'The work on Turkey creek canal is rmaking satisfactory progress, al? though the heavy rains of the past Xe^- Cays have mace the v^-ork more .difficult. * 'Considerable hail fell Wednesdav af ^ternoon during the rain and wind :storm, but so far as can be ascertain? ed today the area covered by the fall ? of hail was not large and no damage ?was done to growing crops. The seven sewerage commissioners who have gone to Florida must learn a .great many things, if the trip is to prove a profitable investment to the ?city, for it is an expensive business for so many men to travel so far and .stay SM long. The cabbage crop is more abundant ?-ema much earlier than usual this sea? son, and the market is lavishly sup? plied with country raised cabbage ?hat are as fine as can be produced ?w anywhere. Mr. J. A. Schwerin's automobile was much more seriously damaged in the collision Friday than was thought at first, and it will be neces? sary to send'it to the factory for re? pairs, at an expense of several hun ?f dred dollars. Trie automobile coll: ion ?hr:t oc? curred on Friday ajC^rnoon, while .St" probably not due directly to fast driv? ing, should serve as a warning to 2H 'who go tearing up and clown the earth in motor cars. It is not only ? not surprising that an accident occur? red, but many have been amazed this long lime that thero have not been scores of smash-ups and collisions. The City Eocrd of Education has .secured an option on the large lot on West Calhoun rtrcctr formerly owned by Miss Julia DesChamps, for a site for the new school building. The title to the property will be made to Th<' school district as soon as the nee-s sary pacers can be prepared. It is stated that $f>.000 is the price to be paid for the lot. Tho location is a desir- ..ie one and the K?r fe l?rge .enough to afford ample play grounds Xow thr. . Ceorge Washington Mur? ray has located himself by applying for a divorce in Chicago, it becomes incumbent upon the sheriff of Sumter -county to have him. arrested and brought b?ck to^. umt^r county to i>erve out the tk.m cf imprisonment which was hanging over lum when he fled the State. A rumor has been cur Tent in the communit\ for several months that Murray was living in Chicago, but no effort was ever made, 30 far as is known, to locate and ar? rest him under the bench warrant duly issued for his arrest many months ago. If a fugitive from jus? tice gets beyond the State line he seems to be comparatively safe. A TRIP TO FLORIDA. The Seven Sewerage Commissioners Go On a Tour of Inspection. Messrs. H: D. Barnett, J. P. Booth, R. F. Haynsworth, Geo. L. Ricker, D. J. Chandler. P. Moses, Jr., and H. C.

The friends of the Game Cock City pressed eloquently the invitation and the decision to meet there next year was reached with marked enthusi? asm. It will be gratifying to all -the T. P. A. men in South Carolin-: to know that their association hos again led all the associations of its class. The telegram from the national secretary making this announcement was greet? ed with applause. On May 1st there were 41S members of the association in South carolina.

J. J. Dargan. Little Pocket Physician. Thousands who have been cured by Hyomei call the inhaler that comes with every outfit the "Little pocket Physician." as it is so small that it can be carried in the pocket or purse. There is really no excuse whatever for anyone having catarrh now that Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If you have any doubt about its value, J. F. W. DeLorme will let you have a complete outfit, with the under standing that unless it cures catarrh, it will not cost a cent. The complete Hyomei outfit con ? sists of the "Little Pocket Physician" and a bottle of Hyomei and costs $1. 5-S-2t I We always have Can? dy Fresh. ,.,".".",. I .

Giving tem? porary relief, it leaves the digestive system weaker than ever, and the tablets must be continued with in? creasing frequency. Mi-o-na excites the secretion of gastric juice, and when the food is swallowed, the stomach is ready to digest it. Mi-o-na stomach tabl?t? are never sold in bulk, but in a ntat^box con? venient for the purse or vest pocket, at ."Oe. A guarantee is given by J. F. W. DeLorme wich every box of Mi-o-na, that the money will be refunded if the remedy fails to give satisfaction. This shows his faith in the merits of the remedy. - 5-S-2t Perfume, Telephone 283.
