Just as the regular song service was
finished Sunday night, Rev. Jones
entered the tabernacle to say fare.
we'll. Mr.. Jones appeared very weak
and leaned on the arm Of Jose Eliot
the Filipino. who has been his faith
full attendant during his illness.
Mr.. Jones briefly informed the con-
gregation that he was to leave for his
home in Montgomery, Ala, Monday
morning as he had been advised by
his physicians to have an operation
performed, and he desired to be at
home at the time. His farewell was
very touching and brought tears to
the eyes Of many, as he feelingly
thanked all for their kind INQUIRIES
during his illness and for flowers
sent and many other acts Of kindness.
He was applauded as he entered the
tabernacle, and as he departed.
In speaking of his substitute, Mr..
Williams. the retiring revivalist stated
that his successor was ably fitted for
the work and trusted all the personal
workers would stand by Mr.. Williams
and that the blessings of God would
be on the meeting.
AT the request of Mr.. Mckenzie all
stood and sang one verse Of God be
With You Till We Meet Again." as a
response to Mr.. Jones' words Of fare
we'll.
Rev. p. p. Carson offered the PRAYER
at the opening Of the meeting and Mr.
mckenzie sang the solo, Precious
Name" Mr.. Williams opening re-
marks were devoted to words of SYM
pathy pertaining to Mr.. Jones.
The revivalist then read fragment
ary verses from Exodus and was in
the midst of most excellent dis
course when the threatening storm
interrupted the meeting. Becoming
alarmed, more than three-fourths of
the congregation arose and left the
tabernacel hurriedly.
Those who heard Mr.. Williams were
highly pleased and his sermons
throughout the week will no doubt be
fruitful.

NOISE DELEON DEAD.
Atlanta Contractor Was Related {,
Sumter People.


Sumter People.
Noise DeLeon, As years old, prom
inent Atlanta contractor, who disap-
peared on August z, 1912, and for
whom a search all over the world
was instituted, resulting in the dis
covery Of Mr.. DeLeon in an Austria
liam hospital, died Monday at the
home, No. Ill East North avenue.
The body was removed to Patterson's
pending funeral arrangements.
Mr.. DeLeon was located about a
year after his strange disappearance,
and relatives went to San Francisco
20 meet him on his way home. He
explained that temporary loss of
memory had caused him to wander
several thousand miles, and that he
had made his way. His only recol-
lection concerned the day he woke
up in Sydney hospital and the events
that followed.
When Mr.. DeLeon left Atlanta he
was the contractor for Fulton coun-
tvs new courthouse. He carried a
large sum of money for an indefinite
stay, going first to visit his brother.
E. w. DeLeon, Of Chicago, president
of the Casualty company of Ameri-
ca, and then announced that he ex-
pected to travel to Saginaw, Mich,
and then plunge into the woods.
Later tho body of a strange man
wes found in Chicago and rumor said
IL was Mr.. DeLeOn, but an investis
sAton showed that the rumor was
unfounded, and the search was con-
tinued.
After Mr.. DeLeon had been away
for months and many had given him
up as dead, his wife received a letter
saying he was i'll in Australia. They
were then living at No. 744 Piedmont
avenue.
When Mr.. DeLeon returned he was
considerably restored in health and
soon he entered again actively into
the contracting business, and landed
number of handsome jobs. He was
the contractor for some Of the largest
buildings in the city before his dis
appearance and enjoyed the conf
dence of all who knew him in the
business world.
Surviving Mr.. DeLeon are his wife
and three small children"

The National Bank of Sumter has
adopted new method of encourag.
ing farmers I'm the diversification OF
crops. The bank has decided to lend
money to farmers on grain as secur-
ity In future. Oats. corn, wheat OF
other grains. suitably stored, will be
accepted as commodities for making
loans to their customers and treated
as any other security on which the
banks have heretofore loaned mon
ey.
This announcement by the National
Bank OF Sumter comes as q radical
departure from the usual banking
routine in the South. where. in the
past cotton has been the only crop on
which a farmer might obtain a loan
from the bank. In their announce
ment the bank states that IL takes this
method Of encouraging the farmers OF
the county In their diversihcation of
crops. a system which was commence
ed on a larger scale this year than
ever before in the history of the
county.
The bank realizes that there Is more
grain raised this year than usual and
II wishes in every way possible to aid
the farmers in realizing on their grain
crops to the best advantage. They
win therefore lend money on the
grain when 1t Is stored and will lend
70 per cent. OF it's value. In case the
farmers wish to hold their cotton, the
receipts from their grain crop will aid
them In doing so. and they then may
be able to dispose of cotton at more
advantageous terms.
Probably the best feature of this
new departure in banking is the stim-
ulation which 1t will give to diversifi-
cation OF crops. for the farmers will
not stick to cotton as their sole de-
pendence. IL they know that they can
get money as readily for their grain
crops, as for their cotton.
