FIRST CROP OF TOBACCO
is GROWN IN SUMTER
.-THS GREAT MONEY CROP CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY GROWN
IN SUMTER AS DEMONSTRATED

That tobacco can be grown SUE.
cessfully here in Sumter county, and
with profit to the producer, has been
fully demonstrated by the Ware Or
chard Co, which will begin tomorrow
the harvesting of ten acres of Sum,
atra leaf" the most valuable grade
This is the first experiment made
here upon an extensive scale, and the
company is pleased Herewith,
This broad expanse of growing to-
bacco upon the Ware Co.'S farm
six miles below Americus, presents a
sight most pleasing to the eye and
attracts general attention
The company desired to expert
ment in tobacco culture, both in the
open and under shade, the finer
grade, as is well known, being pro-
duced under lattice This latter pro-
cess is very expensive, as it costs
largely to thus prepare even a small
area
One acre of the weed is cultivated
under cover by the Ware Co., while
nine acres are cultivated in the open
field, both crops adjoining.
Seasons have been favorable, and
the plants have grown luxuriantly.
The nine acres of plants in the
open field are now ready to be cut
and cured, and the harvest will be-
gin on Thursday

CHECK is SIGNED AND
SENT TO THE BANK
Pending Final Details for
Transfer.

Anent the deal pending in Phila-
delphia for several days wherein the
Americus Railway and Light Co., is
to be financed latest reports yester-
day were of nature encouraging.
1t is stated that the transfer will be
effected today quite likely, and the
amount agreed upon, something like
$85,000, as the price of the electric
light and gas plant here paid over.
In fact, telegram received yester-
day announced that the check for the
amount required has already been
drawn by parties furnishing the
money and only the final inspection of
the deeds, etc, by attorneys of the
purchasers is now required That
the deal, so long pending, will be
put through at once there seems no
doubt whatever, and official announce
ment to that effect will be forthcom-
ing within day or two, it is said

The shaded tobacco vii be gather
ed some time hence.
In the preparation of this single
acre, the entire field is rooted over
with cloth, or narrow strips of board
through which the sunlight filters. the
shade tempering the heat and thus
producing finer quality of tobacco.
This latticed roof is nine feet high
and already the top leaves of the
tobacco plants are forcing themsel-
YES through it to catch the suns
rays without. The cultivation under
cover has resulted in a crop of the
finest quality of Sumatra wrapper, .
The crop upon this single acre is
worth a small fortune
Having demonstrated that tobacco
can be grown here successfully, the
Ware Co, will doubtless plant a lar
ger area next season.
Upon the line of diversified farm
ing this opens to our farmers a new
and profitable source of revenue. Soil
experts have declared that the soil
in certain portions of this county
are finely adapted to tobacco culture,
and there is conclusive proof of it.
The success attending the expert
ment of the Ware Co, will result even
tuallV in the extensive cultivation
of tobacco in Sumter county.

CHAMPS ARE LOSERS IN
FIRST OF THE SERIES
Camilla Won by Score of
Five to Two.

By a score Of 5 to 2 Americus drop
ped yesterday the first game of three
scheduled with Camilla, and while
the result is disappointing, of course,
it could not be avoided under the
combination of circumstances, along
with other combinations.
1t was a well played game and
the large audience enjoyed it despite
the seal brown taste left upon then
lips.
Camilla came fixed" as expected,
and won out easily.
Prominent among her players were
Mr.. Newkirk of Shellman, Mr.. Wes-
ton Of Albany, Mr. Peddy of Column
bus Mr. Simpson of Smithyille M,r
Nc Knight of Albany. The addresses
Of the other visitors could not be
readily obtained
Rarely is it that SO many cities are
represented in a game.
Sprinkler threw the ball for the
south Georgians, with Hartsfeld as
catcher, while Bynum and Bostick
did the work effectively for the
Champs.
The fact is evidenced in the strike
cut work done
Up to the fifth inning the score
stood . to 0 in favor of the Champs
but in the fatal fifth the Camilla-AI-
bany Smithyille Columbus She'll
man-et al scored four in a lump and
held up the "23" sign.
But the Champs held the southern
part of the state down to one more
run after the fifth The playing OF
each team was good, though the
Champs made costly errors.
Even the roar of the rooters was
unayailing this time Here is the

