!aborate system OF advertising ever at
tempted by any business house 10 this
section. namely: the giving away OF the
beautiful Upton Parlor Grauc Piano
which is now upon exhibition 1t their

This piano re,ails ~ $4,000 each.
guaranteed for Zen years. The princi-
pal points OF superiority OF the cele-
bra.et Uptoc piano over any other Of
this class OF instruments lie in the three
strings in unison with overstrnng bass,
the splendidly pitched scale and true
sounding board which give the Upton

SUMTER COUNTY A GARDEN
IN HER WEALTH OF CROPS

Americas will indeed be the Mecca
of the man behind the cotton bale
when the harvest season comes in Sep
TENDER, as every indication points TO
a splendid crop of corn and cotton
and a continuation of the prosperity
which has been felt by the farmers of
Sumter and of this entire esction in
VERY recent years.
1t is conceded on every hand that
the lands are in better shape and the
crops further advanced now than. for
many seasons heretofore. Added to
this is a spirit of optimism that is
worth much. The farmers are not
only hopeful, but they are working and
planning to better purpose than ever
before.
Never before has the prospect been
so bright for an abundant harvest, nor
have the farmers been so we'll up with
work at this season. Every available
acre of land is under cultivation, and
as clean as yard.
The farming sections of Sumter are
indeed beautiful now, and one speed
ing over the fine roads in an automo-
bile will see the most superb farms to
be found in all Georgia-excepting
none
The open weather early in the year
afforded opportunity for farm work
many weeks in advance of the usual
season. Gang plows pulled by gasoline
engines broke up the ground to a
great depth, the effect of which is seen
upon growing crops now. More fer
tilizer was used than in previous years
and the result is gratifying,
Every field is garden, and the
county a modern Eden.
Corn-thousands of acres of it's
half knee high and growing vigorous
ly. Cotton-thousand of acres of it
is chopped out, as rule, and the
prospect the prettiest ever known here
i'm Sumter. Vast fields of oats and
wheat, waist high, and heavily loaded
with fruit, greet the eye in every sec
ton of Sumter.
The acreage in oats is even greater
than last year, when Sumter county
produced 100000 bushels, and the pros
pect is excellent. In some fields a
Stetson hat thrown uot will be sup
ported easily, so rank is the grain
Many fields here, it is estimated, will
yield fifty to sixty bushels per acre
easily, with good seasons.
