OUR DAT FIELDS ADVERTISING
SUMTER.

Sumter county has recently had
another great advertisements. Tais
time it has been its great fields of oats
that have attracted attention and woa
favorable comment for it from one end
Of the state to the other. And the
advertisement is, in its way, just as
much an indication of the progressive
character Of the county as the many
columns that have been written about
sumter's good roads The oat fields
are an evidence to the world that
Sumter is not an all cotton county,
that its farmers believe in tie O.
vers. fcation of their crops, and the
world knowns that such county is
apt to be a more prosperous and a
more progressive county than the one
that stln adheres to the one crop
plan.
Last Monday the story of the oat
crop of Sumter appeared on the front
page Of the Atlanta Constitution, with
a large double column head. The
news editor of the Constitution, with
the true instinct for news that really
means something, served up the item
in most prominent position On the
same morning the Macon Telegraph
carried the oats crop story on its front
page, and its news editor, also i'm
pressed with its significance, put n
double column head, in striking type,
above. On the same day the Savannah
Morning News displayed the oats
crop OF Sumter with a large display
head. On Tuesday the Augusta Her
aid gave it a position of honor on its
editorial page, with a double column
heading. On the same day the Green
vile, s. c., Messenger also published
it, together wftb some other matter
furnished by Mr. Ebaugh, and made
t one of the news features of that
days paper. These five papers car
riei this important Sumter county
news item to nearly one hundred
thousand subscribers.
Here are five prominent Southern
dailies, on two days, making dis
tinctive feature OF a cry about one
of tie crops of Sumter county. From
the Times-Recorder, and from these
five other Southern dail'es, that news
item will be reproduced in many other
newspapers of this and other sections.
In all probability within the space oe
a fortnight half hundred dailies and
weeklies will direct attention to Sum
ter's oat crop and incidentally some
of them viii allude to its other won
derrul manifestations of progress as
an agricultural county in the front
rank among Southern counties that
are reaping the fruits of a spirit Of
enterprise.
This is the class Of news the Times
Recorder is seeking to publish This
is the class of news it is circulating
about Sumter county. During the past
year this paper has sent to other pa
pers and secured the publicatio n of
hundreds Of columns of news matter
telling of the development of this
county, Of its good roads work, of its
corn crop, of it's oats crop, of its to-
bacco crop, of its peach orchards, of
its syrup crop, of the influx of immi-
grants from South Carolina, Of thu
rapid advance in the value of its lands
Newspapers want this class of news
these days far more than they do the
stories Of petty crime and of nasts
scandal. The newspapers OF the
South, as never before N their history,
are awake to the advantages that re-

MAY REOPEN FLOUR MILL

A movement has been started
by local capitalists 10 to put the
old mill across the street from
the Hotel Oregon in operation.
The mill is in good condition and
can be put in first-class shape at
an expense of only a few hun.
dred dollars. According to A.
S. Hollen, who is an old milling
man himself, good money can be
made in this mill. At the pres
ent price of wheat, which is
about zoe per bushel, if the mill
were in operation it could be
made to save the public 1858
per barrel. The mill would give
employment to several men who
would make their homes here.
Mr.. Hollen presents US with the
following figures which show the
profit now being made by out
side capitalists:

is Zoe per bushel, 5bushel makes

LECTURE THURSDAY NIGHT

The lecture by the Rev. DR.. A.
Frank Ferris last night in the
Presbyterian church was charac-
terized by those who heard it rs
one of the greatest surprises or
revelations that has ever been
made in this citv regarding the
evidence possible to present con-
cerning the facts of the life of
Jesus Christ. He showed that it
was the most natural thing in
world that authentic pictures of
Christ should have been made as
the age in which He lived was a
great age of art and Jesus was
sufficiently prominent to assure
His picture being made. The
pictures of Christ have been pre-
served in the catacombs in Rome.
Already there is an effort being
made to have the lecturer re
turn to this city in the near flu
tnre. tits predicted that if he
returns, he viii be greeted by a
still larger crowd than heard him
last night, although the church
was well filled. -Pendletnn Tri-
bune, Jan. %, 1909.
