CLOSE TO 4,2OO BALES
IN RECEIPT OF COTTON
Record Crop is Marketed In
AmeriCuS

Forty-tWo thousand bales cotton, il
round numbers, will be the total ware
house receipts in Americus at the close
of today's business, which is virtually
that of the year 1911 This is indeed
record figure in the way of cotton
receipts, the highest score. ever made
and evidences the growth of Americus
as cotton market.
The receipts reflect as well the ex-
traordinary cotton crop made in this
section this year, a record-breaker in
number of bales produced.
The $4,000 bales thus received in
Americus of the 1911 crop are known
as wagon bales" having been thus
hauled in from plantations of this and
neighboring counties, weighed and
sold here, and the money circulated
among banks and merchants here.
1t is the kind of cotton receipts that
help the trade of town; not cotton
shipped in for compression only and
from which much less in a material
way is realized.
Thousands Of bales, of course, are
shipped to the Americus compress di-
rect from smaller towns in this ter
ritory, but this cotton is counted sepa-
rately, and not included in the A.
600 bales wagon cotton. The combin-
ed receipts of warehouses and com
press will probably total $4,000 bales.
All OF this wagon cotton has been
received since August last, and is of
the 1911 crop entirely. With the cot
ton still held on farms, and yet to
be marketed, the total receipts from
this crop may yet reach to $4,000 or
$4,000 bales. Considerable cotton is
still held back which will be marketed
in January.
And what a fortune is thus repre-
sented to the farmers here in the sale
of $4,000 bales cotton
At an average price of 10 cents per
pound, or $50 per bale, it means the
princely sum Of two million, one hum
dred thousand dollars. But the farm
ers received even more than that
amount, as probably half the crop
sold earlier in the season, brought
prices above II and IL cents for the
feecy staple.
But even $2,10O,0OO is snug sun
to receive for a Sumter county cotton
crop, indeed

The couple had plsaned an extensive

NIMROD LOST "TRIFLES"
WHEN SUIT WAS SOLD
"Wifeyo Wasn't Familiar With
belongings"

Atlanta, Dec. 30-Among the prom
inent state house officials is a certain
gentleman whose prowess in the hunt
ing field is known throughout Georgia
1t is hardly necessary to name him.
He hunted so much last year that
his hunting suit began to look little
bit shabby, at least in the eyes of his
loving wife. So she decided to sur
prise him with new suit for Christ
mas.
She bought a beautiful corduroy
coat and trousers, and found that she
didn't have quite enough money to pay
for them, so, keeping it all secret
from her husband, she sold his old
hunting suit to a peddlar, and thus
made up the difference.
Christmas morning dawned, Hubby
was delighted with his new hunting
suit. He thought it was grand. The
next day, he happened to ask his
wife:
"By the way, where is my old suit ?
| why, dear, | didn't suppose yol
would ever need it again, SO sold it
It's all right, isn't it?"
The state house official, who is E
good husband as he is a public serv.
ant, gulped little and answered:
why, sure it's all right. My new
one is fine, and of course I'll nevei
need the old one again"
| Later at the capitol hubby confide;
his sorrow to sympathiingz friends. II
the pockets of the old hunting sui
were the following articles, all o
which disappeared with the suit AM
doubtless rejoiced the peddlar's heart

BROADER ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
URGED FOR THE COMING YEAR
BOND ISSUE SUGGESTED FOR FURTHER IMPROVING The ROADS OF THE CN
TY and THE CONSTRUCTION OF PERMANENT CONCRETE CULVRTS AND
STEEk BRIDGES REMOTE ROADS HAVE been NEGLECTED.

If the culvert and bridge building is
let by contract, the entire force of
convicts may be used for the purpose
of road building, so that the effects Of
| better roads may be felt in sections
of the county, where it has not been
very manifest heretofore. These roads
are called second and third-class roads
In distinguishing them from the first
class, or more important roads. 1t is
only by the adequate improvement of
these roads that Sumter county can
ever be able to claim superiority not
only for the best roads in the state
but also for having more of the best
roads than any other county in Geor,
gia.
The need of work on the second and
third class roads in the county has al
ready been pointed out. Last summer
bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture for the purpose of effecting some
relief by having work done on the
shorter roads leading from the main
highways to the homes of the farmers
of the county. These roads are not
private roads by any means, but they
are only the less frequently employed
public roads of the county which are
of as vital use as any, though they
are not used by as many travellers as
are the more frequented highways.
Another minor reason for the bond
issue has been suggested in the heavy
rains that have been experienced here
for some time past, and which have
don much to cause slight damages to
many of even the best roads in the
county, AS there is such large
mileage of these roads to be covered
Immediately in order to place them in
the best condition at the earliest pos
sible time, the issuance of bonds
would enable such work to be done
much earlier and much more satisfac-
torily, as many of the defects will be
magnifed rather than minimized by
delay

