Planning a County Exhibit
For Sumter at The Fair

dressed the meeting in interest of a
county exhibit, setting forth the ad-
vantages that would accrue to Sumter
in thus advertising effectively her agri-
cultural resources and manufacturing
interests. Captain Cobb has for many
years been a potent factor in the sue
cess of the state fairs.
He was authorized by the chamber
of commerce to make immediate ap
plication to the fair association for am
pie space for the Sumter county ex-
hibit, and this he has done already.
In years past Sumter was always re-
presented at the Macon fairs with a
fine county exhibit, but not so quite
recently. A return to the old regime
is now proposed and Sumter will send
tc the state fair next fall one Of the
best exhibits in agricultural hall. Far
mers here will be urged to take an
interest and prepare crops during the
spring and summer to be added to the
county exhibit.

SCHOOL FOR ADULTS.

"Peoplc's high schools" as they are called, have been fourishing in Denmark for long time. In that country there are 70 such schools, with 5000 pupils, and one school at Askoy, in South Jutland, has been in existence since 1863. One-tenth of the population of Denmark, if is esti- mated, has passed through these schools, which now are given small state subsidies, though there is no state interference with the institu- ton. The schools are not technical or "practical." They seek only to develop minds on broadly cultural lines. There are no examinations for admission or for leaving; much of the instruction is given by lee lures, and the teacher is given wide latitude.
 Norway and Sweden, it may be added, have experimented success fully with similar institutions.

CHAPTER TX.

On the way to the hotel after they had left the judges house, Broadway tried to tell Bob Wallace what, in deed, was the matter with him. but could Dot, for he bad not the least idea
 Do you really mean to keep the plant?e asked Wallace skeptically.
 Yes, and pass it to my children" " said the dazed young gentleman.
 You haven't any children, you con. founded asst"
 And they'll pass it to their chil- dren." said the coming magnate of the chewing-gum trade.
 T think you're crazy"
 Bob, it's cinch But let me tell you And he tried to, with but slight success.
 Wallace was shrewd young man. "1s It your conscience or the girl that has driven you insane?" he asked
 Pm thinking about Jonesville. My grandfather built this town"
 Well, he made a blamed bad iot Of 1t. Why didn't he build a place a man could get decent drink in wh;ia he was about it?"
 And my father kept it going''
 We'll. he didn't keep it going very fast"
 And now I've got to keep my faith with it. It is sacred duty. I must not abandon it."
 Say" said Wallace, in disgust. Where did you get that stuff? Have you gone out and tried to get decent drink here? This town ought to be abandoned. It ought to be put out of it's misery"
 The trust would close the plant and ruin all these people"
 You'd think they were. first cousins,

pounds.
 Wallace made an effort to sit up and discuss things further with Broad. way, who seemed to be entirely awake, though dreamy in a strange. unwonted way, but there were two arguments against this, the first that gnats and moths swarmed merrily in as soon as the oil lamp was lighted bringing with them more than one mosquito, the sec ond being that he was worn out after long day full of various settlements.
 '1'm going to bed" he finally de- cided.
 Best place for you, Bob, this time of night. Folks who sit up"
 "Oh, shut up! Good night"
 Good night. See you In the morn ing"
 Now, why" asked Wallace, after he had left his friend did that boy seem so glad to have me go to bed? He act ed just as if he wanted to kneel down and pray, but couldn't while vulgar herd like me was looking on. Now, what the devil!"
 He got into bed
 Broadway did not go to bed. Instead he found pen and ink and some of the soft, spongy hotel stationery in drawer of the bare washstand He be- gan work with them slowly, painfully.
 The pen soon failing. he dug from a corner of pocket in his vest the pen cil of which he had been so proud when Pembroke had called on him, and continued. After an hours hard labor for his brain, the pencil, the soft paper and the tongne which he contin- ually thrust into his cheek, he had completed what he thought master piece. He was not sure whether he would speak it, the next day, to Josie,

 She's a nice girl, isn't she?"
 "Is she?"
 Well. how did she strike you?"
 An awful blow"
 An awful blow?'
 Broadway caught himself. He real ized that such talk would not do He tried to dodge the inference. No, no" he protested. T mean her eyes. Her eyes are awful blue'' The judge smiled satisfiedly. ''Ev- eryone in this town is just mad about her.
 They ought to be- said Jackson.
 Have another cigar" the judge sug gested fervently.
 This brought Broadway to his senses. Those cigars! No, thank you. I've got some gum here. But 1 wouldn't mind having another glass of lemonade
 The judge was pleased. Why. eer- tainly, my boy. I'll go and get it my self
 Broadway spoke up hurriedly 'No; ! don't do that Ask Mrs. Spotswood to | make II TOT ne, won you '!
 Sure" said the genial judge And I'll tell her that you asked me to. It'll tickle her to death.'
 At this point Wallace returned. He went to Broadway with his business air exceedingly in evidence.
 Say" he said earnestly, "I've got a real knockout surprise for you, young fellow! Pembroke was waiting at the office of the hotel. That was his man he sent here. He knew we were leav- ing New York before we started. He was telephoned to from the Grand Gen. tral station. That's how skilfully they work in these mad days of frenzied finance.
 He didn't wait to take train-he came by motor, And just to show you what smart little fellow you are for wanting to close at their price at noon today, I, who represented my self as Henry Wilson, your secretary have given them till eleven o'clock to. morrow to close the deal at fifteen hundred thousand dollars.
 .sHe's burning up every telegraph and telephone wire between here ant Cleveland right now, and, unless miss my guess, I'm making you richer by several hundred thousand dollars just proving to you the value of pa tience. Fifteen hundred thousand dol lars, A million and half,'
 He had been leaning tensely forward in his chair. Now he cast himself backward in an attitude of satisfied ease
 What do you think of that?" he asked
 Bob said Broadway slowly. q cant sell this plant"
 You can't!' It was an exclamation of amazement.
 You don't know" said Broadway dreamiiy. You haven't heard. Now. | inst think of what I'd be selling. Here's the thing my grandfather worked for and handed down to my father. and 1 the thing my father worked for and | handed down to me: and it's the thing l that I should work for and hand down TO my children, and then to theirs. and so on and so on.
 Wallace looked at him with incredu- lity too great, at first. for words When they finally came they were eN- plosive. Say" he cried. What the his the matter with you?"
