VALUES WILL KEEP ON
MOVING UPWARD.
Lands in Sumter Increase
10 Per Gent. a Year.
Outlook is For Great
Progress Within the
Next Ten Years.

Comptroller General Wright has
directed attention 10 a fact alreaay
we'll appreciated In this immediate
section, but probably not as thorough
ly realized in other parts of Georgia.
or outside Of the state, and that is =
the rapid Increase IN the values of
farming a1tas tiuabers fands in this
state,
As a general rule the world LII
large is aware of the jump in value
of timbered lands during the past few
years, but It has not been so well in
formed as sto the upward trend OF
purely agricultural lands. In many
sections of the North the movement
of values of such lands has been
downward instead of upward. In no
part of Georgia has this been the
case Everywhere lands devoted 20
agricultural purposes have, been
steadily increasing in price, and In
some sections. more particularly in
Las been of a most pronounced char
acter. In Sumter county and some of
its .neighbors the increase in the past
six years has been equivalent to IN
annual increment of fifteen to thirty
per cent. AS Comptroller Wright we'll
says, farm lands in Georgia have been
a money making investment for their
holders.
Speaking of the existing condition
and the outlook. an experienced and
obseryant Amerlcus man yesterday
said:
THE era of advancing values is far
from being over. In fact 1t has just
begun All over South Georgia there
is land yet to be had at ten to twenty
dollars an acre that ten years from
now will be worth anywhere from $25
to $50 an acre. Here in Sumter
county lands that today are worth $40
to $40, decade hence will readily
bring $50 to SIS an acre.
"The building of good roads, the
Movement into the county of white
farmers, and the general improvement
of agricultural conditions Will fairly
double or treble values hereabouts
within a comparatively few years.
"There is no better investment than
a good piece of farming land In South
Georgia, and preferably in, Sumter
and some of its adjacent counties. The
man who puts his money in such an
investment will get a good return
every year from rentals, If he rents
the land out, or in crops If he plants
himself, and will have the additional
satisfaction of knowing that every
year the saleable value of the prop
erty is enhancing at highly profit
able rate of interest.
Considering the amount of money
Invested in small farm, nothing will
repay the owner better than such an
investment hereabouts The man
who secures q couple hundred acres
in Sumter county and works 1t prop
erly, will secure a good living, put
money in bank, and have his original
Investment practically doubled in ten
years. Is there anything else that Of
fers such fiattering inducements. in
which there is SO much actual inde-
pendence of life, and in which the
prospects of loss and bankruptcy are
reduced to so low minimum

AMONG THE FISHERMEN.
Has Been a Hard Season Along Eastern
Maine Coast.


The season has been a hard one for the
chief industry Of the shore towns of
eastern Maine. The lobster catch has
not been normal; line fishing has been
very Improbable, sardine business has
had an off year, and the scaled herring
or smoked herring business has not had
such low market for years as at the
present time. Smoked herring are on the
upward move, and by the advent of the
New Year prices promise to be much i'm
proved. The lobster catch is not counted
on to be large during the winter months,
but the prices promise to be higher than
last winter, so that the advance in price
is figured to Offset shrinkage in catch.
The sardine season is about at an end.
This branch of the fisheries is by far the
most important of all, and though year
OF confusion for the packers, the past
two weeks have developed great demand
for this class of goods. scores Of steamers
and auxiliary boats daily patrolling the
coast for this much-wanted specie of
herring.
Prices have advanced from So per hogs
head for the raw material. Large vessels
have been pressed into the service of
transporting these fish, and many thou
sands of barrels of fish have been trans
ported by the steamers of the Eastern
Steamship Co. from Portland to Eastport
and Lubec. Reports are current that
rates are being negotiated for by the
packers from the express companies to
enable the Gamers to transport sardine
herring from the western parts of the
State to eastern canning plants by ex-

The prisoner went along quietly until

upon the forehead. The claw part of
the hammer ripped through the flesh

wound. The officer drew his black
jack, closed upon the prisoner and
