AQUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
.~ MEN AND WOMEN OVER 50
v YEARS OLD MATELESS.
. WASHINGTON, ‘D. C.—The un
“married state now enfolds, more than
1,600,000 women and men over forty
five years of age, it is shown in reports
of the United States census burcau to
day. :
- "Insufferable lonesomeness” was the
term useéd by Dr. George P. Harding,
- in_explaining his marriage at seventy
six to Miss Severns, aged fifty-two.
“More than 100,000 men of about Dr.
- Harding’s age are listed as bachelors,
‘the official records show. A nearly
‘equal number of women of sixty-four
years of age or over also are unmar
ried. And a still larger nuiber of wo
men and men over fifty are without
mates as a result of divorce or death.
There now are in the United States
_approximately 960,000 men of forty
five years of age or more who never
entered matrimony. For the corre
sponding age group the number of-un
married women is approximately 712,-
000. :
The official reports indicate, how
ever, that marriages of men and wo
men of the age of Dr. Harding and
the former Miss Severns are becoming
more and more frequent. The popula
tion as a whole is entering the mar
riage state at a much later average
than in the last decade. The average
man marries at the age of thirty, the
reports show, and the average woman
not later than twenty-five.
At the same time the people of the
United States are shown to be living to
ra more rine age. Mord than 3,000 per
sons now claim to be 100 years of age
or older, according to the census rec
ords.
Big Moonshine Raid
Pulled Off in Randolph
Barrel of Whisky and More Than 50
. Barrels cf Mash Were Found.
P Assisted by Randolph county offi
cers G. W. Saye, of the federal prohi
bition enforcement deparmtent, raided
the place of C. C. (Lumj Wright, near
Cuthbert, and found in the smoke
house or somewhere near about it a
large barrel almost full of whisky, and
nearby in a swamp on the place 60
barrels of “mash” were located. No
distillery was found, said Mr. Saye.
The barrels of mash were destroyed,
but the whisky and Wright were taken
into custody and carried to Albany,
where the man is to be tried for vio
lating the federal prohibition law. He
was later released under $l,OOO hond
Wright owns about 1,000 acres of
land lying between Morris Station and
Cuthbert. Somebody evidently engag
ed in manufacturing whisky on a large
scale has for some time been causing
considerable disturhance in Stewari,
Quitman and Randolph counties b
selling the stuff.
OLD-TIME COLD CURE—
: DRINK HOT TEA!
-c-0,-00-oonmm
Get a small package of Hamburg
PBreast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
It is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
Rub Soreness from joints and muscles
with & small trial bottle of old
; St. Jacobs oil
Stop “dosing” Rheumatism.
It’s pain only; not one case in fifty
requires internal treatment. Rub sooth
ing, penetrating “St, Jacobs Oil” right
on the “tender spot,” and by the time
you say Jack Robinson—out comes the
rheumatic pain. “St. Jacob’s 0Oil” is
‘@ harmless rheundatism cure which
never disappoints and doesn’t burn the
skin. It takes pain, soreness and stiff
ness from aching joints, muscles and
bones; stops sciatica, lumbago, backache,
meuralgia.
Limber up! Get a 35 cent bottle of
old-time, honest “St. Jacobs Oil” from
any drug store, and in a moment you’ll
be free from pains, aches and stiff
ness, Don’t suffer! Rub rheumatism
away.

