THE BLUE RIBBON FOOL.
Counting Woman Who Had No En-
istenCe He Spent $4,000.

The blue ribbon for champion
ship of long-distance stupidity ought
certainly to go to a man who lives
in Hartford, Conn. For fourteen
years, he swears, he courted a wo-
man who had no existence, and in
that time sent her no less than S.
900. An acquaintance described to
him, fourteen years ago, a beautiful
girl that he knew in Philadelphia
The Hartford man fell in love with
the description. The acquaintance
offered to act as go-between for the
Hartford man and the girl, which
offer was eagerly accepted. Several
letters passed, when the girl in the
case intimated that she was a bit
hard up for ready cash, and that if
her lover could spare her a little
something she would appreciate the
favor. The lover dug down into his
Jeans and gave the intermediary the
money. During the fourteen years
that trick was repeated at intervals,
without the confiding lover ever once
having glance at his sweetheart
Now he has discovered that there
never was a girl, and that the beau
tiful' love letters were written by the
man to whom he had been giving the
money

BULL AND AUTOMOBILE MEET
Both Put on High Speed, and Bull

ELI, Neb.-George Downey, living
on a sandhill ranch three miles south

in a wagon was a bit slow for a rich
Irancher, so he bought $1,000 tour

visitors to ride to one of the lots

reached the lot whore the Hereford
cattle were grazing the gate was
thrown open and Downey ran his
machine in. AS it ran toward the
bull he threw up his head and be-
gan to paw the ground.
Downey called, but the animal
took this for a challen e, and started
toward the machine. Downey put on
his high speed and the bull did the
same. There was a crash, and when
the dust and smoke had cleared the
bull stood over the wreckage, paw
ing and believing.
The automobile, with a broken
front wheel, a bursted engine, two
broken headlights and a completely

COTTON CROP is BEING
PLANTED IN SUMTER
Acreage Here No Larger
Than ysi Apr.

Farmers in Americus yesterday re-
port very busy week down on the
farm" as the season for planting the
cotton crop is at it's height, and all
over the county farmers are thus en-
ployed Not an acre more will be
planted this year in Sumter than last
year, the farmers say.
There is no additional labor for a
greater acreage, and besides, the high
prices of mules, meat and grain pre-
cludes any possibility of a larger acre
age.
Instead, the farmers this year will
plant less cotton, but fertilize it more
and work it better, thus insuring a
larger yield in lint at an even less
cost of cultivation. More corn and
oats are being planted this year than
last year in Sumter.
A. c. Lewis, assistant state ento-
mologist, has recently been in Ameri-
Gus, where he came to oversee the
sending out of the resistant cotton
seed that the state board of entomol-
ogy IS distributing this spring. The
seed they sent out this spring were
grown for them at the following
places.
Mr. Ed Howell, Vienna, Ga.
Col. M. B. Council, Americus.
Mr.. Jesse Faust, Plains, Ga.
Mr.. q. T. Wall, Ellaville, Ca
Mr. c. W. Sutton, Edison, Ga.
They have distributed the cotton
seed to over $500 different farmers.
Mr.. Lewis has been working on this
disease of cotton for five years and
has secured by continued selecting
and hybridizing several strains that
are quite resistant to the black root
disease. He recommends that the cot
ton be planted where cotton died last
year or the year before.
The cotton, however, should not be
painted after COW peas Except iron)
sugar cane, water melons and canta-
loupes, as these crops support the
nematode worms and this cotton is
not as resistant to these worm as it
is to the black root disease.

SMASHING OF TRUNKS BY
BAGGAGE MEN CEASES
Railway Commission VIII Protect The
Public.

Americus people who have been un-
willing victims of ruthless baggage
smashers will be glad to know that
at least little relief is coming their
way, for what is known as baggage
smashing" will soon become a thing
of the past in Georgia.
AS the result of numerous COM
plants from various sources, largely
from travelling men, the commission
is considering the idea of requiring
each railroad to place a baggage truck
at every station where it maintains
an agent.
Under the present plan at most sta
tions trunks are dumped directly from
the baggage car on the ground or up
on a wooden platform. In this way
they are badly Jared and soon come
to pieces

LIGHT SALE OF GRAIN
HERE TO THE FARMERS
Practically No Demand for
Corn and Oats
Farmers of Sumter Not
Buying Grain as Feed
to Raise Cotton.

