trict OF Schley county Is in olved in big
lawsuit. 1t is a mo fence" district, and is in
trouble in consequence. Two neighbors,
who have lived on the most amicable terms
since the war, are now involved in crimna-
tlCn and recrimInation, hurting epithets and
anathemas at one another, and both of
them We're favorable to the stock law, or no
fence. 1t all grew out of the fact that
lane, which had existed for over fifty years,
was closed up by one Of the parties, which
shut the other one out from ingress and
egress with the world. The whole district
nearly is involved, as all are related to
either one or the other of the two partici-
pants of the imbroglio. They were getting
on famously before the stock law was inau-
gurated.

The most noted bell of to-day in Sumter
county is one owned by the Heys brothers
In 1862 Samuel Heys, father of the present
owners of the bell, contracted with Gen
Winder, then commander of the Anderson
vile prison, to build the first part of the
stockade. 1t was necessary while doing this
work to have a bell to notify the hands
when to 60 to work. Mr. Heys had in his
possession large bell, which he loaned to
the General for that purpose. After the
completion of the prison the bell was used
as prison signal until the close of the war
After everything became quiet, Mr. Heys
sent his SONS up to Andersonville and had
the bell brought back home to Americas,
where it has remained since, having been in
his family for more than thirty years. This
bell was used by the "Americus Variety
Works." one of the first enterprises that
Americas knew. The Heys brothers also
have in their possession nice desk used by
one of the prisoner clerks at Andersonville.