Fall Root Crops.
|
. Almost every one¢ knows how to
;grow turnips; but when it comes to the
ivarious other root crops grown in our
'gardens, the knowledge of their agri
!cultnral requirements is not so general.
?A.‘ good rule to remember is that prac
‘tically all the root crops do best in a
‘deep fertile soil, and should be planted
!at such a time that they will have a
imoderately cool season for develop
'ment, In the spring we . plant these
crops about the first of March. Bub
for a fall erop they should be planted
!from the middle of August until early
; September,
Some #f the common root crops that
lare adapted for fall planting are beets,
'salsify, parsnips, carrots, turnips and
| winter radishes. Any surplus seeds of
Ithese which may have been! left from
'spring planting may be used for the
‘}fall planting. e
i Unless the soil is al-eady fertile it
ishould be given a hcavy application
iof stable manure put o.a broadcast be
fore the land is broken. A moderate ap
|plication of a good coinmercial fertili
' zer with the stable manure will be
’hclpfu}. After the land is broken and
harrowed the rows may be laid out
three feet apart for horse culture or
‘cighteen inches apart f6r hand culture.
Shallow flat ridges should be made
land then opened so that the bottom of
the drills will be slightly beLow the
|gellqral level of the szil. Sow thd seeds
continuously in the drill and cover very
Jlightly. A very good method is to run
'a wheel barrow down the drill which
presses the seeds into the soil and cov
lers them sufficiently. As the seeds
germinate, the young plants should be
cultivated regularly so as to keep
‘down weeds. After the young plants
iare about two inches high they should
be thinned as’ follows; beets and tur
ln/ips two inches apart; parsnips, ‘rad
lishes gnd carrots one and one-half
linchcs apart; salsify one inch apart.
Unless the winter is unusually cold,
’practically all these root crops may be
allowed to remain in the soil and har
vested for table use as they are needed
all through the late fall and winter:
Those which are inchned to grow
'al)ove the ground should have consid
erable soil thrown up around the
plants at the last cultivation.

Ef\lud:zl_\'um- Obenchain in cannection
x s : 9
with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy,
'Los Angeles broker, at his summer
‘bungalow near Beverly Glen, broke the
stoical silence he maintained since hav
ing been apprehended in Ilas Vegas,
Nev., by declaring that on the witness
stand he will spring a vital card which
will clear him of suspicioh in connec
‘tion with Kennedy's death. Burch_and
Mrs. Obenchain *pleaded “not guilty”
'when arraigned in criminal court.
| He says he can explain away the
maze of evidence District Attorney
!Thomas L.ee Woolwine ' has gathered
tending to prove that he was on the
'spot when Kennedy met death.
' Despite hours of grueling question
ing neither Burch nor Mrs. Obenchain
}hzls said anything which light, incrim
‘inaté the other. Every effort to make
the fair Madalynne, at one time de
clared the most beautiful girl on the
campus of the university which she at
tended, tell all in order that she might
gain immunity has met with the re
‘sponse that she had said everything
‘there was to say, alwvays reaffirming
‘her belief that Burch is innocent. -
| Rushes to Former Wife's Aid.
After visiting his divorced wife in
‘the jail Ralph Obenchain, who rushed
to Los Angeles at her plea, says there
is no question whatever of the girl’s
innocence. Obenchain will probably be
on th;\defcnse counsel. The Rev. Wil
liam A. Burch, father of the accused
‘man, left after an hour’s quiet conver
sation with his son with a smile on
‘his lips.
It is said that the largest sum ever
'gathered for criminal defense is being
placed at the disposal of Madalynne
and Burch, according to a prominent

