Struck by Lightning. .Some folks say lightning will not strike a building that is covered with metal but lhere are times when such buildings are victims of tba't subtle energy or force. The county jail was struck Thursday afternoon during the terriffic storm, and this building is covered with metal shingles. It did not however strike the roof but the bolt struck just be neath the eave of the building. In stead of concentrating upon one part of the building the lightning seemed to spread through it. There was one prisoner in jail but he was uninjured. The family of the jail er were on the first floor and were considerably shocked but not seri ously injured. When the building was first struck smoke came from the chimneys and windows, having the appearance of being on fire. Mrs. Byrd Entertained. Thursday afternoon Mrs. James S.

Mrs. Johnson's home was a very central place for the party, being near town. The guests were greeted at the door by Mrs. Charlie Griffin. The decorations were pink, the lights being softened by the decora tions. Several talented young la dies played on the piano during the evening. Rook was suggested, and tables and decks of rook cards were found all ready prepared. Lively and exciting games entertained the com pany, as few things besides rook can do. It was great fun whether the players were "set" or not. The term peculiar to rook, that I just used, is a secret fear to all rook players when they bid very high, for fear they will not make their bid. After rook had been enjoyed the guests were served with refreshing punch, by Miss Norma Shannon house and the Misses Holston. Cards for progressive conversa tion had been already pinned on the guests, as souvenirs, and soon the dates were made and the bell was tapped for the first conversation. These lasted five minutes and then there were further dates to be filled. This gave everybody a chance to meet and talk to everybody else. During the fourteenth on?-* the guests were served with delightful pink cream and cake, thus carrying out the color scheme, Miss Brook Jones and Miss Mattie Sue Holston serving. The clock struck twelve, I think, and soon after the last of the guests had gone. Everybody enjoyed the evening, and everybody hated to say good bye. Guest. Many Small Fire insurance Com panies Have Failed. Harrisburg, Pa., June 30.-Elev en mutual insurance companies, all of which were connected with the Aetna Fire ami Marine Insurance company, of Dover, Del , are de funct and unable to pay a dollar of the 81*2,000,000 in risks which are chargeable against them, according to a report made public to-day by Samuel W. .McCullough, deputy state insurance commissioner, as re ceived for these concerns. The companies in question are Fair mount, Imperial, Metropolitan, Co lumbia, Georce Washington, Loyal, Peoples, Mercantile, Colonial, In tegrity and Schulkill Mutual Insu rance companies. Ninety per cent of the policies were written in other states than Pennsylvania, and there is no way for policy holders to re alize a cent, the receiver says. Traveling Salesman Afraid to Leave Home. OFTEN HAD TO REFUSE BETTER PAYING POSI TIONS. Helped by Tanlac. "It would be a hard matter to estimate the good Tau lac has done me," said W. Day Barrett, 2ol3 Burroughs Street, one of the best known raen in Savannah. Mr. Bar rett has been a city salesman in the grocery line for sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over Tanlac is no surprise to the many friends who knew ot his previous condition of health and now realize what it has done for him. 'Tve been a little better than a nervous wreck for three years," he continued, and have heen treated by no less than fifteen doctors right bere in Savannah. I was forced to tum down better paying jobs, trav eling, because I was afraid to get away from home in this condition, and at times I was actually afraid to go out on the street I was so weak and shakey. 4T suffered with headaches and neuralgia and ray stomach was in bad condition all the time and it seemed like I couldn't get anything that would-set rae in order or enable me to digest ray fcod. I couldn't eat anything that wouldn't sour on my stomach and give me pain or make me miserable. I was thin and had very little strength. In fact, the least little exertion would ex haust me and I was hardly equal to anything. I would have pains in my back and joints continually, and would be so nervous and exhausted at night I couldn't sleep at all. I would often have to to take stimu lants to enable me keep on going. "One of the doctors who treated rae suggjsted that I try Tanlac and see what it would do in ray case, and besides that, a close personal friend begged me to take it. So I started in on it about a month ago, and I couldn't tell you in a week how glad I am that I got it, for it's the very thing. I haven't taken but two bottles yet, but I've actually gained several pounds in weight and it's simply picking me up aud get ting rae over every one of my troubles just as fast as it can. As I said before, there is no estimating the good it has done me. It is a great medicine beyond all doubt and I am going to keep on taking it until there is no chance of these troubles coming back on rae." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold exclusively by Penn & Hol stein, Edgefield; Johnston Drug Co., Johnston; G. W. Wise, Tren ton. Price: ?1.00 per bottle straight. -Adv.
