SEVERAL ROUTES
WERE INSPECTED.
Some of Which Please Postofice In
spector Arnold.
WILL COMPLETE Task SHORTLY
Believed That Sumter Will be AL
lowed Four or Five Rural Routes =
Jordanyille, Providence, Merrytown
and Yaw are Seen.

Within the past three or four days
Inspector Arnold, of the rural mail
service, has trayersed the greater por-
ton of Sumter county with the view of
locating the several routes to be estab-
lished, and is greatly pleased with
some of them, He will inspect two
others here.
At least four lines, it is thought,
will be given to Sumter county.
Providence, Yaw, Merrytown and
Jordanville have been visited, and
each represents a locality thickly pop
ulated and, besides, are remote from
any railroad,
The nelghborhood north of Plains
has also been traversed, as has that
about Leslie. Next Tuesday Inspec-
tor Arnold will take a turn down in
the Seventeenth district. He has
given no intimation as yet as to the
routes to be reported upon faYorably.
Postmaster Smith thinks Sumter
will get at least four routes.
Even this number would cover a
wide scope of country now remote
from railroads, and where a large pop
! ulat1on would be served with mail to
very excellent advantage.

IT SPROUTS IN THE FIELDS.
Open Cotton is Badly Damaged By
Rains.

Mr.. B, Fl. Jossey, who operates one
of the largest plantations in this coun-
ty, came up from De Soto yesterday
where ne spent two days looking over
his crop. Samples shown yesterday
indicate that what remains of the
crop in that district is in very bad
condition; in fact, almost worthless.
The recent windstorm beat out the
open cotton and this is sproutlng on
the ground. Mr.. Jossey showed a lot
that was filled with sand, white
sprouts and even green leaves. He
says large areas of cotton in that 10
cality is in this condition, and only
what now remains open on the stalk
can be saved when fair weather returns.

STILL ON A DECLINE.
Futures Take a Tumble But Spots
Steady.

The effect of the recent Bureau re-
port and manipulation of the market
was seen yesterday in a further de-
cline of the contract market, though
spot cotton remains firm and steady.
Farmers are not turning loose at
spectators figures.
Opening at decline of five points
yesterday, the downward course was
continued by slow degrees.
January lost twenty-three points
during the day, closing at 9.57. This
is net loss of sixty points for that po-
sition since Tuesday last when it went
as high as 1918.
Better quotations are looked for to-
day by local cotton men.
There was little buying or selling at
any of the warehouses here yesterday.
Farmers are simply holding steady and
will not sell at anything like present
prices. The best offerings yesterday
was 90 cents.
1t will take ten cents to move cotton
out of the warehouses here now.

Mr.. e. II. Butler exhibited yester-

fine as ever grew in the rich hammocks
of the Brazos. Ten years ago he paid
a dollar for two pounds of very fine
nuts and planted an orchard of fifty
trees therefrom. Some of these trees
are already twenty five feet in height
and all are bearing this year for the
first time. Mr.. Buffers orchard is a
beautiful one, and the fifty bearing
pecan trees will be worth a small for

MARKET MINUS MIDDL1NG MEAT.
Sailed Sow a Scarce Article in
ssAmericus.

The great Western delicacy ~ gem
orally known as sailed SOW, or bulk
meat, is a scarce article in Americus
just now. For some reason, possibly
delayed shipments, the supply has run
short and merchants, while supplying
the demand, have no great surplus.
The price is stiff at ten cents, and for
once the value of meat IS greater than
the value of cotton, which is now be-

that they had been at Beacon Heights
Boarding School, at Tuckahoe. which was
broken up on Saturday by DR.. Balch. Of
the Yonkers Children's Society, by the ar
charge OF neglecting the eight boys in
his care. DR.. Balch's descent on the place
was brought about by a concerted COM
plant on the part of the people living in
the neighborhood of the school.
One rainy day during the. week Duffy
went to New York and locked the eight
boys out. They had no place TO go 10.
and those in the vicinity of the school saw
them wandering aimlessly around, shiver-
ing from the cold. The noon hour came
and Duffy did not return, and the boys

NEW FOOTBALL CAPTAIN.
David c. Campbell Elected to Lead
the Harvard Team Next Year.

BOSTON. Nov. 25.-After the Harvard
football team returned to the Yale gym
nasium at the close of the game yesterday
they elected Captain Days successor, who
will lead the crimson team next year. The
choice fell on David c. Campbell. 1902. who
played left end in the game yesterday.
Captain Campbell prepared for the Law
renee Scientific School at Worcester Acad-
envy, where he played tackle and was cap
tain of his team. In his freshman year at
Harvard he played right end and captained
his team. Last year he played left end on
the varsity and was especially noted for
the gift that he showed in diving into an
interference and upsetting ii. He Is six
feet one inch tall, weighs 10 pounds and is
twenty-seven years old. Harvard men feel
that he will make a good leader for the
crimson eleven, since he has already cap
tanned two teams and has had a great
deal of varsity experience.
