TEN BALES OF COTTON
HAULED AS A LOAD
Farmer Sent a Record Load
to AmeriCuS.

Ten bales of cotton piled upon a
wagon drawn by a spanking team of
four fine Georgia raised mules at
tracted attention at the Oliver Ware
house here yesterday morning, inter
est attached to the unusual load and
the splendid team.
The mules, four exceptionally fine
ones, were raised on Mr.. R. S. Pry-
or's plantation below Americus as is
every head of stock employed upon
the farm.
No Kentucky mules or horses for
him, as he raises the Just as good
kind right here.
Besides, the load of cotton, ten bales
weighing more than 500 pounds each,
was an eloquent tribute to the good
roads of Sumter, which renders pos
sible the hauling of such heavy load
by four mules a distance Of twent,
miles.
Under conditions heretofore exist
ing Mr.. Pryor would have been two
days hauling to town the bales he
brings now at single load.
The only rough section struck, Mr..
Pryor said, was along the graded
streets of Americus, which were so
uneven that his cotton bales we'll
nigh tumbled off the wagon No part
of the twenty miles of county roads
was SO bad as the streets.
But the fact that four mules can
draw a load of ten bales of cotton
twenty miles over a country road,
without effort, speaks volumes for
the roads of Sumter.

RACES A BIG SUCCESS:
II SHEDS ON TRACK
Lady Gay Took Prize in
Two Events.

The matinee" races yesterday un-
der auspices of the Americus Driving
Club proved an even greater success
than was anticipated, and attested the
cordial support that will be given tc
good, clean sport of this kind by the
people of Americus.
Among the audience of several hun
dred spectators were scores of ladies
and these, as did others present, en-
joyed the thrill of seeing the horses
speed over the track.
There were no prizes offered in this
instance; only test speed between
Americus horses, that are seen daily
upon the streets.
But it was an event eliciting the
liveliest enthusiasm.
There were twelve horses entered
for the five races, and these were di.
Vided into five classes; /, A, B, C, and
ID Well groomed, and driven to fine
racing rigs, the scene presented could
not have been surpassed in the blue
grass" region
The grandstand held an audience OF
several hundred spectators when the
judges called time and the steeds took
the track
And right here a word of praise
must be said of the Americus track
Splendidly built, it is the finest half
mile course in Georgia, excepting
none, and many of the trotters that
tested speed there yesterday made new
records.
In the first event there were four
entries as Glass 1" the horses being
JackdaW, entered by R. L. Rose; Town
Lady by NJ. j. Stevens; Mary Row.
land, by j. D. Hooks, and Burner, by
w NJ McGarrah.
In this race Jackdaw won two
straight heats, the time in each being
1.27 and 12912.
In the second race Lady Gay" own
ed by Col J. R. Williams, won two
straights, her, time being 115 and
1.161a. Racing with Lady Gay were
Prince John, entered by R. l.. Rose,
and Roy Wilkes, entered by Cliff c.
Clay, and both good ones
This trio of beauties were entered
under Glass A
In the third race, Glass B, Happy
Bob, entered by c. G. Hall, Maid of
the Mist, by S. L. Sills, and Haygood,
by W. T. Maynard, were the entries.
Happy Bob won first and third heats
in 1.2O and 1.16.
Maid of the Mist won the secono
heat, doing the trick nicely in 119.
In Glass c. Make Bee, entered by
Will G. Turpin, and Dandy, by Turpin
Bros, were the entries, Make B win
ming two straight heats, the first in
1.12A and the second in LOS. This
was one of the prettiest races of the
day.
The fifth and last race was between
Lady Gay and Happy Bob, the win
ners in the A and B Glasses. Interest
was at the highest as these fleet
steeds went round the course, Lady
Gay coming under the wire in the
lead in 1.19.
1t was a fine race, as were the four
other events, and the audience enjoy
ed it. The main handicap races will
be run here September % and oath.

