FIXING THE XMAS FEAST
WITH PLENTY At HAND
LmeriCuS Market is Stocked
With Best

Americas epicures will enjoy the
Christmas dinner, as usual, if advan-
tase is taken of the excellent Oppor-
tunity offered the queen of the house
hold and kitchen to secure the best
of everything for the holiday menu.
>Americus stores are a revelation IN
the displays made, and prices really
seem no higher than in other seasons
past.
But be that as it may, the Xmas
dinner must be provided AMI already
Madam is upon trail of the goods.
First of all, the household turk is
ready for the slaughter, and while he
is no gift package by any means, the
price upon his breast is about the
same as last year Plenty of turkeys
for the Americas market are raised
right here in Sumter.
AS side lines to the turk, there's
an abundance of cranberries and Gel
cry the finest to be had and dol
lar is not badly disfgured when you
have bought your supply.
Fruit cake, as essential to a Christ
mas dinner as a bride is to the we'd
ding is to be had at 80 cents per
pound, although many delicious cakes
are being made at home this year
as the result of the excellent cooking
school recently conducted here and
at which so many Americas maids
end matrons graduated" with hon
ors.
Nuts, ra sins, fruits of every kind,
including oranges, apples, grape
fruit, tangerines, grapes and other
varieties, form staple stocks in all
the stores here.
Americas epicures are fond of fish,
oysters and crabs, and the markets
here supply these in abundance. Then
there's wonderful supply of meats
of every variety, to say nothing o. vna
suburban chicken and egg of country
vintage. All these, with vegetables
seasonic, combine to render the
Xmas menu joy forever.
Ii Will be well too, to remember
that IN buying for the Sunday dinner
TO include Mondays purchases also.
as all the stores will be closed on
Monday next the regular Christmas
h, liday.

URGED FOR MAYOR
Cincinnati Democrats UrgeNOVel-
lSt to Make Race.

Cincinnati, o., Aug. John Uri
Lloyd, who is best known in this
country as the author Of such novels
as "Stringtown On the Pike" and
"Etidorpha," was offered the aid of
the leading Democratic faction in
Cincinnati for the mayoralty.
Professor Lloyd IS a famous chem
ist a member of the chemical firm
of Lloyd Brothers of Cincinnati, but
his writings, both in history and flc-
tion, have given him a greater fame
than his work in the laboratory.
He told the committee which wait
ed on him that he was not sure he
wanted this honor and that they had
better look over the field again and
see IL they could not get another
man for the position. John Weld
Peck, who was the chairman of this
body, says that Professor Lloyd Is
the best Democrat he knows OF and
that the commStee win see him
again in the next few days 70 secure
his consent to make the race.
Last January Professor Lloyd was
a member of the grand Jury IN Ham
Ilton county which indicted George
p. Cox Republican leader, for per-
Jury.

Commission Has Made Report Next
Wlntcr-Want Chance to Present
Their Side Of Problem to People.
Washington, Aug. 1.-The 100000
woolgrowers Of the country, through
r. r. Goodlng, president of the Ma
tional Woolgrowers' association, have
registered with President Taft their
protest against haphazard and i'll
considered revision of the wool tariff
and have urged him to veto any re-
vision bill which comes to him at
this tine.
Here is the letter from President
Gooding which Mr.. Taft received:
"As president of the National
Woolgrowers association, most
earnestly protest against the Had
vised LaFollette measure as passed
by the senate. Any tariff legislation
on the wool schedule previous 10 the
report Of the tariff board Is danger
GUS to the advancement of q great
principle that you have inaugurated
for the adjustment Of tariff 'egisla-
tion and would delay what should be
n great principle Of government in
this country for many years. There
can be no better evidence OF the
need of tariff board than the hasty
and ill-advised measure just passed
by the senate. The woolgrowers
have not had an opportunity to pre-
sent their case to the American peo-
pie. We have been waiting with con-
fldence for the report of the tariff
board and have assisted in every
way the work of this board, believing
that their report would be accepted
by the American people and bring
about permanent settlement, so much
needed to give stability and prosper
ity to all Industries
81 appeal to you, Mr.. President in
the name of nearly 100000 wool
growers of the country who earnest
ly pray that you will allow no meas
ure affecting the wool industry TO
become a law until all the facts as
TO the cost of production OF wool and
cloth have been submitted to con-
gress."
