From her childhood the girl had felt
. vague longing to be controlled. Hers
was the woman heart that craved the
word Of authority now and then; and
yet she had gone through some twen-
ty years In q world where all sorts
Of words abound and had not met
that kind. She knew Just whore the
trouble lay. She had been shielded
from it-unwisely, foolishly-by a
too tender family of male relatives.
She had been kept out Of her right,
as 1t were. When she merited rebuke
abe got only gentle renonstrance;
and when she needed to be led, she
was followed instead, sometimes far
in folly.
But now that she had come 70 the
city to earn her living. she meant to
change that. Her brother was away
from home ON q business trip and

and grins-quiet. ghostlike grins--
went the rounds when the confidential
clerk squared things each time out sf

On Saturday Mr.. Barney Blevins ar.

his employees before him. It seemed
to be weekly custom. He began at
the top of the line and went impair.

1t is possible to arrive at any remedy
for this; but, If it is, the direction IN
which l should look for the remedy
would be to make every soldier work
at some other trade for certain NUN

of hours mignt be shorter in the sum
mer, when there is more opportunity
for training and military exercise. and

At the meeting of the board of coun'
ty commissioners Monday steps were
taken looking to the substantial I'M
provement of the old Jail property,
corner of Prince and Forsyth streets.
The county owns handsome and sub
stantial building and large grounds
there, formerly used as a jail, and will
at once enclose a portion or all of it
with a high brick wall similar to that
erected by the city in the rear of the
city hall. This enclosure Will be used
for storing county property, used In
road working. As, in all probability,
the county roads of Sumter will be
worked By county convicts next year,
the commissioners will also re arrange
the old Jail building to suit any de-
mands that may be made for quarters
for the conYicts. There is an unani-
NOUS demand for a change IN the
method of working the county roads,
and as the convict system will, without
doubt, be instituted next year the com.
missioners are already preparing plans
to that end. Anything is preferable tc
the poor and unsatisfactory method Of
working the roads, now in vogue.

Acid Chambers viii Be Built During

Great Success.

The Virginia Carolina Chemical Co.
will soon addto its already extensive
plant in Americas in the erection of an
acid plant, to occupy building quite
as large as the main building now
used, and to cost perhaps $4,000 or
more. Plans for this vast addition to
the company's plant are now being
considered, and General Superinten-
dent Norman G. Pike states that the
work will be completed during the
spring and summer, and in ample
time for the sulphuric acid thus manu-
tactureG 20 be employed in making up
next seasons output of commercial
fertilizer. The Virginia Carolina Co.
did not have sufficient time upon the
completion of the fertilizer plant late
last fall to erect the acidschambers, de-
ferring the work until this summer.
The erection of the acid chambers will
complete the magnificent plant here,
one f the largest and most perfectly
equipped in the South. The Americus
factory will be operated on full time
throughout the summer to complete its
annual output of 25, 900 tons fertilizer.

Though Crop is Smaller Than Last
Season.
While very discouraging reports of
the peach crop come from Fort Valley
and other nearby fruit sections where
the young peaches were injured by the
cold snap of few days ago, 1t IS not
believed that any damage resulted to
the orchards about Americus. The
Times. Recorder interviewed several
fruit growers yesterday, and these
were of the opinion that, while the
crop here would be small, there would
be some very good peaches in spite of
the recent disaster. The cold winds
since Friday knocked many peaches
from the trees, but if the fruit remain
ing reaches maturity there will be suf-
ficient to supply the local demand and
some for shipping besides The or
chards in this section are protected to
a great extent by forest trees, which is
not true of orchards in the open coun-
try about Fort Valley.
