I am not dead; I am just recovering along with some of the other boys from a severe attack of blues caused by the departure of several of the school-ma'ams of the surrounding neighborhood. It is especially lonely now "down by the old mill stream", but my only consolation is singing the old hymn, "Yield Not to Temptation." Messrs Lee McCants of Oak Ridge and Murphy Hardee of Andrews passed through this section last Sunday en route to Bryan's. Mr R D Blakeley had business at Andrews one day last week.

Otto Fleischmann,president of the Flpishmann Vehicle comDanv and a member of the family that made a fortune as manufacturers of bread, shot himself yesterday in a hotel in New York where he had registered under an assumed name. It is feared he will net recover. His only explanation was that he was tired of life and wanted to be forgotten. The Fleischmann family is noted for its philanthropies, including the free breadline in New York.

Mr Tart lost two of his children, being killed by the storm, besides injuries to himself and others of his family. His dwelling was wrecked. We sympathize greatly with these un- , fortunate victims. Miss Nell Chandler, who has been spending some time with Mrs Cooper here, has returned to her home at Gourdin. Mr E W Tutle's new residence is fast nearing completion and will be ' quite an addition to the town. Messrs J T David and J G Bryan went to Lake City Sunday on a "dear" hunt.

Sumter, May 11:?W S Jones, a i prominent citizen of this city, was arrested here yesterday on eight warrants, all charging forgery in connection with the filing with the i Equitable Assurance Society, of which he has been the local agent for years, of alleged fraudulent death claims. It is charged that Jones forged the names of the payees to claims which the company declares are false, and it is further alleged that such practice has extended over a period of several years. Saturday afternoon three warrants were sworn out by Br F E Vander Veer, a physician employed by the company, and yesterday five more warrants were taken out, all charging forgery. Jones was arrested by Sheriff Bradford, but was immediately released on bond of $5,000. The affair came as a great surprise , to Sumter people. Colored School Commencement.

(Continued from poxe 3) Mr L A Taylor was an inspiration to all. When "Slim Jim" and "Clumsy Claud" appeared on the scene, and after a chase. Clumsy Claud caught Slim Jim and exclaimed?"Ha, Slim Jim, what's the difference between capital and labor? Well, if I give you ten dollars that is capital, if I get it back that is labor." Best last. Those baskets tilled with spring chicken, lake bream and everything you could think of were unloaded on long tables and gracefully served by "sweet sixteens" of the Home Keepers' club. After dinner, Vox played Prospect in a game of baseball, the score being in favor of Vox, 14 to 10. Come again, Prospect! Mr L A Taylor's remarks, referred to in the foregoing, were as follows: "Friends! Patrons!?I remember AtTT i wry wen, vcij paiuj.utijr wen, nvw my mother used to drill into me that old, old adage, 'Where there's a will, there's a way', and I must confess to you I had no faith in it since mother had to verify the statement with a half dozen peach sprouts a half dozen times a day. And oh, my, that old peach tree! What magnificent sprouts it would sprout. But here, these energetic teachers with the liberal co-operation of friends and patrons, have, in spite of the money panic, equipped our building with every modern improvement. The installation of single desks, a set of 8 Johnston's maps in patent case, a globe, pictures, 60 feet Hyloplate board in both rooms, a large school dictionary, teacher's desk, an $18 sanitary drinking fount, and a library worth $55.00. This equipment with the corn club, tomato club, flower club, and, last and best, the Cooking, or Home Keepers' club, the largest in the county?I say these things stand for progress. The boys have their corn planted, the girls have their tomatoes growing, and we see the flowers blooming and oh, my, the good things these Home Keepers' club girls have been feeding us on. Really, Mr Speigner, I wish you could have stepped into my home one afternoon when they had their j first meeting, and seen the table loaded with the nicest cakes?pound 1 - ? ? 1?amI.a inlltf no I/O ITUKe, cuucuiuie CariC, JCIIJ uinv, Lord Baltimore cake?I mean Lady Baltimore cake?the kind they stick J together with icing full of raisins, I fruit and nuts. "Then. Brother Morris, I wish you had been with us at a reception given here, following the unveiling of the portraits of Gen Lee and Gen Washington, when these cooking club girls served, in such such appropriate colors, their daintily prepared refreshments. Boys, when you are ready for your better half, you had better come to Vox. When this school gets through with a girl she'll be fit for the "wife of a king. "We have not onlv lengthened the term, but Mrs Dickson has given every spare moment to teaching music and now these music pupils are able to read their music, and charm us with their sweet songs."

V KH Jvingstn Tw ?0 Kingstree, With Our Advertisers. The Kingstree Furniture Co opened up Tuesday for business with a large and handsome stock of all kinds of furniture on hand. Mr S J Deery is in charge of the sales department and will be pleased to serve his friends and the public in general. This is a new concern and its officers are composed of some of the town's best business men. Their n^ am r>ocrc\ A nf tHics UU Will UC 1UU1IU vu m. v* >..>/ paper. The King Hardware Co have a change of ad in this paper calling attention to its new line of oil heaters.

Messrs Davis & Fennell's ad will be found on page 3 this week. The Silverman Department Store has a large ad on page 3, announcing that they are ready for business with a full line of everything to wear?all new?nothing old. On aqcount of the fact that all kinds of paper and materials used in job printing are higher than ever before within our experience, we find it necessary to require cash on delivery for all job work. We feel sure our friends will appreciate the necessity that compels us to this course and help us by paying promptly. On account of poor collections and falling off in advertising patronage, we have lost on an average since January 1,1915, $100 a month. Printers have to be paid every Saturday night and our other expenses have increased until it has never I cost us so much to run the business. Some cash must come in or we shall be forced to the wall. tf He Got the Number. An amusing incident took place the other day in a large railroad goodsyard. A new man was sent to unload a wagon and to check the list of goods. He did the work, but forgot to fill in ho nnmhor of the waeon in its place on the form. On this being pointed out to him he departed, and returned after an absence of half an hour, and banged down the castiron number, wrenched from the side of the wagon, remarking: "Shur^, the next toime yez want the number of a wagon, ye can go for it yersilf."?London Tit-Bita.
