Is BRINGING IN BALES
OF CROP OF 1907
This Farmer in no Hurr,
to Sell.

Mr.. w. P. lowers, one of the sub
stantial farmers of old Webster, has
just begun to market his 1907 crop
of cotton and is shipping it to Ameri-
Gus as fast as it is ginned 1t is
one of Mr.. lowers peculiarities never
to rush a cotton crop to market, but
rather to hold it for year to two
until the price gets right, as he rare
ly needs the money. Last year he sold
here in midsummer 300 bales, repres-
enting two entire crops made pre-
viously, and just now is ginning UP
the $50 or 100 bales he made last
year. The cotton is packed away in
his gin house and storage rooms and
ginned and marketed as fancy suits
the owner. While he is sending $50
bales to Americus just now, he may
decide to hold it for six .menths Oh
year before selling. If other farm
ers here had the ability to hold cot
ton for better prices, as has Mr. Jow-
ers, the New York cotton gamblers
would have to go out of their nefar-
ious business and seek work of some
kind

PRIMARY FOR STATE TO
BE HELD IN JUNE
This seems Quite Probable
Now.

The Sumter county primary for
the nomination of county officers, leg
islative members, county commission
ers, city court judge and solicitor, is
still a subject of interesting discus
sion here in Americus and over the
county, and the general desire is for
the naming of an early date when the
executive committee meets here on
Saturday, February Sth.
The impression is gaining ground
that the state primary will be held
early in June, and that one primary
will be made to suffice for the selec-
tion of delegates to the state con-
vention which will name delegates
to Denver and for nominating state
house officers.
No one recalls that two primaries
were ever held for this purpose, and
no reason can exist for it being done
this year, although efforts have been
made to create impression that two
will be held.
In this connection it may be stated
authoratively that there will be no
extra session of the legislature 1t
is also generally believed now that
Governor Smith will not enter the
race for the senate, but will again
be a candidate for the governorship

AMERICUS is READY TO
GET INTO THE GAME
When Cry of Play Ball is
Given.

While Americus fans and rooters
are not making a noise like a base
ball game in motion, the entire bunch
is ready for the fray when the cry
play BALI is given. The PROPOSE
ton looking to the organization of a
large league, composed of south Geor-
gia towns, meets with favor, and Am
ericus will back up a nine with the
others in such event Brunswick will
come in the league at the start-off, and
Fitzgerald has a manager with the
money to back his club. Valdosta
will take an interest and join, and
the membership will also include AL
bany, Cordele, Americus and Colum-
bus, with Thomasville a probability.
Nearly all of the above named places
have been heard from in regard to
this league, and a meeting, at which
each town of the proposed circuit will
be represented, will be called at an
early date to do something definite

NO CLUE TO ROBBERY
Is FOUND AS YET
Thief Got the Money and
Fitted.

There was still no clue yesterday
to the bold robbery reported Monday,
the burglarizing of the residence of
Mr.. Ben Smith, on Furlow street, the
night before The bold thief got away
with about $40 in cash found in the
house, and is still as free as the
birds of the air. Thieves seem to op-
crate in two distinct gangs in Amer
icus; the residence thief and the win
dow climber who enters stores here
and gets away scott free. Quite re-
Gently three stores here have been
burglarized, the thief in each instance
entering by a rear window, and as
yet suspicion points to no one. Re-
Gently, out in the residence district,
the Ryals residence was plundered
and then burned by unknown parties,
and now comes a second robbery in
the same neighborhood-that of the
Smith residence a night or two ago.

Not few poor families in Amer

the newly instituted Masonic lodge
here, the Order of the Eastern Star

THE LABOR ON FARMS
HERE is MUCH BETTER
As Result of State PrOhi-
bitiOn.

Americus people not only see the
beneficient effect of prohibition upon
the negro labor here in town, but
the greater effect is evidenced in the
country, where is is most needed
Farmers are finding no difficulty this
year in getting all the labor needed
and it is of better quality and more
reliable than under former conditions
Hon. T. G. Hudson, commissioner
Of agriculture and who has extensive
farming interests near Americus, has
decided views upon this point. In
an interview yesterday he said
II expect to see throughout Geor-
gia wonderful change for the better
this year." said Commissioner Hud-
son. ION my own farms in South
Georgia, [ have observed changes for
the better, and wherever i go plan
ters tell me that they are having
much better success in securing la
Dor under satisfactory terms.
Prohibition is driving hundreds
of negroes from the cities to the
farms, and | expect to see good labor
plentiful Some people have the theory
that negro labor can not be handled
without whiskey but | do not sub
scribe to it at all.
II have been a farmer all of my
life and | have employed and studied
negro labor closely.
when there is a town or city with
in reach, where liquor can be obtain
ed, negro farm hand will go and
hang around until he has spent all of
his money on carousing. He will
come back then in no shape to do
good work for several days.
But if no liquor can be obtained
he will go to town, attend to his
business and go back to his work.
mo negroes are leaving this
state, except the natural shifting of
the irresponsible element that fol-
lows public works, and upon whose
movements the liquor question has
no effect. We will have plenty of
labor this year, and it will be better,
and more desirable in every way than
we have known for years"

STILL BUSY IN HOLDING
SESSIONS OF COURT
Two Weeks Spent by Judge
LittIejOhn.

Judge z. A Littlejohn left yester-
day for Cordele, where he will pre-
side this week for Judge Whipple in
cases in which chat jurist is disquali-
fed Judge Littlejohn had recently
returned here from Brunswick, where
he presided a week for Judge Parker
of the Brunswick circuit. Judge
Parker had been quite i'll recently, and
Judge Littlejohn was requested by
Gov. Smith to preside at the court
there in his stead Even in vacation
when there are no courts on the
calendar of the Southwestern cir
cult, the services of Judge Littlejohn
are always in demand in other coun-
ties of the state, a merited compli-
ment to his ability as a jurist.

4 HARD STRUGGLE
Many a Lexington Citizen

With back constantly aching,
With distressing urinary disorders,
Daily existence is but struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Mrs. J. NJ. Wheeler, Prosperity, S.
c., says: MY kidneys were out Of
order for long time, causing terrible
pains through my loins and limbs.
There was also a constant aching IN
my back and on some occasions, L
could scarcely get about. My kid
neys were so frequent in action that
I would be obliged to arise several
times at night and despite the fact
that consulted several physicians, l
was becoming discouraged and had
about given up hopes of ever being
cured when my son-in-law bought a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills for me.
He had read that they were good tor
kidney trouble and induced me to try
them. I did so with the result that
when I had taken the contents of two
boxes, the backache disappeared and
the kidneys were brought back to
their proper condition. Ihave recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills to many
of my friends and will continue to do
80, as I consider them worthy of all
that can be said in their favor"

At Los Angeles, CAL, registered
mail pouch containing bank notes of
at least $50, 1000 in currency, and, it is
supposed as much more in miscella-

dropped from sight with sufficient
mystery to battle the secret service.
For 4s hours postoffice inspectors
have been seeking an answer to the
puzzle that promises to prove one OF
the largest thefts committed from the
postoffice department in years.
The pouch was in transit from Los
Angeles to New York. From the
check system of the department of
railway mail service, it is known that
the theft was perpetrated Saturday
night, some where in the Jurisdiction
of the Kansas City division. Beyond
that the officials have no trace that
they are willing to publish.
It is admitted that the lost pouch
left Los Angeles over the sante Fe
the morning of June 4, and was due
in Kansas City on Saturday. The
shipment of o,ooo was consigned to
the Chemical National bank, New
York, and was shipped by the Farm
