The Dispatch is giving considerable
space this week to two articles on
Emily Geiger, the woman who took a
* * ?'j - 4-v.n pot?rt1nfirin
Qsno^ nut? uiuiug uw jLi??\?uvtvu)
8nd who is buried in the lower section
of this county. There is an effort being
made by the ladies of Columbia to
erect a monument to her memory,
and to this end, they are asking the
co-operation cf the people everywhere.
The communication by Mrs. J. B.
Nunnamaker is a correct account of
Emily Geiger's famous ride, and doubtless
will be read by hundreds of our
readers with interest.

"The Pastime."
The Pastime Columbia's newest j
'Theatre, is growing in popularity every i
day. The managers, Messrs. Rawl I
Bros., are securing the best attractions
obtainable, the moving pictures being
exception ably good. The other features
are up to the usual high standard
of excellence and the'house is
crowded to its capacity at each per-,
formance.

William G. Childs
Has Passed Away.
Mr. William G. Childs, president of j
the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens j
railroad, and president of the Bank of |
Columbia, died suddenly at his home j
in Columbia on Thursday morning.
Mr. Childs was in his usual health on
Wednesday and was taken sick suddenly
at 5 o'clock Thursday morning
and continued to grow worse until the
end came.
Mr. Childs was about sixty-one year,
of age. He was known far and wide
for his generosity to the needy, and his
death has caused supreme sorrow.
Wait Paint
There are painters and waiters.
Which am I going to do? Paint or wait''
Whiqh is better?
How much am I worth with my pro- '
perty waiting? How much if I paint? 1
Will my house be worth more or les# !
if I paint? 1
Say it costs $2.25 a gallon Devoe?I 1
wouldn't paint any other?and $3 or $4 1
more for putting it on. That's $50 or 1
$60 a 10-gallon job. 1
The money is gone. Is it in the ' house?
Is it all in the hoose? I
Suppose I were selling; whrft should
I get for that house fresh-painted and :
what should I get for it needing paint? .
I wonder why men paint before sell- 4

Creditors Met Thursday;
Meet Again Saturday.
Thos. P, Meetze, C. E; Leapha.t and
W. H. Tcwnsend were elected trusi
tees of the estate of W. P. Roof, bankrupt,
at a meeting of th 3 creditors
held in the court house on last Thursday.
W. B. Taylor, Chalmers E.
Wessinger and R. L. Keisler, were
chosen as a committee of three to
represent the creditors and to confer
with the trustees in the matter of disposing
of the contingent liability of
Mr. Roof amounting to nearly $600,000,
which is made up of endorsements on
mill papers. The trustees hope to be
able to reach an agreement with representatives
of the holders of this
paper at a meeting to be held in Columbia
tomorrow.
The trustees met on Friday and employed
the law firm of Messrs. Timmerman,
Thurmond & Callison to
represent them in all matters pertain
ing to the settlement of the estate.
The trustees have also rented the large
farm of W. P. Roof to Mr. Sam P.
Roof, together with all stock, implements,
etc.
The creditors will meet again on
next Saturday, the llth at which time
the trustees and the committee will
make a *!report. The creditors are
anxiously awaiting this meeting; because
it is expected that by this time
some definite statement as to what
per cent, the estate wiil pay will be
f >rthcoming.
The meeting on Thursday brought
together the largest crowd of people
that has been seen here in a number
of years. The next meeting on Saturday
will likely be as largely attended.

ffllRTY YEARS OF
BIB STOPPED
Remarkable Experience of Mr.
Barry With New Treatment
Will Surely Interest
All Sufferers
"To every sufferer from backaches
and kidney trouble," says Mr. Jno. W.
Barry, 336 Brandriff St., Fort Wayne,
[ndiana, "I want to tell that I was a
victim of backaches for thirty-five
$ ears and that like many of my fellow-sufferers,
I tried hundreds ~jk. rem* 1
edies without relief. I was so bad at
times I could not remove my clothing.
Someone recommended Boot Juice to
me, just as I am recommending it to
you and after taking it as directed I
found a speedy cure. I certainly do
not hesitate to commend this great
medicine to any victim of these complaints
for I know what it means to
Pfet relief."
The new Root Juice treatment promotes
a fine appeti.e, makes digestion
perfect so that pure nourishment enters
the blood; it strengthens the kidneys
and not only drives out rheumatic
poison, but stops its accumulation.
The results are surprisingly
quick. One week's treatment will
make a different person of you. Mauy
have said they would not take five
hundred dollars for what the juice
treatment has done for them.
The genuine Root Juice can be. supplied
by any good druggist but the
public is warned against tricky dealers
who offer worthless or inferior imitations
upon which they make more profit.
Goes to Morristown
The Rev. J. G. Graichen, who for

Suggests Plan For
'rite kooi creditors.
To the Editor of The Dispatch.
Since the meeting of the W. P. Roof
creditors on the 2nd inst., I have been
thinking of some way in which all
parties could get their dues. If Mr.
Roof's interestsjn the cotton mills are
not wholly coyered by registered
claims could not the holders of these
claims allow the cotton creditors, or
any others, to buy stock in these
mills? In this way the balance of his I
stock or claims could be liquidated
while his creditors would be getting
pay for their cotton or other dues.
These cotton claims are debts of
honor and should be protected if there
is any way to bring it about. I believe
the people whose cotton he got would
be willing to go into this arrangement.
I give this plan for consideration
and a9 the farmer's plan.
