BOUGHT HIGHLAND
TRACT OF Mr.. COUNCIL
South CarOIinian Makes
Third Purchase.
Thinks Outlook for City
and County Best of
Them All.

The investment of South Carolina
money in Americus and Sumter coun-
ty real estate still continues When
ever a South Carolinian gets hold of
a good thing in dirt he Immediately
looks around for another opportunity
to make what he believes will be a
profitable investment, and if not ~
position to buy any fore himself di-
rects the attention of his friends to
What is offering.
Yesterday Mr.. B. F. Arthur, of I'm
ion, S. c., made his third purchase
here within a week. This time he
secured the remainder of the High.
lands tract, embracing some eighty
building lots already laid out on a
well prepared plan. They are bound
ed by the Seaboard, Elm avenue, How
~ard street and Glessner street, and
adjoin the Howard tract and the
Bahnsen tract, purchased last week
by Mr.. Arthur.
Mr. Arthur Is not yet ready to an
nounce what he is going to do with
the Highland tract and the other 62
acres purchased by him. He looks
on them as. good investments, though.
Mr.. Arthur is enthusiastic over Amer
icus and Sumter county and believes
no place has any greater future than
this if its people get to work in its
interest.
The South Caroinian returned TO
Union last night. He will be back in
few days. Perhaps some other Caro-
linians will be with him. 1t looks
very much like South Carolina pro-
poses to annex Americus and the re-
mainder of Sumter county within the
next year or two.

BIG FIRE IN COMPRESS
BURNS UP 400 BALES
Press and Contents Burn
at RiChIand.
Cotton and Sheds Lick
ed Up By Fire--Loss
About $4,000.

The cotton compress at Richland
tWenty-eight miles west of Americus
on the Seaboard railway, was burned
at an early hour yesterday morning
-Four hundred bales of cotton stored
in the press likewise went up in smoke
and the entire plant, except the ma
chinery, was destroyed.
News of the fire was communicated
to Americus early in the day, as par
ties here were interested therein.
The fire protection in the town was
wholly inadequate to cope with the
fire, especially after it reached the
400 bales of cotton, and the flames
quickly spread over the plant, making
of it fiery vortex.
The origin of the fire is supposed tC
have been accidental, probably re-
sulting from a.spark.
The cotton stored in the press was
said to have been fully insured. 1t is
not known what amount of insurance
was carried upon the building.
The Richland press was about twl
years old and was owned principally
by parties in that town, Columbus and
Lumpkin. The equipment of machin.
cry, it is said, was not very badly
damaged by the fire, and is probably
in condition to be used again.
The press was an Independent one
and not in the combine of the Atlantic
Compress Co., which controls nearly
all the cotton congresses in Georgia.

WILL BEGIN ON FRIDAY
IHE COUNT IN SUMTER
Census Force to Start on
That Date.

In Americus, on Friday morning
next, as throughout the country, the
nose counters will proceed to get
busy in census taking, and the twelve
able enumerators appointed for this
city and Sumter county will sally forth
with pencils poised and pads in hand
to do their duty.
AS stated already, four enumerators
will do the work in Americus, and
eight in the county outside, including
the smaller towns.
With Jackson street, north anC
south, as the dividing line, Mr.. J. R
Brstton will count the white residents
of the west side of town. North Of
Church and east of Jackson, Judge
Mott will preside. Mrs. Patterson
will have the Fourth ward, east o.
Jackson and south of Church.
The colored enumerators for these
wards, who will count the colorei
population only, have already been
mentioned.
Thus begins the taking of the thir-
teenth national census.
Uncle Sam estimates that he has a
family of 90,000,O0O men, women and
children, and he already has employ.
ed and will then put to work a great
body of enumerators considerably
larger than the standing army.
The law provides that the enumer-
alton shall begin on the 18th, but
it is not so peremptory about the
commencing as the closing time, and
intimations have been received that
in instances the work may be post
poned until Saturday This is due to
the fact that the 18th falls on FRI
day, and among the 10000 name TAX
ers there are some who are supersti-
tious as to this day
The enumeration will cover all Of
the forty-five states and two terrific
ries Of the union proper and also Ha-
waii and Porto Rico. Alaska, the PhiI-
ippines and Guam will not be included,
as special arrangements are made for
numbering the people of those deper-
denotes.
Under the statutes governing the
work, the entire enumeration must be
completed within a month, and in the
cities within fifteen days.

The east end of Forsyth street, at

Byne block property. This needed i'm
