COUNTY TO RAISE It's
OWN FEED SUPPLIES
Will Use Old Poor Farm
for That Purpose.
Can Provide Its Own
Land. Labor and Fer
tilizers.

The coming year the county pro-
and corn it needs for its live stock
out on the county farm, the old poor
| farm, about four miles from the city.
All of the fertilizers from the coun
ty stables will be used to enrich the
soil of the fields that are to be given
up to this purpose. Already a num-
Der of loads have been carried from
the stable and placed in the fields
Other loads will follow BY the use of
this natural fertilizer, and such arti-
ficial fertilizers as may be. needed in
addition, the soil can Le brought to a
high state of fertility and made TO
yield heavily of corn, oats and hay.
1t is the impression that the old
poor farm can be brought to a point
where it will go a long ways toward
supplying the county live stock with
its feed supplies. Some of the con-
victs can be used TO advantage in
the work on the farm, better than in
the road work and the county will
be setting an example of living al
home" that may not be lost on others.
1t is not yet known how large all
acreage will be put into feedstuffs
for tie coming year but it is prob
able that a considerable slice of the
farm will be worked to advantage.
With feedstuffs commanding such high
prices, and likely to continue to bring
fancy values, it is regarded as an eco
nomical step for the county to utilize
the land, the labor and the fertilizers
in this way The stables during the
course of a year will provide an enor-
nous quantity of the richest fertilizers
that will do more to build up the soil
than the commercial fertilizers, and
great results may eventually be look
ed for from the county's operations
along this line

MANY SUMTER FARMERS

Time Not Far Distant
When Every Farm
VIII Have Phone.

Fifty-three farm telephones are now
in direct connection with the Amerl-
Gus Telephone Exchange, and the
number is steadily increasing.
The first telephone in farmers
residence in this county was put in
in 1903, six years ago. From that time
until 1907 very few additional lines of
this character were built Farmers
seemed to regard the telephone as an
unnecessary luxury. But two years
ago a different view of the position
of the telephone in the farm life be-
came apparent, it's great value be-
came better appreciated, and since
then there has been a steady increase
in the number i'll use. until today many
of the prosperous farmers of Sumter
county have their residences equipped
with these time saving and convenient
business and social appliances. Once
telephone is introduced into farm
er's home it is seldom taken out. It's
SSiSl al uliiAls DCNbllSS 81 apparent,
its position is soon so well establish
ed, that any thought of regarding it
as merely an experiment is soon dis
sipated
Several additional lines are now un-
der consideration and will doubtless
be contracted for. In addition to
these lines directly connected with the
Americas exchange the number of
local exchanges in the country tribu-
tary to the city promises to be in
creased and it is probable that with
in the next year of two the planter
will be able to stand at his phone, in
his home, and converse not only with
Americus, but with the other COM
munities of the county, and with
planters scattered all over Sumter,
Webster and Lee counties

BANKS HERE HAVE A
PLENTY OF CASH
Gould Pay Off All Deposit
OrS in Full Now
And Not Call in Loans
They Have Made---In
Finest Shape.

If the banks OF Americas were call
ed on to do so they could probably pay
in full all of their depositors and not
find it necessary to cali in their loans.
That is the statement that is made
by banker we'll posted in the status
of the local institutions.
The other day when the state bank
examiner came through, after in
specting the Americus banks, he paid
them the compliment of saying that he
had never seen banks in better shape
than they were
The banks are literally loaded down
with money. Most of it they have in
their own vaults. Some of it they
have deposited to their credit in Sa-
vannah, Macon, New York, or other
cities. But it is all available cash
In addition, of course, they have
large sums out on loans, but it would
not be necessary to consider these
loans if they found it necessary to
provide for the payment of all depos-
its.
This is remarkable condition and
one that does not often exist.
1t is the result of the large move
ment of cotton and the heavy result
ing deposits.
Banks do not care to have their
vaults loaded up with idle money.
There is no profit in it to them. Money
that is moving actively, carrying on
the business of trade, performing it's
normal functions, and earning inter
est for them, that is what the banks
want
But just now there is plethora of
the spot cash, and it is likely to be this
way for time.
No city in the state has better man
aged financial institutions than those
of Americus. Carefully administered
promptly and fully meeting the needs
of the community in every respect,
they are one of the features of the
city's active life that tell for its fu-
ture upbuilding. Banks with ample
assets are a great factor in the de-
velopment of trade, and Americus is
signally blessed in this respect

EXHIBIT Is READY TO
SEND TO THE FAIR
AmeriCuS School is Repre-
Sented There.

The Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical School will have an ex.
hibit at the State Fair when it opens
on next Wednesday, While no thought
OF such an exhibit has been. entertain
ed by the management of the school
when request for an exhibit came
from the Fair Association, only few
days ago, it was readily decided to
place at the fair the permanent shop
exhibit OF the school. The exhibit
was packed yesterday for shipment to-
morrow.
Had the idea been entertained ear
lier, or the invitation had been receiv-
ed earlier, larger and more diver
sified exhibit would have been made
However, the school is now plan
ming a permanent exhibit to be made
at the school, that will fully represent
all the work anticipated to be done at
the school, which exhibit will be ready
at any time to be transferred to any
place for exhibition purposes Only
exhibitions from the shops will be
shown at the Macon Fair.
Only such articles are being ship
ped as are now at the school Hun
dreds of such articles are at the
homes Of the pupils, where they are
advertising the school throughout the
communities where they are.
Some of the articles packed yester-
day were as follows:
Magazine stand, made by j. W.
Spires, valued at $6 costumer, Enoch
Sawyer. $3.50; writing desk, Homer
France, SIG; book rack Watson Raj
ney 50; taboret, by Mack Goode, 50;

shop tongs and tools, Homer France.
A number of razors and miscella-
neous articles not credited to individ-
uals.
A permanent agricultural exhibit
will be collected by the next State
Fair for exhibition A gentleman who
was recently in Americus and who
had visited nine of the agricultural
schools of the state. said the Ameri-
Gus school was doing more industrial
and mechanical work than the entire
nine that he had visited.
Along with the exhibit will go 2
mass of literature advertising the
school, 1t is through this wide adver-
tising that has brought so many pn-
pills from all parts of the state.

PICTURES TO MOVE NO
MORE UNTIL JANUARY.
Opera House to Close on
Pictures.

No more moving pictures at the
opera house until some time early in
January. Such is the statement OF
Manager Dudley, as one result of the
enforced closing of his theatre by the
city authorities, pending the installa-
tion of fixtures insuring better protec-
ton against possible accidental fire in
the place.
Some time will be required for this,
and in the interim the moving picture
show is cut out
This announcement will cause re-
gret to hundreds here who nightly at
tended the high-class vaudeville and
picture shows there for nearly two
years past
According to the requirements Of
the insurance people, the management
must have the machine flashing the
moving pictures encased in sheet
iron booth, lined with asbestos, as a
protection against accident and possi-
Bile fire. 1t will require two or three
weeks to install this booth, Manager
Dudley says.
This long delay will necessarily
break into the arrangements made for
actors, and daily shipment of picture
films from New York.
Then, too, number of theatrical
attractions are booked for the next
two months, to which the moving pic
lures would, necessarily, have to give
way These conditions, combined,
have induced Manager Dudley to close
out the moving picture feature for the
present, and until early in the next
year.
So the opera house will be dark ex-
cept when regular theatrical engage
ments are on there.
1t costs $50 nightly to give the pic
lures and vaudeville bill, such as were
presented recently, and Manager Dud-
ley suffers much loss by the enforced
closing two nights this week from
contracts already existing
Several fine theatrical attractions
are coming on now in rapid success
sion, beginning this week
After Hanford comes, Strongheart
Paid in Full, Lion and Mouse, Corbin's
Minstrels, The Climax, Servant in the
House, The Burglar, Polly of the Cir
Gus, The Royal Chef, House of Thou
sand Candles, Parsifal and many
others equally meritorious The sea-
son will be one of the best here in
many years.
A splendid audience will greet Mr..
Hanford Tuesday evening.
