DEATH OF
B. ". JONES
President Of the Keystone Land
Company Passed Away On
Monday.

B. w. Jones, principal owner
Of the mammoth Keystone farm,
died at the farm near Mantador
Monday following an illness Of
several weeks.
Death was due to the .iHflrmi-
ties Of old age, deceased having
passed his 83rd birthday. He was
conscious almost to the end and
did not abandon hope of recovery
until few hours before death
ensued.
Deceased was a man of promi-
nence in the eastern business and
financial world and had been very
successful, accumulating q for
tune of more than a million dol
lars. Among his investments
was the Keystone farm of $3.50
acres in Belford township, and
for several years he has spent q
good share of the summer seas
on on the farm. He was a most
likable character and made warm
friends of all with whom he came
in contact.
Deceased was a native of Penn
sylvania and acquired he Key
stone farm by trading coal mine
stock for the land, which mad suf-
fered a series of crop failures
which disheartened the owners.
He is survived by son and two
daughters, and two Of the child
rem were with him at the time of
his death. The other daughter
was unable to leave her eastern
home on account of illness.
Besides the Keystone farm of
$3.50. acres, the company of which
deceased was president owns an
other bonanza farm near Clifford
Traill county, N. D., and deceased
was the principal stockholder in
the electric railway around Mia
CARA Falls.
The remains were embalmed
and shipped to Buffalo, N. Y, on
Tuesday morning for burial.
For the present the death Of the
president will make no change in
the management of the big farm
in this, county. It is probable
that in the course of time, how
ever, 1t will be sold of in small
lots and pass to the ownership

MGR. WICKER
VERY ACTIVE
IN new WORK
WILL MAKE SUCCESS OF 1T
Has Had Advantage Of Pre-
ViOuS knowledge

The manner in which Mr.. David
Wicker, who is the efficient farm man
ager at the Third District Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College, has taken
mp Il G work of supervising the Unit
cd States demonstration work for this
county insures a continuation of the
excellent work done formerly in that
position by Mr.. G. V. Cunningham,
who has since retired from that posi-
ton to take up the organization of
boys corn clubs in this section of the
state.
Mr.. Wicker was thoroughly familiar
with the work as it was done by MI
Cunningham, having been associated
intimately with the former supervisor
in the work done here last year. With
his invaluable experience by which to
be guided, Mr. Wicker has taken up
the work since his recent appointment
with an intelligence and enthusiasm
that gives assurance of the successful
continuation of the work in Sumter
county.
1t is with genuine satisfaction that
the farmers of the county will coop
crate with Mr.. Wicker, who has been
so we'll known from his excellent SER
vices to the college as farm manager
there for several years. Mr. Wicker :
work as farm manager has attracted
most favorable comment from visitors
to the college from all sections of the
state. and the farm demonstration
work for this county could not have
been put into hands more capable OF
more efficient.

SPLENDID GAINSaWERE
MADE IN ROME
Tax Assessors Make Their
Report to Receiver

Rome, Ca, March 29.-An increase
of $240,000 in the valuation of the
city's real estate is what the city tax
assessors have found in their 1912
rounds. The assessors have complet-
ed their work and their assessments
are now in the hands of City Tax Re-
ceived G. S. Reese. He has not COM
pleted the exact footings, but HAS gone
far enough to know that the increase
will be at least $24O 900, or a quar-
ter of a million dollars.
This shows an increase of about :.
per cent. over last year. The valua-
ton of the realty in 1911 was $5,421, :
O9O That for 1912 is,eaproximately
S., 600. This represents largely the
improvements upon real estate, as it
has not been the policy of the assess
ors to increase the valuation ma
terially unless some improvements
have been made.
The personally returns in 1911
were $9,906,547, making the total
of realty and personally last year
$9,327 ,637. The increase brings
the total for 1912 already beyond
nine and a half millions. The in
crease in personally will, no doubt.
be larger than the increase in realty
and Rome's total tax valuations will
go close to the ten million mark.

Lecture ON
TRAVELS BY
DIR. MORRISON
GIVEN SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Address One Of Special In
teFGSt and Profit

On Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
at the First Methodist church DR.. H.
c. Morrison will deliver his famous
address on "A World Tour of Evan
gelism." This is one of DR.. Morri-
sons masterpieces in lecture form,
and the announcement that it will be
given at that time will doubtless bring
out an unusually large crowd to hear
the speaker.
This address is replete with thrill
ing; stories of wonderful experiences
in China, India and other countries,
though which DR.. Morrison recently
travelled and preached. Sunday morn
ing and evening the services will be
conducted as usual. There will be
no services today, so that church-go-
ers may have a brief rest for the in
teresting services that come tomor-
row.
With the services tomorrow DR..
Morrison will close his work in the
series of services that have been con-
Quoted at the church during tn elast
two weeks. On account of the fact
that tomorrow's services are the last
at which DR.. Morrison will preach,
large congregations will assemble to
hear him at the services given during
the day.
The work done here by DR.. Morrison
has been most helpful and successful
since it began. He has been the re-
cipient of warm and cordial hospital
ity at the hands of local church-go-
ers, who have enjoyed the series Of
services at which he has preached.

.DRUMMERS NOV
fight FOR THE
FORMER method
PULLING MILEAGE ON TRAINS
Large Attendance at Session
in Macon

Macon, Ga, March 29.-The Trav-
elers' Protective association has aban-
doned its fight to compel the railroads
to provide extra windows in theis
ticket offices for the accommodation
of patrons using mileage books. But
the fight to compel the railroads CO
Georgia to accept mileage and penny
script on trains will be carried before
the railroad commission and if re-
fused there will be taken before
the legislature, and an effort will be
made to get measure through.
This developed yesterday at the
opening session of the state conven-
ton of the Travellers Protective as
sociation and was brought out in the
report of the committees on railroad
and legislation.
Another matter that was brought
up and Endorsed was bill to provide
for the appointment by the governor
of state hotel inspector whose salary
is to be paid by tax against the
hotels of the state.
The "nine-foot-sheet bill" which re-
quires that all hotels use sheets Oh
their beds that are at least nine feet
in length, was given the Endorsement
of the organization.
The visitors, 20 in number, were
welcomed to the city by Mayor John
T. Moore and the response was made
by Hon. Roland Ellis, attorney for the
T. p A. Reports were made by Pres
ident ]. R. Broylston, of Augusta, and
Secretary ]. H. Andrews, of Atlanta.
Yesterday afternoon the Oscar Tn
derwood club of Bibb county enter
tanned the visitors with a luncheon at
the Elks club. The visiting ladies
were taken for an automobile ride and
later to one of the local theatres.
1t is probable that Dennis Fleming,
of Albany, will be the next president
of the association, as it is understood
that Jesse Bates, of Macon, will with
draw from the race.
Today, a barbecue was given in
honor of the travelling men.
