Mr.. ~. B. Boyle. president of the
W.. 3. Heyle Company notified the
Chamber of Commerce directors last
Tuesday that his company will be pre-
pared in the future. as at present, to
buy all Of the hogs ION the foot" as
we say or dressed, and all of the beef
cattle offered by Sumter county farm
lers. They will pay the highest cash
market prices. and are fully prepared
to take care of the livestock market
situation.
This enterprising firm came to the
relief OF Sumter county farmers last
fall and spring and purchased thou
sands Of hogs when there was little
general market for same.
The Sumter Roller Mills Companv
announces that this new and we'll fin
anced local enterprise is in the market
to purchase all the grain offered at
highest cash market prices. This en-
terprise has the best equipped stor-
age and elevator facilities and side
track shipping in and shipping out ia
ciiities, for handling grain of any plant
in eastern Carolina. They purchased
the splendid four-story Parrot Mill
ing Company plant, 800 South Sum-
ter street, and installed an up-to-d date
Midget Marvel flour mill of fifty bar
rel per day grinding capacity, and find
1T necessary to put in another fifty
barrel mill next spring. They have
been running night and day for some
time. They sell the very best brands
OF hone raised and Sumter ground
brands Of -four. meal, and feedstuffs
They have splendid lot of improved
machinery for grinding corn.
So that the bugaboo of mo market
for live stock and grain has been ex-
termiDsted in Sumter.

DssC d1ee being unayoidably absent
owing to- 6ickness IA his family, and
with Prof. H. n. Brunson. principal
of the Mayesville school.
The object of the conference was to
induce the trustees to have home
demonstration class established as
part of the curriculum of that up-to-
date school system. A satisfactory in
terview was held, and the matter was
postponed until today when Trustee
DesChanaps, and the four other teach
ers OF the faculty can meet and talk
the matter over.
Those who went from Sumter feel
convinced that the Mayesville school
will be among those progressive insti-
tutions Of learning that fully appre-
ciate the educational advantages of
practical knowledge along domestic
science teachings.
Mayesville has one of largest and
best brick school buildings in this
portion of South Carolina. Extra tax
levies were made and additional
teachers added to the faculty of late.
The building and the curriculum and
the faculty are a credit not only to
Mayesville but to Sumter county. The
Mayesville school is in keeping with
the great strides that this hustling lit
tie city has made in municipal and
other lines of progress within the past
three or four years.
Mayesville is the second largest
town In Sumter county and does a
large mercantile, cotton, and fertiliz-
er business. It's people are rsry intel
ligent, progressive, cultured, md many
of the magnificent residences, and
some of the mercantile and banking
houses would do credit to a city of
