INTEREST GREAT
AMONG THE
FARMERS,
Corn Contest on Saturday a
Great Success.
One Hundred Sumter County Farmers
Competed With Their Best Corn
For the Handsome Cash Prizes
That We're Offered.

The Seed Corn Contest held at the
court house on yesterday was great
success. One hundred farmers sub
mitted corn for the three prizes offer
ed. There were also exhibits of fine
cotton, potatoes, stalks of corn, vel
vet beans and syrup
The exhibit had the appearance of
fair. Though all of the contestants
could not win, yet all of them had an
opportunity to see each others corn
and to secure better seed from those
who had better than theirs.
Mr.. E. Gentry, Of the q. IS. Depart
sment of Agriculture, and an expert in
corn Judging, said that the exhibit was
the best he had ever seen in any coun-
ty fair.
This speaks exceedingly well for
Sumter county.
There were about five hundred far
mers and business men who witness
ed the exhibit and many of them de-
clarei that they did not know that
Sumter had such corn.
The following are the prize win
ners
David Wicker, Americus-First
prize, $25.0O.
S. H. Edge, Americus-second prize.
$500.
J. H. Wood, Andersonville.-Third
prize, $1,000.
Mr.. J. R. Jordan, of ,Schley county,
also had an exhibit of ten ears which
the judge said was the best exhibit
presented, but due to TIE fact that the
contest was fer Sumter county, his
corn was excluded
Several Schley county farmers had
corn on hand which bespoke for them
progress In corn growing All of the
winners of prizes in the contest were
Sumter county farmers.
An impression got out that a Schley
county man got the first prize and
created bit of dissatisfaction, and
1t was decided that lis was the best
presented, but his residence in
iSchley county made him ineligible.
Mr.. Gentrys talk on seed selection
was an eye-opener to those present,
and was greatly enjoyed.
A county fair for next year was dis
cussed and it became evident that !
should fair be held another year it
will rival any county fair in the state.
The farmers seemed very much in
terested in it and wanted to lave an
interest in getting it on foot.

WILLING TO PULL FOR
A FAIR IN SUMTER.
Lee County Journal FdVOFS
Such Movement.

will Americus have a fair next
fall asks the Lee County Journal in
terestedGg. And, moreover, the Jour
nal gives many good reasons why
such a fair should be held in Amer1-
Gus and kindly tenders it's efforts for
the promotion of such an enterprise
as strongly advocated by the Times
Recorder.
The" Journal thus tenders it's ap-
preciated support:
TIE good will of the Journal goes
out to the citizens of Sumter who
have the question under consideration.
Lee county stands ready to contrib
ute its share toward making the
movement success. Americus seems
a logical point for the holding of a
fair that will attract the support and
aid of several counties in its imme-
diate vicinity.
IF the people of Terrell county are
able to support creditable fair, why
can't the people of Sumter an dneig1-
boring counties unite their efforts IN
holding fair in Americus that will
be helpful and profitable for all con-
cerned?
"Americus is much nearer and nat
urally a better suited place for the
holding of fair for the people of
this section than is Dawson.
Here's wishing success to the ven
ture, if the progressive citizens OF
Americus find it wise to launch such
a movement. Lee county's aid may be
small, but the Journal viii do all in
its power to marshal public sentiment
for the success of an Americus fair ;"

AMERICUS WANTS
BETTER TRAIN
TO MACON.
Petition to That Effect is
Signed.
Schedule Desired Would Greatly I'M
prove Trade Conditions Here
Macon Merchants Also Ask This
Change Of Schedule.

Americus merchants and business
men generally signed yesterday a
very lengthy petition addressed to the
Railway Commission of Georgia, re-
questing change in the schedule 81
two passenger trains of the Central
Railway which, if granted, will very
greatly improve business conditions
in Americus, it is said.
The Times-Recorder advanced the
suggested change in an article ap-
pearing in its Tuesdays edition.
This, in substance, Is to continue
on to Albany the schedule of the night
train, which now stops over in Amer
icus, and letting it arrive here at q
more seasonable hour next morning.
This would afford a local train ar
irving in Americus about 700 a. m
from Albany, Leesburg, lSmithville and
Sumter, thus permitting the people OF
these towns an opportunity to spend
the day here and return to their homes
early in the evening-about Z o'clock
At present the schedule is a very OBJ
jectionable one.
To come here now from these towns
they must arrive in Americus at 3:25
o'clock in the early morning, and re-
main until after midnight, before re-
turning to their homes.
Following is he Petition signed by
citizens of Americus:
To the Railroad Commission of
Georgia: We, the undersigned citi-
zens and business men of Americus,
Ga, respectfully request your honor
able body to take up with the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway Company TIE
gdvisability of changing the schedule
of trains Numbers Z and s, which now
run between Macon and Americus.
We request that you urge the advis-
ability of changing the present sched-
ule SO that trains can run between
Macon and Albany, instead of Ma
con to Americus, and leave Albany not
later than $50 a. M. and arrive in
Macon not later than 1920 a. M; !;
leave Macon at $3.50 p. m. and arrive
in Americus at s p m.
At present TIE train only runs be-
tween Macon ami Americus. 1t leaves
Americus at such an early hour and
arrives in Macon at such an early hour
that large majority of the people
along the line are discommoded hav-
ing to get up and leave their homes
before breakfast.
The night train does not leave Ma
con on the return trip until O'Clock
thereby forcing people to remain n
Macon all day and to reach home far
in the night and after the usual SUP
per hour. The proposed change will
better serve the travelling public and
will be greatly appreciated by them.
A copy of this petition is being
circulated along the line between Ma
con and Albany by the Macon Chamber
of Commerce and numerously signed.

fall privileges of the association with
! the compliments of the Board of Di-

euver Of the manual of arms and only
BY the employment of icatch-eon-
mands" were the ranks in anywise
rhinned
The final contest was between Ser
geant Payne and Corporal Croxtoa
and was so close as to necessitate
reference to the manual to decide a
mere technicality, whiciJ went as above
stated to Corporal Croxton.
Preceding this the gymnasium boys
of the association held spirited con-
test in the running high jump, the
running broad jump, the pull-up and
the running high dive from the floor.
In this contest Galloway led, with
total of IA points to his credit, hav-
ing taken one first place and three
seconds. Thayer was second, Wits two
first places. Then followed Taylor
with five points, Smith with four and
Giddings with three. The potato race
was deferred. . 4s~ ..-s
The evening was brought to fittins
consummation by the rendition OF
three most excellent numbers in the
spacious association lobby. Mr.. T. D.
