Although I live in an adjacent county seventeen miles distant from Albany, I went, not so much attract ed by the carnival but more particu larly to see an airship in operation as a feature of the occasion, and to gratify an abiding fondness for the place of my boyhood days, for it was here I landed fifty-seven years ago when we emigrated from near Mon roe. o As I stood in Broad street looking to the west, I marked a spot where once stood a wooden store building. and 1 thought upon the time when I sat at my mother's feet in a buggy as she drove up to that store and hitched "Old Joe" to the china tree in front: and now I see a paved street, a wide sidewalk, three-story brick store, the china tree is gone and in its stead a heavy pole sup porting many wires. I thought upon that day and time when we were an even twenty in number who bore the name of Mc Collum and came from Monroe, and I said with prophet Kliiah. "And I. even 1 only, am left" There are none here now to re prove or cjurisel me: I must walk the way alone. And just in a men tal way I was humming to myself these lines: "Tired, Oh yes, ao tired, dear, Tha day haa been very Ionic; It hat been to lung since morning tide. And 1 have been ap Ion. Tired, Oh yea, ao tired, dear, rr i i 1 i l ne any naa own very lonK, The shadowy gloaming draweth near, 'Til time for an evening aong." Just then a lady's voice from the street called out: "Mr. McCollum' what are you looking at? What do you see?" I told her, more than 1 could ever undertake to tell her. O O 0 "Yonder is Cnclo Sandy1" came from across the street, and soon 1 was receiving many handshakes Dinner was served under a large tent where the corn was exhibited and the prizes awarded, and here I we made to feel like I was at a pri vale picnic with my own family: and so the duy passed with me al most as if 1 had been wafted on the breeze. My only view of the airship was skyward. It appeared in shape like an immense cigar, perhaps eighteen feet in length. I ndermatb a canoe shaped construction the full length of the cigar, on the rear end a car penter tool chest, on the front end a whirling device which reminded me of the flutter mills we made from the corn stalks when we played in the branch, except this flutter mill was revolving crosswise the branch and appeared about eighteen inches in diameter. One man alone occu pied the car and stood two-thirds the length back from the front and op erated some small rods or cable, and he cut many antic in the air that would have done credit to a black martin, or a chicken hawk on hi downward swoop for hia prey. I left him in his flight and came home dead in love with the level land and glad I could walk on it. A. 8. M.'Coui m. BacontoD, Ga.,Nov. 17, 1!K9. Lanes Should Not be Pardoned W.ih.w IortrW.

He had caught up the sii-jnar-old lad, 1- fid A. Waddie DeArmond. Jr . anJ rushed with him through the flames that tilled bis room. lie fell with his unconscious burden and both sank through the floor to death. What makes the tragedy unusa ally pathetic was the fact that the boy was his grandfather's idol. The two were inseparable and often slept together, last night the boy wen to bis grandfather's house as usual and after a happy evening the two retired. The next the family heard of them was early today when, from behind the smoke and flames that enveloped the house, the boy screamed: "Oh, grandpa, get me out of here quirk. I'm burning to death." "Yes, son, don't be afraid; grand pa will take you out," was the reply. Then both went down to their death. The others of the family sleeping in the house at the time of the tire, Mrs. DeArmond, her daughter. Airs. Chirk, and a maid, Nettie Boles, es caped. Messages of condolence from all parts of the country were received by the leArmonds this afternoon. James IteArmond, editor of the Bates County Iemocrat, son of the Congressman and father of the boy who burned to death, tried to rush into the burning house to save them but was prevented by others who knew his sacrifice would be in vain The I'eArmond home was a large two-story frame structure set well back from the street. On two sides of the house, eual with the second floor, four rooms or outdoor sleeping apartments had been constructed, and at the time the fire broke out the occupants of the house occupied these rooms. The financial loss is placed at $20,000, and included one of the bent libraries in the State. llosides James A. leArmond, the hods of the dead Congressman are Kdward II., an instructor at West Point, and Lieutenant Geo. W. De Armond, now serving with the army in the Philippines. Mi's. Clark is a daughter. Congressman IeArniond and his little grandson will have a double funeral on Friday. Burial will be in the Oak Hill cemetery at Butler. Messages of condolence 'were re ceived today from Speaker Joseph (i. Cannon and from President Taft. The latter sent the following me sane to Mrs. DeArmond: "Mrs. Taft and I are shocked to hiar the dreadful news. Your hus band ani 1 were very intimate. I valued bis friendship most highly, lie was an honest, able servant of the public and a patriot. My heart goes out to you in your loss," Suits to Compel Delivery of Cotton Sold in the Spring. Wnlnhiru MrMFnirt r tnd InlrUlirttU'rr. Alexander Sprunt & Sons of Wil mington have instituted suit in the I'nited States Circuit court at Char leston, 8. C, against Ilunt-Streater Company, a concern doing business at Chesterfield, S. C , to compel the payment of f 6,1 111 Mi, the difference in the price of 300 bales of cotton sold the Wilmington firm last spring at 10 cents and the price of the cot ton at the time it was to have been delivered. Alexander Sprunt & Sons bought many thousands of bales of cotton, in both North and South Carolina, last spring for 10 cents to be deliv ered this fall, and we notice from the papers that delivery in several in stances bas been refused. Their pur chases in Anson amounted to be tween 1,100 and 1,200 bales. Of this amount 140 bales were bought in Wadesboro, 22 ) bale in Lilea ville and the balance in Morveo. All this cotton, we are glad to say, has been delivered, though it is possible 'the merchants through whom the sa'ee were made may lose small amounts. As we understand the matter, nei ther the merchants through whom the sales were made nor the Sprunts themselves get the advantage of the rise in price. The Sprunts sold the cotton in Liverpool, receiving only a small commission for their services therefore the huglish spinners who purchased it were the camera . w. we are mm. ! Forced Into Exile. !

Ten doc tors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Re storative Nervine; we did as advised, and improvement wa apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in lox4 gave him a charge, lie never felt better, although he has very heavy work and doe a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonder ful good results from its use." MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, Milncr, Ga. This proves what Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to directions. It dors not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your Urug'isi ana g your money back. Doing Big Business Wc make it a point to handle the stock and vehicles that people want, and give prices that they can afl'ord to pay, therefore our business has grown rapidly and is still growing every day. LESS THAN A YEAR A(U). or to be exact, January 5, 1909, wc began business in Monroe, and the people have learned that wc sell stock, buggies and wagons and harness for a small profit. At the outset wc adopted the motto, "Sell Cheap and Thereby Sell a Heap." and wc have lived up to it so well that the people have learned where they can buy to best advantage. Wc sell out, go get more, sell quick, cut out feed bills, and give our customers the advantage. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT it's cheaper to keep things moving, and no where can this be done better than in the livery business. When you buy from us you know you arc getting the very best figure such good stock can be bought for anywhere else. WE HAVE FOR SALE any kind of snappy, iip-to-date buggy or surry, harness, wagons, one or two horse, at smaller profit than anybody.
