(^Sumter Daily Item)
A letter was received Monday
morning from Houston, T^xas, by
Mrs. R. D. Key nolds from her hus
band, R. 1>. Reynolds', who has -been
missing frotii home for the. past two
weeks. The letter only partially re
lieves the anxiety of Mrs. Reynolds,
as Mr. Reynolds states in his letter
that he has little recollection of how
he got there and that his mind and
nerves are very much affected. He
writes that he wants to come home
and see the mpmhfr* of his family.
In writing Mr. Reynold^ starts off as
if writing to a friend, a method very
different from his ? usual method of
writing, Mrs. Reynolds states.
The letter, as received this morning
by M*-s. Reynolds follows:
My Dearest l''riend;
i I am ashamed to write, I am in
such a bad fix. I am a tit subject for
the asylum. 1 can't work but about
half of the time. My mind and
nerves is off bad. It scorns like it
gets away ahead of thy -mind. It
leaves me at time*) for a while. When
I got to Camden instead of going on
to Rot k Mill I must of got off the
train and went to the .Seaboard.
When I came to myself I was on i
different train and kept on going as
far as my i could carry me. The
man I 'work for says that I talk
foolish. I don't know What is the
matter with itic, nohow. Can you
tell me? ! want to see you all so
bad. but I am afraid they will put
me in the asylum, it' I come back, and
I don't know when that will be. I
Can't d<> you all any good much. 1 am
in such a fix. Tell Kllery to sell out
li? S. I.. (Wealhurly) and divide up
all there is of mine. He will have to
take stock, what is on the book and
all. I am moved to that ? 1 am get
ting poor. I have fallen off e.ight
pounds in two weeks. Well I have
come ii> myself again and will try
and finish my letter. Sec II. C. Clyde
and get that money and How is
business. MoVe out in a cheap house
and move the market to af cheap
jtlaee. 1 can't never run it no more.
I haven't .slept hut four hours in .'JO
hour.-:. I am not dangerous. I see
automobile* running upside down and
1 get on the corner and see my mind
coming away hack behind me to eaten
up. How about my debts. What do
people say ?
i must have a nerve treatment so
1 can get well. I want to go^ away
to a swamp and stay there by myself.
This is the furthest place I ever did
see. I look for them to take me up
Home time wandering around. I don't
know what is the matter. I will see
you some time.

The News/paper.
This in from the Tampa Tribune:
"When you wish to buy something,
where do you look for it?
In your newspaper.
When you need information re
garding some event in the future,
where must you go for it?
To your newspaper.
Where do you obtain your knowl
edge of current events, science, poli
tics and the greater part of your
education ?
From your newspaper,
When your merchants need busi
ness, through what medium do they
ohtain.it?
^ our no wspaperV ?
When the comvjunity and the
churches, schools, civu1 and welfare

to what do they appeal?
t Your newspaper.
I
These are some of the reasons why
tlx* newspaper is your newspaper and
why communities are only as strong
and progressive as their newspapers.
There may have been instances
where a live newspaper was unable to
resuscitate a dead town, but there
is no man who has been a mourner
at a funeral where a live newspaper
j has been the undertaker to a dead
town. If thertv is one quick cuto for
community somnolence it is a wide
awake newspaper.
The first duty of a newspaper is
to transmit to its readers the
thoughts and activities of humanity
at home and abroad, but the value of
that other department of the news
paper?advertising -should be over
looked by none. The public antici
pates Its shopping by scanning the ad
vertisements in the newspapers and
the merchants anticipate their busU
news by newspaper advertising. Ad
vertising is a mutual proposition be
tween all concerned.
He fore the rise of present intensive
newspaper advertising the public was
powerless to plan its buying. Money,
time and unsatisfaction was the price
paid. At the .same time the mer
chants had to be content to wait for
business, and the most of it came
?Saturday afternoon and evening, ?el
morning. Newspapers and the uni
versal employment and appreciation
of newspaper advertising permits the
public to plan its shopping and has
made business for every week-day.
After all is said and done, a city's
newspaper is a public servicq insti
tution?without which there is no
progress and ahead of which the city
will not run. Its development is a
community's concert. The better the
newspaper, the larger its circulation,
the greater the commercial power of
the city in which it is published. In
this day and time it is essentially a
business enterprise, on the one hand,
its growth dependent upon its re
sources and its resources upon com
munity support. And it is an enter
prising and right-thinking community
that seeks first the building of strong
newspapers. The very nature of the
business absorbs financial expendi
tures far in excess of public concep
tion and until they are long estab
! lished in centers of more than 25,000
| population_it_ is a matter of invest
ment without returns. It is the pro
cess of building, building, building!
After confessing to the police that
he had killed his wife, James DeJoy,
27, on Wednesday made a break from
the Chicago police and jumped from a
third floor window, killing himself in
stantly with a broken neck.

