Put your cotton in warehouses if

SCHWARTZ BROS. If AVK INSTALL?
ED MODF.ltX SVSTKM.
DrvKMmsklna; Done by Electricity Id
Their Establishment?Said to bo
Only Two Systems of the Kind in
the South.
Surr.tor is always making rapid
strides in industrial progress and oth?
erwise, und every few weeks Rime
thing Is recorded as to her Improve?
ment und enterprise along these lines.
Now, something new comes in the
way of a splendidly equipped electric
sewing machine system.
Schwartz Bros., the well known
lady furnishers and dress makers of
the lower section of this State, have
installed in their large dress-rraklng
department a complete system of
?jewing machines. The machine:; used
oy UM Schwartz Brothers are the
Singer machines. These machines
are arranged on long tables, which
are very convenient for the mantua
makt-is. and each one is operated by
its own motor. The motors are
of the Delhi mak*?. Eeaeh machine
has a one-horse power motor. The
operator has only to nrrunge the
cloth to be worked on, as on any ordi?
nary machine, turn the electric switch
under thefable. and press with the
feet upon the treddle. There is none
of the constant working of the feet up
and down as with the u*ual machine.
These machines can turn out probably
as much work in given time as two
or even three ordinary machines, und
with Just as good results.
Any one can easily see fhe great
saving of labor and time In thp opera?
tion of this electric system and the
bo >n it is to humanity in the saving
of work on the part of the ladies en?
gaged in the operation of these ma?
chines.
It Is said that there is only one
other plant of the kind in the South,
and ?hat is in Atlanta.
Schwartz Brothers feel jutly proud
of their Innovation in this section and
well may they be proud. Only cities
with a business like Sumter and con?
cerns with a trade like this firm could
well afford to Introduce this system.

BhertflTa and Master's Sales Were
Not Heavy for the Season.
IConday was October "aaleday11 ami
it was, also, the Aral aaleaday to
l>r held at the New Court House.
There was not a large attendance at
the sales hut what wai iold brought
fairly good prices.
The sh? ritt's sales conatsted of the
sale of se\?en pieces of property, all in
Butnter townahlp, levied on by the
State for taxes. Theae tracts of land
brought more than the amount of
taxes levied against them, and it is
supposed that the prices paid were
fairly good.
The master's sales were as follows:
Harby et gl, as executors and ad
m Inlet rat >ra of the estate of Horace
Harby, deceased, against Lizzie Dar
gan and Louisa Oayle. Two tracts,
135 1-4 acres and 27 acres. Bought
by Davis D. Moise, attorney, for $250.
This land was in Stateburg township.
S. M. Pierson against Martha Ful
wood, D. W. Alderman & Sons Co.
and John McSween Co. Two tracts, 53
and 10 ucren. Bought by Lee &
Molae, attorneys, for $250.
Marlon Moise against SSlngO Mur
dock, 40 acres. Bought by Marion
Molae, attorney, for $100.
A lot of the old Court House equip

?Src. was sold by the supervisor and
brought, fair prices. Auetlonee Jer

CHINESE COTTON PLANTERS.
Sumter Chinamen Soli Six Rales of
Cotton Prom Their Farm Near the
City. j
Sumter has some verv enterprising
Chinamen in the pewsons of Lum Los i
and his associates, who run a laundry
business on West Liberty street. These
OSlestlals own a farm of about fifty ,
acres near the city and from all at:
Counts are very successful in raising
i
cotton. They sold six bales of cotton :
the other day to Mr. B. G. Gibson.
This is something rather unusual In
this State at least, and shows how all !
i
classes may successfully raise crops
la this county.
Mr. Gibson wanted to have Lum's
picture taken with the co.ton,* but the
celestial shook his head, saying, "Me
no dressee up."
When it comes to food products .the
public demands thejpurest and best that
can be had, and bread being the "staff of
life," requires good Plour to obtain the
best results We.have said a great deal
about the?supei ior quality of our
M i 11 b o u r n e,
but the half has^not been told. Of the
thousands of barrels that we have sold,
we could count on the fingers of one
hand the complaints.
The wheat market continues strong,
and we are selling this Hour today for
less than we can buy it
Butter, Butter, Butter.
It is strange the number of people who
buylSutte.:- from us and their other gro?
ceries elsewhere. The reason is plain,
they have some preference for the oth?
er house, but ^nowhere will you find
Butter to equal our
None Such Brand.
UUU
The Bumter Item is also exercised
about the matter, so as to keep sonn?
good men in that town from butting j
into a hopeless contest. In fact the
time has come for the major to speak.
We can Tu?ar the strain but poorly.
The toga is a line thing and Will no
doubt he sought by quite a numb' r ol
"South Carolina gentlemen," if Maj ?r
Hemphll] should conclude that he !
canr.Gt give the necessary time to th
office.'?Greenville Piedmont.
!
The Piedmont guesses wrong again, i
The Item is not exercised because
some good Sumter man may butt into
the senatorial race, We w ere merely I
trying to do a kindness to those w ho !
have already hutted In. They are al?
ready in the mix-up and are worrying
over Maj. Hemphill's omnloui sib nee.
