The Price of Fame.
You, we have wen pictures of the
Lindbergh baby and a very wonderful
baby it ??, )u?t an all fbabie*
wonderful. 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*

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.

than ho has treated society through.-,,

"BILL'S IN TROUBLE"
(The following po?n eupeered in
Worrvor's Mogazino, of New York
City, under date of October 185*7, and
was furniahed to The Chronicle by a
friend as being1 appropriate to the
preaent political cumpaigu:)
I've got a letter, parson, from my
aon away out Weat,
An' my ol' heert is heavy aa an anvil
tij my breast
To think the boy whose futur' I had,
once ao proudly planned
.Should wander from the path o' right
an' come to aich an end!
I told him when he left u? only thraa
short years Ago
HeM find himself a-plowin* in a
mighty crooked row;
He'd mis# hi# father's counsel#, an'
his mother's prayers, too;
Hut he said the farm was hateful, an'
he guessed he'd have to go.
1 know thar's big temptations for a
youngster in the West,
Hut I believed our Hilly had the couruge
to resist.
An' when he left 1 warned him o' the
ever-waiting snares
That lie like hidden sanpints in life's
pathway everywhere#.
Hut Hill lie promised faithful to be
keerful, an' allowed
He'd build u reputation that'd make
us mighty proud;
Hut it seems how my counsel sort o'
faded from his mind,
An' now the hoy's in trouble o* the
very wustest kind!
His letters oame so seldom that I
somehow sort o* knowed
That Hilly was a-trampin' on a
mighty rocky road,
Hut never once imagined he would
bow my head in shame,
An' jn the dust 'd waller his ol' daddy's
honored name.
He writes from out in Denver, an'
the story's mighty short?
I just can't tell his mother; it'll crush
her poor ol' heart!
An' so I reckon, parson, you might
break the news to her?.
Hill's in the legislator' but he doesn't
say what fur.
Long Heat Wave
Broken At Last
Atlanta, July 11. ? 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. Ark., the judge holds
that lands transferred from one state
to another by a shift .n the bed of the
Mississippi river, transferred the title
of Mien lands to the state in which
? the lands are located after the river
shifts.
i Unintentional Suicide
Many people are slowly poisoning
themselves just as surely as if they
drank iodine every morning for
breakfast. 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.
If you have dizzy spoils, headaches,
r coated tongue, bad breath, insomnia
r no appetite, biljous attacks or pains
, the back and limbs, you are prob,
nh.y suffering f^om self poisoning
caused by constipation. The surest
and plensantest relief for this condis
t:on is Herbine, the vegetable cathar'
