THE CHAMPS TO PLAY
THE FIFTH IN ALBANY
Going Monday for Another
Game There.

The fifth game between Americus
and Albany will be played tomorrow,
when the Champs go to that city for
a wrestle with the near" Albanians
who have been secured in another
effort to wrest at least one victory
from Americus.
Aud Albany feels pretty confident
of her position this time.
Again she will rely largely upon
imported talent" if reports are
correct, having secured a number of
expert artists to assist in killing
the Champs.
But the "old guard here has
brushed Albany's trousers with the
bat four times, and feel confident of
doing it again, even with hired tai
ent to combat them Surely the
near Albanians will be no stronger
that the Macon bunch.
And the Champs licked that aggre-
cation to a standstill.
AS the umpire is, to large ex-
tent, the game (see Atlanta, July
z and 81 it would seem but fair
that each team be allowed an UNI
pire, acting together This would
obviate many difficulties, and pre-
vent any possibility of strained re-
lations"
All that the Champs ask is a per-
fectly square deal, and Albany has
always accorded this and plays moth
ing but clean ball.
Quite a number of Americus fans.
including a delegation from the
Rooters' Association will go to AL
bany with the Champs.
Later in the week Albany's team
will return this visit of the Champs
and play in Americas the sixth
game of the season between these
teams. Albany always gets rous-
ing welcome here. and their next
visit will prove no exception.
1t has not yet been determined
whether Ansley or Bynum will be
putt by Americus, but either would
pitch winning game

.fIGHT FOR SCHOOLS
DECIDED TUESDAY
Life of Agricultural inSti-
tutiOns is Involved.

Atlanta, Ca, July -(SpeciaD =
The last fight for the fertilizer tax
bill, which means life or death
of the eleven District agricultural
schools in the State of Georgia, will
be held in the State Senate on Tues
day, July 21, at which time this bill
will come up as a special order.
The bill has passed the House and
went to the Senate Committee on
Agriculture, where a warm fight
was wage. on Wednesday, the 8th.
At that time Chancellor Barrow and
DR.. Soule appeared as advocates of
bill, and j. Pope Brown, j. NJ
Smith and w l.. Peek opposed it.
In executive session the bill was
unfavorably reported to the Senate.
Unless the report can be disagreed
to the bill will never be placed on
it's passage. Senator Brock declares
that the bill has a fighting chance
that he believes by bare majority it
can be placed on its passage and
once on its passage it will be adopted
The law creating these schools
gave to their support only the funds
arising from the sale, of fertilizer tax
tags. This is not sufficient at the
present price to sustain these schools
Unless relief is granted in this
way, as no direct appropriation is
available, these schools, in all prob
aility, viii not open for pupils in
September, but will remain closed
until something in their behalf is
done.
These schools represent over a
half million dollars in grounds and
buildings. At them preparations
have been made to teach dairying,
cattle raising and soil tests, in addi-
ton to the other branches of agricul-
tnre.
Cotton seed meal mixed with cot
ton seed hulls has been declared by
DR.. Soule, the dean of the agricul-
itural schools of Georgia, to be
the cheapest and most nutritious
cattle feed to be had, and this well
known southern commodity will be
given a fair test in both the dairying
and live stock raising Department.

WIDE TIRE BILL TO
BE INTRODUCED
Though Chances For Pas
sage Not Very Good.

Though SunIter's representatives
have notified the Board of County
Commissioners that they did not
believe that the bill requested by the
Board providing for wide tires for
vehicles will pass this session,
Messrs. Taylor and Dykes, have been
asked to offer the bill anyway. Even
If it fails to pass, it's Introduction
will make it easier to get a hearing
next session.
At the last meeting of the Board,
of County Commissioners the sub
ject Of preserving the roads was up,
and a resolution was adopted calling
on the countys representatives to
try to secure the passage Of bill
providing for a minimum width of 2
inches for tires on single wagons and
3 inches on two-horse wagons.
The following is the resolution:
Whereas, the Board of County
Commissioners of Sumter County are
much interested in building good
roads, and after they are built, hav-
ing them maintained and kept in
good order, and whereas; narrow
tires on vehicles are a constant men
ace to good roads in that the tires
cut up ana inquire the roads; there
fore, be it
Resolved by the Board of Com
missioners of Sumter County that our
Representatives in the Legislative
House, James Taylor and w. w. Dy-
kes be and they are hereby requested
to introduce and pass through the
Legislature at the coming session,
bill requiring that from and after
January 1, 1910, all tires on one
horse wagons shall be of the mini
mum width of inches, and on two
or more horse wagons of the mini
mum width of inches, and to pro-
vide in said law a fine for the viola
ton of this act, said act not to apply
to old wagons in use on January /
1910, but to become operative on all
wagons purchased after said date

LEGISLATIVE LEADERS.

II Senator Ernest w. Gibson OF
Brattleboro Is made president pro
tenn OF tho Senate. II should not bs
charged UP against tho town but the
man himself should be held account
able. as It Is plain case of merit.
In this connection II is easy to guess
that Representative Joseph A. DeBoer
OF Montpelier Will be chairman OF the
ways and means committee, which
position carries with IT the leadership
Of tho House. especially IN the present
Instance.
Speaker Cheney will have nm easy
task in making up the house commit
tee on the Judiciary in view OF tho
fact that there are only nine lawyers
In that branch OF the Legislature. Two
of these by the way are from chit
tcnden county. Representative Leary
OF Burlington and Martin OF Essex
It should be borne In mind, how
ever. that It Is no easy task TO take
246 names and distribute them from
one to three or moro times among
the different committees. and have
everybody satisfied. Speaker Cheney
has already demonstrated excellent
facility IN this direction and It Is safe
TO say that the next House committee
will be well manned.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
Brndstreets Finds Tint Progress II
slow but steady.

Reports to Bradstreets for ths
week show steady but slow ten
dancy towards improvements, plans
for future business being made with
extreme care. The warm weather Of
the week brought out some trade but
sales OF fail goods were practically
slow. Some light falls Of rain were
reported at different points In tho
State but no. enough fell TO do much
good. Particularly is scarcity Of water
commented upon by manufacturing
interests at Bare and Montpelier:
plants were closed hall OF the week
in that section by reason OF inability
to obtain power Forest fires that have
been burning during the past three
weeks are said to be nearly all well
under control. The damage Of stand
Ing timber, however. will be heavy.
An advance report from lumber
dealers throughout the State indicates
that the cut Of lumber the coming
season Will be on an average OF from
rs to so per cent. less than last year.
Approximately fully three million dol
lars worth OF timber cut last
year. The market during the early
part Of this year was dull and at this
period dealers find larger stocks OH
hand although some have cleaned up

heavy. The demand for taat article
has shown some increase since August
of this year Corn Gaming plants have
completed work Of canning that pro-
duct for season and erort largo yield

that line are having fairly good de-
mand. Wholesale firms in food stuns
report good sales generally and coun-
try trade st.ll holds UP we'll ms com

while in manufacturing communities
conservative buying Is noticed In near

Manufacturers Of granite for build
