There is colored man, Daniel Har-
vim, citizen of this county, %ho has
paid all of his debts, has forty bales Of
cotton on hand and $500 in bank. How
is that for good work and a show of
what thrift, honesty and energy will do?
We are informed that a couple OF
years ago this same man finished pay
ing for the place on which he lives and
that he made his money by hard work
and judicious management. He does
not lose time attending political gath
erings and hot Suppers; his whole time
is devoted to his business and he Is said
to be an excellent neighbor.
Read H. Harby's advertisement in
another column, in which he gives his
reasons for advertising. The people OF
this county know that when Hardy says
a thing it is so, and when he says he
has horses, buggies, wagons, lime, hay
and oats by the carload and will sell
cheap, the people can depend on it.
We want our friends who 60 to Sumter
to 60 to Harby's stables and see for
themselves what they can do at a sta
Bile where the proprietor's word IS
equal to bond. where no sharp prac-
tice is INDUCED in, but where every
man is treated honestly and squarely.
Such place is Il. Harby,s in Sumter.
PEOPLE must have furniture. and no.
where in South Carolina can their
wants in this line be better supplied
than at Arthur Belitzer's in Sumter.
BelitZer is q money-saver and besides
his lines are of the very latest and di-
rect bv the carload from the best facto-
ries. When you wish to furnish bed
room or parlor or dining room with
furniture. decorations, china or glass
ware. Belitzer will furnish you what
YOU want and save you money. He
can sell to you at the same prices
that small dealers have to pay, and
when you buy an article from him 1t
goes with his guarantee. When IN
Sumter go to Belitzer's.
We have received letter from the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph Company" making inquiries re-
lating to running of telephone lines in
this town and county, asking informa-
tion with regard to distances, number
of "phones used, amount invested IN
present lines, whether or not the com
pany now operating has franchise,
and about how many "'phones could
be utilized in the county if rates were
low. We have not replied as Eet, think
ing best to confer with people living in
various sections. AS far as the town Is
concerned we are satisfied the new COM
pany will be patronized, because the
Service will be first class, day and all
night, and besides, this company will
give the advantage of long distance
"phones. The Southern Bell Com
panv has been sending men out pros
pecting for some time and so has the
Gordon Company. One of the latter
was here last week, and we hope that
both, which are competing lines, will
run their wires through this town and
county.
