Near AmeriCuS.
Sumter County Land is
Still Bringing Splen-
did Prices,

The sale of the Hill plantation Of
1000 acres lying south of Americus
and four miles of Smithvi1le, reported

cles here. The farm belonged to the
estate of the late Mrs. Pauline Allen
Hll and is considered ar excellent
one.
The purchasers are Messrs. Logan
and Andrews, of Americus, who took
it as an investment. The price is
considerably more than $4,000, it is
said.
The sale was made through Messrs.
w. S. and G.. w. Andrews, real es-
tate dealers of Americus, and the pur-
chasers are highly pleased with their
splendid investment in a fine South
Georgia farm
Recently the Messrs. Andrews have
made sales of $500 acres of farm lands
aggregating more than $4,000.
They have sold quite lot of farm
property in the last four months. They
are in touch wit ha number of peo-
pie in North Georgia, Tennessee and
the Carolinas who are coming here
this summer to buy farm lands #
they can get what they want at the
right prices. One of the Messrs. An
drews states that he is going to see
these people and get them better ac-
quainted with what this country is
before they come to see IT. They are
doing all they can to advertise this
section of the country and are sure
they viii induce quite a number of
people to locate here this year.
The Central railroad runs through

MANY TAKE LUNCH viii
The HOSPITAL LADIES.
Will Be Served By Them
Every Day This Week.

The ladies of the Americus Hospital
Association are looking forward to a
week of extreme activity. Yesterday
Nthey began the serving af midday
lunch anl light luncheons later, at
the old postoffice building on Forsyth
street The results were highly sat
| isfactory Many friends of the hos
pital, eager to show their apprecia-
ton of the efforts of the ladies in be-
half of its new site fund, took dinner
with them. An excellent lunch was
served from midday until 2:30 p. M,
one of the best ever given in Amert-
Gus for the price, % cents, and after
the dinner hour there were many
others WHO had light luncheon. To-
ward the supper hour quite a number
dropped in and were served with a
dainty luncheon.
Many ladies also attended the dem
onstration during the afternoon Of
the many uses to which Snowdrifu,
the cotton seed substitute for the old
hog lard can be put Snowdrift has
had a wonderful success throughout
the country, its merits winning place
for it as soon as it is used sufficiently
to be appreciated. The Southern Cot
ton Oil Company presented the Hos
pital Association with as many g.
ounce cans as it could dispose of,
the entire proceeds to go to the fund
the ladies are raising for the purpose
of buying new site for a hospital
building they hope to erect in the near
future. Many cans were sold yestec-
day and steady sale is expected
throughout the week.
Ten years ago the use of cotton oil
for edible purposes was in it's in
fancy. Today the Southern Cotton
Oil Co. sells annually 100000 bar
rels to bakers and others for this
purpose. Bakers soon found that the
oil goes further, and is more conven-
lent to use because of it's liquid form,
it being their custom to melt what
ever fat they put in bread. The use of
this oil has kept within reasonable
bounds the cost of other fats, the pro-
duction of which have not kept pace
with the world consumption. The
Wesson process deserves the credit Of
bringing about this large increase in
the use of cotton oil, which has con-
ferred the benefit of cheap fats upon
those who do not use it, as well as
those who do, by increasing the sup
ply of edible fat.
The South is by far the largest CON
sumer of oil, as well as Snowdrift Hog
less Lard, made from cotton oil, and
is rapidly becoming Independent in
respect to fat supplies of the corn and
hog producing states.
4 Lunch will be served today from
12 m. to 2:30 p. M, and light lun-
cheon thereafter There will also be
the usual demonstrations this after
noon, to which all are invited.

ESTIMATE ON COTTON
ACREAGE FOR 1910.
Placed at an Increase of
3.3 Per Gent.

AtopCGitAl " L 1l4IIC0-IGNCOIu utIs -
New York, May 3O.-With the view
of obtaining the most reliable infor-
nation possible concerning the cotton
acreage of the Unitef51&tates for 1910.
we addressed 1000 rlAers to banks
bankers, cotton commission merchants
and responsible planters, embracing
every cotton growing county in the
South, asking acreage estimates. Up
to this date we have secured 1869 re-
plies Of average date May 20, and the
fl lowing tabulation is the result.
In our opinion it is as approximately
correct an estimate of the cotton acre
age as could be secured by direct COM
munication with parties competent to
judge, residing in the Southern states.
