Sumter, Feb S ? His many friends
as well as members of his family
were shocked this morning when they
knew that Frank S. Katllctd a young
man employed as clerk in the Sumter
postotllce liad ended his life by shoot
ing himself In the heart with a revolver.
The act was committed shortly after
11 o'clock this morning in tho rest,
room of the postotllce. Thtyflq working
down stairs heard the noise of tho
pistol but thought It came from an au
tomobile on the street until tho body
was found lying on the floor where
it had fallen. Before a doctor could
be summoned the man was dead. No
reason has been given for the rash
net niiil thi? in inv tteoolc who know
('. <\ I.owery.

on u i?llo of clendera at the uiob?

dead yesterday morning. They
almost asphyrlated by ?as arlxhiu

When found both wore micotiwlou
They were curried to the City lumbal
for treatment. l>r. J. N. Ne?bUt, the
attending physician, re|>orted jtsttr

It supposed that the negroes wereitw
boos, as they are not known here. Both
are about 25 years of age. The pile
of cinders upon which* they slept Wed
nesday night came from the Globe mm
furnace. It Is thought that the piu,
contained some live coals. Finding
a warm place, the two negroes laid

There never was a time more important than the

With the dreaded boll weevil's approach what could be
more important than to know how to combat with the

Early cultivation, modern farm implements, good fer
