ESTATE BOUGHT
BY A ST. LOUIS SYNDICATE
S5O,OOO Was the Price Paid For Lands Many Possess
Kaolin Deposits

Fifty thousand dollars was the
handsome consideration announced
yesterday in the sale of 1900 acres
Sumter county land, sold by Easterlin
Bros, at Andersonville to st. Louis
syndicate. The land is to be deve!-
oped by the company, but for what
purpose no one knows.
Representatives of the syndicate
came to Andersonville, inspected the
lands and paid the price. saying moth
ing as to their intentions on the line
of development. Mr.. B. F. Easterlil
was in Americus yesterday and to
friends here announced the sale of the
1900 acres. The payment required
was made and the purchasers left i'm
mediately for ST. Louis, without di-
vulging their plans to any one in An
Jacksonville. In fact, their visits t.
the Easterlin lands were somewhat
mysterious.
Several weeks ago, it is said, the
St. Louis prospectors came to Ander-
sonville, looked carefully over the ole
fields and adjacent woodland and

after consultation, offered 100000 for
the 1900 acres. Mr.. Easterlin de-
clined the offer, whereupon they went
away, only to return with the offer If
$4,000, which was accepted
1t is suspected that the purchasers
have discovered some deposit in the
lands, doubtless kaolin of fine quail
ity, as this mineral is plentiful in that
region. Mr. B. F. Easterlin has re-
Gently gone over the lands with I
view to finding anything of value, but
the kaolin proposition is the most
plausible theory that can be suggested
by him.
In this event it is possible that the
purchasers may erect large plant
here for the development of the kao-
lin beds upon their purchase, manu-
featuring it into fine pottery, etc.
The lands sold by tht Easterlin
Bros. lie to the east and south of the
national cemetery and along Sweet
waite creek. 1t is ordinary farming
land, the greater part of it, and its
sale at nearly $2S an acre is consid-
cred very advantageous one.

FARMERS MAKING
fine PROGRESS IN
CROP PLANTING
Still Behind With Work In
Sumter County

Sumter's farmers have utilized well
the three weeks of fine weather just
passed and have been busy planting
corn and cotton. Most of the corn
crop is in, and on many farms is COM
ing up already, while cotton planting
is progressing as rapidly as the
ground can be prepared and the seed
put in the burrows.
Taken as whole the farmers are d
month or more behind with their work
as compared with previous years,
caused by the heavy rains in the late
winter and early spring, which made
plowing impossible.
Owing to the fact that so many far
mers were busy with their cotton last
fall and that plowing could not be
done during the winter months, there
is big reduction in the oat crop, es-
timated from 25 to so per cent, being
near the latter figure. This loss is
serious, because the oat crop comes
in between seasons as a food crop and
is one of the most profitable.
There is a decrease in the amount
of fertilizers sold caused principally
by reduction in cotton acreage.
More attention is being given TO
stock raising and there is a big in
crease in food crops, averaging over
35 per cent.
Cotton acreage is at least % per
cent. less in this county, and in this
entire section than last year. This
is in part due to the educational cam
paign along this line, but principally
to the condition of the market at the
close of the last season.

MERCER-AUBURN GAMES WILL
Be PLAYED HERE NEXT WEEK
Formal Contract For Three Games Was Signed Here Yes
terday By Manager Tiff Of the Mercer Team and
Manager Ford For the Local Management

1t is certain now that the Mercer
Auburn series of baseball games will
be played in Americus, as formal
contract to that effect was yester-
day signed by Manager A. C. Tiff, If
the Mercer baseball team, and Mana
ger M. K. Ford, of the local baseball
team. The matter has been undecid I'd
for some time, so it will be a matter of
qualification for local fans to know
chat the matter has at last been set
tied.
The matter of what place would be
chosen for these important college
games has been undecided for some
time, though Americus has had the
more favorable consideration from the
Mercer management from the begin
ming. Now that the matter is settled
all possible preparations will be made
by Manager Ford to make the series
of games a great success, as the local
management, which should derive
considerable benefit from the games
have received very favorable terms in
the contract.
Instead of two games, as originally
intended, there will be a complete Sc.
ries played here, as Manager Tilt
made final arrangements with Mana
ger Bragg, of the Auburn team, over
long distance telephone last night 10
that effect. The games will be so
arranged, however that one will be
played Thursday April %, with =
double-header the following day. It
was impossible to arrange a game TO"
Saturday, as has been wished for, as
the schedules of the two teams coa-
flicted in this particular
The rivalry between the two teams
is sufficient to bring large crowd Of
students from each college, as ths
Mercer students will come to Ameri-
Gus on a special train to see the
games, while the Auburn rooters may
likewise come on a special. There
will be a great crowd of students here
at any rate from both schools, in alt
dition to the large number of local
and out-of-town people who will be
present 1t is the purpose of the To-
cal management to advertise the
games as widely as possible, so that
three record-breaking crowds will be
present.
If the three games can be made a
great success here this season, it is
believed that they can be secured next
year and permanently. This would be
great advantage to the locals, as Me-
mortal Day might be chosen as tho
day and be made big opening day for
the local baseball season, as the re-
ceipts should be large enough to fur
nish a neat sum for the benefit Of the
management of the local team.

in the next few days in order to get
the club organized before the apI
preaching games. The club would be
of great benefit on the occasions when
athletic teams from Mercer come here.
During the past season the basket ball
team was here, so the coming of the
baseball team will make two athletic
teams here within short time, and It
is likely that the appearance OF each
will be made an annual event.

AS told in the earlier dispatches OF
the day, the cause of the sinking of
the Titanic was it's having collided
with an iceberg off the New Found
land coast. 1t was not until late last
night that the falsity of the report
published during the day was admit
ted by the news agencies here, and the
true reports, which had been gained
with what is believed to be careful
accuracy, We're given out by thess
same agencies.
1t was 2:2O o'clock this morning that
the Titanic collided with an iceberg
off the coast of New Foundland and
very soon thereafter reports concern :
ing the catastrophe began to be re-
ceived here with more or less acct
racy. In addition to the fact that ap-
proximately 1000 people are suppos-
ed to have been lost, while only 500
were saved, it is reported that about
$5,000,000 worth of diamonds were lost
with the cargo, the entire value of
which is placed at $S,OOO,00O to 81 i
100000, while the total loss, including
the steamer, is placed as high as 500
600, 900
On account of the large number Of
lives lost and the prominence of the
who were for the most
part among the best known people of
the country, the catastrophe easily
takes rank as one of the most stu
pendous, if not the most terrible, that
has occurred in many years. The de-
of further news concerning
the names of those who were lost,
which was not available here tonighr,
is awaited with most eager interest.
No details as to the names of the sur
yivors could be ascertained at all he e
tonight.
The Titanic was the largest steamer
afloat, and was constructed at trc-
mendous cost. 1t also had the largest
crew and the most costly
cargo that has been carried by any
steamer in many years. All the dra-I
matte features of the sinking of the
huge steamer off New Foundlan1,
where is it most difficult to obtain ac-
curate reports at this time, constitute
one of the most dramatic accidents
that has occurred in many years.
