IIt is learned from good authority
that ter every pref arat ton had been

Ihibit Of live cattle the app lication to-
install it was either refused outri ghtt,

who stroye earnestly but in vain to

and SO that feature Of the proposed

elaborate and expensive preparat ions
for an imposing exhibit Of American

An. elaborate and costly refrigerat-

and it was not sforeseen that any OBJ

for example, was that fresh dressed
beef, etc, should be exhibited only in

as the exhibits were not to be sold

LOCAL RECEIPTS ARE LIGHTER.
Considerable Decline is Shown Every
DaY Now.

Cotton receipts at the warehouses in
Americus are already falling off to
some extent, and the'bel1ef is expressed
that a week hence there will be very
marked difference as compared with
receipts at this time last year. A COM
parative statement made yesterday
showed that up to this time more cot
ton has been received here than at
even date in 1899, but this is account
ed for in the fact that cotton opened
two weeks earlier this year than last,
owing to the excessive drought, and
has been gathered more rapidly. Up
to Oct. 9th last year the Americas
warehouses had received Is, 488 bales
cotton, while at this time receipts are
considerably ahead of these figures.
But at this time last year the fields
were white and picking was at its
height, The reverse is true just now,
and besides there is no top crop this
year to add to receipts, as there was
last season.

INSPECTOR ARNOLD
SURVEYS ROUTES.
Sumter Will Have Rural Mail Deliv-
cry Very Soon.
TO INSPECT SIX ROUTES HERE.
After Considerable Delay in the Els
adjustment of Lines Sumter Is at
Last to Have Rural Mail Delivery
system Will be Excellent,

Postoffice Inspector Arnold reached
Americas Yesterday from Washington
and this morning, accompanied by
Postmaster Smith, will go out in the
country and make a careful inspection
of the several rural mail routes to the
end Of establishing the service at once.
Six rural mail routes will be estab-
lished in Sumter county.
This will give perfect service, and
there is scarcely hamlet or neighbor-
hood that will not soon enjoy the adj
vantage of daily mail.
Only the illness of the inspector or
dered here previously has delayed the
establishment of the mail lines, as told
in the Times Recorder some time
since. Our representative. Hon. q
B. Lewis, has been assiduous IN trying
to have the work pushed forward, and
this trouble alone delayed it,
The coming of Inspector Arnold has
been expected for several daye, and
there will be no further delay now in
the este blishment of our mail services.
Postmaster Smith had previously
planned several routes, but it was nee
essary that these be officially inspect
ed and accepted ere the service could
be put on. There is little doubt but
that all of the six lines selected will
be accepted and carriers soon appoint
ed therefor,
The thanks of the farmers of Sumter
will be extended Mr.. LIT WIS for his Of
forts in getting the service and which,
but for the illness of the inspector,
would have been established long
since,
