Farmers are Ready to Begin The New

VIII Be Plenty Doing Very Early
Next Monday Morning.

Farmers of Sumter county will go
energetically to work next Monday
morning, and the New Year will dawn
upon hundreds of negroes and mules
in the cotton and cornfeIds about
Americas. Dozens of farmers were in
Americus yesterday completing pur-
chases of supplies needed to start the
plows going and the first workday of
the new year will find hundreds here st
work. Farmers have no difficulty in
securing all the labor required, many
of them having perfected contracts
with laborers and made liberal ad-
vances. Little is said as yet regarding
reduced acreage another year, but it is
evident that not nearly SO much cotton
will be planted as this year A major
ity of the farmers of Sumter sold the
greater portion of their crop at salts
factory prices and will, therefore, begin
operations upon cash basis.

Mr.. William E. Mitchell, one Of
Sumter county's most extensive and
successful farmers, was in Americus
yesterday, and Ike others discussed
the cotton situation as to prices. Per-
sonally Mr.. Mitchell is not worried
over the price of cotton He made five
hundred bales this year, but las sold
every bale of his crop at prices rang
ing from 8 to L cents, only few bales of
late picking bringing the former figure.
Mr.. Mitchell says he makes it rule to
sell his cotton as he markets it, and the
fact that he is one of Sumter's wealth
lest planters proves that his is a good
one. Besides his 500 bales cotton, he
raised an abundant corn crop, $50
bushels wheat, and is now killing sixty
fine hogs for his meat supply And he
is going to operate his usual schedule
another year, and quite as successfully
as he does always.

Farmer Here viii Hold Present Crop

At one of the Americus warehouses
yesterday prosperous farmer of Sum-
ter unloaded the first installment Of a
hundred balee, the larger portion of
his crop, which be held for higher
prices. And he is still going to hold it
every bale-untii next fall, if neces-
sary. In talking about the matter he
said that he could not raise another
hundred bales at the price now offered,
and will keep what he has and grow
something else on his farm another
year. He is going in heavy on corn,
wheat, oats and other crops, and the
acreage deEoted to cotton will be'small
indeed. Other farmers here take the
same sensible view of the situation and
will hold their bales, planting less next
year.

A PALACE OF ART.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum a
UNIQUE Institution.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum q
Unique Institution.
< But where is the museum? For
it is the isabella Stewart Gard
ner museum in the Fenway says
Sylvester Baxter, in Century,
that visitors come TO see on the
public days, together with many
other works of art belonging to
Mrs. Gardner. 1t is everywhere
and nowhere. 1t is everywhere,
because the specific objects be-
longing to it are in no particular
part of the house, but are distrib-
uted all through it, with no mark
by which they can be identified.
1t is nowhere, in the sense that
the place as a whole is not a mu-
scum at all; that is, it is not an in
stitutiOn established to exhibit
works of art. When Mrs. Card
ner formed the purpose of sharI
ing with the general public, underl
certain limitations made neces-
sary by the circumstances, the en-,
jOyment of her collections in their
uniquely beautiful environment,
rather than limit that pleasure
to herself and her particular
friends, she had already paid
enormous duties for their impor-
tatiOn under our barbarOus tariff,
the aim of which seems to be to
exclude, so far as practicable, all
manner of refining and educative
influences for the establishment
of our life and the exaltatiOn of
our minds with the works of ar
tistic genius. But since the public
was to participate in their enjoy
ment, it seemed no more than
equitable that such works as
might thencefOrth be imported
should be admitted free Of duty
under the provisions of the law
that gives such privileges to in
cOrpOrated institutions of art.
Therefore, the museum was insti-
tuted, and a very small ! proper
= ton of the works comprised in the
collections were since imported in
accordance with the terms Of the
tariff. These could easily be
shown by themselves in m com
paratively small room. But il
seemed so much more fitting to
e give them the surroundings most
a suitable to their character that
they have been distributed
n through a greater number Of
/, the rooms. Therefore on the pub
lie days visitors have the priv
y ilege of seeing the better part o.
the beautiful house.

TOLEDO BLADES.
One of Lost Arts of Spain--Real Speci-
mems Very Valuable.


mems Very Valuable.
Toledo blades are still made in
the government weapon factory,
but those of modern construction
do not compare with the ancient
work. 1t seems to be a lost art.
The genuine Toledo blades, made
by the Moors, were so elastic and
tough that they could be curled up
like a watch spring, says the Chi
cago Record Herald. You could
see them in the aTmOry at Madrid,
but only ordinary swords and
bayonets for the Spanish army are
made there to-day. The secret
seems to have been forgotten. The
steel came from England. 1t is
the same as is used for ordinary
purposes, and, as in Japan, where
the art reached an equal degree OF
superiority, the difference in the
product lay in the skill of the ar
morer and the process he used.
In the secondhand shops at To
ledo and of the bric-a-br0c deal
ers you can buyold swords for rea-
sOnable prices; but genuine ones,
made before the sixteenth cen
fury, when the best were produced
and the art began to decline, are
very are and are promptly picked
up by connOisseurs whenever
they are offered. The names of the
old makers are as we'll known as,
those of the painters of great pic
lures, and a sword made by Nico-
las, or Dune, or Dion Isio or Cor
renties in the fourteenth and ff-
tenth centuries is worth several
times its weight in gold.
Each armorer of Toledo in an
Gent times, as in Japan, had his
cipher, which is to be found upon
his blades, and there was as much
rivalry among them as there is to-.
day among opera singers. Julien
del Rel, the most famous of the
Moorish swordmakers, always cut
the figure of a dog on the blades Of
his swords, near the hilt, and Nor
rillO, who was also famous, used q
wolf for his cOat-of-arms. The
swOrdmakers of Toledo had guild
for mutual protection, but they
worked separately. Each had his
own secrets for refining and tenn.
pering steel, which he concealed
from his rivals, but transmitted
to his children who Inherited thu
