MAY BUILD SMALL
DORMITORY FOR BOYS
Must Stretch Capacity Out
at District College.

The County yesterday made it's final
payment, $666, on account of the Dis
trict Agricultural College and now
stana entirely free of any indebted
ness TO, or on account OF, that instl-
tuition
The Third District College, judging
from reports, is in better condition
than any of the other colleges. It's
accommodation are now fully taxed.
there being not single vacancy to
be filled. If there were room for
more girls, a large number would
speedily avail themselves of the OPP
portunities afforded by the institution.
AS it is there are a number in at
tendance at the college, and they are
reported to be making excellent pro-
gress in their studies. If the girls
dormitory had been Quilt there would
probably be not less than a hundred
girls in attendance.
What to do with future applicants
for accommodations is worrying Sup
erintendant Collum and his corps. 1t
has been suggested that large
wooden one-story dormitory could be
erected near the main building at IA
small cost, where accommodations
could be given. so far as sleeping
quarters go, to thirty or forty more
boys. 1t is probable that a frame
building now at the farm will be con-
verted into two sleeping rooms in
which perhaps fifteen to twenty boys
can be accommodated
The institution, in common with the
others, will receive about $4,000 more
from the tag tax than was expected.
Under the opinion of the Attorney
General all of the taxes set aside for
the colleges means the full collection
of this year and not merely the por-
tion coming in after the enactment OF
the law. Some $4,000 had been
already collected and paid out as
salaries, but under the opinion re-
ferred to the colleges will be reim-
bursed as to this, giving each about
$4,000.
The Third District College, in COM
mon with the others, suffers most from
the inability to secure the latest
improved farming apparatus, as well
as fin stock This will be remedied
as time goes on, however. The
grounds about the building have been
put in much better shape, trees plant
ed, etc, and inside of three or four
years the grounds will present a very
attractive appearance The beauty OF
the immediate surroundings of the
buildings will keep pace with the
improvemnt of the farming lands
which will be gradually brought to
the highest possible perfection.

VOTERS OF SUMTER TO
RALLY AT THE POLLS
Election Today of General
Interest.

Twenty-siX hundred qualified voters
of Sumter will have the right to vote
in the state election today for Gov
ernor statehouse officers, county Off
GERS, judges, solicitors and railroad
commissioners and all others upon
the ticket yard in length
And if he stops to read the multi
tudinous names thereupon the voting
will be delayed.
But not nearly $500 votes will be
cast todya. In fact, it would be
surprising if the 1000 mark is
reached, even with the heavy negro
vote expected.
But the voters should turn out in
force, whether or not they do so.
All of the nominees of the primary
ere entitled to cordial support There
is opposition to Gov-Elect Brown,
and while it is insign1Ecant all true
Democrats should put their seal
of condemnation upon independentism
in whatever form.
Yancey Carter will get but few
votes in Sumter
The liveliest interest, aside from
the gubernatorial vote and that for
county officers, is in the race for
pension commissioner.
Commissioner j. w Lindsey, who
holds that office most acceptably, is
a candidate for the place and will
doubtless get the major portion of
the vote here.
The colored voters here more than
500 registered, are going to vote the
straight democratic ticket from top
to bottom Their greatest concern
is in the disfranchisement feature,
and quite naturally they will vote
against it, as will others.
The polls in Americus will open
at Z o'clock at the courthouse and
close at 6 p. m. All of the county
precincts will be open as well.

HUNDREDS HERE ENJOY
THREE FINE CONCERTS
Rendered by the GUttenber.
ger Orchestra.

Not often is Americus offered the
privilege of enjoying such superb
music as that rendered here on yes
terday by the Guttenberger Orches-
ira, and the attendance at each of the
three concerts attested in the fullest
degree the general appreciation.
Many attended the first concert at
10 in the morning. In the afternoon
the hall was filled to it's capacity,
while last night the pavement in front
was blocked with ladies and gentle
men unable to get inside
Every seat was filled before 7:30
o'clock, and by there was not stand
ing room in the hall.
And it was a representative Ameri-
Gus audience, composed in the larger
part of people who could thoroughly
appreciate the superb program rend-
cred.
Composing the orchestra, besides
Mr.. Guttenberger, were Misses Fliss
Matthews and Guttenberger, violinsts;
Mr.. Ben c. Duncan, Mr. A Ponder,
Mr.. William Sampler and Mr. A.
Mauke
The concerts, morning, afternoon
and evening were given at the new
music emporium of the Guttenburger
Co. on Forsyth street.
Manager E. J. McMath, with the
assistance of Mrs. Mayes, made the
spacious hall attractive with decora-
tions of ferns and great vases of cut
roses. Seats for several hundred Wis
itors we're provided, while thrice the
| number stood.
Under the spell of such suberb
music the delighted audience stood
throughout the rendition of the pro
gram of two hours.
Each number upon the program re-
| ceived merited applause, the superb
solos of Mr. Duncan being especially
favored Gracious and obliging, he re-
sponded to many encores, his rich,
deep voice filling the spacious hall
with it's melody
And not until the last note was
saunded at 10 O'Clock last night did
the delighted audience of more than
500 ladies and gentlemen disperse in
order to permit the orchestra to f''
an engagement for the dance at tie
Elks Hall later
Mr.. Duncan and Miss Matthews will
appear in concert again this morning
at 10 o'clock, the other members hae-
ing returned to Macon

BEGIN SYSTEM OF SUB
CREAMERY STATIONS
One Will Probably be EStab-
IiShed at RiChIaRd.

