SYNDICATE
HAS BOUGHT
Other Land
near THE EASTERLIN ESTATE
Recently Purchased Near
AnderSOnVilIe

That the St. Louis party which o
few days ago purchased 1900 acres
land, ten miles north of Americus
and near Andersonville, were highly
/ pleased with their advantageous deal
| is evidenced in the purchase of an
additional 500 acres adjoining the Eas-
terlin plantation, which they had all
ready bought at the round price of
$4,000.
A liberal cash payment was made
for the Easterlin lands, it is said, and
notes given for deferred payments
due a year hence. They secured the
other 500 acres at $40 per acre, MAX
ing a total investment of $4,000 in
Sumter lands. The mystery surround
ing the purchase of these lands is
partially cleared in the report that
the purchasers have discovered, or
believe they have discovered, in the
clay soil there the ore which forms
the basis of aluminium. If this Is
true they claim they have bargain
in the 1900 acres purchased, even
at the price of $60,OOO.
When the two prospectors first
came to Andersonville the impression
prevailed that they were hunting hard
woods, such as persimmon, dogwood.
etc, but later, when they began Dig
ging about over the old farm, this
idea was dissipated, though no one di-
vined their real purpose.
i After the purchase of the land was
! consummated they told people there
: that they represented St Louis inter
i. ests with much wealth behind them,
D and that the Easterlin lands would be
I developed in due time. Their business
/ was merely to look out for ore de-
= posits and buy lands, which they had
I done in several states.
}. Easterlin Bros. paid less than $IV'-
i 600, it is said, for the farm which tney
r have sold for $4,000 and are satis--

union PICNIC
At REUNION
IS SUGGESTED
FOR SUNDAY SCHOOLS HERE
To Teach Children Lesson in
Patriotism

A suggestion, which in its nature Is
one of unusual worth and interest,
has been made with reference to the
Confederate Veterans reunion soon
to be held in Macon. The suggestion
is that all the Sunday Schools of the
city unite in a picnic to be held in
Macon during the reunion in May.
The many advantages of such plaG
and the many pleasant results thai
should come from such an action are
worthy of more than passing notice,
In this particular it has been pointed
out that the outing would be a most
ENJOYABLE one, as the local schools
have not taken a trip to Macon for
picnic purposes in a long time.
Further than this, one of the chief
things to be gained would be the
patriotic lesson to be infused into the
minds of the children by giving them
an opportunity to see the ragged lines
of the Confederate veterans, which
are fast passing away, before the
time comes when such sight can no
more be gained This phase of the
matter should appeal to every patrl-
otic parent in Americus.
The spirit of unity and good fellow
ship that should come from a union
picnic is also, another feature that is
worthy of special notice. This should
be worth a great deal to the commun'
ity, and such an affair would be mos
profitably held occasionally at least
1t is hoped that the suggestion VII
meet with general favor here.

Organization of a live and vigorous
club to favor the candidacy of Thomas

this section and state.
The following officers have been
chosen for the club: Messrs NJ. B.

that the canvass for members has
just begun.
The first communication sent out

of this city and county. The circular
recited the facts of the entrance of
Mr. Hudson into the race for gov

follows
Our fellow citizen, Hon. Thomas

which is entirely consistent with dem

laws, especially that portion of the
laws which applies to fish, are being
committed with greater or less fire.
quency in Sumter county, is empha.
sized by the fact that the Americus
Fishing club, through its officers, has
made an appeal to the people of the
county to stop violations of the law.
The members of the Fishing club
realize the Importance of discounte-
nancing all violations of the game
law relative to fish, so that the club
has added its appeal TO Warden NC
Maths, who is engaged in endeavor-
ing to apprehend every violator of the
law who can possibly be found. A re-
grettable condition is that some of the
violators are said to be of the best
citizens of the county. A special APP
peal is made to these to help prevent
violations of the law.
Instead of being lessened in any
way, the efforts made by Game War
den McMath will be redoubled in the
future, and violators of the law will
be prosecuted to the laws extent. The
text of the appeal given to The Times
