$4,000 IS OFFER MADE
| FOR FARM in SUMTER
Bought Not Long Since for
Half the Sum

Forty thousand dollars was the fiat
tering offer made-and refused-quite
recently for snug little farm of $50
acres four miles south of Americas
ON the Lee street road. And, moreover,
the present owner fatty refuses to
name any price for his farm, though
urged to do so.
He is satisfied with his property,
which has doubled in value since he
bought it two or three years ago, and
it still growing more valuable daily.
81 make $4,000 or $4,000 clear on
my farm every year, and don't want to
sell it at any price" says the owner.
Yesterday a South Carolinan saw the
little 75O-acre farm, with its comfort
able old ante-bellum home-not fine
at all, but comfortable. He saw the
well-tilled, red-level fields, and ne
wanted the farm badly.
A real estate dealer hunted up the
lucky owner, who just a few years
ago paid probably $4,000 or like sum
for the farm, and asked him to put a
price upon it. But the farmer was
satisfied with results The farm suits
him, and he will keep it as a legacy
for his children.
NO, siree," he replied q have al
ready refused $4,000 for this farm
and I mnot going to put price up
on it for anybody"

PISTOL CASE ON TRIAL
OF INTEREST in STATE
Validity of Recent Law Being
Tested

In Americas, where comparatively
few pistol toters have applied for Ii
cense to lug a gun" under the new
pistol carrying act, interest is felt in
the attack now being made before the
Court OF Appeals upon the constitu-
tionality of the act. The outcome Of
the case there will be of very general
interest.
1t has been questioned time and
again since its enactment, but until
now the issue of its constitutionality
has not come to a direct test.
This act made it unlawful for any
body to carry pistol or revolver with
out first obtaining a license from the
ordinary of his county and giving
bend. 1t was claimed that the law
against carrying concealed weapons
cid not eliminate the pistol-toter, in
asmuch as undesirable characters did
not hesitate to carry their guns ex-
posed.
This law was supposed to make it
unlawful to carry pistol, exposed or
concealed, without a permit
The State Court of Appeals takes the
issue from the case of j. L. Strick-
land VS.. The State, arising from the
City Court of Carollton.
The appellate asks the Supreme
court if the law is in violation of that
part of the state constitution which
provides that The right of the people
to bear arms shall not be infringed
but the general assembly may have
power to prescribe the manner il
which arms nay be borne"
1t further asks the higher court i
the law violates that part of thu
United States constitution which pro,
vides: "a wcll-regulated militia be
ing necessary to the security of fire.
state. the right of the people to keel
and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The Supreme courts decision in Thu
case will decide a number of other;
which have a'lscn in others of ~
lower courts on the same point.

IN TAKING
UP LAND IS KEEN

A number of Lovelockers had plan
ned to take up large amount OF land
in the vicinity of the lake recently,
but lost out by about an hour in get
ting their filings in.
The lucky ones were Fallonites who,
through their agent, J. c. Sparks, were
successful over the others by the short
space of 90 minutes.
The proposition gives an insight in
to the peculiar occurrences in connec-
tion with the placing Of public lands
on the market. This tract of land,
over which there was such a rivalry in
securing, was withdrawn in 1902 when
the Truekee Carson project was laid
ont The tract was ordered restored
to entry on December 2l, at the U. >.
land Office at Carson at .. a. m. Mr..
Sparks, for the Fallonites, was on hand
at the proper place at the appointed
time. The Loveloek man was also on
hand. but the plan of his clients was
to take the land under the Carey act,
being interested in the Loveloek res
ervoirs.
To do this they had to apply at the
state land office to have the land set
aside to the state. On the other hand
the Fallon people proposed to take 1t
under the desert land act.
The result was that it cecame a
question of who got there first. The
II. S. land office opens at 8 a. m, while
the state land office does not open un-
til 10 a. m This gave Mr.. Sparks an
hour to the good and he succeeded in
securing nearly 1000 acres of the
choicest land for his clients before the
Carey act people could get the land
withdrawn. | twas only open for set
