It evidently baa two eyes, as do most babica wo have seen; two little arms and hands -with four finger# and one thumb at the end of its arms, and it looks like it might have two legs and two feet having five toes each. And like many other babies, so we are told in the press reports, this little fellow has been named for his pa. Sure, 'tis a Wonderful baby and we wish it good health, freedom from colic and that the child may grow up to be u useful citizen and perhaps win some of the fame won by his father. Hut as a matter of fact there are thousands of 'babies ull over this country who have just as good u chance to become famous as does the Lindbergh baby. Isn't it about time for the press of the country to give Col. Lindbergh, his wife ami child a chance to at least live their private lives without having it heralded to the world overytime either of them might sneeze??Yorkville Enquires. A TRAGIC LIFT A Washington real estate man gave ' his seventeen-year-old son an auto-, mobile and the boy, presumably with his father's 'permission, started on a tour. The boy either did not have much cash or he thought lu* would successfully "get. by" 'with some of the things he heard other people were doing or had read accounts of their . success in doing. Anyway near Columbia he, apparently, attempted to get some oil for tin' car from a filling station while the proprietor was aroused by the noise the boy made in trying to open the oil tank and fired a pistol, he said, to frighten the would-be robber. The bullet entered the boy's head, resulting in his death. A horrible tragedy. No matter how much money a man may have he acts unwisely in giving a seventeeir-year-old iboy an automobile. The/e are some boys at that age who might not be swept off their feet by such a gift but not many. In other days a father might give a boy a pony or a ihor?e at that ago nncj not sow the seed of trouble but frequently such gifts led the boy into trouble. It is unfair to the boy to give him an automobile and* turn him loose, as it were, to do as his fancy or whim might dictate. The man who fired the shot is not free from blame, of course. Hut he claims he fired only to frighten the boy. The whole affair is a tragedy profoundly moving.?-Greenwood Index* J ournal. The Howell murder trial has ended with a just verdict?the only possible verdict in the circumstances, insofar as O. E. S. Howell was concerned? and the less said about it hereafter the better. It has been a horrible, terribly distressing affair, one of the saddest and most groundless slaying of an innocent man that ever occurred in Sumter county. Howell had ablest and most determined defense that could have been made by the members of the Sumter bar appointed by the court to represent him. He received more than justice in this respect. more than a criminal of this type had reason to expect. Society has treated him far better than ho has treated society through.-,, out his life.

Rain fell in the South today and so did mercury, ending the hot wave that made Dixie an oven for eight days and took 22 lives over the week end. Showers in Arkansas and East Tennessee, parched by long droughts were heavy, but in most other sections of the .South they were light and of little help to the crops. The wave was broken in Georgia by high winds last night and today. Rain fell in the Macon- area last night and considerable damage was done by wind between that city and the Alabama line. One negro was killed in Macon by lightning and several nouses were unroofed. The forecast called for cooler weather generally in the cotton belt. The thunderstorm broke on Atlanta today to hurry relief. Arkansas "perhaps had suffered more from the heat than any other southern state. Temperatures of 101, 105 and ion were common there last j week and some towns even reported higher. Ten deaths from heat pros- I trations and <>no fatal swimming ac- | cident were reported in .Arkansas! Saturday and Sunday. The entire > state had experienced abnormally hot weather for weeks. Crops had suffered greatly. The temperature at Little Rock today dropped to 8f?, the first time it had been out of the 90's for weeks. The deaths included the Rev. Father Froitzheim, 63, who died in Little Rock Inst night. Nine deaths were Toported in the Memphis area and one at Montgomery, Ala. The temperature reached 113 degrees at Columbus, Miss., yesterday. Memphis was just about as hot with 103, but both cities reported cooler weather today. A negro died at Cairo, Ga.. today from prostration suffered Inst week. It rained hard enough in Virginia to extinguish the forest fire on Brush mountain near Blacksburg. Florida was one of the few states that dido t suffer. A breeze could gem--ally be found most anywhere d"\\r. there and FlorUians made ihe most .?{' it while their fellow-Sp^h burned up. H> a deeision in Federal eourt sr. L.ltle Roeh.

They are daily absorbing the toxins, or poisons, created by accumulated waste matter in their constipated digestive systems. Soont or or later disease will conquer their weakened bodies.
