talent. She
has superb voice, and when accom-
panied by her sister, Miss Lotus
Spring on the cello, you will have to
draw straws to decide which gave
you the most pleasure. Tell your
neighbors about it.
Remember that the Lyceum course
is yours and we are running it for
you. Don't fail to back up your own
enterprise.

are crossing the Durocs and the
Hampshires on the "pine rooters" tc
make better killing hog. The Hamp'
shire seems to be in the majority
excepting the native "pine rooters. y
These people do not have the stock
law, condition that makes livestock
raising very hard. The cattle are
badly infested with ticks, and the
hogs are openly exposed to cholera
by allowing to run to the four winds.
The roads are fine. We passed
over more rough road from here to
Augusta than we did in the State of
Georgia. Some say that Southern
Georgia is the coming farming Sec
tion of the nation, and this is true
unless the other states awaken to the
road facts; because good roads will
be better means of building that
country. We can not say that the
schools are any better than our own.
In fact, they are not so good. This
condition exists because of the large
and careless landlord and the lack
of children in the communities.
The banking and merchandising
interests are in substantial condi-
tion from all we could learn. We no
ticed that great many of the houses
are doing cash business. Several
bankers Of the Valdosta section of
The state told US they carried over
lore overdue notes the first year
the weevil hit them heavily than ever
before, but they did not know of a
single bank that had lost on account
of the weevil. The merchants report
the, same experiences. At present,
they say there is more money in the
country all the year around than be-
fore the weevil came. This is because
the market season is scattered over
the year instead Of the fall only.
Land values seem to be going on up
in spite of the weevil. A great deal
of property is being sold. The weevil
has not stopped the movement of
home buying and cutting up the
large farms.
While our crowd to make the trip
was small, we feel benefited our
selves by the time and money spent
and now feel that we know better
boil weevil conditions than when we
read of them. We think it we'll worth
any mans time to spend several days
through this section getting acquain-
ted with weevil methods and weevil
farming.

Vienna, Aug. 2S.-(A. PD-News
dispatches from Budapest and edito-
rial comment in Hungarian newspa-
pers very generally express the belle.
that events in Hungary presage a
return to the monarchal form OF

the Christian nationalist party arc

Vienna, Aug. Pa. PD-Advices
received here from Budapest indi-
cate that before the formation of the
new Hungarian cabinet by stephen
Friedrich there were suspicious that
the Rumanians were intriguing
against the formation of new gov
ernment. It is stated that as late as
Monday the Rumanians had declared
they would not recognize any min
istrv that did not favor their inter-
ests.
Elements favoring a political re-
union have been very active in Buda-
pest and it is alleged that Hungarian
politicians seemed to be completely
under Rumanian influence, there be-
ing some skepticism as to the possi-
bility of the peace conference afford
ing Hungary any relief

BANDIT DENIES
HE WAS KILLED
Renteria LeisureIy Spends
Time in Ell Paso While Be-
ing Hunted in Mexico.
PLAYED SOLDIERS TRICK

Ell Paso, Tex Aug. 30.--While
part of Mexico for him, Jesus Rem
terra, leader of the bandit gang which
captured and held for ransom the
army aviators Peterson and Davis,
was securely making his way about
in United States territory. according
to a letter purporting to come from
the bandit chief, printed in the Doug
las (Ariz) Daily Dispatch. Civil
and military authorities, to whom
the letter was shown after 1t had
been received through the mails, de-
clared it to be a fake.
The letter said:
at caused me great surprise when
I read your paper of Tuesday, 26th
instant, saying that had been killed
and that the notice had been con-
firmed, and, seeing that such notice
is absurd, l wish, therefore, that you
would let me relate some facts about
it to convince you that | am still
alive.
II crossed to Mexico a few days
ago in company of four friends of
mine.
"One day we were wandering in
the Ojinaga district when we dis
covered three men a mile ahead of
us. At first we thought they were
Mexican government patrols, but
when we approached 1 realized thai
they were travellers.
Then an idea struck me that there
We're two Americans in the bunch,
and they were officers of the United
States government, and decided to
hold them for ransom.
when we got the money we knew
perfectly well somebody would try to
capture us and | told my friends to
come to the United States again; we
recrossed to the United States. Next
day United States troops came into
Mexico. We went to Ell Paso and
then we came to Douglas, and about
the time you will be reading this let
ter we will be in Bisbee, as we have
got plenty United States money left"
The letter was dated Aug. 81.

flee Favors Diplomat Rather
Than Business Man.


Berlin, Aug. 30.-U. n. S)-The
status of Germany's next diplomatic
representative in WASHINGTON will
depend entirely upon the rank given
to the successor of James w. Ge-
rard in Berlin, it was learned today
from an attache of the foreign Of
fee.
I'VE shall wait for the United
States to make the first move" said
this official. at is customary for
countries that have been at war to
initiate the resumption of diplomatic
intercourse through charges DAT
faires. thus if America sends a
charge daffaires to Berlin we shall do
likewise in the case of Washington.
The United States, however, has
the privilege of sending n full am
bassador to Germany at once. If this
course Is taken we will follow suit
and send a representative of cor
responding rank"
Some government executives
think we ought to send a business
man. Others favor a trained diplo-
mat. l think the latter will be of
greatest advantage, as a business
man might put financial matters
above all other interests"
