And Numerona Other* to Follow Shortly—
The Purchaser* and the Price Paid—An.
other Brick Block to be Kreeted—More
Houiee Needed.
In an interview with Mr. M. Callaway,
published in The Times-Recohdeii yes
terday, that gentleman said among other
things that there was considerable activ
ity in city real estate, and that a number
of deal* were on the tapis.
That ho was not far from right in his
prediction was shown yesterday in the
sale o. two or three desirable properties,
to say nothing of several other trades
that lack nothing but the signing of the
deeds to make their consummation
certain.
Among the sales reported yesterday
was that of a beautiful residence lot on
Jackson street, olT the north side of
Capt. W. M. Hitt’s property. The lot
has a frontage of sixty feet and brought
$1,000. Mr. J. W. Stallings was the
purchaser, and will at once begin the
erection of a very handsome residence
thereon.
Another desirable piece of store prop
erty also ohanged hands, Mr. Walter
Brown purchasing from the Americus
Investment Company the two stores on
Lamar street, at present occupied by
Charles Sohrlrer and Sim Jenkins re
spectively. Mr. Brown got a bargain in
his purchase, paying only $4,500 for this
desirable property.
He bought It merely as an investment,
the price put upon it proving too tempt
ing to bo resisted. In a short while the
building will be very much Improved
and made aa desirable for business as
any in that portion of the city. As evi
denee of the fact that the purchaser got
a bargain, he refused a profit of $500 on
the trade an hour afterwards.
Among other substantial improve
ments contemplated In central property
la the erection of a handsome brick
block by Mr. L. G. Hudson, on his valu-
able vacant property corner of Lee and
Jefferson streets. Mr. Hudson has his
plans almost matured, and If he fully
decides to build may order the work
started almost any day.
The proposed building will be two
stories, with some three or four com
modious store-rooms on the first door.
The second floor will be fitted up for
offices and sleeping apartments, for
which there is always such great de
mand in Americas, and already Mr.
Hudson has had many applications
from parties wanting rooms there.
All of which bears out the oft re
peated statement of Tue Timks-Ke-
coHDEit that there are not nearly
enough houses in Americus to accom
modate the pcoplo who are anxious to
come here, and who do oome, even
though they are forced to room around
town over stores and get their meals as
best they can. More houses are a ne
cessity, and the sooner they are built
the sooner will the olty's population
grow as It has never beforo done.

THE TROUBLE SETTLED
And the Members of Btsff Sprier* Church
la Harmony Once More.
And now it Is told that peace once
more reigns among the membership of
Bluff Springs Primitive Church, at An-
dcrsonville, and that the members
thereof can use as many lightning rods
as they desire.
About two weeks ago Tub Times-Re-
coiideu published a statement to the
effect that one of the members of this
church had subjected himself to very
severe criticism by putting lightning rods
on his barn and dwelling, and that the
church proper had been called upon to
investigate this seeming act of defiance
upon his part of the will of the Almighty,
Since then it has transpired that it
was not the act of putting up the rods
that caused the censure of the flock, but
the fact that two or three of the mem
bers, as well os the pastor, had defied
Providence by having their lives insured.
One member of the church, particu<
larly devout, thought that it was hardly
the proper thing to combat the will of
God In this manner, and thereafter re
fused' to hold communion with these
brethren of his church, and accordingly
held himself aloof until the case could
be heard by the church in conference.
A day or two ago the whole affair was
referred to the arbitrament of tile mem
bers of the church In open conference,
and the matter settled to the entire sat
isfaction of all concerned.
The members of Bluff Springs church
are among Sumter’s best citizens, and
they regret that tills little matter at-
tained such publicity and In the manner
that It did, inasmuch as the pastor and a
number of the members have lightning
rods on their houses put there for pro
tection and not In defiance of Divine
power.

The following conversation was over

day evening, we learn of the destruction
of one of the numerous big mills along

The mill was located near Milan, and
was the property of W. T. Wilcox. The
entire plant was burned, together with
two box care and acoal car whleh stood
on a siding near by.
The fire was supposed to have been
accidental, and resulted in a loss of about
$4 000 to the owners of the mill, on
which there was no Insurance. Several
thousand shingles were also burned.

The number of regular rending members

Increase of population In the city, has not
added to the Interest In the library.
This mu«t be due to ihe fact that the bene
flta we offlsr to reading members Is not fully
appreciated by our cltlsens. Borne active
steps should be taken by our regular mera
bers to Increase the number of reading mem
bers.
An a-live canvass of the elty by a 00m

will result in a large Increase of member

All of which is respectfully submitted.

It does not matter how you spell
it—it sounds the same whother
you say Cash or Kush, and in
these times it works wonders. We
know whereof we speak, for lo, in
these last few days onr buyer has
returned from the northern mar
kets and we know what wonders
Hash has worked there, and yon
shall know what wonders Hash
shall work here. This will apply
to small e very day trifles as well
as to large specialties.
Do yon use matches? Don’t
yon pay 6 cents for two boxes
containing two hundred each?
Well, Butler & Berry sell the same
matches at 1 cent a box. Think
of matches at 1 cent a box!
Maybe yon don’t nee clothes
pins, but maybe when you remem
ber that other stores charge ten
cents a dozen for them, and yon
find out here that Butler & Berry
sell clothespins for 1 cent a dozen,
you will realize that the aforesaid
Butler & Berry are “Cheap Folks”
all the time in every particular.
How we have been quietly pre
paring for you and the Berry sea
son-we can show you another
wonder that Kash has worked.
Think of-beantifnl berry dishes—as
clear as crystal—as bright as dia
mond—not cut gloss of course—
but for three cents each—yon have
priced the same for 50o. a set-
three cents "each at Butler <fc
Berry’s.
There’s a new wrinkle in onr

are weloome to the choioe. There
isn’t any money in the deal for ns
—but then yon know Us a dandy
advertisement. $2.70 for an iron

When'yon oome down town
again, look in at the additional
oounter room we have made—
Glassware, Ornaments of all kinds
—and Lamps—why there’s stacks
of Lamps. Speaking of Lamps—
did yon ever price a Student’s
Lamp at any other store?—asked
yon $6.00 for one, didn’t they?
We have been getting $4.60 at the
Artesian Corner for them oar-
selves. We have . them now—we'
have lots of them—the fact was—
we had to bny lots of them—bat
this lot in to sell for $3.00—think
of it—a genuine Student’s Lamp,
$8.90.
