IT the total number or motorcycles in the United States can be estimated by the showing in Rhode Island. the az gregate is much larger than might be generally supposed.

 "The automobile for public officers is becoming more and more of a neces- sity," said A. C. Wheelock. an Oak land man. the other day. "The sher- ifs office in Alameda county bought Thomas Detroit car this season. and up to date the car has done over 10,- coo miles. Allowing $10 for livery hire for each thirty miles. it is estimated that the car has saved the county s3.- 300 in the seven months that it has been in use. As an offset, the ma- chine has cost for a chauffeur s700: for gasoline. oil and tires, including re- pairs, $50, making a total of s1.150. the cost per mile II cents. IT the cost is figured without the chauffeur. the cost per mile would be about 1-2 cents. which Is very cheap travelling for five people.
 Tt is worthy of note that it has been years since we have heard much about the actual cost per mile for automobile travel There were no records that would stand the test without throwing discred.t on the automobile. The mod ern gasoline car that is built right gives the people not only a swift, sure mode of conveyance. but of proved economy compares the cost of automobile maintenance with that of horses. he in- variably allows that the car only trav- els as far as a team, when, as a mat ter of fact. after the car has done a weeks work that would kill two or three teams. it is called upon Sunday to take a long trip into the country. and over roads and hills that a self respecting horseman would never think of requiring a team to go. And all of th!s time the car received no attention whatever and is made to run until the poor machine loses a bolt or nut and is compelled to quit from nothing but neglect"

OLD PRESS is PACKED

Weeks Now
TO SNORT IN THE LONE STAR STATE
Second Compress Built Here is Dis
mdntIed and SOId--Did Duty
Here in Squeezing the
Bales.
TO SNORT IN THE LONE STAR STATE

The work of dismountfng and pack
ing the ponderous machinery of the
old compress at the foot of Church
street is progressing, and soon the
spot that once, knew it's puffs and
snorts in the golden boom days" will
know it no more.
For the old "Snipe of the Valley
as it was facetiously called, is to be
shipped to Texas town; reincarna-
ted, revived, rebuilt, to startle the
natives with its stunts.
Already the work of taking it down
is nearly completed
Some time ago the press was sold
by the Americus Compress Co., to
Texas Company, and the goods"
are now ready for delivery. 1t is
an excellent piece Of machinery and
will yet do many years of excellent
service on the Texas prairies
Still, many here will regret to see
this landmark, about which fond
memory clings, sent away.
The press was erected here by the
old Savannah, Americus C Montgom-
cry Railway in the boom days, when
money grew on trees, and was blown
away about as rapidly. 1t served a
good purpose, and was later sold to
the compress company.
The larger press then, and still.
in operation was sufficient for all
needs, and the "Snipe" was closed
down and has so remained for several
years. But there's life in it yet,
plenty of life, and the Texans will
extract it in huge chunks.
Another building will probably be
erected upon the compress site, as
is a valuable one with frontage on
three lines of railroad.

Mr.. Marion S. Harper, general
manager in Georgia of the Kentucky
Refining Co., with headquarters in
Atlanta, spent yesterday in Americus,
his old home, and where his good
friends are as the sands of the sea-
shore in number. Mr.. Harper was
recently elected State president of
the Southern Cottonseed Crushers
Association, and honor worthily be-
slowed, as his valuable experience of
long years in the cotton oil and cot
ton seed products business renders
him eminently qualified for the dut-
les of this position. Though now an
Albanian, by adoption, the softest
spot in his heart is for Americus and
all there is in it, and no one watches
with greater pride and interest the
growth and commercial prosperity of
Americus and Sumter county than
does Mr.. Harper. His visits here
are ever source of genuine pleas
ure to his friends as to himself.

