better to suffer whatever came upon
them at their very affairs than to omit
anything their law required.

George w Beatty, who recently
qualified as an aviator demonstrated
that there Is n new way of taking your
fiancee to a seashore on Sunday after

flew with her twelve miles across coun-
try to Long Beach. After they had
dined leisurely. they boarded their air
craft again and flew back to their
starting place by roundabout
course. They were i'm the biplane forty

TERRIFIC BLOW AGAINST
MILADY'S BONNET.
No More Feathers May BE Used in
Jersey From Now On.

Trenton, \. j., August 4.-Under a
law passed by the last Legislature, it
lis now an offense punishable by heavy
fne-and, perchance dungeon cell
r. for any person to use in any manner
whatsoever with especial and definite
reference to milady's bonnet, the plu-
mage of any bird the killing of which
is prohibited by law. The law was
passed at the instigation of the Au-
dubon Society, following similar action
b.. other states under the same slim
.u.us.
The bill was introduced by Assem-
biyman Radcliff, of Passaic county,
who is a married man. He said its
plain purpose is to stop the slaughter
of birds for their plumage to adorn
lie headgear of the feminine section
Of the population.

AIabdmiaDS Are Looking This
Way Now

Americas and the fine farming lands
of Sumter are attracting people Of
other state as we'll as South Caro-
linians, and investors from Alabama
and North Carolina are among those
looking this way. Yesterday Mess IS.
Echols and Mccullough, of Admission
Ala, were prospecting here, Mr.. Ecn-
OILS purchasing a desirable farm near
the city-the Mathews place-and will
come back to Sumter to reside. A
number of South Carolinians who
have heard Of Sumter county farm
lands came in yesterday, and many
others are expected here during the
current month. All who have been
here express themselves as highly
pleased with the lands, climate, the
people and conditions generally, and
not a few will purchase farms and
settle in this finest section in the

Big INCREASE Is SHOWN
IN VALUES In SUMTER
Banner County Will Present
Fine Showing

While Tax Receiver John 7. Howell
has not yet consolidated the returns
of state and county taxes for the cur
rent year. Sumter is going to be in
the front ranks Of Georgia counties
showing increase in property values.
Receiver Howell stated yesterday that
it would require several days yet 70
get the figures accurately, and when
this is finally done it will be seen that
Sumter will show a considerable gain
over the property return for last year,
when nearly seven million dolla's
made up the splendid aggregate. Farm
land values in Sumter, alone, have in
creased a million dollars in val
ue within the year, as evidenced by
the many land sales effected, although
this fact is not reflected, in the tax
returns to any extent. But values
generally have increased very hand
someIy, and Sumter will again taEe
rank with the leading counties in the
state in this respect.