NO PROFIT IN PEACHES
ON ACCOUNT OF COST
Shipments Are Consumed
in Expenses,

Americus peach growers doubtless
made some money, above expenses, i'll
the shipments made to Eastern points,
but the cash results are not nearly SO
large as anticipated, or what they
really should have been, in all prob
ability. No fortunes were realized
by growers here.
They had to accept the returns. as
figured out at the other end Of the
line, and swallow it in faith, whether
or not it gagged.
The story is best told in the case
of a Columbus shipper, which has par
allel cases in Americus:
A well known peach grower O.,
Muscogee county has just received the
returns from car load of peaches
that were shipped by him through
the American Fruit Union, the peach
es being sold at Duluth Minnesota.
There were 497 crates of peaches,
which sold at $445.27
The freight on the peaches amount
ed to $29726, the carriage $8.25, and
the commissions were $44.52, making
the total expenses $350.O3, and Ieav-
ing $95.24 for the grower.
The crates cost sixteen cents which
made expenses 1882 more.
Nothing is allowed for packing and
postage and the time spent in writ
ing and loading the peaches in the
cars When everything in the way
of expense is deducted it will be
seen that the grower received the
magnificent sum of $15.72 as his part
of the proceeds of 497 crates o.
peaches
He could easily have gotten at
least fifty cents per crate for his
peaches in Columbus, as many peo-
pie there, as in Americus, were un-
able to get any real good peaches, on
ly the leavings being sold in this
city.

Morning Service

Death, was the theme of Rev
Robert Jones yesterday morning. The
tabernacle was comfortably filled by
an audience which followed the speak
er closely.
The subject of death was not a very
pleasant one to many people, said the
speaker. Among men who disliked tc
hear the subject the speaker cited
Andrew Carnegie.
Death was the one thing which no.
body could escape. Mr. Jones pre-
dicted that before the close of the
present year one or more of those be-
fore him would have their homes in
vaded by the dread messenger. Strik-
ing stories were told of those who
died without Christ, and of those who
had accepted Jesus as their savior.
Mr.. Jones told of one merchant in
a town where he was holding a meet
ing who refused to close his doors,
preferring to make money to any 9TH
er thing. Some months later he heard
that the mans store had found time
to close, this time with a bit of Grape
on the door
At the close of the sermon Mr.. Jones
asked how many would be ready at
that moment if God should call them.
All who were thus ready were asked
to stand. About half of the audience
arose. All who wanted to do better
were asked to stand. Personal ex-
hortation by the Christian workers
present was then begun Quite num-
ber came forward for prayer.

HEAVY LOSS IN CROPS
AS RESULT OF RAIN

The Georgia cotton crop will be at
least % per cent below that of last
year, according to Hon. T. G. Hudson,
Commissioner of Agriculture He
states that an overplus of rain in
South Georgia together with a par
tial drought in the Middle and Nor
thern sections, has tended to reduce
the yield far below normal. He
also states that cotton blight and in
sects have injured the growing plant.

Important Notice iO inc Public.

This company, which owns the Ryall and Mix mining concessions on the Yaqui river, has begun an active campaign of exploration and development of it's property. The program of the work contemplated includes in it's scope both the pros- pecting of the territory covered by the concessions by parties employed by the company and the granting of permits, on reasonable basis of royalty, to outsiders who may desire to carry on such exploration work and locate property within the territory controlled.
 The territory covered by the con- cession includes everything between the Yaqui and Tecoripa rivers, and between the town of Cumuripa and line drawn east and west from the Mojonera del Guamuchil above San Antonio de la Huerta, and the Ojo de Agua above the town of Tecoripa on the Tecoripa river. The territory is located in the dis tricts of Ures, Hermosillo and Guaymas.
 The administration office of the company will be Fundicion. All communications, for the present, may be addressed to the company's secretary, w. P. Tucker.
 In view of the many communi- cations which the company has received from various persons rela- tive to Announcements which they have desired to make wihin the concessions, it has been decided to give to all those who have ex- pressed a desire to make such loca- tions, because of the expense to which they have already been put, preferential opportunity to do so on a just basis. It will be neces- sary in order to insure this privi- lege, to perfect arrangements with the company to that end at an early date.

 The new mining law, pro. posed, requiring companies opera ting mines in this country to incorporate here, will in no way work hardship on any company which is actuated with the idea of conducting straight legitimate business. It will really prove a boon for legitimate mining as it will curb the formation of million dollar companies on ten foot pros pect holes. There is class of gen. tlemen, excuse the word, who live in cities like Kansas City, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles who take fairly passable prospect and float a company with a prospectus fairly glaring with mistruths and huge capitalization. If these gen. tlemens' activities were confined more closely to Mexican soil wild eating would get unpopular as the law down here take the word for the deed. It is inconceivable the amount of wildcat literature con- corning Sonora mines, that is now floating around the States. A man drops in town for few months, disappears and soon a prospectus drifts this way that is wonder in the amount of transformation it carries. All this hurts the, man that is really trying to get money to mine. The Mexicans contend that if they are interested in company that is incorporated in a foreign country, that if they are defrauded in any way they have practically no redress. It is neces- sary for them to go to a strange country with strange language and a stranger court procedure. Also debts for labor performed are very hard to collect. It is true one can attach anything for a salary due, but the papers have to be served on the home office. The applause or condemnation of the American press carries little weight here at present. The States urged the gold standard on Mexico and there is a feeling here now, that she, the biggest silver producer of the world was handed gold brick. The passage of the new law is only a matter of time.
