Americas, Ca. June 29.-The Third
District Convention OF Georgia Masons
will assemble in annual conclave in
Americas, July %, the session lasting
three days. Masonic lodges in each
of the thirteen counties comprising the
Third Congressional District will send
delegates, and fully 300 visiting Ma
sons are expected here as guests of
Americas Lodge No. -, and Council
Lodge No. SO. Many prominent in Ma
sonry from other portions of the state
will likewise attend. A big barbecue
feast will be a feature of the occasion.
Americas is going to celebrate the
Fourth as usual. There will be a gen.
eral suspension of business, while a
military parade and sham battle in the
afternoon will add to the interest of
the occasion, while there will be pic
mics and barbecues at the several re-
sorts near the city
The Americas Light Infantry has just
had completed one of the best rifle
ranges in the state, and will have it
declared an official range. 1t has a
length of 600 yards, and is equipped
with revolving targets and all appH-
ancess required TO make 1t in every
way complete. The several companies
of the Fourth Regiment will be invited
to have target practice here at an
early date.
Rev. Leray C. Henderson, for six
years pastor of the Presbyterian
Church here, has accepted call to the
church at Griffin, and will go to that
field in July. Ills successor here has
not been selected.
The crep prospect in Sumter is very
good up to this time, though rain is
needed. The prospect for a corn crop
is the best in years, but unless it rains
within week the yield will be de-
creased very considerably. Lice have
attacked the cotton, but the plant Is so
far advanced now that the insect can
do it but little harm.
The ordinary of Sumter county will
be asked to call a local option election
at an early date, and the voters of the
county will again vote wet" or dry"
sometime in August. The county has,
supposedly, been dry for the past four
years, but the enormous sale of whis-
ky here, Illegally, induces the belief
that such prohibition" is fiat fail
ure, and the belief is expressed that
conditions will be changed by the next
election.
County Treasurer John E. Sullivan
is critically i'll, and 1t is feared that he
cannot recover. He is 70 years of age
and prominent as Mason and citizen.
