Suicide in Sumter.
'
Sumter, Aug. 5.?News was receivA
> ed in Sumter this morning that Mr.
A ' J. Merrick Reid, a magistrate of St.
Charles, Lee county, had committed
anieide at his home about 3:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
; " Deceased was about 71 years of
px. age. He was a man of marked intellectuality
and for many years a
well known writer under the nom de
plume of "Guv."
From the information obtained by
telephone is seems that Mr. Reid was
sitting in the front yard of his home
?> .. when he shot himself, using a 32calibre
revolver, the ball entering the
left temple and penetrating hiss head,
lodging just under the scalp on the
upper right side of his head. He was
dead when he was reached after the
shot was heard.
Mr. Reid was a gentleman of genial,
friendly and pleasing manners, big
hearted and popular with all who
knew him. He was a public spirited
citizen, and the news of his death will
De received with much regret by his
hundreds of friends in Sumter and
Lee counties. He had been in very
poor health for some time and de
spondencv is supposed to have been
the cause of the rash act which ended
his life.
Presiding Elder C. B. Smith will preach
at the Methodist church in this city next
Sunday morning, and at the mill chapel
Sunday night. The fourth quarterly conference

won Monday's game by a score of
four to three. On Tuesday afternoon
only six innings were played, as the

six o'clock train for home. The

the sixth inning.
Letter to J. A. Byrd, Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir: It is a great thing for
a merchant to have the exclusive sale
(in his region, of course) of anything
wanted by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is:
be fair and make more.*
Devoe is the paint which takes
least gallons and costs least money
a house, a job, a year, a lifetime?no
matter how you reckon your costs,
except by the gallon?Devoe is the
best care-taker land costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part
of the cost of paint is putting it on.
Less gallons, less cost. Don't forget
that another principal part of economy
is long wear; less gallons, less
cost and long wear.
It is aigreat thing to have the -exclusive
sale of popular goods, of goods
that makes friends, of goods that en?*

perhaps only ten per cent, better than
one or two others; but ten is a plenty?it's
200 or 300 better than many.
There's many a merchant who
hasn't found-out his goods. It doesn't
take a man long to find-out that Devoe
is the least-money paint and why,
no matter which side he is on.
Yours truly

To Visit Piano Factories.
About August 20 th I expect to visit
the Briggs piano factory in Boston,

knows his business select a piano for
you in this way. I would like to hear
from any one who thinks well of this
proposition.
These pianos are among the oldest
and best, sold to you direct from
factory, at prices which will appeal
to you. If yon contemplate buying
any time soon, write me now.

was introduced, and of course he
made a fine speech. We wish we had
space for his entire speech.
After this the old veterans spent
some time relating war anecdotes,
which were much enjoyed.
Resolutions of thanks were passed
to Bethesda church for the use of the
building and grounds and the many
kindnesses shown the veterans.

A TENDERFOOTS REVENGE.
' i
Bully of New Mexico Town Had the
Tables Turned on Him.
The average tenderfoot is not a
coward. He simply lacks ranch experience.
An illustration of this fact
occurred down in Mexico several
years ago. One day a pale looking,
thin and sickly young man alighted
from the train and put up at the
adobe hotel at Bernal Springs. The
tenderfoot walked up to the bar and
called for a bottle of soda pop.
"Tain't allowed to drink that sort o*
stuff out here," said a toughy. "What
you want is a stiff drink o' red liquor.
n 1
.Mr. oarKeeyer, set uui iuc yiovu iui
this young fellow." "You have the
best of me," replied the tenderfoot,
"and I'll have to drink the stuff, but
I hope the time may come when I
can make you drink my choice of liquid."
The tenderfoot raised the glass and
gulped down the whiskey. Sandy had
his way about it, and he made no effort
to comprehend the vague remark
of the stranger. The tenderfoot left
for a ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the incident in the saloon,
and he was forgotten until one afternoon
more than a year afterward a
strong, healthy looking young man
rode up to the hotel on a broncho,
dropped the bridle reins upon the
ground and dismounted. He had the
appearance of a typical young man of
the range. His face was bronzed and
his eyes clear and penetrating. "I
owe a fellow a debt which I believe I
will pay right now," the stranger
said.
No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked off in the direction of
Snndv. who had his eun in his rizht
hand and was firing it into the air
every few steps. The stranger approached
Sandy, pulled his gun and
unceremoniously dragged the bully
up to the saloon and led him in that
fashion up to the bar. "Get me a pan
of water and set it upon the floor,"
he said to the barkeeper.
The order was complied with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering
what was going to happen to him.
"Now get down on the floor and
drink water out of that pan like a
dog," the former tenderfoot ordered.
Sandy at first refused, but when the
stranger began twirling his gun
around on his forefinger and said the
order must be obeyed the cowed fellow
unlimbered and lay down upon
the floor and began drinking water 1
out of the pan.?Denver Field. (
A ITninne Dean-Year Dance. '
An attractive leap-year dance is
described in Woman's Home Companion
for August. Each girl sends
to the gentleman she has chosen to
be her escort, an invitation to the
dance, stating at what time he should
call for her.
The girls agree among themselves
to exchange places, and each girl is
masked and dressed to represent
some distinguished character. When
the guests have all arrived at the!
hall, each man is given a slip of par)
per, and a pencil, to guess who each!
girl is. A prize may be given to the
one guessing the most correctly.
Before unmasking, each man has
the first dance with the girl with
whom he came. Afterwards comes >
the unmasking, and the surprise?if.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only
one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafhess Is caused by
an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining ;
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is I
Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or lm-!
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely clos-;
ed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the in-1
flammatlon can be taken out and this tube |
restored to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafhess (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.