VOTE 2 TO / AGAINST
ANDERSONVILLE
President u. D. 6. Will Fol-
low Majority Lead.
For Andersonville, 5.
Against AndersonyilIe. 10.

Against AnderSOnV1Ile, 10.
This is the result of the voting
now going on among the various
Chapters of the state in regard to
the site for the Wirz monument, so
far as reported.
Up to noon yesterday Mrs. J. E.
Mathis, of the Site Committee, had
received answers from fifteen chapters
which had voted on the proposition at
the September meetings Ten op-
posed the present site and five favor
ed il.
Miss Baxter, State President of the
I. D. c., and chairman of the Exc
cutive Committee, has notified the
various chapters that in the event
that a majority of the chapters in the
state express themselves that way,
she will call the committee together
for the purpose of stopping prepara-
tions for the setting up of the monu-
ment preparatory to the dedication on
October 81.
PROVIDED majority ask for post
ponement, the matter will go over to
the Savannah convention the latter
part of the month: In that event
it will be a cfnch that the site will
be removed from Andersonville. Whe-
ther or not Americus would be select
ed, would still be an open question
1t is considered probable that as
many as fifty Chapters will be heard
from by the close of the week As
the total number of chapters in the
state is ninety-four, this will consti-
tute majority. Unless the returns
are close, the result can be accurate
ly forecasted at the close of the pres
ent week

A handsome double store has been
opened by D. Pearlman, the we'll
known merchant, at 307-9 Lamar

WILL ORGANIZE
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Call to be Issued Early
Next Week.

A letter was received from the Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee
yesterday by Mr.. G. r. Ellis, a mem
ber of the State Committee, urging
the organization of Democratic clubs
in the counties in this section of the
district.
In response to this request, Mr..
Ellis, as a member of the State Com
mittee, and Mr.. EA Nisbet, County
Chairman, will early next week call a
mass meeting for the purpose of or
ganizing in Sumter county,
While there is no doubt about re-
suits in any county, yet by means of
the organization of clubs a much larg-
er vote can be polled. General apathy
is believed to be poor commander in
any election, and it will be humiliat-
ing to Georgians if the state does not
roll up very handsome majority for
the state and national tickets.
Previous to the meeting the two
gentlemen named will confer with
other Democrats in the city and coun-
ty, and will endeavor to arouse a wide
interest in the movement. When the
night of the meeting arrives, it is
hoped that there will be very large
attendance. Plans for the campaign
will be outlined and perhaps a COM
munication from the State Committee
will be received.
AS indicated by the letter yesterday,
the movement to organize Democratic
clubs is general over the state, under
the direction of the committee
A week aga Mr. Ellis wrote the State
Committee on the advisability of such
organization, and his suggestion, no
doubt had some weight in the proposed
scheme.

RIG THEATER COMPANY

II. T.. Stanley to Present Majestic The

EIy Public

Fly
For one week at least the play go
ing public of Ely City and Ely will
have an opportunity of witnessing
high class performances in the way
of dramatic productions by the Ma
jestic Theater Co. The troupe ar
rived in the city last evening on the
regular passenger and opens week S
engagement here tonight, opposite
the court house. The company is
equipped with a large tent arranged
in such fashion as enables the pro-
duction of plays to good advantage,
as well as affording comfortable ac-
commodation for audiences of large
size.
The manager, r. Z. Stanley. prom
Uses the presentation of company
of artists in vaudeville and drama
equal to any seen anywhere and will
produce repertoire of plays at pop
ular prices that will please all and
he endorsed by the most exacting.
For the opening bill strong south
ern melo-drama entitled "A Daugh-
ter of Virginia" will be produced and
| ii is safe to say that a large audience
will be in attendance. There will be
a change of program for tomorrow
night as well as for the remaining
evenings of the week.
Owing to the fact that the COM
pany could not reach Ely until last
evening it was impossible TO erect
the large tent in time for the open
ing performance until tonight. 1t is
probable that arrangements will be
made for running train service be-
tween Ely City and Ely for the ac-
commodation of those desiring to at
tend the plays during the week.
