of four per cent. was declared upon
its capital stock of $4,000, besides
carrying a handsome amount to

r. V. Connerat southern manager

growth ahead of motor cars and get
in the game at the beginning. He had
handled many different makes, but
for the last five years has represented
the car which of late has been pick
ing race trophies with tiG facility
of an expert picking Elbertas.
There were many applications for
tenders of cars to blaze the way for
this run which will be historic and
which will mark an epoch in Georgia
road building, as we'll as in auto con-
tests. Some one lad to lead and Mr.
Connerat's thorough familiarity with
roads in the state was one Of the de-
termining factors in picking his car
to make the first tour.
Subsequent trips will be made By
the Velia from Macon, an Elmore from
Albany and probably Savannah and
an Augusta car.
Frank Weldon, representing the
Times Recorder and other papers, Will
make the tour and will take a pho
tographer to get pictures of roads and
of people who are interested in pro-
noting the contest Ellaville sends
word that a number of cars there VIII

PEASANT OWNERSHIP
NOT A go IN ENGLAND
Only $500 Persons Take
Up Small Holdings.

London, July 6.-The governments
movement to stop the influx of rural
laborers into the towns is not a pro
nounced success, according to the re-
port of the commissioners of agricul-
ture just made public. Only about
$1,000 acres of lands have been ac-
tually acquired or agreed to be
quired for small holdings by county
councils in England and Wales.
OF these, $4,000 acres were pur-
chased for $5,5OO,OO0, and 26,6O0 acres
were leased for rents amounting to
S183,0G0. OF this land vacant possess
sion has been obtained of $4,000 acres,
and slightly less than $4,000 acres has
been actually let to 2,793 individual
small holders, and % acres We're sold
to two small holders. In addition,
2,674 acres have been let or arranged
to be let to II cooperative small
holdings associations, who have sub
let the land to their members, and
1,648 applicants have been provided
with 10000 acres by private landown-
ers, direct mainly through the instru-
mentality of the county councils.
The land which has been acquired
but not yet allotted will probably pro-
vide for another 1000 applicants, so
that assuming that the associations
have sublet the land to not fewer than
200 tenants, a moderate estimate, tins
act has resulted in the provision of
land for about $500 persons.
There are several reasons why the
governments attempt to graft the
French system of peasant-proprietor-
ship on English soil is not succeeding.
In the first place, land is high and
is costing much more, in proportion,
in the small holdings; in the second
place the applicants cannot get choice
land; in the third place, it is being
found by actual experience of the En-
glish small holders that they cannot
as a rule make living out of th'eic
small holdings alone. The small hold
ings succeed only in certain localities.
The commission in it's report admits
these drawbacks when it says:
"The principal favorable conditions
are good soil, favorable climate, the
proximity of markets, the existence of
common rights and the presence Of
opportunities of outside work by which
the small holders may supplement
their incomes"
The commission SAYS it believes,
though, the small holdings system will
with a proper system of cooperation,
make it possible "to produce at home
a very considerable amount of the
butter, cheese, poultry, fruit, eggs and
vegetables which at present are i'm
ported from abroad"

tunate purchaser is Messrs. Harper
Brothers, of Anderson, S. c., the sale
being effected through the Southern

round sum of $4,000 was paid for
the property. This is but one of a half
hundred sales of Sumter county farm

chaser is more than delighted, many
of them having already refused to sell
their purchases to other newcomers
here even at a profit.

SIanderOus Prayer.

Springfield, H., July 6.-Rev. r. B.
Fisher, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Neago, ILL.,, has been made
defendant in $4,000 libel suit, fol-
lowing his refusal to tell the Lord

better man; cause him to pay his
debts and have him cease backbiting,"

a prayer which startled his congrega-
tion and started Stroll upon line of
action which eliminated in the suit
for libel Other faults" of the par
ishioner were recited in the minister's
prayer, and divine interference was
asked to rectify them.
Now, you'd better make another
prayer and straighten things up with
the Lord" declared Stroll when the
pastor concluded his prayer But Dr.
