PfAGHES IN PLENTY IS
PROSPECT IN SUMTER
Mr. Joseph Henry Daniel, ore of
Sumter county's best known and es
teemed citizens, passed away Tues
day morning at an early hour at his
beautiful country home west of Am»r-
icus. The end came quite unexpect
edly, and was a shock to his family
and many friends.
Acute rheumatism of the heart, it Is
supposed, caused the death of Mr.
Daniel, as he had been suffering from
rheumatism during the past several
days.
Yesterday morning he arose early,
as has ever been his custom, and gave
directions regarding work upon the
farm. Suddenly he was seized with
a pain 1 nthe region o fthe heart and
expired ere his physician arrived.
Information of the death of Mr.
Daniel was received In Americus with
deepest regret among hundreds here
who esteemed him highly.
A citizen of Integrity and high char
acter, just and honest In all his deal
ings, his death will prove a loss to tho
community in which he has so long
resided. He was a native of this sec
tion and nearly all of the sixty years
of his useful career were passed here
In Sumter. •
His life was devoted to agricultural
pursuits and In this direction, as in
others, he achieved success. For sev
eral years ho was county commission
er of Sumter, and also chairman of
the board of trustees of tho Third
district Agricnltural College here.
But It Is In the home circle as hus-
Jband and father, and In the Baptist
church at Friendship, which he loved
so well, that Mr. Daniel will be miss
ed most.
For a long number of years Mr.
Daniel as been a consistent member
of that church, and the funeral serv
ices, conducted jointly by Rev. R. L.
Bivins, Rev. Mr. Knowles and Rev.
Mr. Carter will take place there
this afternoon, the interment being in
the cemetery near the church.
Mr. Daniel is survived by his wife,
three daughters, Mrs. James Walker,
Mrs. T. M. Everett and Miss Amzie
Daniel; four sons, Messrs. H. O. Dan
iel, Claude, Corley and Eugene Daniel.
Four sisters are also among tho near
est surviving relatives,
demise.
The funeral services will take place

All over Americus, and especially
in the residence sections, are evidences
of thrift and rapid Improvement of
prosperity.
Four hundred thousand bearing
peaclitrces in the orchards within a
three mile radius of Americus, nnd
among the best in the magnificent
peach belt of south Georgia, promise
excellent results this year. Every tree
is in the pink of condition and gives
promise of bearing a fine crop.
Such are the gratifying reports giv
en the Times-Recorder by orchard
men, several of whom were In Ameri
cus yesterday.
Captain C. W. Raymond, proprietor
of the Raymond orchard here, states
that his trees are in the pink of con
dition and the outlook altogether
promising. There are one hundred
thousand trees In his orchard.
The same gratifying reports are
made concerning the Ware-Progress
orchard of one hundred thousand
trees, adjoining the Raymond orchard
and in full trim.
These two orchards are among the
handsomest in- Georgia and are reach
ed by the Aniericus-Smithville road,
the finest highway In South Georgia,
while the Central Railway passes
through both orchards, thus facili
tating shipping arrangements during
the busy fruit season.
The Wqrdell orchard of 25,000 trees
as well as the Hansford orchard near
It are In excellent trim, each promis
ing a good peach crop.
The Bagley-Ray orchard of two hun
dred thousapd fine bearing trees and
within two miles of the city limits Is
being put In trim for the anticipated
good crop. Supt. Scott states that the
outlook for an abundant yield
peaches thl3 sdason was never better
In February.
A large force is employed there
keeping the trees in order.
The Bagley-Ray orchard shipped
about fifty cars of peaches last year,
despite the short crop, besides sup
plying a large quantity of fruit to
the canning factory here.
This season tho company will de
vote all energy nnd attention to the
peach orchard, cutting out canteloupes
and watermelons, of which large crops
were grown last season. Attention to
200,000 peach trees will keep tho en
tire forces busy, while net results may
aso he Increased.
Several thousand trees have boon
killed here recently by the San Jose
scale, the destructive insect that plays
upon them, but orchard men are fight
ing It successfully.

Fools and Philosophers Are Not In
Same Class.
Columbus, Ga., Feb. 1.—In an able
sermon at St. Luke church, Dr. Bas-
com Anthony, the pastor, paid his re
spects to the "fads” in the public
schools of Georgia, declaring that the
philosopher and the fool had no busi
ness In the same class. In other
words, he objected seriously to the ef
forts on the part of the public schools
to make the same thing out of ev

might possess, and he spoke out plain
ly his views on the numerous "fads”
which had recently crept Into the
