Ask for Sumter's Oldest Man Dead Marcus Larkin, colored, who w?$ said to have been the oldest man in Sumter county, died Wednesday at his honif on the Stateburg road, just beyond Shot Pouch branch. In the death certificate his age is stated to have been "about 100 years." This is merely an estimate, as the. exact age is not known. Larkin' himself behoved that his age exceeded the century mark, by several years. One of his neighbors says that Larkin told him a year' or more atfo that as "near as he could come at it" he was 113 or 115 years old. Larkin had attained great age, for he has beer, regarded as a very old man for at least twenty-five years, and there seems to be no doubt that he passed his one hundredth birthday some years ago. His surviving child ren are verging on old age and he had a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ? Sumter* 11 e m.

WILL MEET TOMORROW Colored Teachers Association To As semble at Jackson Graded School The colored teachers association of Kershaw county will hold a me* ting Saturday Feb. 11th at Jackson grad ed school building at 10 o'clock. Every teacher is urgently request ed to attend this meeting as we hope to perfect plans for our field day programs. We are planning, to have a field day program at Ki.v points in the county this springv Every school is expected to take tr part in t.he programs, so each teacher is responsible for a good showing from his or her school. The negro schools of Kershaw county have improved greatly since 1919, the year the writer was put on the work as Jeanes industrial supervisor for at that time the most of our schools were taught in poorly built churches and halls, with a few log cabins in places to serve as school houses. It's true we still have a few of the old uncom fortable buildings, but it fills our hearts with pride to be able to say that these are fast being done away with and in their stead we have mod ern school houses. With the kind and generous co-operation of our county superintendent of education, trustees and state agent of negro schools, we have been able to erect eight mod ern Rasenwald buildings. The time will come and we hope in the near future when ail the shabby one teacher schools will cease to oper ate, but instead will consolidate into two, three, four and five teacher schools. Then and not until then will we measure up to the requirement. I am soliciting the co-operation of county superintendent of education, trustees, patrons and teachers in an effort to bring our schools to a high er level. Yours for the cause of education, Elise F.

"I got down in bad health uud lost in weight until I oaly weighed 120 pounds. I had bad pains in my sides and back and my lege hurt tne until I couldn't walk. I stayed in bed half the time. I tried all kinds of medicine, but it did me no good. Finally I tried CARDIII The Woman's Tonic "It seems like it did me good from the very first. After I had taken half a bottle 1 no ticed an improvement. I con tinued its use and I got bet ter and better. The pains ii> my legs and sides disap peared and I began to gain in weight until n6\r I weigh 155 pounds and feel better than I ever did in my life. I am perfectly Veil and strong. I have given it to my girls, too." Cardui has relieved many kinds of pains and distress ing symptoms caused by fe male trouble. It should help you, too, in the same way. ? Why not give it a fair trial? P ICil POSED AS WOMAN 'Dr. Blair Armstrong" Is Sentenced Bv Court At Greenwood Greenwood, Feb. 7.?-"Dr. Blair Armstrong" didn't look the part, and he admitted it, when he pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday afternoon to posing through letters as a needy widow and attempting thereby to .extort money from the unsuspecting in faraway Washington and Oregon. Wearing a bandage "about two inches wide around his head and with his huge form covered by an army over coat with coat collar shoving up the hair over the top of his head he appeared anything else than a per son who had played the role of a bereft one in needs when he told Judge Watkins that he had no de fense, wanted to offer no excuse for his silly acts and made an earnest plea that he be sent up and that right immediately. ? He acknowledged that his real name is not Armstrong and that he is not a doctor, but said he did not want the world to know his identity intimating that he was too ashamed of himself to let his people find out his predicament. The nearest he came to giving a hint of himself was his statement that his home was near Bowling Green, Ky., but he had trav-1 eled far and wide from his native heath, working sometimes as a news paper man and at others as a sales man, and in both instances meeting many financial reverses. He was, apparently, judging him by his gen eral appearance a battle-scarred vet eran in the uncertain war of for tune. "Since I was arrested for this of fense," the "widowed doctor" told Judge Watkins, "I have touched el bows with murderers, pickpockets and highwayipen and I have felt myself smaller than any of them. I was up against it financially and it occurred to me that I could get some money by using the name of a woman who was in dire need. The idea was suggested to me by an experience I had when I was dointf war work in Charleston in PJ1X. I wrote a letter for a woman then appealing for financial aid and she got it. I want you to under stand, though, judge, that I did not pet a single cent of it." The defendant then said that he asked for no mercy, declaring that he wanted to b*1 sent up so that he could get proper medical attention for the grip, and Judge Watkins gave him a year ?r:d a day in the Atlanta penitentiary. "Dr. Armstrong" pulled a soiled handkerchief from his overcoat pock et and made a motion as to wipe his eyes, but he blew his nose in stead and bowed his thanks making a final request as he left the court room in the custody of a bailiff that he be sent on to Atlanta with out del a v.
