be to the progressive farmer living
on an improved highway.
A planter whose place is ten miles
out on the new Smithville road, for
instance, can put a couple bales Of
cotton on this road wagon, be in
Americus in less than half an hour
unload the bales at the warehouse and
speed back home, probably not over
an hour consumed in the entire trip.
In six to seven hours he can deliver
twelve bales of cotton if there is no
actual waste of time.
1t would take a pair of mules prob
ably five to six hours to bring three
or four hales to town and make the
return trip, They would then not be
in shape for another return trip, while
the auto wagon could come right
along, if desired, for another two or
three trips.
The auto wagon, in other words,
could bring to town twelve to aixteen
bales of cotton a day, easily, against
three for pair Of mules And the ex-
pense for gasoline and lubricating ell,

of caring for and feeding q couple

EXPERT ON ROADS TO

Supt. WinSlOW In AmeriCuS

| Supt w. H. WinslOW, of the National
Department of Road Construction,
reached Americus yesterday from
Washington, and will spend several
days here in making practical de-
monstration in road construction, the
work being carried on under his per-
sonal supervision
Supt. Winslow is accompanied here
by Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, represen-
tative from the Third district, and at
whose instance Supt Winslow comes
here
Mr.. Hughes is a good roads enthus-
last, and wants the Third district to
have the best in the state.
These gentlemen were met upon ar
rival by members of the board of
county commissioners, who are en-
Enthusiastically enlisted in the campaign

The county commissioners have Sc
lected a half mile stretch of the Scales
Mill road, near the Josey farm, upon
which the Government expert will de-
mOnstrate. The theory of road build
ing and proper mixing of soils will be
fully set forth in the work in progress
Soil mixture will be an important
feature presented.
The soils here, clay and sand, when
properly mixed form the best compon-
ent parts of a good road, as demon
strated in the fine highways here al
ready, the equal of any in Georgia, and
Supt. Winslow, therefore, will have ex-
cellent material to work upon.
Several days will be spent in Sumter
by the Government expert, who prob
ably will favor other counties as we'll
at later date.

INJURY TO COTTON IN
Ten DAYS Is HEAVY
Sumter'S S Crop is Largely
CurtaiIed.
Stalk is Dying Up Under
Blistering Heat---Top
Crop Cut Off.

Cotton crop prospects which, ten
days or two weeks ago, were the
brightest in years, have undergone
material change as a result of the
blistering, burning heat, untempered
by rain, and estimates of a full crop
will have to be very materially revis-
ed, in the opinion of the farmers.
In fact, it looks now as though the
crop will be no better than that of
least season, if as good
In the greater portion of the county
adjacent to Americus there has been
no rain in two weeks and as a result
the cotton is turning yellow and fast
losing all life.
The ground beneath is strewn with
forms and young bolls.
The severe hot weather followed a
long season of rain, during which the
stalk filled up with sap, and took on
unusual growth. This cannot be main
tanned under present adverse condi-
tions, and the crop is suffering now
to a greater extent than at any time
this summer.
That the yield will be reduced fully
one-fourth, if not one-third from esti-
mates made two weeks ago is gener-
ally conceded.
The fruit is not on the stalk, nor
will it appear now. Small bolls are
shriveled, many of them dropping off,
while the grown bOlls are all opening
at once.
This brings about another unfortu-
nate condition, as storm period
seems threatening and vast deal Of
the open cotton will, necessarily, be
lost altogether or damaged to great
extent The force of pickers avail
able cannot gather the cotton as rap
idly as it is opening=in the fields.
A prominent Americus warehouse
man, whc8 made an extended trip
through q large section of the county
two days ago, states that the crop de-
terioratson is the greatest he has ever
kTlcswn in such a brief time. The crop
he says, is badly injured.

Messrs. E. l.. Bell and Edwin Bell
returned to Americus yesterday from

by their brother, Marion Bell. They
report his condition much improved,
although he cannot return home un-
til his broken limb is in better condi-
ton. While driving in trotting event
there Mr.. Bell leaped from his cart
to escape collision with another team
and in so doing severely fractured
his left limb above the ankle.

The good road work that is in prog
ress in this county has already made
it easily possible for number of its
large farmers to employ these We
hicles in the transportation of their
cotton from the farm to the market,
from plantations from one to twelve
miles away right to the warehouse
doors in the heart of Americas.

Now that it has made its appearance
in Sumter county, leading all South
west Georgia in the introduction of
improved machinery for the progress
sive planters, it is inevitable that it's
use will spread and that by another
crop the good roads now being built
will see many of the swiftly moving
machines bringing in the cotton to
this market
The Americus Automobile Company

other gasoline machines right along
