ALMOST A MILLION is
THE GAIN IN SUMTER.
Increase in Returns is the
Largest Ever.

Sumter county is nearly one million
dollars richer this year than one yeal
ago, as shown by the property returns
made to the tax receivers office. This
gratifying announcement was made
yesterday by Tax Receiver w. r.
Speer.
The actual gain this year, over the
property returns of a year ago are
$Sl0,940. This is the greatest gain in
any year recently.
Last year-1909-th gain in values
was only $81, ,538-much under $780,
600.
But Sumter is rapidly growing richer
and greater, and this year scars away
from the 100000 class to near the
million dollar mark in gains.
This is the result of good roads and
enhanced farm values.
Every farm in Sumter doubled il
value this year.
According to the returns made this
year, Old Sumter is worth 1888 ,O0G

Just how many were for Hoke Smith

powers, and usually avail themselves
of every opportunity to hear him

porters of Mr.. Smith.

His speech was a reiteration of the
principles for which he has stood since
he first became candidate for gov

which engagement he was compelled
to cancel on account of illness.
