occupied the principal attention of this

spirited opposition on the part of sew

lie called up for attention in response
to general demand. However, it is
stated that the paths Of the annexa-

Sumter Lands Still Attract
the CaFOIiniaRS

Americas, the centre Of the great
colony of South Carolinians, who have
invested in farming lands-here, is still
the Mecca of other investors seeking
homes in this land of promise-ana
pay. Not only do the Carolnians flock
to Sumter, but are buying in other
South Georgia counties as we'll. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been invested in this section in re-
cent months, and the golden stream
is still flowing. During the past week
South Carolinians bought a farm in
Sumter county for $4,000; a planta-
ton in Terrell county for 100000, and
two farms in Houston county for S32,-
900 and $23,175 respectively. In addi-
ton to these actual sales, one hundred
thousand dollars was offered by
South Carolinian for one Of the finest
farms in Sumter, a splendid tract
few miles out of Americus, but the
tempting offer was declined by the
owner. The purchase money was in
readiness to be paid over, but even
100000 was not enough for this model
Sumter county plantation, and the deal
was not consummated

that the mules were not included in

Ell Paso, Tex, May 4.-The first pos
itive official steps with the Maderist
faction of the insurrectos and the Diaz
government in Mexico-co-operatin

While the belief is strong in Ell Paso
and Juarez that a peace pact will re-
suit from the negotiations just how far
this treaty will go toward ending hos
tlities, except in the immediate zone
about Juarez is viewed as problemat-
ical and dubious. Even General Ma
dero is not sanguine that a peace pact
between his faction and the Mexican
government will effect a cessation of
Lostilities in Central and Southern
Mexico.
In view of the menacing movements
of the rebels toward Mexico City, the
DiaZ peace commissioners have been
asI Ell to hasten their negotiations in
the hope that treaty would have a
moral effect on the insurrectos, not
actually bound to General Madero.

was ready to begin negotiations at

Cotton Bale Ties

One Of the Fort Worth rolling
mills may supply ties for larger
part Of this years cotton crop by
installing the necessary machine
ny for making ties, declared Pres
ident w. II. Loudermilk Of the
Farmers union Monday.
There has been patented by a
member of the union a buckle for
binding the euds OF cotton ties
together, which the farmers and
ginners believe is far superior to
the arrow tie in common use. AS
the steel trust has refused to make
the ties for a buckle upon which
they do not own the patent, the
farmers are compelled to look 10
independent manufacturers for
their ties, if they use what they
believe is much improved
buckle.
The Texas representative Of the
firm manufacturing the buckles
was here Thursday and Friday
presenting the matter to the
warehouse conference, and all
those in attendance gave the
buckle their unqualified indorse-
ment.
President Loudermilk suggest
ed TO this representative the pos
sibility of getting one of the in
dependent rolling mills here to
make the buckle and if arrange
ments can be made to this effect
it is believed that practically all
of the union farmers in the south
end man nonunion tnes as well,
would demand the Fort Worth.
made ties.
II is claimed that the new buck.
lie is interlocking. unbreakable
and will not slip. II can be fur
nished as cheap as the arrow tie
and while a factory has been or.
gauized to manufacture the buck
les the promoters would readily
give the contract for the ties TO
match the buckles 10 an indepcnd-
ent rolling mill if one is found
that will give satisfactory terms.
It is estimated that very little ma
chinery is needed for turning out
the ties and the Fort Worth con
Germs will get busy looking into
the matter.
Both the ginners and the
farmers favor the improved
buckle. Mr. Loudermilk said.
and he gave the assurance that
the farmers would demand thi,
character of buckle and ties for

BIGGEST MONTH OF MAY
At THE BIG CUR|0 STORE
Some of the Reasons That Have Made
II So.

Though the business Of BaIke's Big
Curio store has been growing from
year To year as a comparison of each
months business with the business. of
the corresponding month Of the prevf-
Gus year, the month of May now draw
ing to close shows a phenomenal in
crease over any predecessor
This is attributed TO two things.
first, the cut price sale which was in
augurated last fall and the aoquaint-
ance of people generally with the
varied and excellent character Of the
stock.
Gifts for jane brides. graduation
gifts and the demand for souvenirs bv
tourists about % depart for their
homes. have all contributed heavily to
the business of this month.
Scores Of people who had heen at
tracted by the persistent talk about cut
prices at the Big Curio store have said
that they regretted that they
were not attracted earlier. They
had no idea that 80 MANY things
that they wanted were kept there. and.
considering the quality of the goods.
the cut prices were even lower than
they expected to find them.
The cut prices are still in force and
there is yet time for the belated tour
