ADJUSTERS MAY COME
AND SETTLE LOSSES

Adjusters for the insurance COM
panies carrying risks upon the burn
ed cotton compress here are ex-
pected in Americus today. While it
will soon be eight weeks since the
Americus press was destroyed by fire
the insurance companies, all of them
foreign, have not yet adjusted the
losses to the end of paying the in
surance carried by the company. This
has greatly delayed the building of a
new press, as nothing can be done
until the insurance losses are set

WATER Is PUMPED OUT
AND WORK is RESUMED

When the large force of workmen
engaged in digging for the foundation
walls of the power house for the Am
ericus Railway & Light Co., reached
the scene yesterday morning they
found the big hole in the ground
filled with water by the rain of the
night before. There was several
hundred thousand gallons of water in
the hole, and as there was no meter
attachment all of this was a clear
loss as it could not be measured and
charged to anybody A pump was
secured and before noon the water
was pumped out of the excavation and
work there resumed

In the city court yesterday morning

Do Il For Dover.

Dover Index.
1t is understood that there is very
good prospect for a good Appropriation
for Dover river. This is, however de-
pendent on the amount of influence that
can be brought to bear on the committee
of Congress. That there will be a pork bill
at this session is settled since Speaker
Cannon has said so. but that Senator
Richardson will be able to get Slice for
his home river is not so certain. In late
years about all we hear about appropria-
tons for Delaware water ways is in ad-
vocacy of the Delaware Chesapeake canal
So far as we have ever been able to see
that is largely a local claim We could
never see much in the national side of it,
and little II anything but scheme to get
local canal dug out at the national ex-
pense. It is, true that the Wilmington
Board of Trade and other advocates of its
advantages succeeded in getting Con-
gresham Burton interested in it to the
exclusion of our many small streams, but
so far We have not heard that Senator
Richardson has gone damy about the
scheme. We hope to see several Delaware
streams provided for In the next appro-
priation bill, but none so much as Dover
river. However in order TO accomplish
this Senator Richardson must have the
help OF the people Of Dover and the most
effective aid is that proposed by the Board
of Trade to begin work ourselves and
prepare for navigation by digging a basin
and building dock and by widening and
improving near Dover as far as possi-
bic. II Dover has a future it is through
water transportation.

under the surface The people will
not permanently submit to the infamy
of our voters assistant act. There is
a growing sentiment, against bribery

sentiment that revolts at the domina-

venality. Were the Democrats to comc
into power they would find the perfect
system ready for their use. and all
that would be necessary would be to
get some man with a barrel, to make

RAPID WORK OF A COMMISSION

HE report OF the Country Life Commission
is soon to be made public It is said that
many suggestions will be offered The cor1mis-
sion seems to have taken rapid review of the
country at large, and if the members have fully
grasped in so short time the problems that per
pleN farmers 1t has performed wonderful feat.
Washington message discussing the report
SAYS that 1t will comment at length on farm con
diuons in the South, ani that education will be
suggested as a remedy. In fact education is sue-
gested as a remedy for everything these davs.
from sick COW to a naturally bad man. lust
how education, as currently understood. will
solve the problem of the scarcity of labor on
farms is not easy to understand After all this
lack of farm labor is the difficulty that confronts
farmers in this region
There is, of course, room for much improve
ment in the condition OF the farmers in the South.
In that section many farmers live in tumble-down
or ramshacSe houses they are not up to date in
farming methods; there are miseraby poor ten
ant farmers eking out an existence too often sat
isfed with the bare necessities of life
The commission may, perhaps, be able to bring
about an Improvement in their condition The
South has improved far more in manufacturing
than il has in agriculture.
