17 Gents a Day
Buys an Oliver
This amazing offer—the New Model Oliver
-Typewriter No. 5 at 17 cents a day—is open to
everyoody. everywhere.
It’s our new and immensely popular plan of
selling Oliver Typewriters on little easy pay
ments. The abandonment of longhand In
favor of clean, legible, beautifal typewrit
ing is the next great step in human progress.
Already—in all lines of business and all
professions—the use of pen and Ink is largely
restricted to the writing of signatures.
Business Colleges and High Schools, watch-
fu 'f the trend of public sentiment, are
training a vast army
of young people In
the use of Oliver
Typewriters.
The prompt and
generous response of
the Oliver Typewrler
Company to the
world-wide demand
for universal type
writing, gives tre
mendous impetus to
the movement.
The Oliver, with the largest sale of ' nv
Typewriter in existence, was the loiricu. ti.i-
chine io take the initiative in bringing about
the universol use of typewriters, It always
leads!
Save Your Pennies and Own
OLIVER

The Standard Visible Typewriter
r This 17-cents-a-day selling plan makes the
Oliver as easy to own as to rent. It places
the machine in easy reach of every home—
every individual. A man’s “cigar money
a woman’s “pin money’’—will buy it.
Clerks on small salaries can now afford to
own Olivers. By utilizing spare moments for
practice they may fit themselves for more
important positions.
School boys and school girls can bay Oli
vers by saving their pennies.
Yon can buy an Oliver on this plan at the
regular catalogae price—$100. A small first
payment brings the machine. Then you save
17 cents a day and pay monthly. _
And the possession of an Oliver Typewriter
enables you to earn money to finish paying
for the machine.

CHEROKEE’S WILD MAN.
He Has Lived as a Hermet for Over
Forty Years.
Cherokee county claims the only
real, genuine, live wild man in South
Carolina. "Wild John Svarnes,” as
he is known in the section where he
roams, has been wild and living the
life of a hermit and recluse for forty
years. His castle is an old dry goods
box which he fitted up many years
ago for a home. As it grew old and
parts of it fell away, he made rude
repairs and what was only a hove] at
best, is now a poor place indeed for
a human being to call home through
the cold of winter and the heat of
summer.
There are various causes assigned
for the desire of “Wild John” to shun
the companionship of his kind and to
refuse persistently to go near society
or civilization. Out of the number
one of two reasons probably accounts
for the hermit’s state. One tale runs
tha'. he was disappointed in a love
affair many, many years ago and ever
since that time has lived in his box,
never seeing a human face when he
can positively avoid it. Another says
that he fled to the woods to escape
service in the army, then engaged in
repelling invasion of the enemy, and
that worry and fear drove all trace
of reason from his hind and left him
with no more sense than to continue
for forty years to live the life he now
follows and apparently thrives on.
Overtures were made to him years
ago and many times since by his anx
ious relatives to give up this wild
niiig, “Wild John” takes some of the
skins or some of the game he has
bagged and leaves it near a small
store and ’.hese people come out and
gel It, replacing It with provisions.
He In turn gets the flour, etc., and
carries ll back to his hu*.. but the
trips are made under cover of dark
ness and nobody knows when or bow
he comes or goes.
Thus the wild man of Cherokee
lives and will no doubt eontinue to
live, molesting no one and Jjeartily
hoping that no one will Interest them
selves in his affairs. Few have ever
succeeded In getting close enough to
get a photograph of him wilhout his
becoming alarmed and hastening to
spoil ,ho picture. Tbe wild man does
not care for fame and la not anxious
for his likeness to appear before the
public.
Only (wo or three pictures have
ever been secured, one showing him
standing, possibly thinking of the
peace and solitude all around him.
and one sfeting by his cabin in
thoughtful meditation. Close inspect
ion of the accompanying picture will
show that, his dress is largely of
skins and his feet are covered with
rawhide.
The case of '.ho man is and always
has been a riddle and none are they
who can solve it. Endowed with a
powerful physique that has withstood
many a storm that would have worst
ed an ordinary mortal, and attending
himself to any ills that beset him. he
may continue to inhabit his box-like
home for many years to come.
Thus far he has tf.ood the ravages

exigence and come back to his home,
but all to no avail. If this wild crea
ture has been under a roof other than
the poor imitation of a shelter that
but partially shields him from the
weather, it is not known in the sec
tion which is usually conceded to
“Wild John” as his territory.
In appearance, the wild man is tall
and straight as an arrow. His long
hair which falls to his shoulders and
his shaggy beard give at first the im
pression that he is a patriarch, but
this is soon dispelled by the wild look
in his eyes which can be plainly seen
on closer observation. This hunted
look is always present and when
some over-curious person endowed
with more than the average bump of
investigation gets near his habita
tion, it is so pronounced that he be
comes wild-eyed and hastens to flee
to the friendly cover of his ever
present forests.
Must Be a Good Hunter.
While no one has ever seen the
wild man on the hunt for game, he
must be a skillful hunter for he buys
very little food and yet lives, so the
natural supposition is that the birds
of the air and the beasts of the field,
provide him with sufficient nourish
ment to sustain life. The wild man,
never possessing any great love for
society, has had this distaste foster
ed during his protracted stay in the
deep recesses of this almost impene
trable forest, and keeps a constant
vigil for any wanderer or sight-seer
who might blunder in upon him or
seek him out.
Any intimation that a human be
ing is near his hut is sufficient cause
for instant flight. He is greatly wor
ried by many who wish to see him
and his singular home, and has been
known to resort to extreme meas
ures to rid himself of the annoy
ance.
On one occasion a party of sight
seers who were in that neighborhood
and wished to see everything to be
seen, drove out to the haunts of
“Wild John” in the hope of catching
a glimpse of him. Events proved that
a glimpse was all they were destined
to get. The party drove up close to
the aperture in the box which serves
its occupant as a door, and called
loudly for “Wild John” to come out
and be sociable.
Is Very Unsociable.
As was his wont “Wild John" Ig
nored the summons until It grew In
to an uproar when he decided that
he could stand it no longer so resojv-
ed to end it then and there. Picking
up his gun in one hand and his axe
in the other he pushed back tbe piece
of lumber and emerged to quiet the
disturbance. He succeeded probably
beyond his fondest expectations. His
appearance, fortified by the gun and
axe, produced a stampede.
The frightened occupants of the
vehicle applied the whip to the
steeds, who were doubtless affected
themselves by the weird spectacle,
and would brook no diminishing of
speed until the friendly houses of
Blacksburg appeared in sight. This
affairs put a damper on sight-seeing
expeditions being organized to make
trips to the abode of the wild man.
When the pangs of hunger cannot
ha satisfied by the meat and fish
brought in by his own craft and cun-
and he may continue to be the mar
vel of that part of the State and to
furnish a good tale for the old heads
to tell all who are recent arrivals in
ihe neighborhood.

CURES
'.MALARIA
Malaria is due to impurities and poisooa in the blood. Twtwad of
rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red coipuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of theae
red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, sallow' faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first
symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic dlm*g», and aa
the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs we have more serious
and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts
of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and "no account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in some cases
•ores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is prostrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
may leave his health permanently
impaired. To cure Malaria both a
blood purifier and tonic are necessary.
In order to remove the cause and at
the same time build up the system
from its weakened and run-down
condition. S. S. S. is the medicine
best fitted for this work. It is the
most perfect of all blood purifiers, and
the purely vegetable ingredients of

to use S. S. S. The result was that after