WORK On CHEHAW MEMORIAL
HAS Been COMPLETED HERE.
PROGRAM OF UNWILLING EXERCISES WHICH WILL OCCUR Lee COUNTY, HAS
NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED PROMINENT DAUGHTERS OF THE AMER
CAN REVOLUTION FROM ALL SECTIONS OF THE STATE TO BE PRESENT.

Yesterday saw the completion o
the work on the Chehaw memoria
here, which has been in progress fol
some time past at one of the local
marble yards. The remaining work to
be done on the memorial must be done
in Lee county, after it has been ship.
ped to its destination there.
All the members of the local chapter
of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution who have viewed the monu-
ment are well pleased with the man>
ner in which it has been prepared, and
the completed work will meet with
general approval, it is believed.
The last work done on the monu-
ment was the engraving of the in
scription, which was completed yester-
day afternoon. After the granite bould-
er had been thoroughly washed and
cleaned, its outline and the clearly-cut
inscription presented a most attractive
and satisfactory appearance. When
the boulder has been taken to Lee
county, it will be set upon pedestal
of solid concrete. making a completed
monument that will be matter OF
price to the people of Lee county and
this section, as well as to the members
of the local Council of Safety Chapter
Of the Daughters of the American Rev
olution, which has had charge of the
work on its construction.
The effect desired for the memorial
has been achieved in that the huge
boulder, which has an approximate
weight of nearly five tons, has been
fashioned into rough cone, one side
Of which has been polished and upon
which the inscription has been neatly
cut. The entire effect given by the
monument is that of natural art, and
he hand of the stone-cutter has been
employed as little as possible in order

During the coming year it is likely
that the roads of Sumter county
known throughout the state and ma
ton as examples of superb road-build-
ing. will be still further benefited
by the making of improvements that
will reach the remoter roads of the
county and bring about the construc-
ton of many permanent concrete Gull
verts and additional steel bridges.
1t is almost proverbially true that
there is nothing so good that it cannot
be made better That the roads of
Sumter county are excellent cannot be
doubted, but the grand jurors of the
county have put themselves. .on record
as believing that there are still fur
ther improvements that should be
made during the coming year in the
way of extending the matter of road
building to the more remote roads Of
the county, before the roads of the
county may claim the superiority sig
nifed by the term most excellent"
In order that the improvements sug-
gested may be done quickly and effect
lively, the recommendation has been
made that bonds be issued to defray
the expenses that the county would
incur in undertaking this work. The
calling of an election to decide the
matter of a bond issue was suggested
by the grand jurors in order that the
question may be gotten before the
people for a clear and unmistakable
expression of opinion relative to such
improvements.
improvements of this kind are sure
to come in the course of time, but the
issuance of bonds for the purpose
would bring immediate improvements.
as securing money from bonds would
make it possible for culvert and bridge
building to be let by contract imme>
diately, instead of leaving it to be
completed in the general course oil
work, which is necessarily much less

They Won fight For Reduced
Freight Rates

Washington December 30.-Ameri
can lemon growers today won a sigma,
victory over foreign competitors anC
the trans-continental railroads wher
the interstate commerce commission
re-affairmed its previous order, upset
by the new commerce court, reducing
freight rates on lemons from Califor-
mia to all other points in the United
States from $1.15 per 100 pounds to
$1.OO.
The fight over lemon rates has been
in progress since 1902 and originally
involved the question of competition
with Sicily 1t has been bitterly con-
tested and became one of the first
causes of conflict between the inter
state commerce commission and the
new commerce court.
When the commission originally or
dered the reduction it's order was
stopped by the commerce court which
held the commission had no right to
take into consideration the question
of foreign competition and remanded
the case for rehearing.
The decision given today holds the
rate of $1.15 unreasonable and un-
Just, irrespective of the question of
competition and orders the carriers to
make effective the lower rate on Feb.
10. The case was brought in the name
OF the Arlington Heights Fruit Ex-
change against practically all the
lines.
