TALKS OF CONDITIONS
over In WEBSTER.
Farmers Have Work Well
Under WaV For Season.

Mr.. r. L. Bolton, of the southern
section of Webster county, an old sub
scribor CT the 1imes-Recorder, was in
the city yesterday on business.
"The farmers ever in Webster" said
Mr. Bottom in discussing conditions in
that county, "are evidently not pre-
pairing to put in an increased acreage
Of cotton this year, but they are pre-
pairing 10 use more fertilizers and to
work the crop hotter with the intention
of getting a letter yield to the acre.
"We have all taken advantage of the
good weather and work is we'll under
way all ever the county, continued
Mr. Bolton. Our farmers are more ac-
tive and more progressive every year
md while Webster has suffered TO
some extent by removals We are all
hopeful that the tide has been check
cd and that an incoming movement
will favor us before the next census is
taken.
M here is some good land in Web
ster county, and all that is needed is
proper cultivation for a man who owns
some Of it to make a very comfortable
living. Our farmers are on the up
grade as rule and we have nodoubr
that Webster will show decided signs
of agricultural Improvement in the
next few years.

MADE S27O TO
The ACRE On
POTATOES.
Farmer Anderson Show S
What Can Be Done.
On One And six TenthS Acres Raised,
435 Bushels Of Sweets And Sold
Them All at 81 a BuShei...HOW
Diversified Farming Pays.

Four hundred and thirty-fve dollars
off of a piece of ground containing
| by actual measurement one and six
| tentbs acres.
That is the latest Sumter county
record in the way of making money on
a small piece of ground.
Sweet potatoes were the crop that
brought in this handsome return, Mr.
Anderson, the Swedish farmer, was
the fortunate individual who gathered
in the profits, and the old Swedenborg
farm out on the lanyard hill, was the
scene Of this demonstration of the
money-making that lies in diversified
farming in this section.
The farm in question is very far
from being the best farm in Sumter
county. In fact it has generally been
regarded as of very ordinary quality.
But Mr. Anderson demonstrated this
season that on it there could be raised
I270 bushels of fine sweet potatoes to
the acre.
On the one and six-tenths acres Mr..
Anderson secured a crop of 435 BUSH
els of fine quality sweet potatoes. AT
the time of digging the potatoes there
was a ready demand for them at 81 a
busAel and at that figure the farmer
disposed of 100 bushels. Then the
price dropped. Believing that the mar
ket would soon return to the 81 basis.
Mr.. Anderson withdrew his potatoes,
banked them and awaited results.
When the market returned othe 81
quotation he resumed selling and yes
tcrday he closed out the remainder Of
LIS crop at that price
The demand for sweet potatoes at
81 bushel is far from being satisfied.
If Mr.. Nndel son had thousand bush
els of them he would experience no
trouble in placing them. And at the
rate he made potatoes on the small
piece of land cultivated it would have
taken but four acres more to have
turned out an additional thousand
bushels.
Sweet potatoes are in demand not
only in the raw state, but when can
ned. The demand for them "in tins"
is growing rapidly, and a small home
canning plant on a Sumter county
farm turning out 250 bushels to the
acre would probably prove a very
profitable investment
1t has not yet been demonstrated
what this county can do at its best in
the shape of tomatoes suitable for
canning, but it is quite likely that
great yield of them could be had. The
day is coming, in all likelihood, when
there will be several small canning
factories on Sumter farms where the
entire stuff for the canncries will be
raised and none of it shipped except
when canned.

COUNCIL PUTS
OFF ACTION
ON PAVING
Thought it Well to Think the
Matter Over
Mayor Mathis Brings Up Question Of
Selling the Bond issue and Pre-
CGGdiRg With the WOFk...COuRClI
Decides to Act Cautiously.

Mayor Mathis made an Intellectual
abort at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil to have that body order the Finance
committee to place the 5000 of paw
ing bonds on the market and institute
the work of improving the business
section by the substitution of vftrifed
brick or some other improved material
for the present gravel highways.
Mayor Mathis called attention in 4
few remarks to council to the fact that
the people had almost unanimously
voted the issuance of the bonds for
this class Of improvement, and that rs
the representatives of the people he
regarded it as the duty of the mayor
and aldermen to proceed with the
work. He therefore suggested that the
council instruct the Finance committee
to place the bonds on the market and
see what could be done with them.
Chairman Allen, of the Finance COM
mittee, also favored action, although.
as he stated, personally he would pre-
fer that the paving be delayed, but in
his official capacity he believed that
council should take the matter up. as
only ten persons had voted against the
bonds,
Mayor Mathis called attention to the
fact that the part of the expense fall
ing upon property owners for street
paving could probably be distributed
over a period of two or three years by
issuing paving certificates, as had been
done in other cities, permitting the
property owners to pay for the i'm
provement in installments. or at the
expiration Of definite period, and not
this year
Alderman Lee Council stated that
while in favor of progressive policy,
one that would improve the city and
advance its interests, the matter of is
suing bonds and contracting for the
paving was one that affected a large
body of citizens and he thought council
should proceed very cautiously and
conseryatiyely in the matter. 1t would
not do to place any too great a bur-
den on property owners without very
careful consideration of the Oupstion
and for that reason he believed action
should be deferred
The matter was put to a vote a nd
council decided to defer action in the
matter for the time being

FIRE STARTED
IN COTTON
GINNERY.
Farmers Oil Co. Plant Is
Damaged.
Fire Breaks Out In Limiting Room at 4
O'clock And Does Considerable
Damage Ere CheckGd--FIamGS Are
Supposed to Be From Friction.

