S25,OOO is PRICE PAID
FOR FARM IN SUMTER.
Oliver Place, Near Plains,
Brings Price.

Twenty-Five thousas dollars was
the round price paid yesterday for
the R. l.. Oliver farm of SGT acres
lying in Sumter county, ten miles
west Of Americus and south of Plains.
The purchaser is Mr.. 7. NJ Lowery,
mayor of Seneca, S. c., and a promi-
nent citizen of that state.
Mr.. Lowery has spent several days
here looking owe the fine farm lands
of Sumter, and is delighted with this
section.
In fac5, SO we'll pleased is he that
he announces his intention Of remov-
ing shortly to Sumter county and re-
siding here permanently upon the
beautiful farm just acquired at the
price of $4,000.
TIE sale of this fine property was
made through Mr. Frank ]. Payne,
real estate agent here, who also sold
to Mr.. B. T. Neaves Of Greenville, S.
G. a farm of $50 acres in Dougnerty
county situated within three miles Of
Albany. This farm of $50 acres sold
for only $4,000.
Sumter's good roads enhance the
value of farm lands here. Newcom-
ers say as much, and comparison of
prices proves it.
Farm lands in Sumter, twelve miles
from Americas, sell readily for $50
to $40 per acre, while thousands OF
acres highly improved lands would
readily sell for $50 per acre, or even
more, if offered for sale. Many such
farms are not to be had here even
at such prices.
The magnificent roads traversing
Sumter county in every direction have
thus enhanced values and resulted il
the sale recently of farms aggregat-
ing in value more than half million
dollars

BLOOD IN BUENA VISTA
A Scene OF TRAGEDY.
Three Bad Affairs Take
Place There.
Negro Kills Two Wo-
men---Will Turner
Stabs Cousin.

Marion county was all stirred up
yesterday over the killing of three ne
groes and a murderous assault on a
well known white citizen that promis-
ed to result in his death.
Three distinct tragedies marked
Sunday and Monday in the vicinity of
Buena Vista.
At Brantley one negro killed
another. This grew out of a Saturday
night frolic and was the minor of
the three tragedies.
The affair that aroused the most
intense excitement was the literal
carving up of Mr.. I. W. Turner, a
well known prosperous farmer living
about five miles from Buena Vista, by
his cousin, Will Turner.
From the information brought to
Americus last night by parties di-
rect from the scene, it appears that
Will Turner lived on the place with
his cousin. They had some misunder-
standing on Sunday about the amount
of provisions that Will Turner WAS
entitled to.
Yesterday morning while I. w.
Turner was at work in the field Will
Turner came up and renewed the
discussion, resulting in his making
frightful assault upon his cousin with
a sharp knife after knocking him to
the ground. Will Turner, who was a
much younger and much stronger
man than |. W., was literally slashing
the latter to pieces, when Mrs. /. w.
Turner, was drawn to the scene by
the cries of her little boy who had
gone to the field with his father. AS
she approached Will Turner threat
ened to kill her if she interfered and
continued to cash his victim.
The screams of hte wife and son
then drew a daughter to the scene
with a gun. Seeing her coming with
a weapon Will Turner cut |. w. Tu~>
ner couple of more times and fled.
BY the time a doctor could be Sc
cured I. W. Turner was almost dead
from loss of blood 1t was doubt
full if he would survive. A posse oe
citizens was formed and went IN
search of the assailc2--::tt
While Buena Vista was all stirred
up by the news of this crime, added
to the report of the negro killing,
news came of another tragedy in
which negro had killed two women
Jim Holland, negro living on the
Statham place, between DranevilIe
and Friendship, had killed his wift
and her mother. He then barricaded
himself in cabin and threatened 20
kill any one who approached.
A possee was sent out after him
with the determination to take him
dead or alive.

Editors Calm in Liquor Row.

A special from Montgomery City, a
few days since, stated that both sides
in the campaign for statewide prohi-
bition are trying to get the country
press to line up for battle.
The Missouri country editors are
asked to devote their news and edi-
torial columns to the issues in the
campaign without any remuneration.
The temperance peaple ask the edi-
tors to use such matter as may be fur
nished through the county organiza-
ton or the w. C. T. U. The vets,
through the Iowa Law Enforcement
League, ask that plate matter be used
by the country editors, which will be
sent free of charge, express prepaid.
The editors in this part Of Missouri
say they will act independently, and
if either side desires space they must
show some willingness to pay.
And that is the proper position.
Speakers, lecturers and all others I'M
der such circumstances are paid for
their services, then why not the pub
Usher, who must meet his pay roll
every Saturday night? Why should
he be expected to fight the battle Of
this side or the other, shoulder his
own losses and settle his own ex-
penses when he may not agree in his
mind or his conscience with either
side?
The proper thing for the country
paper is to give a synopsis Of the
movement and action of both sides,
as this is news; but when it comes to
publishing columns of opinions, that
is advertising. Rich Hill Review.

And, with a Democratic executive
Missouri would also have been repre-
scented at the Seattle exposition.
Much more could be added to what
has been enumerated, but the show
ing is so pregnant with the the spirit
of progress and administrative ability
that it should command the approval
of the bitterest political partisan.
Even the most partisan Republican
boasts of the greatness of Missouri in
all that goes to make up magnifi-
cent commonwealth. Who made it
so? The answer is written on every
page of the states history in big let

DAVID BREWER DEAD.
The End Came Suddenly to the
Supreme Court Justice in
His Washington Home.

Washington, March 28.-David
Josiah Brewer, associate justice Of
the Supreme Court of the United
States, died tonight at 1890 O'Clock
as the result of a stroke of apoplexy.

two, before he could be carried to his
bed. Mrs. Brewer was with him
when the end came. Judge Brewer
was 70 years Of age.
Justice Brewer came to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
from the federal court in Kansas. He
was the second oldest member of the
court, Justice Harlan only being his
senior. He was regarded as the most
democratic of all the members of the
court, most affable, approachable and
accommodating.
