SUMTER LOOKS

Messrs. F. A. Kirschman and J. D.

prospecting here and in the country
round about with viey to locating
Both gentlemen have pretty well
covered the county, driving in differ
ent directions, visiting the fruit farms,
the cotton plantations, and otherwise
making themselves acquainted with
agricultural Sumter
I'VE are delighted with this section
of the country" said Mr. Kirschman
yesterday to Times-Recorder repre-
sentative. ''We have seen a great
deal of the United States but have
found very few counties that com
pare with Sumter. While we have
made no definite arrangements for
the future we can say that we have
been very favorably impressed with
what we have seen 1t is apparent
to anyone that this section has, a
wonderful future, and that it's present
healthful condition is but an indica-
ton of the greater prosperity that is
ahead for it. No one could make a
mistake in locating here.'

BLIND TOM OF GEORGIA
DEAD IN new YORK
Pianist Known in AmeriCuS
Very Well.

Americus people read with inter
est the press dispatch from New York
yesterday announcing the death there
on Sunday of old Blind Tom" the
world-renowned pianist. For years
poor old Tom had been living in OBJ
scurity there, and despite the fact
that he had made vast fortunes for
his masters by his wonderful powers
of piano playing, he died an object OF
charity Blind Tom was owned in
slavery days by a citizen of Americus
and older residents remember him
very we'll He was born in 1850 near
Columbus In early childhood, Tom
who was born entirely blind, and
more than haf idiotic, showed himself
remarkably initiative, frequently
stealing into the house of his master
to reproduce on the piano forte
pieces he had heard played by Others
In 1861 he became so proficient on
the instrument that he was
taken to New York City as
a phenomenon and later was widely
heard in the United States and Eu-
rope.

PRICES ARE BETTER IN

Since Market of North is
GIutted.

Yesterdays express carried hun
dreds of crates of peaches from Am
ericus to the smaller cities in this and
neighboring states, where probably
better prices will be realized than
in New York, where there is a glut
of Georgia peaches. Shipments from
Americus yesterday included Bruins
wick, Thomasville, Savannah Mobile,
Jacksonville, Tampa and dozen
of the smaller Florida towns, where
peaches do not grow. Heretofore a
rush has been made to New York
while other points were more or less
neglected. In shipping to points
nearer home the transportation char
ges are probably less, while the re-
turns will doubtless prove more sat

TO WOODMEN:: love
THE BROTHERHOOD''
Sermon to Order by Rev.
R. |. BivinS.

Basing his sermon on the words
Love the Brotherhood" Rev. R. L.
Bivins Sunday morning preached to
the WOodmen of the World, as had
been announced. The members of the
Order were on hand in force, having
marched from their lodge room to the
FurloW Lawn Baptist church. The
attendance on the service was large.
In referring to the Woodmen of the
World, the speaker stated that the
order had been founded in 1890, and
that it had met with a remarkable
growth. At the present time it had
membership of over 100000, with
auXiliaries increasing these figures
fifty per cent
Brotherly love was the thread which
ran through the discourse and many
lessons were drawn for the benefit
of the members of the Order and
for others as we'll From the life
insurance feature of the Order the
lesson was drawn that the soul
should be insured as well, this being

Is HOLDING ills BALES

This Farmer Has Berth on
Gravy Train.

Carefully slowed away in the Har-
rold Bros, Warehouse here are $50
bales cotton of choice grade, which
will be sold when the fortunate Ow-
ner feels so disposed, and not before.
In fact, he may hold it a year or
two if the fancy strikes him. This
lot of 18O bales, representing snug
fortune, belongs to Col. w. P. lowers
who, as is we'll known, never gets
in a hurry about selling his cotton
crop. This represents his last years
crop not a bale of which has gone
to the buyer Last summer he sold
two entire crops of 300 bales at one
sale just as the market reached the
pinnable of summer prices, and may
do likewise with the last crop of 18O
bales unless he decides to hold it for
a year or two longer, as he is amply
able to do.

IN MEMORY OF
SOVEREIGN LOWE
Monument Unveiled by ".
@. ". Sunday.

Solemn ceremonies were observed
at the unyeiling of a monument to
the memory of Sovereign Clifford
Holmes Lowe, by the Woodmen of
the World Sunday afternoon at the
cemetery. Camp No. 202, of which
Mr.. Lowe was an honored member.
turned out almost unanimously to
pay their last tribute of respect to
the departed brother. in the presence
of a large assemblage of his friends
The address was delivered by Mr..
w. w. Dykes, the talk, though short,
being an eloquent one, paying a
high tribute to the life and character
of the deceased.
Mr. Dykes said in part:
We are met to perform a duty in
which the best inspirations of man
are given sway, and for awhile ev-
erything selfish is dormant
AS Woodman | never knew the
brother, the memory of whom we
pay tribute to on this occasion, but
as a man and friend | knew him
we'll. 1t was my good fortune on
few occasions to be thrown with him,
when circumstances concerning his
then condition were such as to show
either moral coward or a true
man, and to say that he showed the
truest and most sincere instincts of a
man, but mildly expresses the man
hood and true character of our la
mented brother.
Enough to say in this presence, of
his many beautiful characteristics is
that he was w, o. w. No man can
take the vows of WOodman without
being inspired to do nobler and better
things, nor can he live up to them
without making the world happier for
his living.
AT the age of 26, in the bloom of
youthful manhood, as he was reach
ing out into the unknown future,
with all the hope and encouragement
that mans environments could
hold out to him, and at his side an
ever ready and loving companion, to
comfort him in his sorrows and re-
joice with him in his victories, Cliff
ford Holmes Lowe fell asleep, and
beneath this stone, in the arms of the
Great Mother of us all he was laid,
to rest in pleasant dreams.
Good night, dear brother, good
night, until some golden day by the
still waters We shall meet again, when
the joyous greetings shall be an
everlasting good morning"

Monday following will be observed is
for the merchants to determine among
themselves. The Fourth falls upon