Supt. GrimShaw Visiting Every Depot

FINE MOTOR CAR is NOW USED

An inspection trip over the por-
tion of the Fifth Division of the
Seaboard Air Line railroad, between
Americus and Montgomery. is being
made by a party of officials on a
motor car.
The party is composed of Supt.
Harry Grimshaw, Assistant Train
Master G. l.. Hurley, and Travelling
Passenger Agent Scruggs.
The smotor car they are using is
practically an easy moving automo-
bile that travels on the railroad track
at a speed of about thirty miles an
hour. 1t comfortably accommodates
four, the motorman being the fourth
party on the trip. 1t has all the
advantages of the train, with few of
it's discomforts, and permits of an
inspection of the rOadbed as the
party goes along, and of frequent
stops.
The present trip, though, is not be-
ing made for highway inspection but
for an inspection of the various de-
pots between the two points.
AT every station the party will stop
and inspect the premises thoroughly
looking into the accommodation fur
nished, the cleanliness of the build
ing and the manner in which the plat
| forms and approaches are kept. Al
the same time there will be a glance
| over the records.
No preliminary notice has been Civ.
en- to any of the agents of the com
pany, and some of them. it is bare
! ly possible, may be found derelict. II
is understood that trips of this char.
acter will be made every now an(
then along the whole of this divis
| ion.
Two days will be taken up in the
trip and a detailed report will ther
be in hand as to the stations on the
I western end of the division.

Hundred Bills in Senate.
The Senate today passed nearly
one hundred House bills, and appro-
priated $4,000 for Confederate PEN
sion deficit The Wright anti-lobby-

ate Wednesday morning. Only six
new bills in that branch today.
The bill to prevent any freezing
out process of Central Railway bond
holders, as urged by the latter, is
now before the Senate committee.
Bill Read Third Time.
In the House today the general
tax act was read the third time, and
that measure is now ready for pass

ed. Hereafter the House will hold
afternoon sessions daily until the
close, in order to expediate busi-

Chattanooga, though no formal step
looking to such an end has been
taken.

ATLANTA, August 5.-Unless the
General Assembly passes at this ses-
sion the reform measures promised
in the Macon platform, Governor
Hoke Smith will call an extra ses-
sion and hold them there unt1l the
pledges thus made are all carried
out. %
This was the talk in the capitol
corridors today, and is generally dis
cussed tonight in hotel lobbies.
The Legislature has but eleven
more working days, and as yet but
few of the =. measures promised by
Gov. Smith in his Macon platform
have been acted upon by that body.
The prohibition measure consumed
the greater part of the session to
the exclusion of all else.
Opposed to Extra Session.
The Governor is opposed to an
extra session as are a majority of
the members of both houses, but
pledges were made in the campaign
and embodied in the platform, and
Gov. Smith will insist upon fulfilling
these, even at expense of an extra
session.
1t will be next to impossible to
perform all the work thus required
in the eleven days remaining, and it
really seems that an extra session
will be unavoidable.

Holland for the U. S. Government
and made exhaustive reports on his
research work. which has been pub

partment under which he served.
In speaking of his trip abroad Mr.
Benton said:
"One of the most interesting fea-
lures of my work on the continent
was the comparison made between
the efforts of Denmark and Holland

"The two buffers sold are entirely

In Denmark cotton seed meal is

in Holland another southern pro-
duct is used, This is cotton seed
oil, which is mixed with the butter of
Holland to make the famous mager-
inc, for which the country is noted
Here we have two countries trying
for the same end and both using a

both coming from our snow white

Both countries are prosperous and
use more cotton seed meal as a feed
and cotton seed oil to make the mar

There is one cooperative dairy

where there are MIXED daily $4,000

These COWS are fed on cotton seed
meal and is the worlds most noted
dairy. The milk from each cow is
tested and the butter fat weighed. The
farmer who owns that COW is paid
for the milk each day on the daily
report of the London market for but
ter fat. A chart is kept for each COW
and in a glance it is seen how much
each is earning. When they cease
to be profitable they are sold for
beef.
In Holland the margarine made
by using cotton seed oil is consider
