PLENTY IN OLD SUMTER
DESPITE Low COTTON
Crops Good And Farmers In
Fine Shape

Americus merchants and the farmers
of Sumter alike agree that the current
fall season has been prosperous one
for all alike, despite the fact that the
latter half of the cotton crop is selling
at a lower price than desired. Upon
the whole, conditions are better along
lines comercial than in years.
A very considerable part of the cot
ton crop was sold before the market
sIumped, the farmers receiving ad-
vantage of the higher prices prevailing
in September.
But conditions in Sumter, aside from
the cotton crop, have been very favor
able this year. The corn crop was
the largest ever planted in this part Of
the state, and this in spite Of the fact
that there was a considerable increase
of the acreage given to cotton. The
season has been good one for the
sections principal grain crop.
A fine hay crop has also been made.
For some days the farmers have been
busy with cutting native grasses, peas,
ETC., and though it was feared that the
dry weather might seriously affect the
yield, the damage has proved to be far
less than was anticipated. The second
cutting will follow shortly, beginning
as early as this week on some farms.
The oat crop was one of the best
ever raised in this section of the state,
and conditions have been well-nigh
ideal for potatoes, peas, cane and 9th
er food crops.

ON'YESTERDAY
PRICE OF FUTURES SCARED
Snow And SIPGt In West
The Cause

New Orleans, La, Oct. 21.-Frost
freezing temperature; snow and sIaet
in the extreme west of the cotton belt
put the price of cotton futures a dol
lar a bale higher than yesterdays
close on the opening this morning. The
ring was excited, and shorts made
strenuous efforts to cover to avoid fur
ther punishment, On the call the trad
ing months were II TO 23 points up.
Immediately after the most active le-
liveries were % to "a points up.
For several days the ring has been
nervous over the prospects of cold
weather. This morning the weather
map showed something approaching
a blizzard over Oklahoma and North
Texas, and private reports told of
snow and freezing in several coun-
ties of both states. While important
cotton counties We're not touched, It
was feared that the storm and cold
would extend over the cotton region
generally and this fear the official
forecast confirmed in a great meas
ure.
A considerable amount of long cot
ton had been accumulated on predic-
tions of frost during the week, and
profits were taken on a portion Of this
on the initial rise, which resulted in
shaving ten to IA points from the ad'
vance. On this reaction buying started
anew and the market again had an
advancing tendency.

The registration lists for the COM
ing primary closed yesterday after
noon with what is believed to be the
largest registration ever seen here
for a similar event.
The records Of City Clerk and
Treasurer Harvey Weaver, who has
charge Of the keeping of the registra-
ton lists, show that there are 775
names registered for the primary next
Thursday.
The list as yet has not been gone
over carefully and corrected, a thing
which must be done before it be-
comes official. This may reduce the
number of names some, but it is not
believed that it will affect it mater
tally.
For instance, the name of some vot-
er may have been entered twice by er-
rOr, and in such case, of course, the
extra name would be removed from
the list. There are other errors pos
sible, also, which might make the list
larger than it should correctly be.
These oversights, if any there are,
may be readily remedied by careful
reading and inspection of the lists.
The large number of names regis
TERED serves to show clearly the
great interest that has been manifest
ed in the coming primary The peo-
PIE of Americus are apparently thor
oughly stirred up and will go to the
polls next Thursday in such numbers,
if the normal number of the register
ed vote, as they have not done in a
long time.
1t is the opinion of City Clerk and
Treasurer Harvey Weaver that the
present registration is the largest III
the history of the city for primary
election No official record of the
primary registrations is kept, SO that
these figures are not given as authen-
tic or official but merely as personal
estimate.
