Seldom have they found a county

done on $4,000 acres when hun
dreds more of intelligent, progressive.
ambitious white farmers have settled
on them, as they will n the next de

of tie untold tens of thousands OF
bushels Of corn, ana of oats, that win
be added to its already large crops Of
these grains, think of the additional
thousands upon thousands of tons Of
hay that viii be taken from its fertile
fields. think of the train loads of

Iorehards. We all know what Sumter
is now doing, We all know the~ prog
ress it has made, but do any of US
really appreciate what the future
holds in store for it, what its annual
output N agricultural wealth will be
wfen the next census is taken?
Nowhere in the land today, South or
North, East or West, is there a county
with a brighter future assured it
than Sumter has looming before it.
And on this prosperity, in the promo
ton of which Amer'cus will play its
part, will be based the progress and
prosperity Of a greater Americas. The
future holds nothing but encourage
ment for city or county. Well may
Americas and Sumter smile with a
confidence begotten of a faith that is
built on the rock of solid facts. There
lis no room for aught save optimism

studies the future of Sumter and

And finally Hoke Smith reiterates
for the third time, that he will not be

really formidable opponent to Gov.
Brown that could have been brought
into the field.
Strange, isn't it, how politics work
around. A few months ago the public
was expecting one of the hottest cam
paigns Georgia has ever known. The
Smith organs had the former governor
stripped for the race, thoroughly rub
bed down, and everything in readiness
for the starters announcement. But
THE winner of the Grand Prize in the
great State race of 1906 baked at the
tape. No race for him this year. The
little lean, lank Brown horse that car
ried off the honors in 1908 seemed to
have taken the spirit out of the winner
of 1906. And WHEN the gong is sound
