days, and the practical loss of one of the big days of tho year All who had much walking to do also had a strong kick to register against the weather bureau, for where 1t wasn't slushy 1t was slippery.
 The trolley company and railroad did their part well for there was scarcely a hitch In traffic The same may be said of the telephone company, although much of the rain froze on the wires as 1t fell.
 Those who rejoiced most at the storm were those to whom it's removal meant employment The railroad and trolley companies had many men al work With shoyels, and the city put a number of men to cleaning tho cross ings A good many found employment during the forenoon cleaning the walks of private residences, but as the snow was not very deep and there was no school in the morning most of this la hor devoycd upon tho small boy in those houses fortunate enough to pos- scsS one But the average small boy hustled through the job and got out his sled, for the sliding was bully Last evening sleds and double rippers were out on all the hillsI and good coastlng was enjoyed except when somc imp by the roadside let fly a snowfall with liondlsh aim, Tho sleghng was also fairly good and a number were seen even in the center during the after noon.
 The weather bureau promises clear and cold weather for to-day, which should make good sliding, good sleigh Ing and good shopping.

THIRD CROP COTTON
is BEING PICKED
Farmers Believe LOWGradeS
Will Be Valuable.

With the return of good weather
the cotton growers of Sumter coun-
ty have returned to the fields to
pick the third crop. AS a result of
the wind and rain the last picking
will be of low grade stuff, which is
not just now in demand Well inform
ed cotton men are of the opinion that
the fields will be we'll picked before
being abandoned.
Better prices are ahead for the
poor grades, according to the belief
OF Sumter county farmers, who are
convinced that the shortage of the
crop will force the mills to turn to
the lower grades for supplies. When
this is done, the demand will nat
uarlly increase for the neglected
grades, and as last season, even the
despised dog tails" will have a
marketable value.
Sumter county farmers have gen
orally sold or hypothecated their
better grades, and having liquidated
their obligations are resting easily
until prices improve. This policy
of course, tends greatly to lift the
price of cotton by leading the mills
short of supplies.
With seven months yet to run cot
ton planters are confident that the
longer they hold off the better prices
they can obtain for the staple. That
when normal conditions return in
the world of trade Sumter county
farmers will be ready and able to
take down considerable profits for
these lower grades, there can be little
doubt

FATE OF SEABOARD is
RESULT OF WAR WAGED
WarfieId and Williams in
Control.

AS expected, receivers have been
appointed for the Sea board Air
Line Railway, and the three thousand
miles of that splendid property is
now in the courts, largely as the
result of merciless warfare made
upon it by legislation inimical to cor
porations in general and railway in
terests in particular
1t is the first signal victory (?) for
the ''reformers.'
A we'll known railroad man in AM
ericus yesterday expressed the opin-
ion that this was but the beginning
and that other similar interests would
soon be in the hands of receivers.
The appointment of r. L. Williams
and S. ID. Warfield' as receivers again
places the Seaboard largely in con
troll of the Williams faction. Mr..
John Shelton Williams, formerly
president of the Seaboard, is well
known in Americus, where he form
erly came frequently upon official bus
mess for the company.
1t is not believed that placing of
the property into the hands OF re-
ceivers will disturb the public gen
orally to any extent for the reason
that the stock has not paid dividends
anyway, and the bonds of the COM
pany are owned by the financial inter-
ests in the big cities.
In some quarters it is believed that
the failure of the Seaboard will have
a salutary instead of a depressing eff
feet upon conditions generally, mas
much as this course has been inn
pending for some time.

Tchaykovsky and Nine Breshkovsk-

The Premier has inquired person
ally into the case, and has said that
the petition would receive due con

to reveal the details of the accusation
against the prisoner, as the prelimi-

LABOR ON FARMS WILL
BEGIN IN SHORT TIME.
Farmers Here Are Already
Busy.

Many farmers of Sumter took ad-
vantage of the fine weather yesterday
to come to kmericus and complete
purchases of NEEDED supplies for be-
ginning the work of the new year,
which starts out auspiciously. 1t
will be greatly to the advantage of
the farmers that labor will be more
plentiful this year than in a long
while, and under improved moral
conditions this labor will be more
efficient. Several farmers have told
the Times Recorder that they would
be able to hire all the labor required
upon their farms, condition not
prevailing recently Farmers have
not laid out their cotton acreage as
yet, but under favorable circumstan-
ces, and in view of the excellent prices
of the current season, the acreage
this year Will be about as usual. The
crop i'll Sumter last year, and which
is not yet all gathered was one of
the largest ever grown in the coun-
ty and sold for prices highly salts
factory Not few farmers sold a
large portion of their crop at 13
cents. the high figure of the opening
of the season, while probably half
the crop grown here sold above II
cents. Already more than 10000
bales have been marketed at Ameri-
Gus warehouses, and the crop is not
yet all in.
