Road Building in Sumter.

The Sumter Item Is not discour-
aged because Of the failure Of the
$150.000 good roads bond issue which
was voted on in Sumter County last
Tuesday. the election being carried
by the opponents Of the bond issue
by margin Of votes out Of 500.
The proposition appears to have lost
through the failure Of many Of its
advocates to take the trouble to go
to the polls and vote. In all the city
wards with one exception a very light
poll was recorded whereas several
OF the county precincts voted heavily,
and almost solidly against the pro-
posed issue Of bonds. Shiloh. for ex-
ample, cast 6S votes against the pro-
position and only votes in Its ia
vor. At Concord the vote stood 9S
to against the proposition.
The natural surmise is that the
farmers voted as they did in the be
lief that the roads which would have
been built had the bond issue. gone
through would benefit the automobile
lists while being paid for by agricul-
turists, mistaken conclusion in so
far as 1t fails to appreciate that the
bond issue gave to the agriculturalist
the opportunity Of receiving from all
the interests Of his county, including
the railroads, the various corporations
and nonresident property owners
assistance in the making of an invest
ment of which the agriculturist would
be necessarily the largest bene-
ficiary.
Whatever the reaons which prompt
ed them to antagonize the bond is
sue. the citizens Of Shiloh and Con-
cord worked against their own well
fare in so doing. The better the
highways between the town of sum-
ter and the Shiloh and Concord COM
munities the more valuable will prop
erty in those communities become
and the more profitable will be the
products which are there brought
forth. That the people Of Shiloh and
or Concord and of the other rural
precincts in Sumter County can be
brought to see the matter in this, its
true light, we do not doubt. In the
words Of The Item. "the defeat OF the
bond issue is merely setback, a
temporary postponement Of the day
when good roads will be an actuality
In every neighborhood."-Ne and

THE BOIL WEEVIL PERIL.
Another Warning to Farmers To
Fight the Boil Weeyil Before It
Gets Here.

Atlanta, Aug. 27.-Cnless the
farmers Of Georgia heed the warning
of the coming of the boil weevil to
| this State the cotton tragedy of Mis-.
sissippi will be repeated in two years.
This is the opinion Of J. d. MCGEE,
Of Knoxville. Ca. one Of the sixteen
demonstrators named by the United
States bureau Of plant industry to
tour the boil weevil belt this summer
and report the progress Of the raw
ages Of the pest.
The demonstrators met in Meridian
July 16, and travelled over the infect.
ed sections Of Mississippi visiting
Natchez. Jackson, Port Gibson, vicks-
| burg and many smaller towns. Sew
eral of the demonstrators are still in
the field and will finish their tour of
inspection at Baton Rouge August 80.
In speaking Of the damages
wrought by the boil weevil in Mis-
sissippi and Southwestern Alabama,
| and the likelihood Of its reaching
Georgia within two years, Mr.. McGee,
who was a visitor at the office of the
commissioners of agriculture, Satur-
day said
Il want to issue a solemn warn
ing to the planters Of Georgia. those
who have not needed the approach
Of the boil weevil and even to those
who have.
IF the farmers Of Georgia do not
diversity their crops and do not take
all the precaution possible to begin
a fight on the weevil the moment il
makes its appearance on the Georgia
line, the tragedy Of the Mississippi
| cotton grower will be enacted again.
They didn't think that the boil
weevil would get to the Mississippi
| and the result was when it came their
| fields were laid waste and any num-
Der Of small planters were wiped out.
| Some Of them have turned to corn
and early cotton but the majority are
still bankrupt.
THE farmers Of Georgia SHOULD be-
gin right now to plan for the DIVERSE.
fication of crops and for planting
early cotton and for using the most
| approved methods in fighting the
weevil. 1t is the only thing that can
save the State and the small grow
ers from going the way Of the Mis-
sissippians.
| Il can not speak too strongly up
on this subject. l have seen the con-
| ditions and the rest of the demon
strators have seen them and they are
serious. s."-Augusta Chronicle.

due to the flimsy way In which the
modern cottages were built, practi-
cally all the houses destroyed were

Planted Trout In Grave Creek.

A state hatchery fish car came
up over the prairie line to Grange
Vile Wednesday evening with a
large consignment ofyoung trout
to be planted in streams in this
part of the county. Fifty thou
sand of the fish were unloaded
at this place and were taken
down and planted in pools in
Grave creek that night by Chas.
Staal, Fred Blackburn and Mona
Libbey.
The rest of the shipment was
taken on to Grangeville and 5O,-
600 trout were planted in White
Bird, Three Mile and Johns
Forks creeks while 5000 young
bass were turned loose in Tolo
lake. These fish are the first to
be planted hereabouts in any con-
siderable number and in a few
wears the fishing should be excel
lent as the young trout grow
rapidly and increase at an aston
ishing rate.

Hump Property and will In

to Extract Gold.

"A lease of the Jumbo mine te
H. M. Collette and associates Of
Helena, Mont, has been agreed
upon and active development of
tne .I, Dig Buffalo Hump property
VIII be commenced within the
next two weeks. Mr.. Collette
departed yesterday for his Mon
tana home to arrange to spend
the winter at the Jumbo and will
return within the next ten DAYS
to begin the installation of a
cyanide plant on the property.
Statement is made that the plant
to be installed will cost approx
mately $40, 900 and that the treat
ment of the tailings now banked
at the mine will be taken up this
winter.
The lease was secured by Mr..
Collette after the property had
been thoroughly examined by
Engineer Reibling, who has spent
several weeks on the property.
The report made by Mr.. Reibling
shows that large quantities of
ore carrying gold in paying guam
titles is available but the present
plant is not sufficient to extract
these values. The assay of the
tailings now banked at the mine
show that values to the amount
of approximately $50, 900 are de-
posted there and with the in
stallation of the cyanide plant,
the values of the ore in place can
be extracted and the property
proftably worked.
The Jumbo property has been
operated under lease to ]. w.
Reese, of Salt Lake, for the past
eighteen months and a deal was
recently concluded between Mr..
Reese and Mr.. Collette by which
the property should be released
to the stockholders who have now
agreed to negotiate an eight year
lease to Mr.. Collette. Saturdays

spring and they will probably
have no trouble in holding their
own on the normal gridiron this
fall. If they do as we'll in their
studies as they are pretty apt to
do on the track and field we will
have all the more reason to be
proud of them and point to them
as Camas prairie products.
