BRANTLEY IN RACE FOR
SEAT in The SENATE
If Smith Does Not Enter 1t
Shortly.

Washington, d. C., January 8
While he is not yet ready to make a
formal announcement there seems to
be no longer any doubt that Congress
man William G. Brantley will make
the race for United States senator, and
that unless some other man than
Gov-Elect Smith comes into the fight,
the race will be between Congress-
man Brantley and Senator Joseph NJ.
Terrell to fill out the uneXpired term Of
the late Senator Clay.
1t was stated here today that if
GOv-Elect Smith does not enter the
race, Mr.. Brantley will be a candidate
and because of the opposition of the
Smith forces to Senator Terrell may
have considerable backing from that
source, as we'll as the strength lie
could produce even in a race in which
both Smith and Terrell We're his oppo-
nents.
1t is believed here that all that re-
mains to put Mr.. Brantley squarely
in the race is his announcement.

AMERICUS HOLDS
GOOD BUSINESS
PROSPECTS
A Season Of Activity is Just
Ahead.
Much Was Accomplished in the Year
Just Ended and Even Greater Re.
suits Are Looked for Among Bust.
ness Men for Year Just Beginning.

With yesterday was ushered in the
second week of the new year, and an
era of more than usual prosperity
seems at hand. In business circles in
Americus, an air of confidence is abun-
dantl yevidenced and business men
look forward to one of the best years
that have come within the past de-
cade
Not a business failure, large or
small, was chronicled last year, and
the same healthful condition, it is ex-
pected, will be maintained in 1911.
Merchants and all business men re-
port collections good and money plen-
tiful.
In Americus during the past year a
number of new enterprises have been
started up and others are planned for
the coming year. Building has been
steady and both business and resi-
dence lots have increased very much
in value.
While the cotton crop of this terri
tory fell below that of last year, yet
fine prices and rapid marketing Of
the cotton gave the farmers plenty
of cash with which to settle up old ac-
counts and begin the new year with
a clean slate
The Sumter county farmer does not
put all in cotton and every year sees
a greater diversity of crops planted.
Corn, hay, potatoes, etc, have all made
god crops.
Lands III Sumter county have in
creased largely i'll value in the past
year and are selling readily. Many
INQUIRIES are coming in for farming
lands and the pecan industry has
created a demand for lands upon
which to plant pecan trees.
The sale of mules this season is an
indication that the farmers are pre-
PAIRING to put in good crops another
year. The prices of mules vary from
$3.50 to $500 a head, and that they
sell readily shows that the farmer
has money and that the mule still
holds its old place as a necessary ad-
junct in farming
More road building has been done
in Sumter during the past year than
ever before and the county commits
sicDers state the coming year will see
still more and better roads made
sll through the county.

COUNCIL should
Begin STREET
PAVING NOW
Money is Ready for Work to
Begin At Once.
Bond Issue Of $4,000 Voted Three
Years Ago for Street Paving in
the Business Section Of AmGFtCuS
is Still Available.

Themost important work of the New
Year, 1911, for Americus, and from
which the greatest good to the great
lest number will be derived, is the long
delayed task of paving the streets IN
the business section. This promise
has been made Americus, the money
is practically in hand, and the work
should proceed
Every street in the business porto,
off town will thus be paved with yitri-
fled brick this year
This will be done at an approximate
cost of $4,000, and the expenditure
of this sum will give the city the
greatest boost in material way tina
it has ever received
Already the city's portion of the
cost of paying-$4000O-is provided
for in the issue of bonds voted three
years ago. The bonds were authorized
by unanimous vote of the people Of
Americus, there being less than a
half dozen votes cast in the election
in opposition to this needed improve
ment.
The bonds, while long ago author
lied by vote of the citizens, have meyer
been issued, awaiting favorable time
for sale of the securities.
The time is now propitous, and the
entire issue can be sold at very sat
isfactory figures it is said
The city pays one-third the total
cost of the work of street paving,
while the property owners pay the
remaining two-thirds where property
abuts on the street paved. This will
cost the property owners approximate
ly $4,000. the Improvement thus made
greatly enhancing the value of THEN
realty.
The streets to be paved are: For
syth from the courthouse to Cotton
avenue; Cotton avenue from J. w.
Harris & Cos. store to the Central de-
pot; Lamar, from the artesian well
west Of Cotton avenue, or to Hampton:
Lee from the artesian well to the
monument; Jackson between Lamar
and Forsyth.
There may be some extensions to |
this work, but these are the principal
streets to be improved.

