Prof. w. N. Munson recommends
for treatment of old orchards to plow
as early as possible in the spring. har-
row at once and apply about 500
pounds of fertilizer to the acre, then
harrow about once in two weeks un-
til the middle Of August, when cov-
er crop of rye or spring vetch should
he sown. In working among the trees
he finds the traceless harness Of great
value. The exact time and method OF
tillage is not SO important as to be
sure that fair amount Of tillage Is
given.

Idaho, an administration which will be
credit to the state. He says he be-
lleves chat the present local option law
should be sufficient at least for the
present, because it is what the people
asked for. He has made it hot not
only for Governor Brady, but incident
ally for Miss Belle Chamberlain and
Attorney General McDougall, the three
members of the state land board asking
for denomination. Many people in all
parts OF the state say that neither one
OF these officials should be renominated.
The charges are that certain officials
OF the the board have been permitted
to secure special favors in the purchase
OF state lands through the inside infor-
nation which their positions gave
them. Governor Brady is not accused
OF having profted financially, but he is
accused of sitting by and permit
ting others to violate the law, and
OF excusing them afterwards. He
makes the weak defense that they
were following an established prece-
dent. He suggests that law be pass
ed to prevent officials from doing the
same things in the future, but he
makes no effort to punish them under
the laws which do exist, and which say
that state officials must not be pur-
chasers at any sale nor vendors at any
purchase made by them in their official
capacity"
b. F. O'Neil has boldly declared that
II he becomes governor these people
shall be punished.
Mr.. O'Neil is urging before business
audiences a business administration of
the state affairs and thorough inves-
tgation of all crookedness.

Heels to Match Walk.

"1n every theater audience there are
critical persons who are prolific with
suggestions for making the play more
realistic" said stage manager.
Some of these hints are worth con-
sidering too. III one play that was
staged not long ago the Biggest hit
was made by character actress who
had to wear down-at-the-heel shoes.
On the third day of the New York
run received a letter from a shoemak-
er, who called my attention to the fact
that the womans gait and her shoes
did not match. Her heels were run
down on the outside. whereas the walk
she assumed on the stage must inevl-
tably cause her shoes to run over on
the inside. That was a point that
had escaped the notice of everybody
in the company. Upon looking into
the matter we found plenty Of evil
dence to uphold our critic. and we Sc
cured a pair of property shoes with
heels worn away on the inside."-New

HIS JHUM IN DEVILTRY
IS LANDED IN JAIL.
Clements Says I'd Jones
Has Pal.
Admits He Was Shot
While ON Porch of the
Wheeler Home--Both
Coons in the Cage.

Freely confessing that he was stanl-
ing upon the verandah of Mrs. w. w.
Wheeleris residence and working al
the window blind when Capt T. i.
Simmons put pistol ball in his alb
domen, Cliff Clements, charged with
numerous burglaries here, duplicates
another coon, one Ed Jones.
Following Clements confession the
officers made haste to string Jones
as well, and the precious pair are now
in the county Jail, but occupying sep
arate cells.
Clements confession, with his pos
tive Identification by other parties
here, assures him a term in the peni-
tentiary, it would seem, and his BROTH
er, Bill Clements, also convicted OF
burglary, may go at the same time.
The numerous burglaries here re-
Gently and attributed to Clements, had
caused state of terror in many
households, and any citizen would have
esteemed it a privilege to have had
a shot at him. Fully twenty burgla-
ries here recently are laid at Cle>
ments' door.
Besides these, he is already under
bond for one or two previous burgla,
ries charged to him, and seems good
for a term in the pen.
So frequent were the nightly raids
during the past two or three weeks
that it was difficult to keep pace wits
all. These burglaries were of the
most daring character, and of a ma
ture that pointed very strongly to the
fact that more than one black scoun,
dred was engaged in it.
The bullet planted in Clements
bread basket is still there and may
yet, happily, save the county the ex.
pense of trying him.

Saw It's Advertisement
in Tradesman, Sent
For Pamphlet, and as
Result Became Citi-
zen of Sumter County.

