I IN THE SHADE
I
Yesterday a Day of Simply
Sweltering Heat
BUSINESS WAS AT A STANDSTILL
During Afternoon There Was Practi
cally a Cessation of Trading of
All Kinds-No Relief Seems
to Be in Sight Yet.
One hundred and one degrees, un
der an awning, six feet above the side
walk.
That was what the thermometer by
the postoffice registered yesterday af
ternoon at 3 o'clock./
No one had the temerity to ask
another: "Is it hot enough for you?”
It was net hot. It ceased to be hot
about noon time. After that it was
simply blistering.
The man who wanted a Turkish
bath had only to patrol on Jackson
street from Lamar to Church for five
minutes to have his wishes fully grat
ified.
Anywhere along that block for
three hours an egg could have been
fried to a delicious brown on the
patent pavement. And it would not
have taken much over thirty seconds
to have done it.
Business was at a standstill for
sevral hours. Practically no one
moved outside who did not have to.
Even the soda water fountains fail
ed to gurgle until the cooler breath of
the evening had come upon the city.
At 3 o'clock, when the heat was
most keenly felt, the most ideal ex
istence that could be conjured up in
the mind was a prostrate position
under a tree on a snow-clad moun
tain top, a mint julep with plenty
of crushed ice, and a long straw,
as one’s only companion.
Americus had plenty of company.
The hot wave is general, from one
end of the state to the other. It is
hot on the coast, hot in the mid
country, and hot in'the mountains.
And the worst part of it is that it
is likely to be hot again today, and
perhaps tomorrow.
As an antidote for the heat read
Dr. Kane’s Arctic Explorations and
confine your diet to ice cream, frozen
watermelons and iced tea.
WEDDED ON SUNDAY
Mr. R. E. McAfee. Jr., and Miss Liz
zie Mae Oliver Married.
/ A pleasant social surprise came on
Sunday afternpon when the many
friends of Mr. R. E. McAfee, Jr., and
Miss Lizzie Mae Oliver, learned that
they had been married by Rev. J, P.
WardlaWy/
The wedding took place at the Me
thodist parsonage. The attendants
were Mr. Willis Morgan and M'ss
Madge McAfee.
Mr. McAfee is a jeweler by profes
sion and *a valued employe of Mr. S.
A. Daniel, and has a host of friends
whose good wishes go with him. His
bride is an attractive young lady who
also enjoys an extensive circle of
friends.
For the present the bridal couple
will make their home with Mr. Mc-
Afee’s parents.
Mr. Massengale Elected Official Solici
tor at Niagara Falls.
At the seventeenth annual conven
tion of the National Billposters and
Distributers at Niagara Falls Mr. St.
Elmo Massengale, President of the
Massengale Advertising Agency, with
offices at Atlanta and Richmond, was
elected Official Solicitor for the Asso
ciation. This is the first O fficial So
licitor elected in the Southern States,
and is quite an honor as well as
meaning a great deal to the advertis
ers of the South. The Massengale Ad
vertising Agenc ywill put in a special
department to handle bill posting in

A Bold Step.
To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the more intel
ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com
pounds, Dr. 11. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y., some time ago, decided to make a bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, andj. so has published broad
cast and opcnTy to the whole world, a full
and complete list of al! tho ingredients
entering inW-the composition of his widely
celebrated mpdiemes. Thus he has taken
his numenws Matrons and patients jnto
his full Thus too he has re
movecbmis/medicines from among secret
nostr/ro<of doubtful merits, and made
therntficmcdic* of Known CompotUion.
By tli is holiLsten Dr. Pierce has shown

Not only does the wrapper or every bo'.tie
of Dr. Fierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, the
famous medicine for weak stomach, pid
liver or biliousness and ail catarrhal diseases
wherever located, have printed upon it, in
jilain English, a full and complete Hst of all
the ingredients composing it, but a small
book lias been compiled from numerous
standard medical works, of all the different
schools of practice* containing very numer
ous extracts from the writings of leading
practitioners of medicine, endorsing in the
| i ‘tnnnjcst jjuMlhle tenns, each and every Ingre
dient contained in Dr. Fierce’s medicines.
One of these little books will be mailed free
to any one sending address on postal card or
by letter, to Dr. K. V. Fierce, Buffalo, N. V.,
and requesting the same. From this little
book it will be learned that Dr. Fierce’s.med

“A footman,” said a banker, “called
his master up by telephone and said:
,rr l* regret to inform you,* sir, that
your house is on Are and fast burning
down.’
“ ‘Oh,’ cried the master, ‘what a ter
rible misfortune! But my wife—is she
safe?’
“ ‘Quite safe, sir. She got out among
the first.’
“ ‘Are my daughters—are they all
right?’
“ ‘All right, sir. They’s with their
mother.’
“There was a pause. Then:
“ ‘And what about my mother-in-law,
James?’
“ 'That, sir,' said the footman suave
ly, ‘was what I wished to speak to you
about, sir, particularly. Your mother
in-law is lyin’ asleep in the third story
back, and knowin’ your regard for her
comfort, sir, I wasn’t sure whether I
ought to disturb her or not, sir. ’”—

