Haw Mudc ProGMon to Accept Grain Suitably Stored us Commodity ou Which to Make i .onus?Method to Encourage Planter* In DlversWIca tlhn of Crop System. The National Hank of Sumter has adopted a new method of encourag? ing farmers in the diversification of crops. The hank lias drei.led to lend money to farmers on grain as secur? ity in future. Oats, corn, wheat or other grains, suitably stored, will be accepted as commodities for making loans to their customers and treated as any other security on which the banks have heretofore loaned mon? ey. This announcement by the National Bank of Sumter omes as a radical departure from the usual banking routine In tho South, where in the past cotton has been the only crop on which a farmer might obtain a loan from the bank. In their announce? ment the bank states that it takes this method of encouraging the farmers of the county in their dlversiilcatlon of crops, a system which was commenc? ed on a larger scale this year' than ever before in the history of the county. The bank renli7.es that there is more grain raised this year than usual and It wishes In every way possible to aid the farmers in realising on their grain crops to the best advantage. They wifl therefore lend money on the grain when it is stored and will,lend 75 per cent, of Its value. In case the farmers wish to hold their cotton, the receipts from their grain orop will aid thena In doing so, and they then may be able to dispose of cotton at more advantageous terms. Probably the beet feature of this new departure in banking is the stim? ulation which it will give to diversifi? cation of crops, for the farmers will not'stick to cotto i as their sole de? pendence, if they know that they can get money as readily for their grain crops, as for their cotton.

Pana Palladium. Just as the regular song service was finished Sunday night, Rev. Jones entered the tabernacle to Hay fare? well. Mr. Jones appeared very weak, and leaned on the arm of Jose Eliot, the Filipino, who has been his faith? ful attendant during his illness. Mr. Jones briefly Informed the con? gregation that he was to leave for his home In Montgomery, Ala., Monday morning, as he had been advised by his physicians to have an operation performed, and he desired to be at home at the time. His fare'vell was very touching and brought tears to the eyes of many, as he feelingly thanked all for their kind inquiries during his illness and lor flowers sent and many other acts of kindness. He was applauded as he entered the tabernacle, and as he departed. In speaking of his substitute, Mr. Williams, the retiring revivalist stated that his successor was ably fitted for the work and trusted all the personal workers would stand by Mr. Williams and that the blessings of Ood would be on the meeting. At the request of Mr. McKenzie all stood and sang one verse of "God be With You Till We Meet Again," as a response to Mr. Jones' words of fare? well. Rev. P. P. Carson offered the praver at the opening of the meeting and Mr. McKenzie sang the solo, "Precious Name." Mr. Williams' opening re? marks were devoted to words of sym? pathy pertaining to Mr. Jones. The revivalist then read fragment? ary verses from Exodus and was in the midst of a most excellent dis? course when the threatening storm interrupted the meeting. Becoming alarmed, more than three-fourths of the congregation arose and left the tabernacel hurriedly. Those who heard Mr. Williams were highly pleased and his sermons throughout the week will no doubt be fruitful. TO BEAI TfFV Tili' CEMETERY. S|Mt iHi O'Oimittcc \ppolmed to For uiulau?. Plan? tor Making Neeessary and Desirable Improvements. At the annual meeting of the Sum ter Cemetery Association which was held a few days ago the matter of Improving the driveways in the cem? etery was brought up for consider? ation and after some discussion it was decided to appoint a committee to take the proposition under mature consideration and to devise ways and means for making the desired im? provements. The following commit? tee was appointed: W. B. Burns, S. W. Stubbs and, W. B. Upshur. All the driveways in the cemetery are extremely sandy and in bad con? dition generally as well as presenting an unsightly appearance. It is pro? posed that the driveways be clayed and a system of waterworks installed so that each lot owner may have, if he so desires, a water plug on his plot to make it possible to grow plants and flowers successfully. The cemetery can be made a beau? tiful and attractive place, but before this desirable condition can be brought to pass the sandy roadways isust llrst transformed into hard sur? faced driveways with Bermuda sodded borders and water provided to keep the grass, flowers and plants In a growing condition. it Is hoped and believed that all the lot owners and other citizens will be Interested In making the cemetery an attractive and beautiful place and will cooperate with the committee in Oarying out any plans that may be formulated.

"Moise DeLeon, 45 years old, prom? inent Atlanta contractor, who disap? peared on August 7, 1912, and for whom a search all over the world was instituted, resulting in the dis? covery of Mr. DeLeon in an Austra? lian hospital, died Monday at the home, No. Ill East North avenue. The body was removed to Patterson's pending funeral arrangements. Mr. DeLeon was located about a year after his strange disappearance, and relatives went to San Francisco to meet him on his way home. He explained that temporary loss of memory had caused him to wander several thousand miles, and that he had made his way. His only recol? lection concerned the day ho woke up in a Sydney hospital and the events that followed. When Mr. DeLeon left Atanta he was the contractor for Fulton coun? ty's new courthouse. He carried a large sum of money for an indefinite stay, going first to visit his brother, E. W. DeLeon, of Chicago, president of the Casualty company of Ameri? ca, and then announced that he ex? pected to travel to Saginaw, Mich., and then rdunge into the woods. Later the body of s strange man w e found In Chicago und rumor it was Mr. DeLeon, but an Investl* optica showed that the rumoi was unfounded, and the search was con? tinued. After Mr. DeLeon had been away for months and many had given him up as dead, his wife received a letter saying he was ill in Australia. They were then living at No. 74 4 Piedmont avenue. When Mr. DeLeon returned he was considerably restored in health and soon he entered again actively into the contracting business, and landed a number of handsome jobs. He was the contractor for some of the largest buildings in the ^Ay before his dis? appearance and enjoyed the confi? dence of all who knew him in the business world.
