FIFTY THOUSAND
FOR PLANTATION
Another Deal in Farming
Lands Closed
Two Farms Near Americas Are Sold
For Round Price Of $4,000
Through Southern Land CO..-.Flfty
Dollars an Acre For 400 Acres.

Nearly fifty thousand dollars, or to
be exact $4,000, was the round price
paid yesterday for two farms near
Americas. The sales were made
through the Southern Land Company,
of Americas, and, as usual, South Car
DINA investors seeking fine farming
lands in Sumter, We're the purchasers.
The aggregate acreage of the two
farms was 1865 acres.
One of these, a pretty farm of just
400 acres, sold for the round price of
$4,000 or $50 per acre. The purchas-
er in this instance insisted that his
name not be given for the present.
The other sale was that of the for
mer w. NJ. Andrews farm of 1,460
acres, the purchase price in this in
stance being $4,000, or $40 per acre.
The seller of this land bought it a
short time ago as an investment, and
in the deal just consummated he
cleared a profit of $1,000
Both purchasers in the sales made
yesterday are now completing arrange
ments to come to Sumter in the fall
and reside on their farms.
That lands thus purchased here are
a safe and profitable investment has
been iully demonstrated in the many
sales of Sumter county lands within
the past few months
The Times-Recorder only few days
ago cited a case in point where a
Sumter county farmer bought for $751;
600 a farm of $50 acres a year or two
ago Last week he refused an offer
of $4,000 for his farm and refused
to name any price, for fear that he
might be held to it.
Sumter is the banner county of the
state, and the tide of immigration con-
tinues to flow this way.

preparation bills aggregating approx
mately $5,OOO,O00,OO0, or half the total
allowed by the last session of con-
gress, may have become laws in such
an irregular manner as to inyalidate
them The comptroller of the treas
ury will be called upon to determine
their status and this must be done at
any early date, as many of the APP
preparations were made Immediately
available.
The bills receiving final action on
tbs legislative and calendar day OF
March 4, which causes their legality
to be questioned, are the naval, the
postoffice, the sundry civil and the
general deficiency These We're en-
rolled and approved by the president
as dated March 4. In addition the
president approved the Notifications
appropriations act, % Senate and 30
House bills and some joint resolutions.
Among these acts was the one pro-
noting Robert E. Peary to rear adj
miral
The trouble arises because Senator
hale thoughtlessly moved and adj
journment Of the senate, instead of a
recess This made it necessary to
Utilize the calendar day of March I,
which establishes an entirely new
precedent. From the foundation If
the government until March last
it has been the inevitable practice to
either adjourn sine die at midnight Of
March or take a recess, thus carry
ing the legislative day of March 8 over
until noon of March 4.
Henry VI. Rose, assistant secretary
of the senate and an expert parlia-
mentarian, has prepared an exhaust
i've treatise on the subject He has
reviewed all the precedents contained
in the legislative records and finds
that a new one was established by
scnator Hale's motion to adjourn. He
also holds that the approval of the
bills by the president will prove ir-
rel ular, as congress was not actually
in session at the time, although sit
ting. He asserts that, under the adj
ij1arnment, the newly elected congress
came into life.

MRS. GLOVER ON
WITNESS STAND
Only Ono Occasion When Relations
With Husband Were Unpleasant.

Cambridge. Mass. May Half
dozen witnesses, including the widow
Mrs. Lillian Glover, testified in the
supreme court today in support of the
will of Clarence F. Glover. of Wal
than, which is being contested by
four of his brothers, on the ground
that Mrs. Glover influenced her hus-
band in making a Will partially in her
favor, though two-thirds OF the prop
erty goes to a fifth brother, Seymour.
Mrs. Glover and Seymour Glover
both declared on the stand that they
did not know of the contents of the
will until some time after it had been
signed. Mrs. Glover repeated most of
the evidence given in probate court,
to the effect that her relations with
her husband were at all times friendly
and usually pleasant. the only time
that she felt incensed against him be-
ing when she discovered him in al
legged improper conduct with Miss Hat
tie Leblanc, who was acquitted of his
murder last December. She denied
that she had ever desired his death.
Other witnesses who claimed to have
known the GIovers intimately testified
that they never saw them quarreling,
while the relationship was usually
pleasant.
1t is expected that the viii side of
the trial will be closed Tuesday

Senator Stone Presents Statistics to

Washington, May LIN speech in
the senate today. lasting more than
three hours. Senator Stone of Mis-

unjust propaganda to defeat the Ca
madam reciprocity bill. The attempt,
he said. was being made TO alarm the
American people by painting the ruin
that would follow the free importation
of Canadian goods, the products of
cheap labor This contention, he de-
clared, was absolutely untrue and he
submitted statistics gathered by both
governments to show that both labor
and livestock were higher across he
border than in the United States.
When Mr.. Stone concluded, Senator
Gallinger asserted that the Missouri
senator had proved conclusively that
there would not be the reduction in
the cost of living which it had been
contended reciprocity would bring the
United States. Mr.. Stone replied that
he had not contended that in and of
itself reciprocity would be Of great
benefit but he had undertaken to show
