Court of Common Pleas. 1 The court of Common Pleas convened here Monday, with Judge I W Bowman presiding. There were a number of visiting attorneys present, viz: L D Jennings, Sumter; r' H Arrowsmith, Lake City; F L Wilcox, J D Gilland, Florence; L E Wood, Sumter; N N Newell, John aonville, and J H Clifton, Sumter. The docket was a short one, there being only two jury cases, those of J D Gilland, Esq, against Mr T W Boyle, as agent of the Mallard Lumpany, in a suit to recover a balance of fee amounting to $750.00 for the transaction of a $60,000 deal in timber lnnds m the vear 1909. It seems that this transaction was to net the complainant about $1,500.00, of which the defendant paid $700.00. As to the balance the dispute arose and Mr Gilland brought suit. The jury, after hearing the evidence in the case, and very able arguments by LeRoy Lee, for the defendant, and F L Willcox, for the plaintiff, brought in a verdict for the defendant, Mr T W Boyle. In the case of J M Sturgeon against David Coker.suit for $235.00, a mistrial was declared. Several other cases of minor im\ portance were presented to the court' and ruled upon without the consideration of a jury. ' I Court adjourned sine die at 9 o'clock p. m. Tuesday. | SEEK BAIL FOR TRIPPETT. Attorneys to Appear Before Judge Bowman at Klngstree. Sumter, March 8:?The only new phase of the Trippett-Jones shooting affair today was the departure by automobile of LD Jennings, Esq, J H Clifton, Esq, B C Trippett, the prisoner, and Deputy Sheriff Epperson this afternoon for Kings tree, where an effort will be made to have SolicitorStoll consent to a hearing for bail without waiting the three days, which he has a right to demand. Judge Bowman is now holding court at Kingstree, and if Solicitor Stoll consents to the hearing, it will be held in chambers there. J H Clifton was retained as counsel for the accused man at once yesterday on his arrival from Washington. Trippett was arrested on a warrant from the Coroner immediately after the close of the inquest Saturday night and has been held from that time at the residence of Mr J C Huger, where he is guarded by the deputy Sheriff. The services over the remains of W S Jones, Jr, were held at the residence of his parents yesterday afternoon and the body was interred at the Sumter cemetery. x Statement of the Condition of the Farmers' & Merchants' Bank LOCATED AT JOHNSONVILLE, S.

Colds are caught In many i ways: Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts; crowded rooms: damD houses: stuffy school rooms; offices illy heated. A dose of Peruna at the right time, at the first symptom of cold, before the bones begin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, just a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin is generally sufficient. But after the cold is once established with the above symptoms prominent, a bottle of Peruna, or maybe two, will be necessary. "For several years I have been troubled with colds at each change of season. I took Peruna and have not been troubled with the slightest cold this entire season." Mr. Harry Fisher, 1928 Mosher St., Baltimore, Md. "I give the children Peruna If they have a cold, and It always relieves K: them." Mrs. I. D. Hayes, 1937 Druid Hill Ave., Baltimore, Md. "When I feel a cold coming on I take a little Peruna, and it does me good." Mr. Charles S. Many, 12 Water St.. Osslning, N. Y. "No family should ever be without Peruna. for It is an unfailing cure for colds." Mrs. M- F. Jones, Burning Springs, Ky. ME HI Fi By Peter Radford T^otur^r National Farmers' Union The farmer gets more out of the .fair than anyone else. The fair to a city man is an entertainment; to a farmer it is education. Let us take a stroll through the fair grounds and linger a moment at a few of the points iof greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the world's greatest thinkers. You are now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical science ol all ages. They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the world's progress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for , a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the __ realm of science and light a torch of ~~ progress that will illuminate the pathway of civilization for future generations. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will . continue their labors as long as time. in Their bright intellects have conquered sh death and they will live and serve m | mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have ?* shown us how grand and noble it is m to work for others; they have also rj( taught us lessons in economy and efficiency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length- pi ened our lives, multiplied? our ju opportunities and taken toil off the back of humanity. "i They are the most praftical men of the world ever produced. Their in- gg mentions have stood the acid test of futility and efficiency.
