Beware of Him.
the Jackson Argus.

From the Jackson Argus.
Georgia is infested with many
agents selling fake stocks of all kinds
gold mines, insurance companies,
etc. Some of the smaller towns of
the state have been soaked to the
tune of several thousand dollars
each. Beware of the slick-tongued
agent who promises you large divi-
dends on small investments. In al
most every instance he is a swindler
OF the worst type. Give the agent
selling these unknown stocks a wide
berth, and hold on to your cash. In
the past five years the people of
Georgia have contributed literally
millions of dollars to agents of these
"get-rich-quick" schemes.

are expected to have displays, and it
will be one of the most notable of all
the festivals known to this section.
Terrell, the banner corn and cotton
county of Georgia, should be repre-

for some of the best exhibits of our
own county fair to be shown there.

For several weeks the worn and
weary people of this land have been
harasser with the announcement that
the women's feet have grown larger.
A New York paper, in a spasm of wis
dom, acknowledges that there has
been a growth in feminine under
standing, and contends that one i'm
portant cause is the eradication of
false feminine pride in tiny feet. Of
course women's feet are growing
larger just as their hands and their
waists and, let us hope, their heads
are growing larger.

saturday after examining the various
kinds of street paving that were be-

much pleased with the work that
was going on and stated that it was
pity that all of Sumter's streets
could not be paved in the same man

the owners of the property adjacent
to the street to pay one third Of the
cost Of paving. the remainder being
paid by the city. This is for all

AGREE TO CLOSE EARLY.
All OF the Jewellers of the City Agree
to Close at Six O'clock.

To the jewelers. Of the city belongs
the honor OF taking the initial step
towards all of the stores in the city
closing at six o'clock. The question:
Of closing at six to begin the first of
April was taken up some time ago by
several merchants bat nothing de-
finite was done in the matter. Here
tofore it has been the custom to close
all stores at six o'clock beginning at
the first Of May and continuing until
the first of September.
This year a departure from that
custom was talked about by several
merchants IN the city, they having
thought that early closing to begin
the first Of April was not bad idea,
+ al of the merchants would agree
to the proposition, but no action was
taken in the matter because no on-
would take the initiative to circulate a
petition for that purpose or go
around to the various merchants in
the city to get them to close early.
The talk to this effect was among
the merchants who low keep their
stores open later than six o'clock
Now comes a statement from all of
the jewelers. Of the city that hereafter,
beginning April 1st, they will close
their stores at six o'clock. Much cred
it belongs to them for their initiative
and it is probable that other stores
will fall in line in the next few
days.
The jewelers. who have signed the
contract that they will hereafter close
at o'clock, beginning April 1st, are.

cial purpose Of encouraging the cuI-
ture Of flowers at the homes of the
members and for improving the sur
roundings of their churches and
schools. If a prize were offered for
the most desolate and ugIiest place
the decision would have to be made
between the grounds of a country
school and a railroad station, that is
If the competition was only open to
South Carolina.
The only criticism that can be
made on this movement on the part
Of the Civic League is that Of fur
nishing free seed, for while there
would be fewer competitors the re-
suits would probably be better if the
children were to furnish the seed
themselves, but the main thing is to
get them interested in the culture Of
flowers

Foster and Encourage The Love of
Flowers by the Children.
Editor Daily Item.

Editor Daily Item.
The writer asks for space in your
columns to extend his congratulations
and good wishes to the members of
the Civic League and also to predict
for them a large measure Of success,
Tor the inauguration Of a movement
to induce the children to cultivate
flowers for it is very certain that they
could not devise any plan that will
be OF more benefit both to the city
and to its people individually.
Ihere can be no question Of the
1act that when it comes to the cu!-
ture Of the beautiful We are far be-
hlnd the cities and towns of the
north and for this to be the case is
simply reproach to our people.
Some years ago the writer received
a letter from a gentleman in Boston
in which he stated, in connection with
this subject, that everything that
taste could suggest and that money
could purchase was used to adorn
the city and that it was "a good invest
ment simply from financial stand
point. Owing to our milder climate
1t is much easier, and costs less. to
Deautlfy our cities and towns than
those in the Northern part of the
country. The only thing lacking be-
ing our Indifference and a want of
appreciation of how helpful the cul-
ture of the beautiful is mentally,
morally and spiritually. An individ-
ual may have wealth, be we'll educat-
ed and have high social position, but
II that man or woman does not love
ano appreciate the beautiful they lack
genuine refinement and this deprives
them Of such a large measure Of en-
Joyment that no words can adequate
ly describe their loss.
Encourage the children to culti-
vate flowers is beginning in the right
way, for the mind of a child is both
receptive and plastic ond impressions
made in youth will remain through
life. Then too, when they grow up
and leave their homes to take their
place in the worlds work they will
take this love for the beautiful with
them and make it a blessing and an
inspiration to all with whom they
are thrown.
Encouraging children to cultivate

All of the jury cases to be heard

sickness, however, prevented his COM

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Bicycle Riders Again up for Riding
on Forbidden Sidewalks.

There were only two cases tried in
he police court on Saturday be-
fore Recorder Lee and these cases
were speedily disposed of.
G. X. Ardis was charged with vio-
lation OF the hack and vehicle ordin-
ance. and leaving his horse unhitch-
ed on the streets. He was given q
sentence OF $500 or four days on the
first charge and $500 or six days on
the second charge.
William Hudson was charged with
public drunkenness. He admitted the
trcth of the charge and was sentenc-
ed To pay fine of $500 or to serve
10 days on the county public works.
n rich harvest was reaped by Re-
corder Lee on Monday when the
time came for him to gather in the
money paid in fines by various and
Sundry parties who had in various
ways disobeyed city ordinances.
Among those to pay their nnes were
several bicycle riders who had an
antipathy to riding on he street when
the sidewalk was there to be ridden
on. Those fined for riding on forbid
del sidewalks mere. ". Finkelstein,

Nose Farmer was charged with
several offenses. chief among which
were: public drunkenness, creating a
disturbance and carrying a concealed
weapon. Tie plead guilty to some Of
these offenses and to some he plead
not guilty. He was sentenced by the
Recorder to pay a fine of $500 or
to serve 30 days on the county pub
lie works. He paid the fine.
William Casey, colored, was up on
the charge of assault with intent TO
rdNiSn. InS warrant was sworn out
by the husband of the woman upon
whom the attempt was alleged to
have been made. 1t seems from
the evidence given in the case that
several messages were brought Casey
by messenger. who could not be
found this morning to testify in
court, that the woman wanted to see
him. He went to the house Satur-
day night, ordered supper and later
sat down and began talking to the
woman. After a while, for some un-
explained reason. each became angry
with the other and cursed the other
and Casey was ordered out Of the
house. lie went after some talk.
The Recorder discharged Casey with
warning To be more careful in the
future whore ne went and how he
called on married women.
