money BURIED FOR
YEARS is RECOVERED
Savings of Harry Anderson Sent
To Washington in Dilapi-
dated Condition

Harry Anderson. negro, living
at Andersonville, near here, died
recently. leaving besides some land
cash estimated at between $500
and $1,000. The money, which
Anderson had kept buried during
many years, was found in an old
trunk in a cabin which he occu-
pied at Andersonville bv Nose
Anderson, a brother, and Carrie
Anderson, a sister. According to
Nose Anderson who lives on the
farm of Neal A. Ray. chairman of
the board of county commissioners
Iof Sumter county, his brother had
/ his money buried at a secret spot
and would never tell anyone where
| he kept the treasure. Some time
ago when he became i'll, Harry An
derson was seen to carry a spade
from the cabin into the woods near
where he lived, and in a short while
he returned stealthily carrying a
package concealed beneath his coat.
Within few hours &c was seriously
III, and in a short time died. Know
ing he possessed considerable
sum in cash, Nose and Carrie, his
brother and sister, began search
ing for this soon after Harry flu
neral. When the cache was dis
covered within the old trunk Nose
Anderson carried to money to Mr..
Ray, who examined it, finding
therein bills of the denominations
of 500, SIS, so and ST., and motto
ing altogether the absence 70 sic
bills. All of the money, Mr., Ray
states, is very brittle and in a poor
state of preservation, much of ii
being undecipherable, and prac
tically all of it falhn gto pieces
at the touch of human hands. Mr.
Ray estimated the amount contain.
ed in the bundle at between $500
and $1,000, and arranged for Nose
Anderson to carry thu money tc
the Planters Bank of Americas
F.! where Lee G. Council, president OF
that institution, forwarded it tc
Washington. The money is now
speeding its way on toward the
treasury department, where it will
ne examined by experts and Il.
