LARGEST DEAL In LANDS
YET MADE IN SUMTER
Ten Thousand Fin9 Acres
Bring $4,000

One hundred and fifty-seven thous.
and dollars-a princely fortune in it.
seIf-was paid yesterday for Sumter
county plantation situated eighteen
miles east of Americus And, as us
ual, South Carolina investors, who
fully appreciate the value Of good
lands, were the purchasers.
The Huguenin plantation, perhaps
the largest single body of cultivated
land in the state, will thus change
ownership.
The purchasers of this immense tract
of ten thousand acres at the round
price of $4,000 are Messrs. R. p.
Stackhouse, DR.. Wade Stackhouse,
and Mr. H. w. Malloy, the latter a re-
cent arrival from Columbia, S. C.
The purchasers are TO take imme-
diate possession of this princely do
main in Sumter county.
The sale was a bona ffde transac,
tion and not one of mere option for
speculative purposes, as are sometimes
reported here. The purchasers are
men of ample means, Mr.. r. p Stack
house having previously made in
vestments here in Americus and Sum
ter county aggregating near 100000
And in this latest deal, as in all
others, he will realize handsomely up
on his investment
Just what the purposes of the pur-
chasers is has not yet been announc-
ed, but the supposition is that the
immense tract of ten thousand acres
will eventually be divided into small
farms and thrown open to thrifty far
mers of this and other states who are
anxious to come here.
Such division would net the pur>
chasers a handsome profit upon their
present investment
The Huguenin plantation was settled
sixty years ago or longer, and is one
of the great cotton and grain produc-
ing farms of the South. 1t is located
along the west bank of the Flint
river and the Seaboard railway tray-
erses it from east to west for several
miles.
There is a station, 'Flintside," up
on the estate
This splendid sale yesterday was eR-
fected by the Southern Land Co., of
which recently has made
sales of farming lands here reaching
enormous figures.

SONS ROMANCE
Now Prince Arthur Of Con.
Raught is Losing Health

London, Feb. 28-Prince Arthur of
Connaughts health is causing anxiety
to his parents and friends. Although
only 2S years old, he is losing his hair
rapidly, his face is heavily lined and
he looks nearly 40. His manner has
become nervous and depressed. His
friends ascribe the symptoms to his
unhappy attachment to Lady Majorie
Manners, the Duke of Rutland's daugh-
ter. The match is strongly opposed by
King George, as it was by King Ed
ward, who cordially disliked the en-
tire Rutland family, more especially
the eccentric duchess, who develops a
craze for every new actress and dan
Ger appearing in London.
King Edward was furious when the
Duchess asked Queen Alexandra to
tea to meet Cavalieri, and more so
when Maude Allen was introduced at
another party. 1t was very noticeable
at the recent wedding of Lady Violet
Manners and Huga Charters that no
gifts We're sent by the king or queen
personally, and although numerous dis
tinguished personages were invited few
attended.
The Duchess of Rutland, would, of
course, dearly like to see her daughter
married to Prince Arthur, but even the
Duke of Connaught, who is not 50
strongly opposed to the match as the
king and queen, dares to run counter
10 the wishes of the sovereign. $50 there
is not the remotest possibility of the
carriage.

THE FEMALE STRANGER.
Who was the female stranger?

J. L. K.
The actual facts concerning the
Female Stranger" are as mysterious
as they were at the beginning Of the
last century. All that is actually
known concerning the woman buried
beneath the slab is inscribed upon
the same. The late William F. Carne
in his 'History Of the Female Strang-
err told all that ever will be known
in the matter. OF course, his book is
not history, nor was it intended TO be.
He merely based his fascinating story
upon the mysterious point, as also did
another. author on tomb in Trinity
Church yard. New York, under which
a young woman named Charlotte
Temple is supposed to have been
buried. The story portrays the sad
experience of an English girl who
was betrayed and left to die in a
strange land. 1t has recently been
shown that the grave SO often visited
by the curious, is not that of Charlotte
Temple, and that the people have
been buncoed for nearly century.

A TERRRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Beating" her way In mems cloth
ing across the continent for love Of
the man she married four months ago,
and barred from any friendship with
her own sex. Mrs. Christine McWil-
liams, twenty years old rode into
Buffalo early yesterday on the blind
baggage" of a Lake Shore express
from Cleveland with her husband.
Then she was hauled from the
bumper Of the first car, where she
had been asleep in the arms Of "Cass'
McWilliams, who tried TO keep his girl
wife and himself out Of sight when
the railroad detectives came on them.
Coated with ice and exhausted,
they were taken from their precarious
position by the trainmen and carried
to flag shanty.
The story of the young couple is
touching.
Married four months ago in Los
Angeles to Christine Jamison, pretty
schoolteacher. McWilliams had a good
job as structural steel worker. Then
came the laying off of workmen,
among them McWilliams. He decided
to strike for New York. But the
small amount of money which stood
between Mr.. and Mrs. McWilliams
and starvation was out of the question
| for transportation.
1t was the girl who suggested 9
method of travel Of which she had
read, and she .,nnally persuaded the
reluctant husband to fit her out in
some Of his clothes, and together they
started on the journey acrfoss the
continent. After much suffering in
beating rides across the continent
they endured more on the last JUMP
than on all the rest. The cold was
biting, the snow, through which the
train was tearing at a sixty-mile gait
cut their faces, and their hands were
frozen to the iron rod to which they
chung for life. The suffering man an6
woman were soaked to the skin By
water from the tender, and theil
clothes froZe.
