and they are the most easily grown
of any kind Of fruit as well as the
most hcalthful and delicious, and they
bear fun crop of fruit the next year

LOCAL TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS
Voters to Vote Upon Question at
County Election.

At the state and county election two
weeks hence the voters of Sumter will
vote for or against she constitutional
amendment relative to the local taxa
ton for schools. There IS some fear
on the part of the state school authori-
ties that the wording of the constitu-
tional amendment providing for local
taxation for school purposes as 1t APP
pears on the state ticket sent out by
Chairman NJ J, Yoemans will not be
understood. AS the statement appears
on the ticket the school authorities
fear that many voters will think it
means local taxation to be applied at
once in their own counties. Of course
this is incorrect The amendment
means simply that the constitution
shall be amended so as to permit local
taxation by a subsequent vote Of the
people in case they should want it.

FUNERAL STORY PROVED FAKE.
Burial of Rifles in Coffin Never Oc
cured

Several days ago the Times Recorder
published story circulated in Terrell
county of fake funeral there, wherein
the coffin buried with so much cere-
mony was filed with rifles instead of a
corpse. The story was told upon the
streets of Dawson as we'll as here in
Americas, and the Dawson News, being
upon the scene, set out to investigate
the affair with the result that the story
was found to be wholly untrue. Why
such fake, calculated to do so much
harm should have been mads out of the
whole cloth by people there is q myk-
terry, and the Times-Recorder is glad
to report the affair a fabrication in it's
entirety.

men
W. S. Morgan, the Webster county
citizen confined in the Americus Jail
for month past, is still in custody,
not having yet given the bond of $12,-
oC0 assessed by Judge Littlej ohn. AS
the date of Webster superior court is
very near at hand now Morgan may
not make bond at all but prefer to
await trial of his case. He was visi-
ted in Jail yesterday by relatives from
Webster county, with one or two of his
attorneys, with whom he was in long
consultation. As is we'll known, Mr..
Morgan is charged with alleged com
pliclty in the killing of the negro wit
ness, Joe Phillips, by Bill Ellis in
Webster county some time ago, it be-
Ing alleged that he hired Ellis to do
the deed. Ellis, who freely confesses
to the homicide, is also in the Ameri-
Gus Jail and will likewise be tried at
the October term of Webster court two
weeks hence.

further stated that there was nothing

the fact that the lowest or-com in the
