The Lincoln Centennial celebration
at the c. A. R. hall Friday evening,
was attended by crowd which filled
the hall to overlooking. Old soldiers
from over the entire county came to
Plymouth to be present at the cele
braron, given by Miles Tfbbitts post,
aided by the Women's Relief Corps
The program lasted from 500 o'clock
until 1000 and consisted OF interest
ing numbers throughout. The pro-
gram was opened by a song by the
Methodist choir. Rev Plug gave the
invocation, after which the audience
joined in singing THE tSar Spangled
Banner" The address OF the evening
was delivered by Herbert E. Hess.
In a we'll prepared paper, Mr. Hess
reviewed the great work done by the
Emancipation, what his mission on
earth was, the effect it should have
uporfe mankind OF tle present age
The address was we'll received, and
appreciated by all who attended the
celebration. Miss Ida Haines OF the
Women's Relief Corps recited the
Gettysburg speech, and made COM
ments thereon. As a prelude to that
great masterpiece OF the great man,
Miss Haines traced the history Of
L'acoln briefly. gave a history of the
battle of Gettysburg, and told how
the Grafton happened to be delivered
and why Lincoln's speech has endur-
ed, while that of the great orator
Edward Everett, who also spoke on
the battlefield of Gettysburg, has not
been handed down in history, and
preserved SO zealously.
After the recital by Miss Haines
the audience joined in the song
"Tentipg tonight on the Old Camp
Ground which was followed by
Camp Fire talks, made by Judge w.
B. Hess, William Bailey and others.

Mr.. Hess Address.

The principal speaker of the even
ing was Herbert E. Hess who spoke
in part as follows:
THE conditions of life in which
Line oln grew to manhood have well
nigh ceased to exist in even the new
err sections of the country. He was
reared among scenes of absolute pow
erty with scanty allowance of educa-
tionaa advantages, a total stranger to
the refnements of good society, a
rude unkempt boyhood spent amid ig
norant though reliant companions, a
home in a rude cabin in the midst of
little clearing surrounded by the
deep solitude of the primeval forest,
father who belonged to that class
OF southern men known as poor
whites" with nothing in his environ
ment to sweeten lot OF hardship
and call into play the dormant powers
OF keen and powerful intellect. How
wild at that time would have seemed
prediction that the day would come
when the gaze of the whole world
would be upon him and he would be-
come the evangel of liberty to more
than four million human beings.
When Lincoln became president in
1860 there followed period OF sober
and serious reflection. Men instinct
| lively felt that troublous times were
coming, when wisdom, courage and
prudence were to become necessary
qualities in the nations leader. Would
these qualities be found TO be the en-
dowment of the western rail splitter?
We know that Lincoln went down
the Mississippi TO New Orleans and
while there visited a slave market
There he saw a negro girl handled
and examined bv men as though she
were some biue-ribbon type OF full
blooded pedigred live stock He
heard the sharp rapping of the ham
mer. heard the high voice OF the
auctioneer and saw her sold into a
bondage of everlasting ruin and dis
grace. This slave scene made his
blood boil, and with hs great strong
fists clenched he registered a solemn
oath in his heart to henceforth dedi-
cate his body and mind to the end
that such scenes should no further
be permitted TO desecrate the pure
sweet air of heaven; no such scenes
further disgrace the free soil of the
American nation. History records
how he kept that oath
He came into the presidency find
ing the nation "a house divided
against itself, half free and half
slave Lincoln seemed to have had
an almost Enfailible Judgment and
when the time was ripe and oppor-
tune. with tire Civil war raging at its
highest pitch, with the balance of the
war scales just little in favor of
Northern armies, he arrived at the
firm conviction, that as a military
measure the emancipation proclama-
ton could be effectively used as a
power to save the union, then the
shackles from four million souls were
shattered forever; but had there not
been an innate comprehehs:- = OF

THE MONEY WAS TENDERED
BY MEMBER OF COUNCIL
But Declined as Coming From an III
diyidnal,

That $12 account which the South
ern Printers has presented the city
council for some time and which still
remains unpaid, is as far from settle
ment as ever, despite the fact that
council in open session has voted to
pay the bill, and has so instructed
City Treasurer Hawkes.. Five MEM
bers of that august body have voted
to pay the bill, while two members
oppose and thus the matter hangs.
Quite recently, it is said, member OF
the aldermanic board, who hitherto
had opposed payment of the bill by
council rendered Mr.. Caruthers OF
the Southern Printers the full amount
of his bill, offering to pay 1t as an
individual. Mr.. Caruthers promptly
declined to accept the money upon
such terms, saying that the city OF
Americus and not an individual mem
ber of council owed him the money
and it must come from that body if
paid at all. The city is good for the
debt, all right, and the money must
come through the regular channels
if the Southern Printers are to be
paid for their work.

