Time was when a man who wore
a “Summer Suit”—coat and trousers
-sacrificed peace of mind to.copifort
of body: cool, but-looked like a fright;
coat hung like a rag in a week’s Wear.
Too many of them are still as bad
as that: look cheap, feel cheap, are
cheap.
You’ll find.a great change' when
you wear a
Hart, Schaffner & Marx
Summer Suit. We’ve taken hold of
the subject seriously now; the Sum
mer Suit is a necessity for the man
who wants to be careful as well as
cool in dress. A simple little trick of
making: the coat hangs and fits like
a full.lived, regular-made coat. You
can wear a
HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX
with no demand on yourself respect,
and very little-on your pocket booje.

mad the attack comes swift and sudden.
The mistake which commonly opens the
trey for an attack by disease is neglect
of the symptoms of stomach trouble.
When eating ia followed by undue full
ness, belching*, sour or bitter risings,
etc., disease is attacking the stomach.
The best way to frustrate such an at
tack is to use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery. It cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, and makes the body
strong and healthy,

Offerman, Ga., July 8.—Three white
men and two negroes killed, one white
man and one negro Injured Is the re-
i?lt of a severe thunder and ligbtnlug
storm here yesterday. j
The men were all employed In the
construction department of the South-
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
company and were stretching wire
when struck by lightning. The con
struction force was working In two
sections about 5 miles apart. Three
white men were killed and one Injured
In one section, two negroes killed and
one injured in the other.
One lightning bolt killed the five
and injured the two. The white men
killed were
M. C. Hawkins.
F. B. Sluder.
A. H. Rhymer, all of Alexander.
N. C.
Two gangs were at work construct-
Ing a new telephone line between Sa
vannah and Jacksonville. One gang
was located at Little Satllla river. 2
miles from Screven, and the other
gang located near Patterson, 18 mile*
east of Waycross. Two negroes were
killed and two wounded from the gang
located at Little Satllla river. The
men had quit work In the early' af
ternoon on account of rain and had
Just commenced putting up wires
again when lightning struck the wires
at 4:30 o’clock.
It Is supposed that the same shock
killed the men on both .gangs. Those
killed at Patterson were Tom Mitch
ell, negro, Valdosta, and Will Cul-
belt, negro. R. W. White, white, was
wounded seriously In the' back and
Internally. 1 B. Boykin, white, of South
Carolina, was badly shocked, but will
recover.
When the shock came Smith and
Boykin were on top of the pole. Smith
fell to the ground, a distance of 20
feet. Boykin falling across the wires
was prevented from falling to the
ground. .FPur. men were at the’ foot
of the pole handling the wires. The
shock killed two instantly and knock
ed the other two senseless. A. W.
Smith lives 7 miles,from Rome, Ga.
At Little Satllla river the killed
were F. B. Sluder, single, white, of
North Carolina; M. C, Hawkins, single,
white, and A. H. Rhymer, white. D.-B,
Bradfleld, of Atlanta, was badly shock,
ed, but will recover. The two men
had Just begun work like the Patter
son gang when the shock came. From
fifteen to twenty men were working
In each gang. W. M. Burke was fore
man of the Patterson gang and W.
H. Miller was foreman of the Little Sa
tllla river gang.
it Is believed to 1iave been a mis
take of thejoremen In allowing the
men to work so soon after the light
nlng storm.
The telephone lines were nearly
completed between Jacksonville anl
Savannah. The negroes are greatly
frightened at the death of their com
rades and there may be some trou
ble In getting them to complete th*
lilies.

So Declares Captain J. P. Williams,
of Southwest Georgia.
Savannah, Ga., July 9.—Captain
P. Williams has returned from a trip
to southwest Georgia, where ho spent
several days lu the Interest of his Ann
and looking over his railway, the Geor
gia, Florida and Alabama.Ho noted
conditions carefully during his stay,
and the reports he brings hack of
crops aro not encouraging.
"In southwest Georgia,” sold Mr.
Williams, “the corn crops are the poor
est I ever saw. Throughout tho sec
tion I know that there must he thou
sands of acres that will not yield a
bushel to the acre. Besides being’
very poor, I should say that the cotton
crqp Is at least 30 or 40 per cent be
hind what It was last year at this time.
For the lack of rain both corn and
cotton are literally burned up, and 1
think the crops present the most dis
tressing sight I have witnessed for
years.
“There (a no hope for the corn crop
to recuperate from the fearful ravages
of the drought, as It Is now made, and
t oelleve, on tho whole. It will snow
[ up at least 40 per cent shorL Every
where I went 1 found the farmers very
blue, for they realized how thin were
their chances of making any sort of
a crop now. Among the counties I
visited were Miller, Randolph, Early,
Stewart, Clay, Terrell and Sumter.
From here to Tennllle, along the Cen
tral, the crops are good, but from Ma
con down through Houston county ana
along tho line of the Southwestern
railway they are as poor as I ever
saw, I am not a pessimist, and I do
not see thing* darkly, as a rule, but it
this 'cdie there li no other way for me
to see them.”
