Night Coughing
Stopped Quickly By
SimpleTreatment
~ Thousands who nra troubled with
p<r?i?tent coughing at night. which
by robbing ihtm of valuable sleep
weakena their systems anil lays
them open to dangerous infection*,
can quickly act to prevent tht? dan
ger through a very simple treat
ment People who havo hardly been
able to reat at all on account of
toughing spell* have found th*y can
?leep the whole night through un
disturbed often the flrst,,tlme they,
try it.
The treatment If >baaed on a re
markablo prescription known a a Dr.
King's New Discovery for Coughs.
You ?imply take a teaspoonful at
night before retiring, and hold It in
four throat for IS or 20 seconds be
ore swallowing It, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has a double action. It not only,
soothes and heals soreness and Irri
tation. but it quickly loosens ahd
nemoveu the phlekm and congristlon
which are the direct Vo?j? of the
coughing. The result Is you usually
sleep soundly the very first night,
and the entire cough condition goes
in a very short time.
The prescription is highly recom
mended for coughs, chest colds,
hoaraeneas, and bronchitis, and ia
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup?no harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose !? only

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*

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,

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.
