START LAYING BRICK
IN A FEW DAYS NOW.
Basement Digging en High
School Nearly Over.
Building Will Be Model
One in Each and
Every Respect.
The laying of brick on the new
High School building will hpgin In the
latter part of this week or the first of
next week.
The excavating for the basement of
the school building, which means the
excavating of the larger part of the
area occupied by It to a depth of some
feet, Is about completed. A great
quantity of earth has been removed
and used to advantage on some of the
neighboring streets.
Unless weather conditions Interfere
the work of laying the sub-foundations
and the walls of the basement will
proceed with considerable rapidity.
The contractors are Intent bn pushing
the work as quickly as possible.
The basement is an essential part
of the plan for the new high school
home. Two large front rooms In It
will be suitable tor the chemistry
class or other work along
special lines , and could be
utilized to advantage fo/' manual
training if at any time that depart
ment Is added to the school.Curricu
lum. Then, too, in rainy weather a
large part of the basement can, he nti, ‘
Ized for play purposes at recess time.
In the basement, too, are the toilet
rooms, the fuel and heating apartment,
and the ventilating plant. , '
Tohse who have studied'the plans
for the new school and are acquainted
with similar structures elsewhere In
Georgia state emphatically that while
there may be more costly buildings In
some other cities, and some of much
larger size, there are none that will
be better adapted for the work or that
will show more attention to the scl
ence of lighting, heating and ventila
tion than the Amerlcus building. It
will really be a gem in Its way and
one that other cities of the same size
as this can well study to their ad'
vantage.
BUTTES IS STILL STRONG I
LIKELY WILL GO HIGHER
Amerlcus Will Pay More for Western
Griddle Grease. '
Amerlcus butter consumers, who, as
always, get the bulk of thely'supply
from the West, along with their meat,
mules, eggs, flour, meal and other
household necessities, will continue
to pay top prices for butter. Optimistic
housewives, who expect the price of
butter to drop from 40 cents to 25
cents a pound as the summer ap
proaches, are between 7 and 10 cents
off on their guess, according to mem
bers of the Elgin, ill., Board of Trade,
who establish butter prices ,fpr the
middle west every Monday hflernoon.
Every spring the quotations of the El
gin board drop from 30 to 40 cents
wholesale to between 20 and 25 cents.
This year, creamery men decays, there
will be no decided drop In the market.
A 30 cents wholesale quotation is pre
dicted. This means butter at the. gro
cery stores at 35 cents.
A woman wouldn’t be willing to get
ild even to cash in an endowment

PENSIONS ARE PAID TO
THE VETS OF SUMTER
Checks Are Being Distrib
uted Here.
Seven thousand four hundred dol
lars will be distributed In checks to
day by Judge John A Cobb of the
court of ordinary to the Confederate
veterans and widows of veterans as
pensions for the current year. And
the checks will be fully appreciated
by many who are much in seed.
The fall amount, 37,400, was re
ceived yesterday by Judge Cobb and
deposited in the Planters Bank, on
which he gives his Individual check
to each pensioner.
Several who called upon him yes
terday were thus paid their checks,
while others will call today.
Judge Cobb is thus enabled to make
prompt payment by having filled out
all of the 124 checks before the money
arrived, thus saving time In clerical
work. When the money was put In
bank be was ready that moment to
Issue checks.
As stated, there are 134 pensioners
on the Confederate rolls of Sumter
county this year.
Of thla number of pensioners In
Sumter 77 come under the head of in
digent veterans and receive the stipu
lated sum of 360 each. There are 9
disabled veterans, who receive sums
varying according to injury; 23 Indi
gent widows and 15 widows whose
husbands died in the war.
These widows of Confederate sol
diers likewise receive 360 each.
During the past year the number of
pensioners was 128, but during 1909
six of the old soldiers, heroes of the
sixties, passed away, one widow dying
likewise. This year three new names
are added to the pension roll, thus
making the total number 124, or four
less than laat year.
Captain Cobb makes every effort to
serve the veterans efficiently, and does
a great deal of hard work In behalf of
his old comrades. ,

AS MEMORIAL TO HUSBAND.
Mrs. G. M. Byne, for many years a
resident of Amerlcus, but more recent
ly of Albany, proposes building a
church as a fitting memorial to her
husband, the late Col. G. M. Byne. It
Is said that the memorial will be
erected In the northern portion of Al
bany to be known as “The Byne Me
morial Church.* A movement has
been on foot for some time by a large
number of Baptists living In that sec
tion of Albany to organize a new
church, and the generous offer of Mrs.
Byne will Insure the success of this
movement. The Bynevllle Mission has
been in flourishing condition for sev
eral years past and the Idea Is to have
the new church absoro this mission.