TO EXPLORE OM) STRUCTURE
(ieoKraphic i'arty to VUit Ruins ill
Cuicuilco, Mexico.
Washington, April 21. ? The Natiorl
al Geographic Society announced to
day the dispatch of an expedition to
Mexico to uneoveri in the ruins of
Cuicuilco, south of Mexico City, the
oldest structure yet found on the
American continent.
Professor Byron Cummings, leader
of the expedition in preliminary ob
servations disclosed an artificial
mound 412 feet in diameter and 412
feet high and the explorers believe it
probable that a thousand- years before
the first pyramid was built, some
monarch of the Valley of Mexico
furred his subjects to effect a great
monument. for him.
Skeleton remains of the Americans
of 7,000 years ago, specimens of their
emblems and idols and pieces of their
earthen ware found at Cuicuilco by
I)r. Cumminga, he believes, have up
set current theories about the origin
of human life on the American con?
tinent.
"The steps of human development
from the simplest beginnings are as
easily traceable in the Valley of
Mexico as in Mesopotamia or the
Valley of the Nile," Dr. Cummings
said, "Point out as we may sim
ilarities to Mongolian types or to
western Asiatic and Egyptian de
signs nnd conceptions, we must ac
knowledge after all that the early
inhabitants of I America were dis
tinctly American. Their dissimilar
ities to Asiatics, both east and west,
to Africans and to Europeans, are
far more pronounced than their sin^r
ilarities. They form a large group
of the human family, separated from
the parent stock in some remote age,
who as they gradually multiplied and
possessed themselves of this part of
the globe sought to surmount its ob
stacles and to become masters of
their surroundings.".
The mound at Cuicuilco was sealed
and preserved by lava from the crater
Xitli, the Geographic Society has
found. The Aztecs of Mexico were
preceded by the Toltecs and the Tol
tecs were preceded by a primitive
people whose traces were embalmed
in this lava.
Under the present sutface blanket
of lava, however, explorer* have
found a much earlier covering in thin
first lava flow, which encases the
relics of Americans of 8,000 years
ago, it is hoped by the expedition that
remains will be found of a civilization
that existed even before the primitive
predecessors of the Tolteca invaded
the valley. ?
FIKK AT VJKNKER PLANT
Karly Morning Blaze Cause** $20,000 i
Damage at Conway.
Conway, April 22. ? This morning j
at about 3 o'clock fire was discovered
in a wash room of the Veneer Manu- !
facturing Company's plant, just ,
across the Waccamaw river from '
Conway. The fire soon got beyond
control of the night '-crew on duty!
and spread to the veneer room, in
which is located the huge veneer
cutting machine. The veneer room,
the machine shop and grinding room j
were completely destroyed.
By fine work on the part of vol- !
unteer fire fighters the fire was con
fined to these buildings and the rest 1
of the big plant was saved. The local
fire department went, to the scene
with the chemical engine and a
pumper and did good work. j
Mr. W. A. Stilley, of the plant, said
this moaning that the loss would be !
around $20,000, fully protected.
Already plans are being made to
rebuild at once and in all probabil
ity that plant Will be in full operation
apain in a few weeks.
The Conway plant was owned by
the O. L. Williams Veneer Co., the
same owners of the Camden Veneer
plant recently destroyed by fire.

Is a woman's youth
worth the price of an oil range?
Do pnough husbands realize that
the druclgery of a coal or wood
range plays havoc with woman's
health and appearance?
It's bad enough to have to
kindle fires, carry coal, and
empty ashes in cool weather,
but in the summer time, it is
more than any woman should be
asked to put up with.
Ask your husband to come with
you to our store and look at one
of our Florence Oil Ranges. One
of these ranges will keep your
kitchen cooler and cleaner.
Many a woman has kept her
