Chandler Egan was badly off on the

The engineering corps of the Macon,
Americas and Albany Electric Rail-

day from Andersonville, where they
have been engaged for several days
surveying route through the hills of
that region. The work is necessarily
slow, as the country at that point is
very broker and rough. No further

quired by railroads, and the matter

FARMERS EAGER TO BE TAUGHT.

The claim has been made in the
past that farmers, and more
particularly those of the South,
were not willing to learn that they
preferred to follow in the same old
furrOw, imbibing NO new idea and
content to let cid conditions remain.
If this were ever true, and we
doubt that it ever was, such a
state of mind has passed away.
There are no farmers in the country
to day more eager to learn new
methods of agriculture than the
young men of the South. 10 this,
in a large measure, the vast strides
that farming has made in this Sec
ton in the past ten years is due.
With establishment of the agri.
cultural colleges will come a new
stimulus in this direction. 1t is
almost safe to predict that the
accommodations of these district
schools will be sorelY taxed their
first year.
Referring TO thepresent day
eagerness of farmers to be taught
the Jacksonville Times Union saws;
Intelligence has grown and the
intellect has been sharpened
through the many agencies by
means of which the agricultural
portion of the community has been
put in close touch with the world
at large, as the farm telephone,
rural free deliveries, the electric
railway and hard roads. Congress
man Lamar, himself a tobacco
raiser, is delivering lectures on
tobacco raising in his district.
accompanied by a tobacco expert
from the national department of
agriculture. A cotton school is
to be held at GAINESVILLE, Ca,
during July and Augusta, where
experts on cotton viii give instruc-
ton through lectures, covering
grading, marketing and handling
of cotton in all its phases and con-
ditions. A similar work in Texas
produced good results. In fact.
the farner is getting to know so
much that it is quite discouraging
to the Spectator, who is learning
to get up early in these days.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

The charges of excessive whip
ping and other cruel treatment OF
the convicts of Sumter county,
made in open court by a convict
and confirmed. it is stated, in a
measure by the testimony OF
reputable white citizens, demands
an immeaiate and full investlga
ton.
No community can allow cruel
treatment of its prisoners. Every
man sent to the changing should
be compelled to work for the good
of the county. He should be treated
with firmness, and if there is mis-
behavior on his part sufficient to
justify punishment the law pro
vides that he shall be whipped in
moderation.
But the laws of Georgia do not
justify, nor viii decent public SEN
timent tolerate, cruel treatment OF
convicts.
The Times Recorder does not
know whether the convicts have
been wrongfully handled or not.
There may be but little basis for
the charges that haye been made,
for the comments that are ailoat.
1t is easy to decide the matter by a
thorough investigation. Such
should be ordered at once by the
County Commissioners
For the fair name of Sumter we
hope and trust that such an inves-
tigation will entirely disprove the
charges. But Judge Crisp should
be commended for the position he
has taken. He would be recreant
to his duties as a Judge, to his
manhood as man, to his response
bilities las citizen proud of the
reputation of his home county, if
he had ignored the statements
made to him in open court.

WORK FOR AMERICUS WOMEN.

@Striving for the city beautiful.
That is what a number of civic
improvement leagues are doing ia
Georgia to-day. Columbus has
very active organization of this
character. So have a number of
the smaller cities Of the State.
The work of such league sup
PIGMENTS that of the regular munic-
lpal authorities. It's purpose is te-
stimulate where tits needed, to plan
for the Identification of the streets
and public places, to awaken public
pride in the appearance of the
city as a whole. Such an organ
ization Becomes a power in a com
munity when its forces are well
directed and kept in proper
channels.
Americas has no such league.
Like all other cities there is
room for one here. Our streets
could be kept cleaner, our gardens
could be made more beautiful, our
parks could be adorned, old sheds
and unsightly fences could be re-
moved. There is always more or
lessIwork of this kind to be done
in every City in the land.
To make city more beautiful,
and keep it so, it is necessary to
educate the public mind to proper
appreciation of the value of beau.
ty as tangible asset. A beauti-
full city draws people to it. Al
unkempt, unsightly town drives
people away. There is high cash
value to beauty in town. AS soon
as this tact is forced home on the
community then great step has
been taken to secure betterment
of existing conditions.
The public spirited women of
Amerieus-and there are doubtless
scores of them-could find no
better work than to follow in the
Wakeof their sisters Of Columbus
and other cities and establish a
league whose sole purpose will be
10 advance the aesthetic interests
of the community.
