FARMERS ARE READY TO
START TO WORK EARLY
B .ying Mules and Supplies
for Next lea.

Americas banks and supply mer'
chants report the prospect excellent
for the early beginning of farming
operations in this section, as indicat-
ed in the sale of livestock and agri-
cultural equipment generally. With
open weather in January, the farmers
of Sumter will be busy with the first
of the years ploughing.
Last January, it will be remember
ed fine weather prevailed here and an
excellent start upon the years WORK
was secured.
Despite the fact that there are hun
dreds of acres open cotton yet ungath-
cred in Sumter. the farmers viii not
attempt to gather it now, but rather
will turn it under as a fertilizer and
break up their lands afresh.
The open cotton is stained badly
and scarcely worth the expense Of
picking and baling
The sales of mules are good for the
season but will increase in January.
In the Americas market the prices are
not as high as last season, in fac,
the real beauties" selling at $3.50 to
1915, according to size. Hundreds Of
mules are thus sold in Americas,
probably the best stock market in all
South Georgia.
The sale of twenty-five mules to one
farmer, made day or two ago. points
to excellent business when the stock
trade opens fully two weeks hence.

A gentleman in the city of Calcut-

the streets of that city a small pack
age of blue prints containing infor-
nation with reference to the defenses
of Corregidor Island. Recognizing
their character he delivered them to
the American consul at Calcutta. who
forwarded them through the State
Department in Washington to the
Secretary of War. Significance is at

blue prints. The whereabouts of the
original tracings is still unknown.
These blue prints contained a com

of Corregidor Island, which is the
main stronghold of the United States
in the Philippines. The blue prints
were of a small size, so as to be
readily carried in the pocket. The
