MILITARY MEN
DISCUSS FUTURE
Believed Fourth Reg't. Will
Be Kept Intact.

Lieut.. James A. Fort, of the Ameri-
Gus Light Infantry, returned yester-
day from Townsville, where he at
tended a conference of the officers of
the Fourth Regiment, on Monday.
The conference was held at the
office of Capt. Stron. Col Wylly and
a dozen other officers were in atten-
dance, representing the military COM
panies at Thomasville, Valdosta, AL
bany, Americas and Fitzgerald. Col
umbus was not represented
There was a general discussion
of the Dick bill, which goes into eff
feet on January l, and the probability
of the several companies of the Fourth
Regiment being able to comply with
its requirements.
The general feeling of the officers
present was that with a special eff
fort made from now until the close of
the year, it would not be a very diff
cult matter to bring each of the com
panies to the required strength of So
men. In all of the towns represent
ed in the Fourth Regiment there is
considerable military spirit and it was
not believed that the young men of
the several communities would be
willing for the local companies to be
disbanded because of inability to Sc
cure a few additional men.
The companies comprising the
Fourth were all reported in improved
condition, with greater interest than
in the past and the men steadily i'm
proving in their military ability.
Lieut.. Fort brought home with him
a check for armory rent, arrears due
the Americas company for some
months past.

test is oyershadowing everything else
here in point of interest in connection
with the election of November 5. The
mountaineering registration has

analyze its meaning and probable eff
feet on the interests respectively of
Mayor Tom J. Johnson, who is seek
ing a fourth term, and of Congress-
man Theodore e. Burton, Republican
nominee.
The registration has reached a total
of $4,000, which is nearly 10000 in ex-
cess of the normal vote in city cleo
tons.
Chairman Baker predicts Mr.. Bur-
tons election for Mayor by from 5000
to $4,000 majority. Mayor Johnson
and his managers predict that his ma
jority will be no less than it was two
years ago when he was elected by

BIG PROFIT
ON REALTY DEAL

There's money to be made on Am
CIRCUS real estate and Sumter county

investment or speculation. AS evil
dence of this fact; ten thousand dol
lars profit was refused a day or two
ago by purchasers of a handsome piece
of realty here, and this within a few
hours after the deal was completed.
The property was bought as an in

thousand dollars did not tempt the
purchasers, who realized the good
trade they had made.
