, "When asked concerning the out^
look for Judge Jones' success in
the race for Governor after the
meeting of the State Democratic
Executive Committee Tuesday,
Chairman John Gary Evans said:
"Everything looks good. I think
everything will he all right."
Recently a cyclone swept over
W a part of Oklahoma and in the
frolicsome manner characteristic
of Western zephyrs, blew the)

unwieldy ornament. Proximity of
a head to a jug oftimes plays
fantistie tricks, hut the incident
related by the World is a strain
upon the credulity of even those
are want to believe everything
they see in^print.
All reports indicate a landslide
for Judge Jones in the
Piedmont section. Should the
primary election be held now,
we have it from authentic sources
that Greenville county, the second
largest voting county in the State,
would go for Jones by 1,500 to
2,(XX) majority, and in Spartanburg,
which polls the heaviest
wote of any county, the outlook
is even more encouraging. At

majority at from fifteen to twenty

In the Republican National
convention which meets at Chir~

the line up of delegates will be
approximately as follows, conceding
Taft the bulk of delegates

465; Roosevelt, 450; La Folletie,
.37; Cummings, 10; uninstructed,
116. Total delegation, 1078. Necessary
to choice, 540. There will
be lively times in the convention |

REJECTED SUITOR DRINKS ACID.
Sumter Man's Attempt at Suicide
Probably Successful.
Sumter. June 7:?Because he has
been rejected by a young lady, Julian
Harper, a white man 28 years of age,
this afternoon drank the contents of
an ounce bottle of carbolic acid on
the street in front of the postoffice
in an attempt to end his life. Harper
was almost immediately taken
to the hospital, where he received
treatment, but where it was reported
tonight at 8:30 that there was
no possibility of his recovering.
Harper, it is said, has been carrying
the bottle of carbolic acid with
him for some time and made threats
to kill himself in case he was rejected
by the young lady. He came to
Sumter the first part of this year
and has been living here with his
brother since that time.
It will be rembered that J W Harper,
a brother, shot and killed a
negro Hackman at the Union Depot
on Christmas evening two years ago,
and afterwards left for Cuba, where j
he stayed for almost a year before
he returned and gave himself up to
the sheriff.

noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness ana
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep

A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
