HEAVY DEMAND FOR
SOUTHERN INSURANCE,

Atlanta, Oct. 25.-Some of the most
noted bankers in America, northern
ers and southerners, are participants
in the Glidden tour which passed
through Georgia on its way to Jack
sonviIle.
While here they discussed finances
with relation to this section why is
it that the southern banks are COM
PEELED so often to borrow money from
the trust, to lend in turn to south
ern farmers to move their cottin
crop?" was one of the questions.
81 can tell you in a word" respond
ed an insurance expert who happened
to be one of the party, "the amount
of money sent north and east during
the past year for fire insurance pre-
miums alone equals fully one fourth
Of the banking capital of the entire
south. 1t is such drains as that that
makes it necessary for the southern
banks to borrow cash from the north,
and then the individuals who have to
borrow from the southern banks find
it more difficult, and more expensive,
for money is necessarily cheaper
when it is more abundant.
AS one solution of the financial prob
lem in the south, the speakers suggest
ed the keeping of insurance money at
home Whenever IT, is possible TO put It
in abs2lutoly reliable southern COM
Taaics.
During the past thirty years the
fourteen southern states have paid
$7O7688,387. On fire insurance pre-
miums. CT this only SGS,181112. was
kept at home in southern companies,
while sG35,5l7275 Was drained from
the south in to the Golfers Of northern

Philadelphia Oct. 26.-By winning
easily from New York, Philadelphia
today cinched the championship of the
world in the great inter-league series
which has been in progress for some
time. The victory of the Athletics was
decisive, as the final score stood 13
to in their favor. The game finally
drifted into a burlesque, while the JOY
of the Athletics supporters was un-
bounded.
AS the game won by the Athletics
today was the fourth one captured by
Connie Macks men to only two by Nc
Craw's squad, the playing of the sew
enth game scheduled was un-neces-
sary. Bender, the Athletics great
pitcher, was invincible for New York,
while Philadelphia completely batted
Ames out of the box and soon solved
Wiltse, who succeeded him. Meyers
did the receiving stunt for New York
and Thomas for Philadelphia.
Though the Giants took the lead in
the first inning, the Athletics quickly
overcame it. So decisive was the vic
tory of the latter that the game soon
developed into what was little more
than a burlesque, as 13 runs were
scored by the Athletics in the nine in
nings of play.
The condensed score was as follows:
R H E
New York 100 O1O OOO-2 2
Phila 001 4O1 700 13 13 )

FARMERS OF SUMTER IN
The MIDST OF PLANTING
Great Crop Of Grain viii Be
SOWn Here


Sumters farmers were never so
busy at this October time as at pres
ent, and the greatest grain crop in
years it assured next spring if the
seasons then are favorable. Recent
rains put the ground in good fix for
fall ploughng, and with many cotton
fields already picked out the farmers
are preparing to SOW oats. Sumter
county made this year the greatest
oat crop ever seen here, the yield Of
$50, 1000 bushels home-raised oats cut
down feed bills enormously this sum-
mer and fall, and the advantage OF
planting grain was thus made more
apparent.

HIGH SCHOOL
team IS OFF
FOR DAWSON
TO PLAY BASKET BALL THERE
Team Will Meet Dawson High
School Tonight

Lovers of basket ball will miss to-
night the regular Friday night games
that have been so greatly enjoyed here
recently. The reason is that two Of
the local teams will be out of the city,
consequently unable to participate in
the games.
The team that represents the Agri-
cultural College will be in Dawson,
where they will go as members of the
company of cadets who will represent
that institution in the exhibition drills
to be given at the Terrell county fair.
This will, of course, keep the Agricul-
tural team away from the field.
The High School team, which has
made an enviable reputation for itself
during the games played thus far, will
School team of that place. The alb
sence of these two teams takes away
half the membership of the local bas-
ket ball team, 50 that no game will be
attempted here.
The High School team has gone 10
Dawson confident of winning the game
to be played there tonight The mem
bers of the High School team are fast
and heady players, and success is pre-
dicted for them even though they will
meet a fast team on an unfamiliar
court. The game in Dawson will be
the first game played this season by
any local team with an out-of-town
team.
Though no challenge except that of
Albany has yet been received it is
planned to take up games with other
teams when they can be arranged.
The Mercer team practically always
comes in for game before the season
is over, SO that a game or two with
this team will be sought 1t is hoped
that the local team will have such
skillful players that they will be able
to cope with the fastest teams that
may offer challenge.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. ga report by
the State Democratic executive com
mittee, which met at noon to-day to
consider the question of a primary,
named Thursday December Z as the
day on which the primary to select
governor is to be held. This re-
port was rendered by the su-cOmmit-
tee Of seven, appointed for the pur-
pose of considering these matters, and
the report was later adopted by the
committee as a whole.
The committee adopted the county
unit plan, making no provision for a
run-off, or second primary. The can

gest number of the unit votes in the
state will be declared elected 1t was
forecasted before the meeting of the
committee that this would be the ac-
tion taken by that body at it's session
to-day. The committee provided for
no nominating convention.
Both the sub committee and the
committee as whole rejected the sug-
gestion made by EX Governor Brown,
who is "a candidate for reelection,
recommending that the liquor question
be submitted to the people at the pri-
mary. 1t was decided to assess the
candidates for governor $3.50 each, and
the candidates. for commissioner of la
Dor SIS each.
The subcommittee made no recon-
mendation on the suggestion made by
H. A. Stovall that the names of the
candidates for the Democratic nom
ination for the presidency be voted
upon at the primary. This matter was
tabled by the general committee until
December 12, so that expression of
opinion on the availability of presiden-
tial nominees will be avoided.