Fire, which probably resulted from
friction in some portion of the ma
chinery, or possibly from a small OBJ
s,ruction in one of the gins, original
cd yesterday morning at o'clock IN
the linting department of the Farmer s
Oil Co. here and died considerable
damage until the department checked
it,
In such infammable material, the
fire was a difficult one to fight, and il
was some time ere the flremen got it
under control.
The night force was at work in the
limiting department, where half score
of gins take the lint from the cotton
seed. The building is of brick and
this proved a safeguard in holding the
flames in check.
The firemen found the blaze a stub
born one, but after hard work succeed
ed in eXtinguishing it, The blaze did
rot spread beyond the limiting room
where it started. The machinery was
considerably damaged, as was the belt
ing, and the loss will aggregate $4,000
or $4,000.
1t may go even beyond this estimate,
as the actual damage cannot yet be as
Certained.
II is fire again emphasizes the need
OF larger water mains in that indus
trial section of the city, as in case Of
4 confagration the present water IA
cilities would prove wholly inadequate
in fighting fire.
III that immediate locality are locat-
eG i've large oil mills and fertilizer
plants, besides the extensive lumber
yards and variety works of John w.
Shiver. Thus, a half dozen large en-
terprises are protected against fire
hy a siX-inch water main laid alons
Church street.
This would afford three streams.
Chief Macarthur says, but should a cor.
Migration ever result there these would
not be sufficient to put it under cons
troll.

MOULTRIE BANKS
DIVIDEND 100 PER CENT

Moultrie, Ga, January 24-"Mclon
cutting is quite popular in Mouluie
banking circles these days. The Citi-
zens' Bank few days ago declared
a dividend of 112 per cent. IA day or
so later the Moultrie Banking Compa-
ny followed suit with a dividend I
1856 per cent. The First National haa
something similar scheduled for the
near future.
The Citizens Bank had planned :
stock increase from $4,000 to $4,000.
To reduce the price on the new stock
a dividend of $4,000 was paid out OF
the surplus to the original stockhold-
ers, and an additional dividend of IL
per cent. was paid on last years bust
ness.
The Moultrie Banking Company di-
vided enough Of its surplus to pay for
a 100 per cent. stock increase in addi-
ton to a cash dividend of So per cent
on the original investment They are
increasing stock from $4,000 to $780,
coo.
The First National Bank will double
its capital and declare additional divi-
dends from their large surplus at an
early date
Sixty days ago these three institu-
tions had on deposit $1GlG,2129G To
day the deposits are Sligo, ,9O3.Ol-an
increase of $146,6S6.OS, or 14.43 per
cent. in two months. These deposits
divided per capita among Moultries s
population would amount to $34723
each. Divided among the entire pop
nlation of Colquit county-19,7 ,7S9-the
per capita amount would be $S8.76. And
there are five other banks in the
county. The money per capita In the
entire United States is only $35.O1.

YACHT CLUB BUYS HOME.
Purchases The Old GoldsbOrOugh
Mansion on High St.-Formerly
The Home of The Late Judge
Charles +. GOldsbOrOugh.

The Board of Governors of the
Cambridge Yacht Club yesterday
completed negotiations with Clerk
of the Circuit Court W. Lake Robin
son for the purchase of the prop
erty which the Club has been occu-
plying since shortly after its organi-
cation. The property is one of the
most desirable to be found in Cam
bridge; in fact, it is claimed by
many that there is only one prop
erty in the city than can equal it,
that being 'The Point" the de-
lightful home of Col. and Mrs.
Clement Sulivane.
Shortly after the Club moved in
to the property negotiations were
opened with Mr.. Robinson for its
purchase and it is reported an OPP
ton was secured upon it, but re-
Gently nothing had been done, al
though the Board of Governors had
given considerable consideration to
the matter and had worked out a
plan by which it was believed the
property could be bought in such a
way as to not work any hardship VI
on the youthful Club.
Yesterday when Commodore du
Pont arrived he was shown the
property and asked his views upon
the subject of purchasing it, and
after consulting with a number OF
the other members of the Club, il
was decided to purchase at once.
The contract was closed and q
payment made upon the property
this morning by Secretary HI. A
Joyce, Jr., representing the Club
The purchase price was 1850.

room Monday night and listened to
the rollcan of the nations he heard
between 40 and so nations respond
through chosen leader in three

to speak through an interpreter. 1t
was an inspiring sight and sound.
Here are few facts brought out
at the Alliance relative to the
Baptists in Philadelphia:
In Philadelphia there are 102
Baptist churches with a total mem
bership of $4,000 Including the
suburbs there are 10000 members,
whose aggregate contributions last
year were $4,000. The value of
our Baptist property in Philadelphia
and vicinity is 100000. In the
city itself the proportion of Bap-
fist members to the population is
one to every thirty-four.
There are regularly organized
Baptist churches for the Germans,
the Swedes, the Chinese, the Let's,
the Italians, the Slovaks, the Polish.
The Baptist Ministers Conference
