oped as placer, and the famous At
lantic Gable, one of the richest gold
mines ever known, was uncovered.
The stage road wound up the canyon
past Mr.. Levengood's front door, and
his home at first from his hospitali-
ty, became perforce, as traffic in
creased, stopping place for the way
farers. None was ever turned away;
if they had the price, it was well; if
not, they might pay when they came
his way again.
Helped Start Anaconda
In 1883 party of surveyors asked
for accommodations at the Levengood
home, and soon it became known
they were measuring the waters of
the creek and were laying out a
townsite down on the Glover and the
Vineyard ranch. Then came car
penters who began work on a flume,
and shortly after that camp was es-
tablished wher now stands the city
of Anaconda.
One of the leaders in the new COM
munity was Peter Levengood; was it
advice to the newcomers, was it a
lift on the journey, a lodging or a
luCdl, u0 W do bAO AOSdl QloOt Ph1AOo-
opher and friend, and of later years
the patriarch of the valley. He knew
when the hottest day and when the
coolest, he knew the year of the big
snow and spring when the floods
came. He could tell who was the
road commissioner or the sheriff in
any year from 1857 to the present,
and was in short, the encyclopedia of
the upper valley. He never held an
office and never sought one, but was
ever and consistently Democrat. In
his opinion, Henry Clay was the
greatest statesman who ever lived,
and there never was a president of
the United States so wise as Andrew
Jackson.
He and all of his family belonged
to the Christian church, of which he
was a staunch supporter during his
entire lifetime.

Peter Levengood, So who came
across the plain in 1854 Win an
OK team, locating on a ranch In the
Deer Lodge valley, and VINO ned
few days ago, left II descendants,
He was one of the first settlers
of this section of the state, and en-
loved a wide acquaintance among
Montana's pioneers.
Mr.. Leyengood was born in Pendle-
ton county, Kentucky, December ~
1882. where his father before MN
was a pioneer of the dark and bloody
ground, living in fort near the site
of the present city of Lexington. The
fort was a necessity in those days Tor
nrotection from hostile Indians.
Peter Levengood removed from
xentuckv to Scotland county, Mo-,
in 1859 and from there, three years
later. to Van Buren, county, IOWA.
where he was for few years resi-
dent of a locality known as vernon
prairie. In 1854 he came 10 Moi
tana with an OK team by way OF the
platte river and the Bridger route
and the train had several brushes
with Indians and endured many
hardships.
Was in Butte in 1865
He spent his first year IN montana
mining and running saw mill IN the
Ruby valley, but in June OF 1863 was
at the Silver Bow placer digglngs,
and in French gulch the latter now
a forgotten camp, while the former
expanded to be the foundation OF the
citv of Butte. A saw mill in the Mill
creek valley occupied his attention
for a few months before he finally
selected the place for his home at
the mouth of Warm Springs canyon,
where he built the frontier nome ana
established the stage station. his
wife, who had remained behind IN
ST. Louis, joined him here, and the
Levengood family and home was one
of the first local community centers.
They were in Anaconda when that
citv was founded by Marcus DAILY and
saw the town, now city, through all
the progress to the present.
BIazed Trails early
One of the trailblaZers in Montana
was Peter Levengood. In the spring
of 1854 his restless longing for
frontier led him to take transporta.
ton with train of OK teams bound
westward. Thus he came to virginia
City, Mont, over the Bridger route,
fighting with hostile Indians on the
way and encountering many dangers
of the wild west.
Finally and for all he settled down
on a ranch, still known as the LeVen-
good place, about five miles west OF
Anaconda. That was in 1857.
Then up at the head of the canyon

