CENSUS OF AMERICUS is
GIVEN BY BUREAU
The Figures Are DiSappO,nt-
iDgIy Small.

The official figures of the 1910 cen
sus of Americus were given out yes
terday by the Census Bureau at
Washington, showing the population
here, according to that count, as S,063,
against 1884 for the census of 1890,
ten years ago. 1t is quite evident that
an error has been made, as the CEN
sus figures announced yesterday are
nearly 500 short of the census taken
1y the Board of Trade here at the
same time of the federal census. 1t
will be remembered that the Board
of Trade employer four competent men
10 take a careful census of the city
at that time, and the work of both
sets of the census enumerators was
completed wellnigh together, with the
result that there was a difference Of
less than fifty in the count made. The
Board of Trade enumerators found
and counted about $500 people here
1t the time, and the apparent dispar-
ity, as shown by the figures of the
Census Bureau, as announced yester-
day is inexplicable In view of this
apparent difference of nearly 500 in
the counting made by the two sets of
enumerators, the Board of Trade will
At once make inquiry regarding the
glaring disparity

COUNTY FAIR
TO BE Held
IN OCTOBER
Prizes to Tempt All to Com
pete in 1t.
Committee Of Board Of Trade viii
Unite With Country Committee in
PerfGCting the Plans and Pushing
Fair Through to a Great Success.

Sumter county is to have a county
fair. That is~finally determined.
The fair will be under the supervi-
sion of the Board of Trade, represent
ing business interests of the city, and a
committee of farmers, headed by Prof.
Cunningham, of the Agricultural Col
lege, representing the agricultural in
terests of the county.
1t will be the duty of the city COM
mittee to arrange for the exhibiting of
lhe displays that the country commit
tee will provide The city committee
will also provide the prizes and gem
orally attend to the business affairs Of
the fair.
Prof Cunningham and his committee
will arrange for the terms of the va
rious prize contests that will be the
chief features of the fair.
They will draft the rules and regu-
lations concerning the giving of prizes
that will be the chief features of the
fair
They will draft the rules and regu-
lations concerning the giving of prizes
for the best corn, cotton, oats, hay,
sugar cane and other products of the
county.
These rules will be prepared and
made public within the next thirty
days so that all planters will know
exactly the conditions governing them.
President John w Shiver, of the
Board of Trade, in the meantime is
to appoint a hustling soliciting COM
mittee, which will provide for the
prizes that are to be offered
1t is believed that there will be a
liberal response from the business
men in cash way 1t is also pro-
posed to solicit prizes of machinery,
fertilizers, foodstuffs, etc. The idea is
to offer prizes that will be sufficient
ly attractive to awaken general inter
est and lead all of the planters of the
county to enter spiritedly into the
competition,
As at present planned, the agricul-
1 a! exhibits will be placed in the
city hall, on the third floor, where
the large hall is well adapted for that
purpose.
On the vacant lot in the rear of the
postoffice it is proposed to throw uD
a rough shelter where the poultry ex-
hibits can be placed There are sew
eral growers of fancy chickens who
will exhibit. Here, too, may be room
provided for the finest that the county
offers in the way of live stock gener-
ally,
AS at present planned, the fair will
be held for three days in the third
week of October
1t is suggested that a committee Of
ladies also be appointed to take charge
OF womens exhibits. This will be
worked out later

MILES
ROAD BUILT
WITHIN YEAR
Sumter is Fast Extending
System.
Complete Report of Work Accom-
pIiShed is Filed With County Com
mlSSlOnerS By Supt. Christian
Vast Improvement During Year.