APPOINTEES FOR SOME OF
MOST IMPORTANT OFFICES
HAVE BEEN AGREED ON.
SAVANNAH, Ga—Practically all
the republican patronage in this sec
tion of the state scems to have been
determined except the postmastership
at Savannah. Reports from Washing
ton state that Fred D. Dismuke, of
Thomasville, has won his nght for ap
pointment as Georgia prohibition offi
cer.
Equally interesting is the further in
formation that N. P. Jones, of Atlanta,
has been selected as chief of the new
enforcenient activities under Mr. Dis
muke. The National Anti-Saloon
l.eague and other dry leaders would
have preferred Jones for first place, but
are satisfied over the arrangement that
has been worked. out.
Prentiss Edwards, son of Harry
Stillwell Edwards of Macon, promi
nent republican, probably will be ap
pointed United States marshal for the
southern district of Georgia, and F.
G. Boatright, of Cordele, is the “best
bet” for appointment as district at
torney.
W. L. Phillips, of Thomasville, the
new Georgia republican state chairman,
is in Washington to take up the na
tional patronage situation with the na
tional administration.
There is said to be every indication
of a disposition to accept his recom
mendations without question. It is ex
pected while he is in Washington 2
complete Georgia patronage slate will
be agreed on and made public,
The Savannah republicans have been
pulling for George F. White, of Al
bany, for United States marshal, but
they are said to be satisfied with the
selection of Edwards, Mr. White is
now a deputy clerk of the court at
Albany and a United States commis
sioner.
Watson to Defend
Man in Washington
-
A Georgian Named Henry White Is
Held There on a Murder Charge.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—3enator
Thomas E. Watson, for the first time
in several years, will appear before
court in defense of a man charged with
a criminal offense.
His client will be William Henry
White, of Atlanta, who is now in the
custody of District of Columbia offi
cials charged with manslaughter.
According to reports White left At
lanta: several days ago en route to
points in the east; his baggage was
checked through and in a suitcase he
had deposited a Spanish-American war
pistol, not knowing the gun was load
ed, it is said. In handling the bag
gage at the Washington union sta
tion a negro porter in dropping the
suitcase caused the concealed gun to
be discharged, the bullet tearing its
way throungh the case and lodging in
the porter’s stomach. He died from
the wound, and, following a verdict of
manslaughter by the coroner’s jury,
Mr. White was located and brought
back to the city pending action by the
grand jury. :
Senator Watson and Representative
Charles H. Brand interested themselves
in White’s case immediately, taking
the position that the killing was acci
dental and that the only charge possi
ble to be brought was one of involun
tary manslaughter—the killing of a
person by the commission of an un
lawful act—the pistol being concealed
in the bag and, therefore, in violation
of the law. :
Senator Watson stated that he did
not consider the case worthy of prose
cution.
Departed This Life
Indebted to No One
Man Leaves 45 Cents to Pay for Gas
Used in Committing Suicide.
CHICAGO, Ill.—William Larson
had gone through fifty-five years of
life owing no man. So today before
ending his life in the bathroom of his
home he wrote a note telling of his
act and deposited 45 cents beside it to
pay for the gas he used in committing
suicide. The note read:
“I always pay my debts. This is to
pay for the gas I use. Going to pay
the last big debt of all.”
SEA CAPTAIN SAW RATS
RISHING WITH THEIR TAILS
Hungry Rodents Catch Crabs in a
Peculiar Manner.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal—Capt. C.
A. W. Monekten, who has been ex
ploring in New Guinea, brings back
this almost unbelievable tale:
“While sitting quietly there (on a
small coral island) I noticed some rats
going down to the edge of the reef—
lank, hungry-looking brutes they were
with pink, naked tails. I stopped on
the pcint of throwing lumps of coral
at them, out of curiosity to see what
the vermin meant to do at the sea.
“Rat after rat picked a fattish lump
of coral, squatted on the edge and
dangled his tail in the water; suddenly
one rat gave a violent leap of about
a yard and as he landed I saw a crab
clinging to his tail. Turning round, the
rat grabbed the crab and devoured it,
and then returned to his stone; the
while the other rats were repeating
the same performance.” \

BOY IS BADLY GORED
BY AN INFURIATED BULL
Srur on Youth’s Shoes Probably Sav
ed Him From an Untimely Death.
RICHLAND, Ga.-—Master Buster
Chappell, son oi L. P. Chappell, of
near Richland, was painfully gored by
an infuriated bull last week. The
young man realized his danger when
he saw the bull dashing toward him,
but was unable to get away. He was
knocked down and gored in one of
his thighs, but fortunately he had
presence of mind enough to use a spur
which was buckled on one of his shoes
and in this manner cut the bull across
the nose several times and spiked him
enough to cause him to cease in his
determination to kill the boy.
The boy was brought into the city,
where medical attention was given. It
was necessary to take several stitches
in his thigh and he is now able to be
around on crutches.

Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouble—Take
glass of Salts.
No man or woman who eats meat regu
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally. sayz a well-known
authority, Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons®irow
ihe blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, iiver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in ite
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take @
tablespooniul in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fire. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also te neutralize the acids
in urine so it no lomger causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness,
Jad ‘Salts is inexpensive and caunot

lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and aciive and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding seriods kidney
complications,
ON the first of each month following purchase
all accounts made with us will become due

We have been forced to adopt this policy ,
on account of high freight rates which, together
with labor, both being cash, constitute a large
per cent of the cost of our lumber and other
material. e
In order to meet our obligations promptly .
it will be impossible to run accounts for an in
definite period as we have in the past.
We solicit your patronage on this basis be
