NEWS FROM
The MINES.

1t is reported that the ]. c. L.
mill will be started by the first Of
December.
A steady production is being
made at the Eastman mill, and
the underground development is
proving very satisfactory.
AT the Old Abe there is a big
lot of lead and zinc ore on hand,
but a better price is wanted than
has been offered.
We understand there is a deal
on for the Newlands property.
We wish some fellow would get
hold of the property and start it
running.
The Mission is producing very
steadily now. A Car of zinc ore
was sold last week, and a large
amount of both lead and zinc ore
remains in the bins.
The Wichita is pushing the
development into the ore body,
preparing the ground for the de-
livery of a large tonnage as soon
as its mill is installed.
Development at the Big Jack is
showing very rich ore in an open
ground formation in shaft No. 2,
while shaft No. 3 is being pushed
by the parties having the con-
tract for its.sinking.
A telegram received from Mr..
Moore of the Alabama says he
expects to be here in a few days
to start up the property, and that
his company expects to let its
contract for its mill at once.
A steady production of lead and
zinc is going on at the Mission
rs usual; if anything the lead is
showing better. This property
is the most CONSTANT producer
in the camp and has marketed
more than any other diggings in
the camp.
The Good Luck is making lots
of ore at the present time, and
as the development goes ahead
the ore body gets larger. The

GOVERNORS RACE
TWO YEARS AGO
Smith S Majority in Sum-
ter County Was l35.

With only two candidates to be
voted for in the gubernatorial prim-
ary, the interest is much more acute
than in 1906, when there were five
gubernatorial candidates, besides a
hot congressional race to further COM
plicate matters.
In the primary in 1906 which was
held on August %, the following vote
was polled for Governor in Sumter
Smith 704; Howell 493; Russell So;
Estill Is, j. M. Smith L. A total OF
1,277.
In Americus the vote was Smith
1894; Howell 337; Estill 10; Russell
So; J. NJ Smith /
Hoke Smiths majority in Americus
was 2 votes, and in the whole coun-
ty 135 votes
The registration two years ago
was nearly 1000, and this year it is
about the same. But in view of the
interest taken in the race it is regard
ed as probable that the vote on June
will be larger than in 1906
Should the Joe Brown side hold all
of the opposition to Gov Smith which
was manifested two years ago, the
vote in Americus would be about
equally divided But to carry the
county something better than that
would have to be done Much will de-
pend on the views of the voters in
excess of the 1,277 polled two years
ago in the gubernatorial race

COTTON SUFFERS
SERIOUS DAMAGE
Cool Winds Play Havoc in
This Section.

That the new crop has suffered SER
ious damage in this section of Geor-
gia by reason of the cold winds pre-
vailing for the past two weeks, is the
opinion of cotton growers.
Il must decide between now and
Monday whether l will replant or
plow up and start over again." said
Mr.. NJ B. Council a large planter
yesterday. Il don't know whether to
stop the plows and replant with hoes
or to do the whole job over. All the
sandy fields are in practically the
same fix
This is the worst | ever saw in
early May. And even plowing up
the fields and planting anew will be
difficult, for there is a great scarcity
of seed. Most of the farmers only
saved enough to plant the one time.
One man said to me yesterday that he
wanted to plant his whole crop over,
but did not have the seed nor did he
know where he could get a supply.
while the full extent of the dam
age done to the vitality of the plant
cannot be told for a week, it is GER
tain to be large. Even for those
who plant new, and can get the seed,
it will mean a crop three weeks late.
Il was over in Marion county a
few days ago. Two-t thirds of the
crop there will be planted again. The
stand has been ruined by the cold
winds
"The weather looks good for more
cold winds, and thi will stunt the
cotton which was large enough to
resist the cold Sand will be blown
into the young plant and it's value
much deteriorated."

FROST IN AMERICUS Is
A MARVEL IN MAY
Nipping Gold In MidSum-
mer Season.

Early risers in Americus, saw frost,
the real article, yesterday morning,
and this on May 9th and the season
of midsummer. For several days past
the weather here has been more like
that of December than May, and the
appearance of frost caps the climax.
Cotton is injured by this unreasonable
weather, and the downward trend of
prices does not help the situation a
little bit. Peaches and vegetables are
beyond the frost line and cotton alone
is hurt by the cold, although water
melon and canteloupe vines, still very
tender, are stunted thereby. 1t is
still cold enough for fires and over
coats, while the picnic, the latticed
shirtwaist and the low-necked shoe
are jolted into temporary oblivion by
the frost.

and ready for occupancy, Secretary
Lemly is corresponding with various
associations with the view of finding
competent physical director to be
placed in charge of the physical de-
partment and at the same time to as
sist the general secretary.
No effort will be made to start off
until after the building is furnished
in satisfactory manner and COM
plete in every detail No halfway ar
rangement will be permitted, but when
it is finally announced that the AS
sociation building is ready, it will
be complete in every detail. Just
when this glad announcement can
be made will depend in large measure
upon the response to the appeal for
funds.
Besides the baths, gymnasium and
reading rooms, there are number of
choice sleeping rooms on the second
floor, which will be for rent From
this source the income will be of con-
siderable size. Membership dues will
also be in order when the building is
