At least So, 900 of this debt is due to
interruptions by injunctions and
pumping. The pumping costs S.
887.25, and the local extensions
SO, SIC. 80. This last item is large,
but gratifying, since 1T means a cor.
responding increase in rentals in the
future. Local extensions are made
on the basis that the rentals Shall at
least equal six per cent of their cost.
Aside from the reservoir, the reducing
chamber and ?, 200 feet of main must
be constructed to complete the Orange
brook extension. The superintendent
of water works estimates that these
items will cost 81 1000. While the
reservoir ought to be completed at
once, it may be advisable, under all
the circumstances, to defer it for the
present. There are several cases of
damages for taking water that have
not been settled. The awards of the
city council in these cases mou to

The council had early in July met
the majority of the mill owners and no
serious opposition appeared then to the
proposed extension. But at the time
of the meeting and soon after hostility
began to manifest itself in many WAYS,
and a bill in chancery was sworn to
containing an allegation that the Pc
%titioners had reasons based upon the
action at this July meeting to believe
that the council were acting in oppo-
sition to the wishes of a large major
ity of the voters of the city, and it
was n Of the grounds urged for
granting an injunction. One injunc-
ton was granted, and after a very ex-
haustive discussion before two Judges
of the supreme court, it was dissolved.
Another injunction was asked for up

COUNCIL TALKED OF SCREENS
Vexed Question Is Referred to Ordi-
nance Committee.


The city council is confronted with
another question which gives promise
OF being as prolific of discussion and
debate as was the dog ordinance and
the Pantone light some time since.
1t is the matter of screens in door
ways of certain stores.
In these places mild drinks are dis
pensed, and some of the wise fathers
are probably of the opinion that the
screens ought to be removed that a
full sweep of vision from the outer
battlements may not be interfered
with.
The question was referred to the or
diDance committee and will probably
be reported at next meeting.
BY resolution, the ordinance pro-
hibiting dogs running at large upon
the streets, and which expired last
night, remains of full force until the
council shall deem it prudent to un-
loose these dogs of war" again.
AS the meeting adjourned Marshal
Billy Feagan rippid open half dozen
of his delicious gray melons and invlt-
ed the solons to feast, which they en-
joyed to full extent.

A SPLENDID CROP OF SORGHUM
Now Ready to be Harvested in Sumter
County.

Many of the thrifty farmers of Sum-
ter appreciate sorghum cane as food
for stock, and the crop now ready to
be harvested is perhaps the finest ever
produced here. Mr.. @. @. Hawkins
has field OF several acres, and some
of the stalks are ten to twelve feet in
height The time to harvest the crop
is when the bloom falls from the stalk,
and it should be stacked in the field
and thoroughly dried before being
stored in the barn. An enormous
amount of sorghum can be produced
upon single acre, and when chopped
up it is an excellent feed for cows,
horses and other livestock Many
acres of popcorn planted here this year
will likewise be used as long forage
for stock.

FARMERS COMING TO AMER1cUs
a Great Crowd Will Hear Speakers
Saturday.

Hundreds of farmers ofSumter and
adjoining counties are coming here
Saturday to hear the addresses of Hon.
Pope Brown, president of the State
Agricultural Society, and Hon. Harvie
Jordan, president of the Cotton Grow
ers Protective Association, who will
speak upon the marketing of the next
cotton crop.
The subject is one of great and di-
rect Importance to farmers.
Already the sharks are endeavoring
to hammer prices by reporting that the
acreage in cotton this year is increased
1926, 600 acres in Georgia alone, which
all know is wholly untrue.
When shown this report day or two
ago President Jordan said:
Anybody who will take the trouble
to investigate the least bit knows that
the acreage has been reduced, instead
of being increased. / have been
through nearly every county in this
and adjoining states, and I have stud
led the matter carefully.
I'm my opinion there is a big de-
crease, and the yield will be quite small
in most sections. The farm labor is
not available in the first place for cul-
tivating an increased acreage. In the
next place the wheat, oats and corn
planted on the lands made it impossi-
BILE for more cotton to have been
planted.
ST am looking for II cents cotton in
the fall, in spite of the early tricks of
the bears. "

OFFICE REMOVED TO AMERICUs
Three Operatives in Office of Dis
patcher Here.

From this date the movement of
trains on the Georgia & Alabama divis-
ion of the Seaboard System will be
governed from the dispatcher's Office
here though nnder the general direc-
tion of Mr.. W. r. Beauprle, the newly
appointed trainmaster of the Fourth
division of the Seaboard, with head
quarters in Savannah.
Mr.. S. b. Bennett will be assistant
to Mr.. Beauprie and will have charge
of the Office in Americus.
Mr.. Beaupries appointment as train
master of the entire Fourth division is
already effective. He succeeds Mr.. E.
e. Anderson, who will serve the road
in another capacity as soon as his gen.
eral health will permit.
Mr.. Beauprie has been roadmaster of
the division up to the time of his pro
motion. The position he formerly held
is thus rendered vacant, and there is
some speculation among Seaboard men
as to his successor. Supt. Gabbett has
not yet announced who this will be.
And Americas is once more head
quarters as to train service.
Two additional dispatchers were sent
here yesterday from Savannah, and the
three operators will work eight hours
each. Trains on the main. stem, from
Savannah to Montgomery and on the
Albany and Columbus line will now be
directed from the Office here.
There is some speculation here as to
the duties Mr.. e. E. Anderson will as
sumo when he fully regains his health.
