FORTUNE FOR SUMTER FARM
REPORTED SALE OF THE HUGUENIN PLANTATION
Magnificent Estate In Sumter County is Reported to Have Been Sold for
the Princely Sum of $200,000 to Georgia Parties.
The magnificent Huguenin Planta
tion in Sumter county and perhaps the
largest landed estate in Georgia under
cultivation, has just been sold, it is
stated, to Gainesville parties, the deal
being closed a day or two ago.
It is said the sum of two hundred
thousand dollars is the consideration
named in the deal.
While the transaction took place in
Macon where Mrs. Martha Johnston,
who owned the plantation resides, in
formation of the big deal reached
Americus yesterday.
And in realty circles it was discuss
ed with interest.
The Huguenin Plantation comprises
eleven thousand acres of splendid
farming and timber lands, the timber
thereupon being considered the finest
in southern Georg ! a. In point of acre
age it is one of the largest farms in
Georgia.
The purchase, it is said, includes
stock, wagons, and all farming uten
sils on the place.
A COTTON BLAZE IN SUMTER
Ginhouse and Contents on Horne Plantation are Totally
Destroyed by Eire.
A distastrous fire occurred at
noon yesterday on the C. S. S.
Horne plantation eight miles
east of Americus, which swept
away his large ginnery and entire
contents of cotton bales, seed cotton,
and the seed from seventy other bales.
About thirty bales of cotton were
burned, besides the valuable lot of
cotton seed stored there.
The total loss will probably exceed
SB,OOO.
Just how the fire originated those
who were working about the ginhouse
do not know. The fire was first dis
covered in the lint room, and spread
with great rapidity until the building
was completely enveloped by the
flames.
A match in the cotton or a spark
from the engine may have started the
disastrous blaze.
A large number of bales, packed
and ready for market, lay near the
GOMPERS MAY NOT BE
RE-ELECTED NOV. 11
Eight on Him in Labor
Federation.
NEW YORK, October 29.—(Special)
—Prospects for President Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor,
having to fight for re-election, are
good. The Federation will meet Nov.
11.
A contest will be made in the con
vention to knock the re-election of
President Gompers and the present
members of the executive council.
There is a feeling that there should
be new blood among the executive
officers.
The action of President Gompers
and the executive council in suspend
ing the United Brewery Workers of
America for ignoring an order to
surrender jurisdiction over the en
gineers, firemen, coopers and drivers
in the United Brewery Workers is re
sented by several, especially the un
ions with German members.
Meetings have been held by several
unions which are in sympathy with
the brewery workers, and they have
formed a league to demand the rein
statement of the United Brewery
Workers.
With the exception of one term,
Gompers has been president of the
federation for 20 years.

Little of the details of the big deal
are known in Americus, but it was
stated here yesterday that Messrs
Morris and Ferr, both north Geor
gians, are the purchasers, and that
the new owners were already in pos
session of their vast estate.
Official confirmation will be given
when the deeds are recorded.
The Huguenin Plantation lies for
miles along the Flint River, sixteen
miles east of Americus, and is a mag
nificent property. The original set
tlement was made in the “early for
ties” by John W. Cowart, a pioneer
settler, and prominent in affairs here.
He it was, it is said, who built the
fine old mansion there, and still in
excellent condition.
Much interest is manifested in
Americus regarding the sale of this
fine old plantation and the intentions
of the purchasers as to its operation
or possible subdivision.
gin. house, anil while a few of these
were rolled away the greater portion
burned, so rapidly did the fire spread.
In all about thirty bales were entirely
consumed.
The cottonseed alone was worth
S7OO or perhaps SSOO.
Aruthur O'Quinn, a young man em
ployed about the gin, and the young
son of Mr. Horne were both very
severely burned while attempting to
save the blazing cotton bales from
total destruction. Their injuries were
said to be quite serious.
Mr. Horne had no insurance upon
his property and the loss, therefore,
is complete. The cotton and seed
burned, together with the building, a
very large and substantial structure,
may run the total loss to SB,OOO or
even more.
Employes were at work there at the
time, but the fire spread so rapidly
that nothing could he saved.
BISHOP PRAISES
CHURCH UNITY HERE
Censures Wrangling of Eng
lish Editors.
LONDON, Oct. 29.—(Special)—The
Bishop of London, preaching at Pad
dington Sunday, said:
“There are several lessons I
brought back from America. There
is far greater generosity, love and
trust between bodies of Christians and
between schools of thought in the
same church there than is here. It
was like another atmosphere to pass
from the wrangles of Great Britain in
to an atmosphere where they are un
known. I found that the bitterness
which disgraces the church at home is
unknown in the United States al
though there are conscientious differ
ences there.
“It was quite a shock, amid the love
and harmony there, to take up Eng
lish newspapers and read the reports
of the church congress here to find
the eternal wrangling which is going
on to-day and which has been going
on for fifty years.
“And then what services we had out
there! Talk of lively services, talk of
a mechanical ritual! Why, I have
heard the rafters shake with praise,
and there was no sneaking home af
terward, dispirited and discouraged.”
The Bishop of London is the one
who defeated President Roosevelt in a
tennis contest while he was in Amer
ica.
