{ Arrangements have been made to
build an addition to the Atlantice
Coast Line freight depot, and as all
the material is now on the ground
work will begin in a short time. The
extension will be 110 feet in length

on passenger trains 79 and 7S run?
ning between Fayetteville X. C. and

improvement in the postal facilities of
this section of the State.

tisement of O'Donnell & Co.
Two railway employes were injured

Wednesday afternoon by being

The tax values of this city have
I practically doubled since 1900.
The farmers who are worrying over {
! the short crop and crying hard times
should recollect that they are far
better off than they were ten years
ago. Their lands \alone have almost
doubled in value in ten years, and
cotton is selling for ll cents. Things
could be much worse ? than they are
and are far better than this country
has experienced.
It is said that the number of ne?
groes who are slaves to the cocaine
habit is growing greater rapidly and
that once the habit is acquired there
is no redemption. The fiend becomes
a vagrant and a criminal and that
to obtain the drug he will steal any- I
thing he can lay his hands on. Al
number of the fiends are well known
to the police and are frequently be?
fore Recorder Hurst.

the lives of the citizens.
Coroner Flowers has forward?d j

A large and handsome new hospital
is to be erected for the Mood-Osteen ?
Infirmary, the patronage of that in- j
stitution having largely outgrown the
capacity of the present quarters. The
new building will cost in the neigh- !
borhood of $25,000, perhaps more. |
The site for the new building has not j
yet been selected, but it is planned to i
have spacious grounds surrounding .
the hospital.
The D. J. Chandler Clothing Co., ?
guided by an experience of more than 1
a score of years, makes a specialty of j
well tailored and stylish suits for !
men. The line this year is particular- i
ly attractive and the stock from '
which a selection is offered, is large. I
The prices are within the reach of all. j
Some say that city girls are poor, ]
ignorant things. Some of them can- j
not tell a horse from a cow, but. j
they do know that Hollister's Rocky |

Recorder's Court.
John Gray, alias Dr. Buzzard, a
shrewd negro, who has been swindling
ignorant country negroes for months
and has been sent to the chaingang
several times, was before the recorder
Wednesday. He was charged with sell?
ing a "hand" or "conjure" bag/to a
negro from Privateer for $3. The bag
which was produced in evidence con?
tained nothing but a small piece of
brick. Josh set up a general denial
but the evidence and his record were
against him, so he was sent up for 30
days. There are several other cases
of a similar character against him
that will be taken up when the pres?
ent sentence expires.
Joe Lang was given $5 or 10 days

Letter to Geo. F. Epperson.
Sumter, S. C.
Dear Sir: If yon could get the ex?
clusive sale of a coal that would give
double beat and cost no more, you'd
jump at it, wouldn't you?
You'd control the trade for a hnn
dred miles !
Devoe is like that among paints; a
short ton is a9 good as a iong one of
any paint yoa can name ; a gallon is
worth more than two of many a popu?
lar paint.
Suppose you have painted your house
about once in three years ever since it
was new; you buy the sarae number
of gallons Devoe, have a third of it
left, and it wears six yeafrs. Count
your costs.
SI.75 a gallon for paint; S3.50 a gal?
lon for putting iyfc on ; you saved 5 gal?
lons; ?26.25 on this job. But you
save the whole job of three years
hence : about $75. Put 'em together:
$100.
Can't reckon so accurately as that ;
but you see how it goes. Paint isn't
alike any more than coal. ?!ow much
more is coal worth than l-l slate.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
