MORE PUBLICITITY FOR
AMERICUS And SUMTER
Novel Plan to Be Put Into
Operation

Further publicity for Americus is
planned by the Board of Trade in the
way of advertising the city and section
| by cuts of the AndeTsonville-ThOm
vile Route, as it directly relates to this
city and county, which are to be print
ed on the stationery sent out by mer-
chants and business men of the city.
This method of advertising has been
employed extensively by other cities
and many cities in the state, some Of
them near Americus, are now employ
ing it. 1t has proved effective and
profitable in every instance, so that it
is not an experiment but an approved
and worthy method of municipal ad-
vertising.
AS Americus and Andersonville are
the centers of interest historically ald
otherwise along the Andersonville-
Thomasville Route, it is planned to
have the cuts show a good portion of
the route above and below Sumter
county, with this city and section as
the objective point for the tourist and
traveller. These cuts will be made the
size of the standard business envelope,
so that they may be printed on the
back of these envelopes in either black
or red ink.
In order that this plan may be made
effective at once, the local job print
! ing firms will be asked to cooperate
with the Board of Trade in furthering
this movement. Cuts will be supplied
to these firms, and they will be asked
to show their public spirit and enter
prise by having these cuts printed on
all envelopes on jobs given by local
/ business men.
The far-reaching and helpful results
to be obtained from this method are
we'll worth while. This is the season
of the year when the job printers have
a heavy run on commercial stationery,
so that the plan may be put into oper-
alton very successfully this fall.
Secretary Clarence j. White, of the
Board of Trade, is the originator of the
suggestion locally, and he will give his
hearty cooperation toward putting il
into effect at an early date.

TAFTS VETO
MAY NOT KILL
THE WOOL BILL
HOUSE CONSIDERING MATTER
Coalition to Override PFGSi-
dents Veto

Washington, August 18.-The wool
tariff revision bill vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft was called up in the house
early today. Democratic Leader I'm
derwood, moved that the house, on re
consideration, pass the bill over the
presidents veto.
The house agreed upon a three
hours debate on Mr.. Underwood's mo-
ton. Representative James of Ken
lucky, democrat, led off in advocacy ot
congress carrying the bill over the
veto.
The support of the insurgent repEb-
licans in the house in the democratic
plan to override the veto was fore
shadowed by a speech of Representa-
tive Lenroot of Wisconsin, progress
i've republican and a close friend #
Senator La Toilette. Mr.. LenroCt
said the veto was based on ignorance,
not information.
At o'clock the republican whip,
Dwight, declared he had canvassed
the democrats and had fallen short of
two-thirds vote necessary to pass the
bill over the veto.
Interest in the debate became more
intense when news spread that
Speaker Clark would take the fioor
tC close the debate.

OVER UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
Last of Oyster Stock From Lower
Potomac Brought to Market.

The last days catch OF the tongers on
the oyster beds in the lower Potomac is
now being brought to market. and when
1t is disposed of the oyster season will
be over until next September. Yesterday
the schooners Silver Wave, Winnie H.
Windsor and Bessie Ford, the power boat
Julia Blanch and three or four dories
and fatties came into port with the BIZ
valves aboard. They brought in all about
100 bushels that are selling at from 80
cents to 70 cents per bushel.
One or two other boats are expected
to arrive today, ard these will practically
clean up the tongers catch on the natu-
raj oyster rocks and leave only the pri-
vate beds to draw from. Should the
weather keep cool there may be arrivals
OF small 'jags" of oysters from private
beds in the early part of May. but this
cannot be depended upon. and from the
end of this week 1t Is probable that the
oysters on sale in this city will be from
the vicinity of Norfolk and Annapolis,
and will be brought here in barrels.
The large fleet of vessels that has been
engaged in the oyster trade is at river
points preparing to take up other lines
of freighting work on the river.