Which Is Your Shortest Hour?
“What is your shortest hour in the
day?” asked a business man of an ac
quaintance. “Don’t say you have none.
You have, although you may not
know it. Everybody has. Os course,
reckoned by actual measurement, each
hour is composed of sixty minutes, yet
notwithstanding that chronological ex
actness the hours vary In length. My
shortest hour is from 2 to 3 o’clock in
tho- afternoon. I find upon inquiry
thut this is the fleetest period for many
people. In my case so swiftly do
those sixty minutes hurry by that I
try to crowd into them as many of
the disagreeable, yet inevitable, things
of life as I possibly can. If I have
to interview a bore, I see him then;
if I have to visit the dentist, I do it
then. That hour is bound to slip away
quickly, no matter what happens;
therefore the agony of disagreeable
scenes seems of shorter duration.”—

Naked Truth.
in encounter of wits once took place
between the kite Eugene Field and a
New York woman. It was at dinner,
and the woman was in evening dress,
which was rather decollete. After a
skirmish between the two relative to
the respective merits of a well known
author it would seem that Field came
off second best.
“Oh, Mr. Field,” exclaimed the wo
man exultantly, “you must admit that
you are fairly . beaten at your own
game!”
Field bowed politely and, with a
smile, promptly rejoined, “At any rate,
Miss Blank. I have one consolation—
you can’t laugh at me in your sleeve.”

1 LOW JEALOUSY
‘ Jonn Mosley, Colored, Shot
and Killed Near Home
WOMAN IS HELD FOR THE CRIME
Hosley and His Companion Each Went
to Church With Some One Else--
Jealousy is Believed to Have
Prompted the Killing of
Hosley.
John Hosley, colored, on Mrs. Press
ley’s place, in the 28th district, on
the river, was shot and killed on last
Friday night. His body was found
near his house.
It is not definitely known who
killed the negro, but suspicion points
strongly to a negro woman, Sophia
Kitchen, with whom the dead man
had been living.
It is known that the couple had
a quarrel at the church on the night
of the killing, growing out of the fact
that Sophie had gone to the church
with another man, and Hosley \ytli
another woman.
it is believed that mutual jealousy
brought on a difficulty resulting in
the killing of Hosley. It is believed
that the Kitchens woman either dfd
the deed or knows who fired the
shot that put Hosley out of the way.
She has been arrested and is now
confined in the Sumter county jail.
YESTERDAY IN AMERICUS
Blizzard Came Down From Northwest
With Fearful Force.
Americas was snow bound yester
day.
The great blizzard that has been
ranging for three days in the North
west finally reached here.
It came in like a lion, with terri
fic gusts of snow and a drop in the ;
thermometer to near zero. j
Inside of an hour Muckalee creek
was covered with a thin film of ice, '
and before night the ice was heavy
enough to sustain skaters. Today
if the weather moderates htere will
be fine sports for skaters.
The snow continued for over three ]
hours. When it had moderated, the
streets were in fine shape for lseigh
ing. In some corners the snow was
banked up two or three feet deep. The
children enjoyed their first snow ball
ing of several years, and even the 1
old entered into the sport with great
zest.
From all over Sumter county comes
news of heavy drifts rendering it im
possible tp get to town. Rural route |
men have been unable to carry out
tile mail and >t may ue Two or tnree
days before they will reach all parts
of the county.
It is generally believed, though, that
the weather will moderate as quickly ,
as it changed on yesterday and that
by tonight the snow and the ice will
be melting. In two or three days
there will probably be no signs of
the blizzard left.
Only a dream, but oh! how pleas
ant to think of. 1
PLANNED THEIR VACATION
Church Street Couple Find Finances
and Hopes Don’t Gee.
The Church street wife and her
hubby of a year sat out on the piazza
yesterday. It was hot, it was even
worse than hot, and they thought of
Tybee and the cool sea breezes, of the
North Carolina mountain resorts and
the iciness of the winds that swept
over them.
“Now, John, about our vacation,”
said the little wife.—“ Got your pen
cil? Now, I shall need two pairs of
shoes, say $7; no, better say $lO, so I
can get one fancy pair for special
occasions. It isn’t as if we were go- I
ing up to the farm again this years"
“$10,” said John, putting it down.
“And a hat. I must have a hat. An
other $10.” 1
$10.”
“And we simply must have a new
trunk, John. Those new dresses—”
“Then I must have some stock- 1
ings, belts, buckles and things like
that. Say another $10.”
“$10.” ■
“And did-you find out how much it
would be to hoard the dog for two
-
$12.”
“And the cat?”
“$5.00.”
“And the canary?”
$2.00.”
“How they will other—
the pets! John, I was adding UP the
bills for groceries and meats and
things that we must pay before we
go away, $92.”
$92.”
“Then there’ll be expressage and
berths and excess baggage, say $10 —”
$10.”
“Train fare, $20.”
$20.”
“Os course, John, rates have gone
up at the seashore. Two months at
sls a week for me. Two weeks for
you and Sundays. Say, S2OO, Grac
ious!”
$200.”
“John, you'd better add them up.”
Spoken tremuously, and after_ a
pause, John says:
$394, say $400.”
"And how much money will you
have, John?”
“Um—s 62, $72, SB2, s92—um.
About S9O, I should judge.”
Silence, while darkness covers the
world like a shroud.
