GEORGIA May LOSE a REGIMENT
Rumored That Third or Fourth May
Disband

Americas military men are inter
ested in report coming from Column
bus to the effect that one of the regi-
ments in this section, either the Third
Georgia, with headquarters at Augusta,
or the Fourth Georgia regiment, with
headquarters in the Americas section,
will be mustered out of the service as a
result of the recent order compelling
all state militia companies to have
minimum membership of fifty eight
men. 1t appears that one regiment of
the two will surely go, though which is
not known. The new order commands
not only that all companies must have
a minimum of fifty eight men, but that
the state must furnish equipment for
the additional men. And there the rub
comes. 1t is not believed, even if the
additional men can be enlisted, that
the state will be willing to furnish the
equipment necessary for the several
hundred additional recruits. 1t is
thought that one regiment will be
mustered out, and that it's equipment
and men, when possible, will be used
to swell the remaining four regiments
TO the required size.

PROFIT IN PEAS IF
SOLO. NOT BOUGHT
Carloads Sold By Americas
House.
CUR FARMERS euYlNG PEANUTS
Georgia cuwpeas hippsd To Virginia
and vi ginia Peanuts to Georgia.
Torture in lit Ie Georgia Farm
frcpfIiy Titled.

Ten thousand round bushels of field
peas, the ordinary cOwpea so abudant-
ly grown here, have been shipped by
an Americas wholesale house recently
to commission merchants in a half doz-
en- states over the South and to the far
middle West.
And at Sl.5O per bushel, the price
paid the farmers here, $4,000 was thus
Melted by them.
This represents the value of 400
bales cotton and was practically all
profit, as peas require but little Guilt
vatlon. The only cost entailed in such
q crop is in the gathering.
one firm alone, as stated, shipped
$4,000 worth of peas, and probably
others here made large shipments as
well. Several carloads went from
Americas TO Mississippi and Louisiana,
where they are used in reviving the
sugar cane fields.
Other carloads went to fertiliZe the
tobacco lands OF Virginia; vastly bene-
fitted by crop of peas.
From this ii can easily be seen that
other crops than cotton can be grown
about Americas, not the least of which
is the pea crop.
A story is told of one farmer here
who had turned his hogs and COWS in
his pea fields. When he learned that
peas were selling in Americas at 81.
per bushel, he chased the COWS out,
pulled up the vines and threshed $3.50
worth of peas.
But while we sell .cowpeas we buy
our peanuts, more's the pity.
This same firm, the Glover Grocery
Co., which sold cowpeas in Virginia,
snapped some of the dollars for Vir-
ginia peanuts to be sold in this section
for planting purposes.
Think~Of farmers in this rich region
buying Virginia peanuts. We ought to
raise them to sell in Virginia, along
with our cowpeas, etc.
But we have bought several thous-
and bushels of peanuts that cost us
$3.50 per bushel, while we are paying
more for Western hay than ever before.
Prices are still soaring, and hay is now
selling here at double the price it
brought year ago.
Retail dealers are charging from $50
to $27 per ton for the grass killed in
our cotton rows and now needed to
teed mules in order to make more cot
ton. There is little logic in this; but
the cowpea proposition is one for them
to ponder upon.
Every acre of Sumter county land is
gold mine if developed.

The presence in Americus of Mr.. Js

work of raising the additional sum re-
quired for the erection of the handsome
Y NJ A building here.

He is a successful worker and en-
Enthusiastically interested in the cause,

GREAT AUDIENCE WILL ATTEND
Presentation OF "a Message From
Mars" Here.

Americas play-goers will welcome
Saturday evening that delightful
comedy "a Message From Mars .
which, coming at,the close of theatri-
cal famine here, will be welcomed by
a great audience. One of the many
virtues this comedy is said to possess
is that it deals with the truth. Mark
Twain claims that nothing can be fun
nier than the honest truth. 1t is, as he
says. so unexpected. "a Message from
Mars" has the reputation of being one
of the most cleverly constructed come
dies that has ever been given to the
stage. The great truth brought out in
this play is in fact a sermon delivered
in opposition to extreme selfshness.
"a Message from Mars" will be seen
here for the first time, and coming
as it does after its established success
in London and New York, there is
every reason for believing that it will
attract great attention here. A play
that ran for three consecutive years in
London and two in New York must
possess genuine merit.
