BOOST FOR
SUMTER
Lesson This County Gives to
Developers
Atlanta Constitution Makes Recent
TlmeS-RGCOFdGF News Item Subject
For Prominent Leading EditOriaI---
Where Sumter BIaZeS Way.

Another great advertisement for
Sumter county is given in the Atlanta
Constitution, in the shape of leading
editorial, based on two recent news
items in the Times Recorder, showing
what can be done, what is being DONE
in fact, in the way of profitable agri-
culture in this county.
Under the caption "Sumter's Lesson
to Developers the Constitution, IN
double column editorial, says this:
~Trade bodies or other organiza,
tons engaged in the development f
Georgia, would do well to study the,
significance of two recent successive
events in farm sales in Sumter county.
"a day or so ago the Constitution
published a story of the sale OF a
large Sumter county farm at a healthy
Irice to a South Carolinian, who ex-
pected to introduce upon it the latest
mechanical aids to cultivation.
The following day was published the
account of the sale of another farm BY
curious coincidence to another South
Carolinian. but under conditions more
unusual than those attending the first
Il. Luther Mayes, of Newberry, s.
C., is the latest purchaser, and he
bought 1900 acres from H. A. Thomas
for an aggregate of 100000 fortune
not to be sneezed at even in prosper
GUS South Georgia.
'@The main point of the most recent
sale turns upon the enterprise, in
dustry and perspicacity shown by Mr..
Thomas. He made start eighteen
years ago with relatively little capitol.
Since then he has accumulated 9,400
acres in toto. He has lived well,
watched the steady enhancement Of
his property, and now sells less than
half of it for sum that will make him
independent the remainder of his days.
That is not to reckon with the income
fro mthe 900 acres he retains.
THE news dispatch containing this
information concludes with the STATE
ment that land sales in Sumter have
aggregated million dollars for the
past year, and that all of the money
has been kept in the county.
THE lesson Sumter offers in these
two instances are valuable.
"They are: First. the richness, at
tract1veness and steadily enhancing
value of Georgia farm lands, and the
necessity of publicity in carrying these
facts to the nation. Second, the desl:-
ability of securing for the develop
ment of idle or insufficiently cultivated
lands either people with whose view
points and customs we are thoroughly
familiar, as III the case of these two
South Carolina buyers, or purchasers
from other parts of America who can
readily assimilate with our own people
1T will also be of aid to bear IN
mind two additional facts--that the
records shown in Sumter can be dupll-
Gated in the majority of the counties
in Georgia, and that Sumter's record
itself is largely due to that far seeing
public enterprise that goes systema--
ically about the improvement OF the
county's highways"

Freaks That Human Beings Play,
As Shown In Divorce Case.

Newburgh, N. Y, Jan. 31-Wallace
Miller has instituted divorce procee1-
ings against his wife, Carrie E. Mil
ler A commission took testimony in
the West, where the defendant now is
and Judge Cochrane is considering the
testimony. Incidentally it developed
that the circumstances which form the
basis for the divorce proceedings ri
val the famous Pinney Earle affinity :
case.
Mrs. Miller was born in Pine Bush,
where at an early age she met Charles
Smith. Fro mschool day love it rip
ened into that of a more conscious
type and it was only when the girls
parents interfered that the courtship
was broken. She was then Is years
old, Smith a year or two her senior.
Smith went to Denver, correspondence
being kept up between the couple for
some time
The girls family suppressed the let
ters sen to her and she became con-
yinced that he was faithless and ceased
writing. Soon a report reached the
village that Smith was dead.
miller Weds Girl.
Miller courted and won the girl,
marrying her in 1887. AS the bridal
party left the church, Mrs. Miller saw
Smith, who is said to have remarked
that he would bide his time and win
her yet. Three children were born to
the Millers, who located in New
burgh.
Later Mrs Miller discovered that
Smith was in Newburgh One Sunday
in 1909 Mrs. Miller told her husband
that she was no longer happy, rs
another had come into her life. Smith
had left the city in the meantime and
returned to Denver, where Mrs Mil
Ter told her husband, he wanted her
to join him. The only drawback was
that she lacked funds. Then she put
it up to him to make her happy by
sending her to Smith. as she no longer
loved the husband who had been he1
companion of years.
Consents TO Yield Wife.
Miller argued with her, but she was
firm. and Miller consented to dispose
of his household effects to give her
the money to take her to Denver.
Miller accompanied her to West
Shore station in this city and kissed
her good bye On November II, Mil
Ter received a letter from his wife ask
ing forgiveness and begging to be TAX
en- back, as the happiness she expect
ed with Smith was but dead sea fruit
Miller telegraphed her his home was
fopen and she returned. They resum-
ed housekeeping, and for short time
all went we'll. Then Mrs. Miller again
went West. Miller learned that she
was in Denver, instituted divorce pro-
ceedings and had commission ap-
pointed to take testimony in Denver.

stances were suspected, but their &C.
tuality had not been allowed to trans
pire. Haldane kept in constant touch
with Liffey the boss; but no one. save
the inner circle. suspected that the
two were hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance,
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity of the situation, and had d.
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice would naturally be
sought on such subjects as he desired
to discuss. He had also assembled two
Of the directors of the Gotham Freight
Traction company, to wit, Van Slyke
and Mcdonald, men associated with
him upon whose judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
came Liffey, grand chief of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and undisputed boss of the party;
Cornell. the chief of police; Ruther-
ford, the district attorney: Habber-
ley. the street commissioner: and last
and also least, Hon. Peter D. Warren,
mayor of the city.
Liffey, as leader Of the Great
Sachem society, controlled the or
ganization absolutely. The chief Of
police welded the vast powers for
graft of that remarkable organization.
The district attorney, through whose
hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve of both
the Sachem society and that portion OF
the people to which it looked for sup
