COOL QUARTER MILLION
TO BF PAID OUT
Closing Up Land Deals
Around AmeriCuS.
VIII Help Ease Fl
nancial Situation This
Fall and Winter a
Great Deal.

A cool quarter Of a million dollars
it is stated is to come into sumte.
county pockets during the next ninety
days in payment of the lands sold Il
South Carolinians during Tie pasl
few months.
That is the statement made by To-
cal banker. through whose bank aIone
closely approaching 100000 is to be
paid in settlement Of land deals, tae
papers on which mature this fa1l.
Ordinarily l would say that tie
prospects were that money would be
tight with US for the next three Or
tour months, said the banker il
question, but from what I know per
sonally. and what learn from Other
sources, l am of the opinion that no.
less tan $25o.OO0 is to come to Ameri-
us or Sumter county. in payment Of
land deals, between now and the clos
Of the year. This money takes up pa
pers given in payment Of lands. Or
completes negotiations on which lib
eral options have been paid
HThere are three transactions
,now of, continued the banker, "in
which approaching 100000 is in
olved that are to be settled up t&.A
all, no information of which has yet
)een given to the public. although tn
'arties are al responsible. Three
arge plantations are involved in thes.
nree deals. These payments, .and
'ther similar payments, SHOULD fiji the

seing and help 10 ease up the fnancia.

ANERICUS is BAKED BY
SUN OF StPIEMBI R
Tuesday The Hottest of
Fall Month.

Americus fairly baked, fried ana
sizzie1 beneath the pityless rays of a
fierce September sun, and while the
record may show July days Of higher
temperature it was the opinion of all
tlat yesterday was about the most
feryently sweltry day of the late SUM
mer season.
At the Harold building, where tn d
pulse of the weather is felt daily, tie
temperature stood at SO degrees at 3
in the afternoon.
There was no breeze, and the per-
spring populace cooked and cussed
by fitful turns; that is, the male ele-
ment did, while others silently voiced
the same sentiment.
The effect Of such intense heat up-
on tie cotton fields and crops gen,
orally is disastrous and viii further
curtail an already alarminglys short
cotton crop. The plant cannot take on
new fruit under such adverse cond;-
tions, and will shed a good part OF
the squares and bolls now carried.
Here in the city the heat is more
keenly felt than at any time during
the summer. There is less sickness
however, than ever known before at
this period.
