HIGH-PRICED PROSPERITY.

Judge Gary, who is lead of the
great steel trust, is endeavorng 20
convince tile people that the increased
cost of living is a great blessing In
Chicago a few days ago he gave out
an interview in which he said, we
are now in the center Of one of the
greatest harYests of prosperity the
country has ever witnessed, and the
future is bright for a continuance of
good tines" He attributes this Won
derful prosperity to the high prices
and increased cost of living against
which the general public is kickine
rather yiciously
Commodities are going upward, "
he says, materials are higher and
wages are advanc ne at a fair rate.
This means more money for the but
cher, baker and others who provide
for the home. And it is not only just
and proper, but will make for bet
ter general result all over the coun-
try The great harvest of pros
perity" which is being gathered by the
steel trust and other tariff-fattened
combines is a good thing for them and
so it is, but it IS not good for many
millions of tradesmen, professional
men, clerks, teachers, mechanics and
laborers AS a matter Of fact, it is a
very bad thing for those whose sala-
ries and wages do not keep pace with
the increased cost of living.
Everybody. according to Judge
Gary's view, should be satisfied, but
they are not The high-prced pros
perity from which the protected COM
bines are reaping a fat harvest is q
terrible burden on the people, and
they may take it into their fool heads
next November to consign to peliti-
cal oblivion the men responsible for
the Ubiquitous tariff law and Judge
Gary's riotous prosperity.

A DAY IN JUNE.
CJames Russell Lowell)

(James Russell LOWellD
No price is set on the lavish summer;
June may be had by the poorest cor
ner,
And what is so rare as day in Junef
Ttan if ever, come perfect days;
Them Heaven tr es the earth if it be
in tune,
And over it softly her warm earlays.
Whether we look, or whether we
listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it
glisten;
Every cIod feels a stir of might,
And instinct without that reaches and
And, cropping blindly above it for
light.
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers !;
The flash of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadows
green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its
chalice,
And there's never a leaf or blade
too mean
To be some Happy creatures palace.
The little bird sits at his door in the
SUM-
He sings to the wide world and she
to her nest
In the nice ear of nature which
song is the best?

POLICE SHOULD HANDLE THESE
FRAUDS.

There is not week, from the be-
ginning to the end of the year when
one or more able bodied men or wo-
men do not strike Americas on a
begging expedition Coming from
where no one knows, going hence to
an equally unknown point; with no
credentials except their nerve, they
circulate through the city, showing a
card under everyone's nose and sole
iting funds for this or that alleged
rescue work, or society for the ameI-
ioration of the poor, or some sup
posed-to-be foreign work 1t is a safe
assertion that the vast majority of
these wandering solicitors are graft
ers, that Their so called charities do
not exist, or exist solely for the pur-
pose of grating on the public They
get in enough day after day to live
easy. and that is the chief purpose Of
their travels. They are the benefic-
iaries of their own work, and the
money given to them is for their own
private purposes. That is about the
truth in the vast bulk of instances.

SMALL FARMS WANTED FOR
PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS

Americas and Sumter county need al
syndicate just now to buy a large
tract of land, we'll adapted for agri-
culture, and divide it into farms of so
to 2aO acres.
There is a demand for such farms
in this county. Several parties have
written asking for information rela-
tive to farms of such area. Many 9th
er will do likewise.
There are many hard working, ex-
perieneed, ambitious men, with
limited means, who would be eager 70
get a small farm in a county like
this.
The continued advert sing of the OPP
portmiteis offered here will bring the
attention of more and more of this
class upon Sumter county. More and
more of them will be making inu-
quiries for such farms.
Why not provide for wants of this
class? They make fine citizens They
and their families VII be a welcome
addition to the white population of
the county. They will work their
farms along intensive lines, getting
everything possible out Of them.
One man who was in Americas the
other day, and who, if he returns, will
be seek ng such a small farm, last
year made forty bales of cotton on
twenty acres of ground.
Isn't such citizen a desirable adj
dit'on to the population? And sup
pose We could bring in one or two
hundred of such men with their fam
lilies and locate them close together.
Would earth have any fairer garden
spot than they would make of it?
This is one of the genuine needs Of
the county, the formation of a syn
dicate, or the coming together of two
or three men of ample means, to bay
several thousand acres and split it up
into small farms to be eo'd only to
white men, to those whJ viii actually
settle on the land with their families.
Such an investment would be
highly profitable to the parties en-
cheering it. 1t would also be pro-
ductve of great good to the county. I'll
5000 acres were divided up in fifty
small farms It is pretty safe to say
that within one or two years there
would be fifty white farmers living on
it and the county would be greatly
enriched and the business of the city
advanced.
There is a really genuine oppor-
tnnity here for some citizens to do ;
good turn for Sumter county and
and put money in their own
pockets at the same time.
Let t be known that such small
desirable farms are to be had, follow
up the Board of Trade advertising
With the announcement that farms Of
20 to 200 acres, all taken from one
desirable large tract, are now await
ng actual settlers, and the settlers
will come. They simply couldn't ne
Kept away.
VIII not some of our men of enter
Prise and money take hold of this OPP
'ortunity and work it for their own
benefit and the benefit of the city and
county?