Body To Be Taken To Gordon
Tuesday For Burial In Gene

Americus was shocked this morn
ing when it became known that one
of hen splendid young business men
had died suddenly at his home in
this city.
Although having been in i'll health
for sometime, his host Of friends
in Americus was unprepared to learn
that death had come so suddenly to
DR.. Clarence R. Carswell proprietor
OF the Americus Drug company, who
passed away at his home on South
Lee street at 7:45 o'clock, from a
hemorrhage, while yet in bed.
Medical aid was quickly summoned,
but came too late to bring relief to
the sufferer.
DR.. Clarence Carswell was 43
years of age, having been born and
reared at Gordon, Ga, where his
father, two brothers and one sister
now reside.
DR.. CarsWelI had been a resident OF
Americus for twelve years. Was held
in high esteem by all with whom he
came in contact, having at one time
been a resident of Moultre, later on
the road in a travelling position, he
returned to Americus to make this
city his home.
DR.. Carswell married Miss Ruth
! Davis, Of Alamo, Ga, who survives
Besides his wife, DR.. Carswell is sur
VlVed by the following relatives, his
father, G. B. Carswell, Gordon; a
sister, Mrs. D. L. Wright, Gordon;
and five brothers, R. NJ. Carswell,

chairs in his office and in the front
parlor across the hall.
The only bit of formality I OBJ
served was that We all rose, as a
token Of respect and greeting to the
little man.
How Coue Looks
Coue himself is bit over 60, with
fresh pink complexion and silveiy
cray hair, mustache and beard. His
dark eyes twinkle with good humor,
with tolerance, with comprehension,
and with physical, mental and moral
well being.
Years ago he was a pharmacist.
Tken he evolved his theories of how
to help us heal ourselves of many
ills. He retired from his pharmacy
and has been freely spending HIM
self on the new work ever since.
Here in Nancy-except when
traveling-on Mondays and Fridays
he has open house for all comers,
natives and foreigners.
On these days he has two clinics
in the morning and two in the after
noon. SO that for six solid hours
he is on his feet, talking, demonstrate
ing, inculcating his principles, and
preaching a doctrine of hope
There Is No Formally.
There is in his clinics neither the
formality of a new religious, onr Of
the old practice of medicine.
The little stockily built man,
dressed in his simple dark gray suit
and black tie, walks in, mods bright
ly to all about him and then lois
comfortably up against the hail
door.
The first day I was there, over in
on corner, narrowly watching him,
was Lincoln Steffens, getting ma
terials for a magazine article about
Coue. And on the other side was
the famous American sculptor, Jo
Davidson, making a clay model for
bronze bust of Coue, which is
shortly to be exhibited in Paaris.
He Is Thrifty Smoker
Coue paid no more attention tc
them than he did to the humble5t
peasant in the room. He is totally
without narrow self-consciousness

SUMTER FARMERS
SELL MEAT HOGS
Sales At Americus, Plains And

Average Price Yield $7.16

Six carloads of meat hogs sold in
three cooperative sales last week
netted Sumter county farmers ap-
proximately $1,000, Sales were held
respectively at Americus, Plains and
Leslie, and the average price obtain
ed was $7.16 per hundred weight.
At Americus, three cars were sold;
at Plains two cars, and at Leslie one
car.
North Carolina butchers were the
purchasers at Leslie, while the Hall
Commission company, at Moultrie Sc
cured the offerings at both Plains
and Americus. The six cars averag-
ed 17,5000 pounds each, and the hogs
ed 1850 pounds each, and the hogs
standing offering disposed Of con-
stltuted 35 barrows sold by c. c.
Hawkins at the sale in Americus.
These barroWs were between Z and 8
months old, yet averaged 218 pounds,
or approximately rs pounds heav-
lier than other hogs included in the
offering All of them were pure
bred Duroc Jerseys, culled from the
Hawkins show herd, and handled in
the same manner as meat hogs in
preparation for market.
Many farmers participating in the
sale remarked upon the unusual re-
suits obtained by Hawkins, his bar
rows demonstrating conclusively the
advantage OF rna.ng pureb:.I hogs
even for meat purposes. Many hogs,
not pure bred, of the same age as
Hawkins barrows, averaged in
weight only 100 puonds.
