WILL REPLANT
FINE ORCHARD
NEAR AMER|CUs
WARE-PR0GRESS WILL BE RE-
STORED SOON.

The sale the past week of the fine
peach orchard and thousand acre farr:
of the Ware-Progress Orchard Co., as
effected by the owner, George C. Rein
ecker of New York, to local parties
is a subject of congratulatiin, as ii
means the restoration and rehabilita-
tion of that enterprise and the re-
planting fthe once magnificent or
chard with its hundreds thousand
peach trees which in the past few
years, has suffered somewhat from
neglect and deterioration.
Thousands of new trees will be
planted this fall, the trees now there
will be put in prime condition, and
eventually the orchard will again be
come great shipping point. The can
merry there will be put in commission
again, and the entire place brought up
to state of perfection!
The history of the Ware-Progress
Co. farm is interesting, not only To-
cally, but to investors in nearly every
state in the Union, as well as in othe"
lands beyond the seas.
1t was established eight or ten
years ago by Ohio people who, after a
few years, organized great corpora
ton with capital stock of several hun
dred thousand dollars. The farm and
it's possibilities" were extensively
advertised and exploited and it is said
something like 100000 of the capital
stock was sold to investors through
out the United States and Canada as
we'll.
Even from the Philippines people
sent money for investment in the
Ware Progress Orchard Co. in Sumter
county.
But the investment was not a prof
table one, and in the adjustment Of
its affairs the capital stock was
wiped out, and the investors lost
what they had put into the venture.
The property was sold recently by
George C. Reiniecker, who 1t is sait,
had acquired individual ownership.
Parties here who few days ago
bought the fine farm and orchard
will greatly improve the property and
make it model show place in Sum-
ter county.
The farm of 1000 acres is traverseG
by the Central Railway, and there is
station and fine improvements upon
the place.

how many of the changes will be

The women of the city are not wag

the proposed charter amendment is
