Arc You an Independent American Citizen ?
During the coming Presidential Campaign, you will read a thousand
appeals to the “Independent Citizens of the United States”.
A man is not inde,»endent if he has no money saved up, if he must
look to somebody else, every time he needs a little cash.
A man is not independent if his business is in such shape that he
cannot move unless some other man will loan him a little money.
The Fall season is at hand. Put by something in the bank so that
when this time of need comes you will not have to depend upon some other
man for what you must have.
game. Build up a bank account. Don’t put it off ’till next month, or
next year. DO IT NOW!

Figures on
Mastic Mixed Paint
“Tho Kind That Lmmtm”
It is a demonstrated fact that Mastic paint, cover¬
ing 300 square feet—two coats—is cheaper at
50 per cent higher price than a paint covering
200 square feet, to sr.v nothing of its greater
durability. So the economical man can safely
figure it is wise economy to use Mastic paint.
It lasts long after the price is forgotten.

W. E. Keaton is Danger¬
ously Wounded.
A difficulty occurred in the
eastern part of the county Tues¬
day in which Mr. W. E. Keaton
was twice wounded. The diffi¬
culty was between him and Cohen
Miller and John Miller. Mr.
Keaton was shot through the
breast with a Winchester rifle,
and also received a pistol wound
in the abdomen. The rifle bullet
is said to have pierced near his
lung and passed clear through
his body. The pistol bullet only
inflicted a flesh wound.
The trouble arose over some
hands which Keaton had brought
from l'homasville to pick cotton.
From best information obtaina¬
ble, Keatou ordered the Millers
off his place, but they Boon re¬
turned, one with a rifle and the
other with a pistol. Keaton then
secured his rifle and went down
in to the. field and jignin ordered
TKem away." Aspiritefi colloquy
ensued and the Millers jumped
behind trees and a general firing
commenced. No one seems to
have been hit except Keaton.
Some ten or twelve shots were
fired and Keatou is said to have
been shot at several times after
he had fallen. Bill Cox who was
standing near then tried to in¬
terfere but was held off at the
point of a gun until the men
could get in their buggy and
leave. The Millers escaped with¬
out being arrested.
Mr. Keaton is being attended
by Dr. F. M. Brown of Camilla,
who says that he will recover un¬
less unforeseen complications
should set iu. Cohen Miller is
a son of Mr. Sam Miller, and
all the parties are prominent in
this county.
It is a most deplorable affair.
The friends of Mr. Keatou are
very glad to know that his inju¬
ries will uot prove fatal.
The Cow Ordinance In
Thomasvl’le.
The Thomasville Press reports
that the cow ordinance of that
city netted the city $75.00 at one
clip, and got one defendant in
trouble. ,
Henry Porter, colored, charged
with disorderly conduct and re¬
sisting an officer was fined $75.00
aud cost, or 90 days on the streets.
Cow catcher Blalock got Porter’s
cow and started to the pound with
her and Porter met the officer and
took the cow away from him and
carried her home. When the de¬
fendant was summoned before tbe
court he abused the officers and
tore up the summons in their
presence. As a result he got a
penalty of $75.00.
