$4,000 The PRICE PAID
FOR HOME In AMERICAS
Former 7. WhCatIGy Home
Brings Round Price

Fifteen thousand dollars was the
in the sale yesterday 0i
the former Thornton Wheatley resi-
dence on Lamar street; an interesting
fact, inasmuch as no other residence
property ever sold in Americas
brought this figure which, it would
seem, establishes new level of val
ues.
The same property was sold year
or two ago at $4,000.
An increase of fifty per cent in val
ne within little more than year, and
bought this time, it is said, largely rs
an investment.
Mr. T. M. Lowrey, mayor OF Seneca,
s. c., fancied the old Wheatley home
and purchased it in the early summer
of last year for 100000 Even at that
time it was considered a record price,
and people, therefore, were not a lit
tie surprised when they learned yes
terday of the sale of the property
again at $4,000.
AS a comparison of values, the L. D.
Harold residence on Lee street
brought $4,000 when sold; the G. w.
Glover residence $4,000 on the first
sale and $1,000 soon thereafter, while
the handsome S. H. Hawkins residence
now owned by Colonel Stackhouse,
was sold for $4,000.
The purchaser of the Wheatley prop
erty yesterday is Mr. r. H. Jordan,
wealthy citizen of Spartanburg, S.
c" and who recently has made other
large investments here. Mr.. Jordan
will occupy his property in January
next Mir. Lowrey retaining possession
antiI that time.
If you doubt the value of Americas
realty, try to buy some of it.

DELAY In BUILDING The
BRIDGE ON LEE STREET
Early Start Will Be Made
However

The work of building the substantial
concrete bridge on Lee street, which
the Seaboard Railway will construct
over its tracks there, has not been
launched yet. although it will be but
q matter of short time before a start
is made. This reinforced concrete
lIidge probably forty feet in width,

en- structure that has been there FIR
many years and a ramshackle old
structure withal. The Seaboard has
completed the Barlow street bridge,
and when start on Lee street bridge
is made all traffic will go via College
and Brannan avenue for two or three
months, or until it is completed.

FOR PROHIBITION Fight
So Declares Dublin Pastor
and Church

Dublin, Ga, August 28.-Last night
the congregation of the Dublin Meth
odist church, after hearing a strong
sermon from DR.. A. NJ. Williams, IN
which he severely took Judge R. 3.
Russell to task for bringing the pro-
hibition question into personal poll
tics and asserting that prohibition IS
a failure, unanimously passed the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were intro
duced by DR.. o. G. Mingledorff:
Whereas the sale of near-beer has
been an unqualified curse to the state
of Georgia, being bad in itself and
being used as a blind to cover the
traffic in real beer and practically all
other intoxicating liquors; and,
Whereas, the Tippens bill, which
was before the Legislature during IT'S
recent session, was intended to stop
the sale of near-beer; be it
Resolved by the congregation OI
the Dublin Methodist church, That We
deprecate the fact that the said Tip
pins bill was not enacted into law;
that in our judgment the welfare OF
our state demanded the passage of
this bill Be it
Resolved secondly, That we, as a
congregation, indorse and commend

stand for the passage of said bill.
Resolved, thirdly That we, the
Dublin Methodist church, indorse this
fight that our pastor is making against
intemperance and against the viola
ton of our state prohibition law and
that we gladly throw the weight Of
our influence agains the whole traffic
in alcoholic liquors"

good story: "A vicar was taken sud-
denly i'll, and his church warden was
in great difficulty about getting a sub
stitute, when the bishop of the dioces,
hearing of the circumstances, offered
to take the Sunday services himself.
The church warden, wishing to do the
right thing, at the close OF the service
went up to the bishop and, after thank
ing him stammered out: A poorer
preacher would have done for us, your
lordship, but We were unable to find
one!"-London Globe.

:
How happy is he born and taught
That serveth not another's will;
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill.
Whose passions not his masters are;
Whose soul is still prepared for
death
United unto the world by care
OF public fame or private breath;
Who envies none that chance doth
raise,
Nor vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given by
praise
Nor rules of state, but rules Of good;
Who hath his life from rumors freed;
Whose conscience is his strong re-
treat;
Whose state can neither f1atters feed,
Nor ruin make Oppressors great;
Who God doth late and early pray
More of His grace than gift to lend;
And entertains the harmless day
With religious book or friend;
This man is freed from servile bands
OF hope to rise or fear to fall;
Lord of himself, tho not of lands,
And having nothing, yet have all.

Mrs. Kate Trimble Woolsey. an
ardent suffragist has advanced the
startling philosophy that man is
only an after thought of nature.
She says:
'Our women are not only growing
larger physically, but in every field
of mental activity they are catching
up with the men. If they can gain
so much with partial liberty and
independence what may we not ex-
pect when suffrage gives them abso-
lutte freedom from man-made laws?
Women is rapidly coming into
her rights and l firmly believe that
she will eventually rule the world.
/ believe also that it will be much
pleasanter world to live in when she
does rule it.
MAN is rapidly eliminating him
self. 1t is natures law the sur
vival of the ittest. The male was
an afterthought of nature. He
was at first and is still throughout
many orders Of being, solely useful
in the propagation Of the race.