A new movement has been started
in connection with the creamery
that may be productive of far reach
ing and highly beneficial results.
Yesterday Mr.. Milford Seers, of
Richland, was in the city in consulta-
ton with those interested in the
creamery He visited the plant and
was favorably impressed with the
opportunities it will afford the own
ers of cows over a large section of
country to handle their output of
cream easily and profitably
Mr. Seers proposes to open a sta
ton at Richland where he will buy
milk from the farmers of the sur
rounding country He will put in
small separator, ship the resulting
cream to Americus, and return the
skinned milk to the farmers to feed
to their hogs and poultry, or per-
naps, retain it for himself for the
same purpose on an extensive scale.
The feasibility of this idea of sub
stations is apparent at glance.
The cream can be shipped to the
Americus creamery cheaply and will
always be in demand here. This sys-
tenn will open ready market for
farmers for fifty miles around, who
could not afford to ship the milk here
in bulk
1t is not unlikely that the estab
lishment of such station at Rich
land would speedily lead to the open
ing of similar stations at Plains,
DeSoto, and other points along the
lines of the Seaboard and Central
railways There is seemingly no
reason why the creamery here should
not draw supplies from very large
territory and the keeping of COWS for
this purpose be tremendously in
creased during the next year or two.
1t is the belief that the railroads
would be willing to give very
satisfactory rate on the cream.

UNIFORM CHILD EDUCATION

Dr.. Leon Ebert Landone, president
OF the Institute Of Applied Sciences
and Arts of Los Angeles. has made
public the names Of the members Of
the new international educational
committee which proposes to perfect. a
system Of child education based on
the theory that the future Of the
child, its habits and possibilities. are
totally dependent on environment
The list includes:
Cesare Lombroso chimolosist: FL
bert Hubbard. Baroness Franchetti.
Italy; DR.. Adolf Ferriere, Geneva.
Switzerland; Prof Oscar Browning OF
Cambridge university, England; NJ
Bertier, director d'Ecole des Roches,
France; Caroline Severance, founder
OF women's clubs in America; May
Alden Ward. Boston: Booker T.
Washington; Wa Ting Fang, minister
of China to the United States and S.
c. Zavitzianos. Corfu, Greece
DR.. Landone's theory is that by TAX
ing child of the vicious type and
placing it in an atmosphere Of refine.
mont. surrounded by cultured children,
and keeping it in constant contact
with these conditions, il viii, in a
short time, be impossible to distin-
guish between the formerly vicious
child and his Or her new comrades.
Dr. Landone says the theory has been
placed in daily practice at the Los
Angeles institution and has been won
derfully successful.
The theory is one that may be ex-
berimented on with urofif Aud rlaoc
for the Improvement of the race are
certain to have beneficial effects if in.
diligently carried forward Too much
light cannot be thrown on the question
OF how properly to raise children.

THE JOURNALS EDITION.

Probably the most elaborate Christ

this year was that published few
days ago by the Muscatine Journal,
one of the five Lee syndicate papers.
There were forty-four pages Of solid
reading matter and ads, bearing sub.
stantial testimony to. the prosperous
conditions Of the Muscatine mer-
chants and the same bstantial testi-

The editorial and news gathering
forces Of a paper are pushed to the
limit in getting out the regular daily
editions. To quadruple the size ofsthe

per as the Journal has published
means to quadruple the labors of

under full head of steam at long

worth the effort and it's managing edi

no effect until the canvass is made.
The petition has been fled the bar
to prosecution has been removed, the
petition has become effective and we
are confident that no one now has
right to withdraw his name and that
any petition which may be circulated
by The liquor interests can have NO
effect whatever upon the situation.
There are claims made that some
people did not sign the petition. whose
names appear thereon, and that in
many instances the signatures do not
comply with the law Every man who
circulated, a petitfon"was fu1iy,infoi1i-
ed as to the proper method OF pro-
cedure. and, on making his return,
swore that the person signed The petit
ton himself and of his free will. We
have investigated this matter through
" and find no basis whatever for the
claims made. These claims are simply
put forth'to discourage and throw dust
in the eyes Of, the signers of the petit
ton.
We are satisfied that the petition
filed is in proper form and properly
signed by majority of the voters OF
Ottumwa and that the petition will
stand every test in the proper court.
There also seems to be some con-
fusion as 10 the cases that have been
commenced. AS to the case in Justice
court against one Hallgren.. we have
no knowledge. The prosecuting wit
ness, D M. Silence, has been employed
as a salesman for, the wholesale LIQUOR
interests. He did not sign the petit
nfI hos 4.
connected with the present movement.
We do not know what his motives in
the matter are His attorneys, Mitch
ell and Hunter. did not consult any
one connected with this movement in 7
commencing their action. We do not
intend TO assist in this prosecution.
as. we do not believe that 1t was com
menced in good faith. We do mott
feel that Justice OF the peace liz
competent or capable of understa nd
insly passing upon the legal questions
involved. We do not believe that any
decision he might make in the matter
would adjudicate anything and the
matter would not be settled by any
decision he might make. We do not
believe that anyone would be satisfied
with the decision of a justice Of the
peace in a matter of this Importance
II there should be conviction. the
line would not amount to as much as
the expense TO the county. This case
would make large expense to the coun-
ty and can do no one any real good.
An injunction case has been COM
menced in the district court against
this same defendant. This case was
commenced at our instance and we be-
iieve this to be a proper proceeding.
We believe that the validity OF this
petition should be passed upon hy
competent and capable Judge of a
court of record and that, if either side
is then dissatisfied, an appeal should
be taken TO our supreme court. We
intend TO prosecute this case vigorous
ly
If hootlegging arises. as it will tenn
poranly, We intend to take hold of that
phase of the situation and prosecute
all bootleggers TO the best OF o,tr abil-
ity.