Col. Hooper Has Purchased Resi-

The fact that Col. Frank A. Hooper
and family will remove from Ameri-
Gus to the capital city to reside short

hundreds of friends in Americus,
where they have lived for so many
years. Col. Hooper, as general coun-
sci for the Empire State Mutual Life
Co, and largely interested therein,
has business interests in Atlanta,

Fifteen Cents, Says Hudson.

Il really think cotton this year will
go as high as Is cents a pound. This
will not be the case if the farmers
push their cotton into market and
depress the prices.
"The higher prices will come later
in the season. However, with the
good prices secured and the big crops
raised in the state, cotton should not
be the only crop by any means. Di-
versified farming should be taken uT
on larger scale.
by raising good crops of the va
rious foods and letting cotton be the
surplus crop the condition of the far
mer would be improved materially il
very short while"

The "rummage sale" so successfully
conducted yesterday by the ladies of
the Hospital Association, will be re-
peated next Saturday. The ladies

housekeepers and all others to thus
contribute. They ask that the ladies
old maids included, and even "Mr.

and make such gifts of clothing, etc,
as may not be needed. All such arti
cles are saleable, and wanted for tie

TEAM HAULED ELEVEN BALES
OF COTTON TO AMERICUS.
Again Is the Good Roads Record
Broken Here.

When a two-mule team pulled ter
bales cotton to Americus three weeks
ago over one of Sumter's good roads
the fact was heralded as an event OF
interest, and such it was, as the feat
has been performed in no other coun-
ty in Georgia or in the South, for
that matter Yesterday the bale rec
ord was broken when a four-mule
team from the plantation of Mr.. Thos.
b. Hooks hauled a wagon piled high
with eleven 500-pound bales to Coun-
ellis warehouse here. Never before in
Georgia has eleven bales cotton been
hauled to market on a farm wagon,
and Sumter's good roads hold the rec
ord.

100 BUSY AT FARMING

Talks About Is Cent

tics Now.

Il am farming this year, and too
busy to talk politics; next year will
be time enough for that" was the
cheerful salutation of Col Tom Hud-
son, state commissioner of agricul-
ture, as ahe alighted from the Central
train here last night to spend the day
at his home in Americus.
Col. Hudson had put in a busy day
at Yatesville, up in Monroe county,
and was glad to get home.
He does not talk of reports that he
would be candidate for Congress
from the Third district Il am farm
ing-have nice crops" he says.
However, friends of Mr.. Hudson
throughout the state have been watch
ing his movements of late and the
prediction is freely made that he will
be in state politics to a greater ex-
tent in the next few years TINA many
think at this time.
His strongest supporters think he
will be a candidate for Congress in
1912. Next year it is probable he will
only offer for reelection as commits

The South on Top Finally.

Discussing crops in general Mr.
Hudson said: Recently | have been
through the biggest part of the cotton
belt visiting Mississippi, Tennessee
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas The
further west you go the poorer crops
seem.
I'm Georgia the crops have been un-
usually good, especially in South
Georgia. The showing of the south
ern section of the state is much bet
ter than that of the middle and north
ern sections This is true even with
the shortage in some of the crops
My estimate of the cotton crop for
Georgia is over 100000 bales. In
fact, 1 should say from present pros
poets that the crop will be between
100000 and 100000 bales.
THE cotton crop will run between
100000 and 11,50O,000 bales. The
estimate made by Harvie Jordan that
cotton raised in Georgia alone this
year would net $1O0,OO0,0OO is a very
good one.
But when an estimate is made
these days, with cotton at u and
IL 1-2 cents a pound you must take
into consideration the fact that the
price does not mean what eight-cent
cotton did not many years ago, when
the cost of production did not amount
to so much.