Americus supply merchants. the
class of dealers who furnish far
!. mers their supplies of meat and grain
during the spring and summer, declare
that their sales of these commodities
are far less this season than in any
year during their career in busi-
ness.
The farmers simply are not buying
western corn and hay now, as in
previous years.
This is the best reflex of improved
conditions. in Sumter that has been
noted. 1t indicates that the thrifty
farmers of Sumter and adjoining
counties have turned over a new leaf
in their farming operations.
The greatest corn and oat crop
ever grown here in Sumter county
was harvested last year The acre
age of grain crops was far greater in
1909 than any previous year in the
history of the county, and the bene-
ficent effect of this plan of farming
is now apparent
Farmers here have feedstuff suffi-
cient tot make crop this year, and
will not buy western corn, hay and
oats, as heretofore.
One large dealer here states that
he has not sold a single car of corn
this year, or last fall, whereas in
previous years his sales would have
reached a dozen carloads by this
date. Yet not car of corn has he
sold, or even ordered, in the past
six months
Another dealer stated yesterday that
his sales Of corn and oats this year
were not twenty per cent. of his sales
last summer.
Meat is high, Is cents peg pound
wholesale, and about IS cents retail
and farmers are buying it very spar
ingly. Sumter's farmers, as rule
raise nearly enough pork to supply
their farms, and consequently they
are cutting out western meat and
corn alike
This fact reflects the splendid con-
ditions under which farming ois be-
ing conducted in Sumter county this
year

s Athens, Ga, March 24.-The State
college of Agriculture is anxious to
have requests or petitions for Farm
ers' Institutes sent in as early as pos
sible. Speakers can be had for these
meetings any time during the year, but
the most logical time for holding them
will be during the summer months,
when the farmers are not busy When
making requests, state the time meet
ing is wanted, and remember that
another claim may precede yours, so
please allow the committee sufficient
latitude to arrange the meetings con-
secutively.
The College wants to serve every
community as far as possible with
these meetings, and in order to do SO,
the schedule must be carefully worked
out. Itinerant meetings will be ar
ranged in the various sections of the
state to suit the convenience of the
people. Application must be made to
the Extension Department, State Col
lege Of Agriculture, Athens, Ga, for
these meetings.

ago.
While in the city this week several
strong .partisans of the former gov
ernor took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to assure him of their active
support in the event that he entered
the field again.
While tEe former governor did not
absolutely commit himself with a
statement to the effect that he was an
open candidate the impression left by
him was that he would probably be
in a position soon to call upon them
for the assistance they voluntarily
rendered him.
None of those who saw him anu
discussed public matters but were left
convinced that he would be leading
his forces in the coming state fight
and that one of Georgia's hottest BAT
ties was on the cards for the near
future
Those who felt tive ex-governor's
political pulse while he was here look
forward sanguinely to the gubernato-
rial battle Starting any time within the
next sixty days, and that it will be
Smith against Brown.
The only thing, they seem to be-
lieve from what they CLEANED recently,
that can interfere with or prevent
such a roundup of tie forces of dem
ocracy in Georgia would be a vacancy

event the former governor would 10

PRIMARY IN SUMlfR IN
The EARLY FALL.
For Members of legiS'e.
ture Here.

Sumter's voters may wait until the
good old summer time to nominate d
senator for this, the Thirteenth dis
trict, as well as her two representa-
tiyes in the lower house. 1t is even
suggested that date in August will
be named in order not to conflict with
primary laws.
And in the meantime the several
candidates here remain in the bushes
while keeping a weather eye upon the
race track.
Sumter has already disposed of her
primary for county officers, just a
week ago, but the nomination of men,
bers of the legislature is another prop
osition.
Some of the counties which haG
contemplated holding early primaries
because of a desire of the county Of
ficers to have their political status
settled and done with, are changing
their minds, since it has been shown
that they cannot, under the new pri-
mary law, legally nominate members
of the general assembly.
Some of the counties are still de-
termined to hold early primaries and
have their county affairs over and
done with.
But practically all of them have
taken warning with regard to nomin-
alton of members of the general as
sembly, which it will be dangerous
to make at any time earlier than
sixty days before the general election