Yesterday the peach farm of Mr.. w.
j. Josey was sold, with the entire
equipment of stock, machinery, etc
and the supplies and crops on hand, to
Mr. F. D. Mitchell, of Paris, Ontario
and Bluefeld, West Virginia.
The total amount involved in the
transaction is understood to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000,
The farm is located on the Plains,
road, about two miles from the
city, on a spur track of the S. A. l..
railroad. There are 200 acres in all,
of which 10 acres are in peaches, in
Guiding 10000 Elbertas, 1000 Gov.
Hogs, and 5000 Georgia Bellies, fiv4
and six years old. Fifty acres of tue
remainder are under cultivation, and
forty acres in woodland. There is a
residence on the place and three ten
ant houses, with outbuildings and the
packing house.
The purchaser of the farm left last
night for Bluefield, West Virginia to
close out his private affairs there, and
in week or ten days will be back
in Americas to become permanent
resident of Sumter county,
He will make his home on the farm,
making considerable improvements tc
the house and otherwise bettering tho
property as rapidly as possible.
The sale of the JOsey farm and the
removal Of Mr.. Mitchell to Americus j
one of the direct results of the adyer-
tising campaign begun by the Ameri-
Gus Board of Trade and continued by
it for two or three months until
it's funds were exhausted.
Among the papers in which the ad-
vertisement of the Board of Trade WAS
placed was The Tradesman, of Chatta>
nooga. 1t cost $13 for this advertise
ment,
Two or three weeks after the adver-
tisement was sent to that paper an
inquiry was received from Mr. F. d.
Mitchell, of Bluefeld, w. Va, asking
for further information A copy of the
Time Recorder with a report of the
monthly meeting of the Board of
Trade was sent him, with the state
ment that literature concerning Sum-
ter county would be sent in a few
days.
This brought the following letter
from him:
Bluefleld, W. Va, May 80, 1910.

ly report in The times Recorder for

products, prices of good farm lands,

PLANT IN HOTEL WILL
Be TURNED ON TODAY
The Power is Sufficient to
Light the City.
Elevator is Running For
First Time in Eighteen
Years--Other Splendid
improvements.

With it's own magnificent electric
plant OF sufficient power and capac-
ity to light the whole city of Ameri-
Gus, the splendid hotel property own
ed by Mr.. Lee G. Council is nov
brilliantly illuminated from basemen nt
to fifth floor and better than ever
before in its history of eighteen years
The lights have been thoroughly
tested and prove more than satisfac-
tory in every respect.
This independent plant insures con.
tinued service at all times, day and
night, affording not only lighting ia
cilities for the hotel and the Planters
Bank building as we'll, but SERVING
other ends likewise.
Thirty thousand dollars was expend-
ed by Mr.. Council in the installa-
ton of this modern and powerful elec-
trio plant, while addational thousands
were expended in wiring the hotel
and adding an equipment of new AMI

passenger purposes.
For eighteen years guests of the
hotel have wearily climbed three and
four flights of stairs, as former les
sees of the property would not operate
the elevator installed there when thu
building was erectd.
But conditions have changed under
the new regime
A new passenger elevator, driver
by electric power, now whirls tht
weary traveller to the floors aloft
while a freight elevator lifts the
huge trunks of travelling men to the
sample rooms on the fifth floor.
Away up there, ample and commod
ious sample rooms have been hand
somely fitted up.
In addition to these convenienceg
private telephones have recently
installed in all of the one hundred
bedrooms. These connect at a cen
trail office in the handsomely appoints
lobby. This system is owned by the
hotel, but connects with the Bell Tele-
phone Co.'s lines.
With steam heat on every floor ana
half hundred private baths INSTALL
ed, the comfort of guests of the ho-
tel is fully assured.
With the entire completion of the
building in the late fall, whrich has
been done at an expenditure of NOR
than $4,000, Americus will have d
hotel the peer of any in Georgia, when
modern oonveniences, general com
pleteness and architectural beauty is
considered
Then, to wipe out all vestige of its
former checkered career, the name
of the hotel will lbe hanged-making
the entire change complete.

beating his wife. 1t was said that
Floyd took a ne wbUggy whip ana

he burned the wind to Florida. He
