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.

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.

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. TWO GEORGIANS IN WRECK.

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.” Located In Chicago.
