It having been impossible for me
to see each one personally and ex?
press my sincere appreciation of the
sympathy and kindness shown me
and my family at the time of the
death of my wife; and being unwil?
ling that anyone should think me
unmindful or unappreclative of the
numberless acts of kindness of which
I was the recipient, I take this
means of recording n>y thanks to
the i.pie of Sumter and to as?
sure them that their sympathy and
friendship has helped me to bare
the greatest sorrow that has come lo
no- in life, i raallie now more than
ever before the real goodness and
kindliness of the people amongst
whom I live Sincerely.

HONE A PATH LYNCHING AGAIN.
Inquest Over Body of Jackson Negro
May be Reopened This Week.
Anderson, Oct. 22.?As a result of I
a conference between the solicitor of |
this circuit and the coroner of Ander- j
Ii n county, the inquest over the body
of William Jackson, the negro who
was lynched on October 10 for an
asnault on a 10-year-old daughter of
a leading citizen of Honea Path,
probably will be reopened this week.
The negro was twice identified by the
girl before he was lynched, but great
pressure has been brought to bear on
the cfPcials by the local ministerial
union and the press of this section of
the State. The original verdict of
the coroner's jury was that the ne
irro came to his death by gunshot
wounds received from unknown per?
sons, and it is generally believed the
reopening of the case will fail 10
^rlng out any material evidence
I against the persons composing the
mob.

Real Estate Investments.
The foundation of all wealth is
tend and the man who buys land Is
putting his money In the safest pos?
sible place. Some people assert
that the price of land Is nov/ too
high and these same people have
been saying this same thing for
twenty years and all the while land
values have been increasing. The
next twenty years will see an even
greater increase in values and those
who will buy now will reap a reward.
Those who are satisfied that land Is a
good investment are always on the
look out for bargains in real estate
and to them the advertisement of the
John Clack Realty Company wile be
interesting.
Less cotton was sold on the local
market Saturday than any other
Saturday since the season has open?

the fact that the price of cotton waa

3,700 for the week.