Will Hudson Seek Hughes
Seat in 1912.
II He Does There Will Be Several
ASpifantS for His Present Job As
Commissioner. F-..SumteF'S Farmer.
Statesman Not Talking.

Atlanta, Ga, January 9.-It's re-
markable sometimes how Jealous IL
politician is Of his job, even though
he may not intend to hold onto it be-
yond the term he is serving.
The other day j. D, Price, of Oconee.
a former state senator, passed through
Atlanta, and it was casually mention
ed that, having served as chairman
of the Committee on Agriculture and
having been for many years a farmer,
Mr.. Price was planning to run for
commissioner in 1912.
1t was stated, too, that he had
based his candidacy on the theory that
Commissioner of Agriculture r. G.
Hudson would not be a candidate for
reelection, but would retire from
his present Office to make the race
for congress from the Third district
1t had been Mr.. Hudsons intention
to run for congress last year, but he
decided, after thinking the matter over
to wait until 1912.
Now Commissioner Hudson takes ex-
ception to the seeming attempt to
put him into the race for congress
two years hence, and talks as if he
might like to hold onto his present
position in case things should turn
out faVorably in the other direction.
II am farming this year and not.
meddling with politics" Commissioner
Hudson says. Il believe that my
time should now be taken up with
the agricultural interests of the state,
and not with launching long cam
paign for congress"
1t is not likely that anyone will dis
pute Mr.. Hudson's statement, still
there are several in various sections
of the state who are going to persist
i'll getting him into the race for CON
gress, because they want a fling at
the commissionership of agriculture
themselves.
Practically all of them feel that if
Mr. Hudson wants to retain his pres
ent position he can do so; what they
would like to know is something ofI
his intentions. Because if Mr.. Hud-
son is really going to run for cong
gress, there Is going to be about t
liyeliest race for commissioner of agri- |
culture next year Georgia has ever
seen.

LENSES CURE FOR VOICES.
London Physician Asserts Spectacles
Restore Lost Singing Ability.


Restore Lost Singing Ability.
, A physician in. London, Dr. William
Martin Richards, has had occasion to
observe a relation existing between
the eyes and the voice and has recent
ly made a statement of two cases that
came under his treatment where ac-
tresses who had lost their voices. COM
pletely recovered them when treated
for defective eyes and fitted with
proper glasses.
He tells of one young woman IN
whose family eye diseases were hcred-
itary who found herself ut the age of
twenty-five losing her voice. Her eyes
were found to be in need Of attention,
and when she had been supplied with
glasses she promptly recovered her
singing voice.
When she discarded the glasses some
time later and her eyes were once
more neglected her voice also relapsed
into husky state that precluded all
singing. This practitioner has observ-
ed a number Of similar cases, and the
discovery of the relation between the
eyes and the voice should certainly be
valuable to stage folk and others who
depend largely upon their voices for
their status in the world.

The case of patriotic inhabitant OF

arrested at Metz during the recent pro-
French demonstration there. is exer-
cising the minds Of the German au-
thoritieS.
When NJ. Schneider undressed at the
police station in order to be measured
for anthropometrical purposes it was
found that his body was covered with
"seditious" tattoOing, The expression
"Vive Ia France" was prominent and
also a gibe ut the expense Of Prussia.
The discovery was taken very Sc
riously by the German police. An Off
cial translator was called in to draw
up q report on the tattooing despite
NJ. Schneider's protest that he could
do what he liked with his own epider-
mis-.
It is further stated that the police
have also undertaken an inquiry as to
whether the seditpus phrases have
ever "been exhibited in public" Thus
If NJ. Schneider can be proved to have
frequented the public baths he will be
liable to six weeks imprisonment.
