NEGRO CUTTING AFFRAY

Pratt City. January 1S-(Specia1) )-There was quite large amount of money cir euating last night it being payday at the different mines of the Tennessee com pany. All the merchants appeared to be doing good business, and state that while things seem quiet during the week there Is a deal more business than Is apparent offhand; that good, large accounts are made during the weeks between paydays, and they report collections as good.
 The real estate men say they cannot begin to satisfy the demands for houses.

Board of Education to Meet.

The members of the board of education will meet in the city hall Monday night and will discuss plans for establishing a school in Tuxedo. The establishing of this school will do much toward relieving the congested condition now existing in both the white schools. The applications for entrance are coming in daily, and the school has just received and put in ninety six new single desks, which is the third order that they have found 1t necessary to place this session.
 Prof. T. R. Walker, superintendent of the public school, wants the attention of the parents who have children at the right age for first entrance, that in the school year there are two sessions, and first year pupils can only enter at the beginning of one of these sessions. Older pupils for other grades can, of course, enter at any time during the school year. The first session closes January IS, and parents wishing to enter children can do so Monday, January 21, which is the beginning of the new session.
 At the board meeting Monday night the election of teachers for the new school will probably be taken up.

Contract Labor Law.

''5 I expect to try to frame contract labor law which will better protect our farmers and others who employ labor by the month or year or who enter into croppers contracts with people who have no responsibility and who under our present laws leave our farmers in the greatest need and often largely indebted to him.
 ''6. A bill to make the back tax law work equally and uniformally in each county of the state. Tn some counties of entitled to receive them within twelve ever been appointed and this is an in- justice to those counties which are hon estly trying to bear their proportionate share of the burdens of the state gov ernment In case no one from those counties can be found who will serve them the governor should turn all this class of counties over to some special officer who shall undertake to bring these counties up to the just measure of their duty My observation is that most. people do not object as much to the arbitrary amount of their taxes, but to the lack of uniformity in the assess ment of taxes. This applies well to whole county as it does to the citizens of a particular county. There has always been dissatisfaction in the administration of the tax laws since the days of the Publicans and doubtless there always
 
 mate to a better and more equalized sys- tenn. I have often heard men complain not of the amount of their own taxes so much as the fact that his neighbor got off with so much less than he should have paid.
 Better Mine Protection. 1T l favor laws giving better protection to the lives of the large and growing number of our people who engage in the mining of coal We have too long ne- glected them and while I do not wish to see the operators discouraged. or hinder the development of our marvellous coal deposits, still we must remember that there is a human element in the propo- sition and properly protect the men who daily take their lives into their own hands in going down into the bowels of the earth. Several notable disasters ia the past few years would probably not have happened if proper laws had ex- isfed or been enforced If is just as im- portant to protect the lives of coal miners who are mostly men of families as it is to take care that children's minds and bodies be not dwarfed by allowing them to work in cotton mills at too tender m age.

Contract has been made with Seiz
& Co, to complete the building for
the Americus National Bank, and the
work will now proceed at new
pace. This company, which is also
erecting the Y. M. G. A. building, will
complete the work of overhauling the
Allen House building and that of the
bank, and will push it to completion
as rapidly as the nature of the work
will permit. This company will
erect the massive vault and also lay
the tiled marble floor, and will pro-
badly complete the building in time
for occupancy shortly after the holi-
days. The front of the bank build
ing will be made most attractive,
while its interior fittings and furni-
ture, all in plate glass and mahogany,
will be as handsome as that of any
bank in the state and model OF
convenience withal.

The Price a Fortune

Sixty thousand dollars was the
consideration for this splendid pro-
perty, a fortune in itself.
The plantation was purchased from
Minnesota people, who have owned
it for a number of years, and it is
the purpose of the new owners to
subdivide the farming lands into
small farms of ten to one hundred
acres, or more.
An engineer will shortly prepare
a detailed map of the plantation, and
when this is accomplished investors
can select any lands desired.
1t is the purpose of Messrs. Ry-
lander and Sheffield to sell the entire
plantation in this manner, as we'll as

Small Farms i'm Demand

From every possible viewpoint, this
location is most desirable as a place
of residence or investment, and lands
will enhance very rapidly in value.
1t is a recognized fact that farm
ing lands and well situated town
property afford the safest investment
for capital, and gives best returns
A farm even rented is a good invest-
ment, but a better one if worked by
the owner.
And small farms are greatly in
demand in Sumter. In fact, the de-
mand far exceeds the supply, and
it was largely to meet this situation
that induced Messrs, Rylander and
Sheffield to purchase this magnificent
plantation for subdivision.
