Mr. William T. Stanfield died short
ly before noon Thursday at his rest'
dence here on College street. He was
alone at the time, bis family being
out of the city, and the nature of bis
death can only be surmised by those
who found him there an hour later.
His sudden death was quite ,a shock
to his relatives and many friends
throughout the city.
But an hour before he was down
town, and while still weak from . re
cent illness, talked pleasantly and
rather cheerfully of his condition to
friends he met.
Mr. Stanfield had been quite ill for
the past ten days, and had been in
the city hospital during that time.
Wednesday evening he had sufliciently
recovered to leave the hospital and
had returned to his residence on Col
lege street
Yesterday morning he came down
to the city, but after an hour or two
returned to his home.
Soon thereafter, Mr. F. P. Harrold
who resides next door, was called by
servant, who reported Mr. Stanfield
dead. Mr. Harrold made a hurried
investigation and quickly summoned
other neighbors and also called a phy
sician.
But Mr. Stanfield was beyond hu
man aid. Near his' bedside was a
Phial of acid and a note.

Besides his wife and little daughter,

vived by his aged father, sister and

Mr. J. M. Collum, superintendent of
the Third District Agricultural Col
lege, at Americus, feels more and more
enocuraged as the time draws nearer
for the opening of that educational In.
stltutlon. Evidences accumulate that
there will be a large attendance, and
that when the doors are opened
January 1, there will be more appli
cants than the college can very well
accommodate.
Mr. Collum when asked yesterday
as to the requirements for admission
to the Agricultural College' and the
expenses that would be met, said
"If a girl Is thirteen years of age,
and a boy Is fourteen," they will not
be required to stand an examination
on their literary studies, to enter the
Agricultural School. The school Is
open to practically every boy and
girl who can produce evidence of ear.
nest purpose, and good character.
"Every pupil entering the. school
will by required to deposit with the
Principal at the time of entrance,
twenty-five dollars. The students will
be expected to do practically all the
work about the school; working at
various duties not less than nine
hours each week; A careful count
ad all expenses for board will be kept
for three months, when an estimate
will be made as to what It has cost
to board each pupil'per month, when
any amout left over of the twenty-five
dollars will be credited to the ac
count of board for the next two
months. Pupils will pay only the ac
tual cost of provisions, for .board.
“We can not guarantee the cost, but
from the experience of the Principal
of Agriculture in the Euharlee Ar-
ricultural School during the present
year, who Is our principal, it is be
lieved that the rates will be low. Im
the school referred to, during the win
ter, board was the highest at $4.50 per
month, and lowest during the spring
months, at $3,00 per month.
"Those boys who wish to remain fit
the school during vacation will be hir
ed, and paid wages.
There are about 240 acres of culti
vable land on the farm that will be
planted In the various crops. After
these crops have been harvested, one
half of the net proceeds will be divi
ded among the boys and girls who at
tend the school—really it looks* as II
boys and girls were being hired to
go to school.”
The Board of Trustees has open&I
the school to any boy or girl, regard
less of county. If*Sumter county boys
and girls wish to attend the school,
and they certainly should attend,
then, they should write the Principal,
Mr. Colltyn, at Putnam, at once.
Mr. Collum says that he already has
about twenty-five applicants from the
smallest county In the * district, and
that eight boys and girls from one
school are asking 'to be admitted.
Sumter County boys and'girls should
write Mr. Collum at once before all
the space in the dormitory has beea
taken.
A catalogue, profusely Illustrated,
will be ready for distribution within
the next few weeks. Write Mr. Collum
to-day, Sumter should furnish a larg
er enrollment than any other county
In the district. Each, have to date reg

The floral decorations . were nn-
unusually handsome, white chrysan

very beautiful.