lSupt Robt. G. Christian, of the Sum-
ter county roads department, has just
fled with the Board of County Com
missioners a complete and detailed
statement of the work done by his de-
rartment in the Improvement Of coun-
t. roads and the building of new ones,
covering period of fifteen months
from October 1st, 1909, to date.
The exhibit is a very flattering one,
and shows that within the brief pc
riod II entioned fifty-five and one-half
miles of model modern highways have
been added to the system, which puts
Sumter in the lead of the 145 counties
of Georgia
To here about 125 miles of the fin
est roads in the South are found.
The mileage includes only the fin
est modern, graded highways-mode
roads all-but does not include the
many miles of second-class roads here.
Roads that are really good for all
purposes and which in some other
counties, would be considered model
ones.
The mileage completed by Sunt
Christian includes the following lines
throughout the county:
Plains road miles Seals Mill
road, IL mile; DeSoto, IA IA miles;
Hooks road, miles; Crossroad, 2
miles; Walker branch, 1-2 mile; Ella
Vile road, 6 "a miles; Bumphead
road, 1-2 miles; Tomlin branch,
1 mile; Robt. Williams road, IL
miles; LaCross road, l 1-2 miles;
-Oglethorpe road, about 8
miles.
This is a total of 81 IL miles, to
which is to be added the grading Of
Muckalee hill to the central railway,
3-4 of mile, and quarter mile on
Church street to the city limits on Lee,
II mile.
The DeSoto road of IA IA miles
HIS uniform width of forty feet, and
ranks any road in Georgia for beau
". smoothness and utility.
Besides the work above mentioned
the right of way was cut OH the An
defsonville road and two smaller sec
tions.
Sm'e May /, 1910, the county force
has rat down $3.50 feet of terra Gotta
and galvanized iron pipe as conduits
for water, while fourteen concrete cul
Yeits ere constructed and two steel
span bridges on concrete abutments;
the bridges being one each on the
Plains and Ellaville roads.
Other concrete culverts will be
built this year and a steel bridge
built over the Parker Mill creek and
probably one on the Smithville road,
In all of the 125 miles of modern
roads in Sumter, there are but two
small wooden bridges; the two just
referred to above, and these will in
tine be replaced with steel or concrete
structures. On all of the fine roads
he"e the small streams are crossed OH
stopE or substantial concrete bridges
The county chaingang, with eighty
four able bodied convicts, 100 mules
and the very best equipment of road
working machinery, is going to make
record this year in road-buildine
under Supt. Christians able direction.

BEAR and
BULL DOG
HAVE fight
Now the Dog Wonders Where
His Teeth Are.
SmithWiCk'S White Bull Shows That
He Has More Grit Than Discretion
While a MuCkaIee BFuiH Wonders
What He Went Up Against.

The big white bull dog of Mr.. II. w.
Smithwick is still nursing his sides
and running his tongue disconsolately
around in his mouth trying to find
where the missing teeth have gone to.
Everytime any one touches his ribs
the big white bull dog grunts in pro-
test and a sorrowful look comes into
his face as he thinks of the crushing
embrace the black bear gave him IS
they torn around the field on the night
of that memorable battle
1t was a fight to the finish between
two brave animals The dog showed
his grit and the bear faced the music.
Neither of them realized in the begin
ming exactly what the other was. PROP
ably neither of them really under
stands to this day what sort of Tar
tar he ran up against. But the dog
knows that he met an enemy worth
the meeting, and somewhere in the
Muckalee swamp bear with torn up
throat and a hide perforated with
dog teeth has a fine appreciation Of
the fact that the Smithwick homestead
is good place to keep away from.
Several parties saw the fight but not
one realized that it was a bear that
the big white bull dog had tackled. 1t
was along toward midnight when
Bruin in his travels after pork ran
up against the dog. Perhaps he took
the bull dog for a particularly clean
and attractive porker The dog per-
haps took him for a calf But it didn't
take two seconds after they mixed up
for both to realize that somehow or
.other there had been an awful mistake
A man going home from lodge, pass
ing along the road, heard struggle
and saw what he thought was a calf
with a dog holding on to it's throat The
next minute he saw the dog thrown
several feet away. Then the dog
closed in again and the man went on
wondering how the calf had loosened
the grip
A few minutes later a negro down
the road saw bear passing, with a
dog jumping at his flanks. The negro
thought his cabin was a pretty good
place to stay the remainder of the
night
The next morning a much worn out,
befrazzled dirty bull dog, with mouth
full of blood came creeping YEARLY up
the road to the Smithwick house.
He was covered with mud and abso-
lutely exhausted. He looked as though
he had been fighting regiment Of
Wildcats
To touch him anywhere was to pro-
duce signs of pain. So he was allowed
to lie in the sunshine and think it all
over.
When his condition permitted Of an
examination it was found that not
whole tooth remained in his mouth,
All were gone except a couple stumps
in the rear, that couldn't land well in
the bears hide,
With bull dog tenaelty he had held
on while the bear, grasping him with
his paws, had literally torn his teeth
out and thrown him aside, leaving the
teeth in the bears own carcass.
Sometimes now the bull dog forgets
the teeth are not there and makes a
grab at another dog, only to be re-
minded of the last and greatest battle
Of his life
