HANDSOMEST PIANO IN AMERICAS
Purchased By Mr.. J. W. HightOWer
Yesterday.

I By far the handsomest piano ever
ordered in Americas was the "Krell
Auto Grand" purchased yesterday by
Mr.. ]. w. Hightower as a gift for
his wife. The instrument, of hand
some antique mahogany, was pur-
chased through the Krell agency
here, represented for many years
by Prof l.. D. Lockhart, and was
built especially to conform with the
mahogany furnishings of the High
tower home. ! 1t possesses all of the
1907 improvements in piano manu-
facture, and is of superb tone and
artistic finish. The instrument cost
one thousand dollars and would rich
ly ornament any palatial home in
the South, the realm of refinement,
and artistic perfection in music and
in art

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted linn
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between 80
and GO; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Ditters,
the scientific tonic medicine that revi-
talizes every organ of the body. Guar

COMMIssIONLIsTs TO COMPLAINTS
OF Atlanta Freight Bureau as to
Demurrage.

ATLANTA, August THE railroad
Commission was in session today, and
among other matters heard at great
length the complaint of the Atlanta
Freight Bureau about the violation
of rule by the Central of Georgia
and other railroads. This rule re-
quires all roads to attach to bill of
lading certificate of the weight of
goods shipped.
1t has been suggester to the com
ten cents per car, per day, demurrage,
rules so that the roalroads of the
state shall be allowed to charge only
ten cents per car, per day, demurragt,
in place of present charge of 81. The
railroads have refused to heed the
law, which requires them to pay the
shipper demurrage when they fail
to furnish cars, and it is suggested
that they ought to be made to feed
out of the same trough

LINEUP At POLLS A
WEEK F ROM TODAY
Voters Of Sumter to Decide
Issue
COUNTY BONDS FOR IMPROVEMENT
The Election on Thursday, 18th, will
be Important 0ne..VOterS Will
Surely IndOrSe the Bond
Measure.

Next Thursday, one week from to-
day, the voters of Sumter will pass
upon the question of a bond issue
for needed public improvements of
the county and the building of the
Third District Agricultural College,
now nearing completion.
This election will be the most i'm
portant, perhaps, that has ever
been held in the county.
The grand jury, in its wisdom,
recommended the bond issue, and
the county commissioners, all sub
stantial farmers and men of affairs,
have acted upon that recommends
ton and now put it up to thevoters.
And every voter and property
owner in the county should recog-
nize the wisdom and economy of
the plan thus proposed for raising
the revenue needed for improve
ments.
1t is far preferable to higher di-
rect taxation.
The bonds extend over longperi-
cd of years and the interest rate is
so low as not to be burden to any
one In fact, the increase in tax
alton under a bond proposition will
scarcely be known at all
The proposition has been fully set
forth and explained time and again
by the Times-Recorder, which feels
assured that the interests of the
county will be far best subserved by
an issue of bonds than by direct tax
alton otherwise.
Will not the voters of Sumter
take the same view of it; a practi-
cal, commonsense view.
Of the amount of bonds to be is
sued-$100, 000-half will be expended
upon the improvement of the public
roads of the county, while the re-
naming half will defray the cost of
the Third District Agricultural Col
lege, a debt already incurred by the
county.
The issue will be decided at the
polls next Thursday, 18th, and the
Times Recorder feels sure that the
voters of Sumter will heartily sup
port the bond measure.

MAY PROSECUTE HARTMAN
Attorney General Plans TO Shorten
Vacation After Considering Case.

WASHINGTON, D. G., August T.
Attorney General Bonaparte has mott
fed his subordinates here that he
will shorten his vacation and return
to this city next week. During his
brief outing at LenoX, Mass, he has
been giving personal attention to the
report submitted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the var
ious financial transactions of E. H.
Hartman, and many leading officials
in his department believe the early
return of Attorney General Bonaparte
presages the criminal prosecution of
Hartman
They entertain the opinion that the
manner in which the Standard Oil re-
bate case at Chicago has been handled
by Judge Lands points out a way by
which Hartman may be reached

STILL BORING AT GREAT DEPTH
ArteSian Well is Near the 1000
Foot Depth.

The contractors boring the arte-
sian well at the Americas reservoir
are making good progress. The
stream struck two weeks ago, while a
flowing one, was passed by, as the
flow was not sufficient. The well has
now reached depth of nearly $50
feet, and yesterday the drill was
churning through a deposit of black
slate, or mari. Nearly a thousand
feet into the depths of the earth, a
fine flowing stream will certainly be
penetrated ere long.
