TO Erect Big BUILDING
TO front ON HAMPTON
Harold Bros. Build COnpart-
ment House

Building operations were begun yes
terday upon the large addition to
be made to the Harold compartment
warehouse, fronting on Hampton
street. Two large compartments are
to be thus added to the already large
structure and will be completed early
in the new year. Already there are
seven spacious compartments to this
large structure, occupying the greater
portion of the block, and there is
demand for others. The warehouse
addition will be of pressed brick with
concrete floor, and made spacious and
substantial withal At present there
is not a vacant storehouse in Amer
icus of any size or character, and the
demand for storage compartments is
quite as great as that for dwelling
houses.

FOR Change OF venue
IN CASE OF CHILDERS
Argument Will Be Heard On
Tuesday

Judge 2. A. Littlejohn, will to-day
hear argument of counsel in the ap-
plication for change of venue in the
case of M. S. Childers, to the end that
the next trial of this case be trans
ferred from Lee to Sumter county
and heard at the next session of
Sumter superior court.
Recently attorneys for Childers,
made application for trial in the case,
but the application for change of ven
ue will take precedence over that for
bail Should the request for the re-
moval of the case from Lee to Sumter
county be granted, then the applica-
ton for bail will, in all probability,
be withdrawn, as the session of civil
at which the case would be heard
convenes in one week and, therefore,
bail would scarcely be asked for this
brief interim.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 20.-Local H.

today in the persistent statements
which were freely circulated to the
effect that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is about to close deal to purch-
ase the Atlantic Coast Line Company,
which controls the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad, one of the most important
pieces of Southern railroad property
in existence. .II sE
Should the deal be consummated'
and it is believed here it will be, 4
nor only will be one Of the biggest
purchases in recent railroad history
in this country but will be the first

SUMTER won THIRD IN
BASKET BALL. SERIES
With the Fast SmithVilIG
Team

Sumter, Ga, Nov 20.-The lively
competition in basket ball which has
sprung up between the high schools
of Smithville and Sumter City had
another chapter added to it with the
recent defeat of the Smithville team
by the locals on the Smithville court.
There have been three games play
ed out of the tive-game series sched-
uled to be completed within short
time Out of these three games the
locals have captured only one, the
last game played, but they are de-
termined to land the two remaining
games of the series if possible, which
would give them the series.
The rivalry between the two schools
has been spirited but good-natured,
and the remaining games will attract
even more attention than those al
ready played. The series will likely
be decided within the next two weeks
as games will be played weekly until
the end of the series, unless unfoF-
seen delays occur

CONDITION OF
LABOR Will BE
MUCH IMPROVED
IF this new Plan SUCCEEDS
Farmers Agree to Protect
Common Interests

Sumter county farmers near Les
lie have entered into a movement that
seems very unique as regards the
good that may result from it in the
way of aiding in the solution of the
many problems that confront the far
mers of this section as regards labor.
The plan the farmers of that sec
tion have adopted is for mutual
pledge to be taken by the farmers to
protect each other in the way OF hir-
ing laborers. The pledge or resolu-
tions brought before the meeting OF
farmers held recently at Leslie was
signed by all present.
The gist of the resolutions was that
each farmer pledged himself to oher
no inducements to a laborer to leave
his employer, and agree that no ten
ant is to be contracted with except
with the consent of his former em-
ployer The general trend of the plan
suggested is that there be mutual
agreement between the farmer wish
ing to obtain labor and any other Iar-
mer from whom he plans to secure
laborers.
1t is a well-known fact at the pres
ent time that unscrupulous negro Ia
borers often enter into a contract
with one farmer while they are still
bound by another contract. A proper
understanding between the farmers IN
terested in these cases would, OF
course. prevent such cases OF lllegal
contracts and tend to promote pet
ter feeling among the farmers OF any
given community with reference TO
the very important matter OF obtain
ing labor.
So we'll pleased are the farmers
| of that section of Sumter and Lee
counties near Leslie that they have
determined to hold another meeting
and continue the work of organizing
communities in this plan of helping
the labor question. Next Friday al
ternoon at 2 O'Clock there will be two
meetings to be held, one at Leslle
and another at Anthony Chapel, botn
in the interest of this movement.
If the plan works out WELL II IS
said that it should prove OF great
value in every community Where
there are white farmers, as II Is
only necessary for number of these
to meet and sign the resolutions III
order to effect some kind of an organ
zation of interests. Farmers IN thls
county and throughout the state VIII
await with interest the results tnat
como from this plan as it is being
carried out here.

Accident on Opening Day at
Savannah Race Track

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 2O-The Savau-
nah automobile race course claimed
its first victim to-day which was the
first day it had been thrown open for
practice of those who are entered for
the races next week.
j. d. McNay, driving a Case car,
lost control of his mount at the
Montgomery cross roads and the car
went off the track, turning over. Nc
Nay was killed and his mechanician,
named Maxwell, was badly hurt. Nc
Nay was placed in another car and
rushed rapidly to the Savannah hos
pital but was dead when he got there.
Maxwell is badly hurt, but his in
juries are not fatal
This was the second accident Of
the morning on the course, Joe Daw-
son. driving a Harmon car having
been in collision little earlier with
several other drivers and a touring
car which was on the course. Dawson
is hurt so badly he may not be able
to enter the Vanderbilt Cup race or
the Grand Prize race.
The other drivers in this general
mix-up were Knipper, in a Mercer,
and Barnes in a Mercer They were
not hurt
Nickrent was driving the car in
which Dawson was riding when q
touring car came along on the course
and the four cars ran together, the
drivers apparently becoming confused
The Mercer cars were badly dam
aged.

AMERICUS is AHEAD In
RECEIPTS OF COTTON
More Than An Average Crop
Here Already

Americus warehouses have just
passed the $4,000 bale mark in cotton
receipts with indications excellent for
a total of more than 10000 bales long
before the arrival of the Christmas
tide. or close of the current year. The
seasons crop total will go well beyond
AZ, 900 bales, In the opinion Of many
here.
Receipts at this date-36, ,225 bales
compares with 21,S35 bales at this
date last season, showing gain this
year of 1890 bales. All this wagon
cotton" sampled and sold at the sew
eral warehouses in Americus.
Already, as will be seen, full av-
erage cotton crop has been received
in Americus, the average total here
being $4,000 bales. AS yet there are
two full months in which cotton will
continue to come in, though slowly.
as the great bulk of the crop Is mar
keted.
While there has been no concerted
holding movement among the farmers
here. not few of them still hold at
home a small percentage of their CROP
which nothing but an advance IN the
market price will shake from their
grasp. Some of this will be brought
in during the holidays while much of
it will bA held until spring.
While Anericus buyers would free-
" nav 9 cents for fine cotton to-day
there is none of this grade to be had
and that sold here now is usuaiiy
around 7 cents instead. At this date
last season good middling cotton was
bringing IA cents in Americus Thus
there is a difference of cents per
mound as compared with last years
price
There is still quantity of cotton
open on the farms here, but 1t is win
greatest difficulty and expense that
farmers can get it picked now, and
hundreds of bales will never be gath
erred.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2l. 1911
LEE COUNTY PROUD
OF EXCELLENT ROADS
Will Show the Tourists Next
Thursday
Especial to The Times-Recorder.

| Especial to The Times-Recorder.)
Leesburg, Ga, Nov. 21.-The show
ing that Lee county will make for
the tourists who pass through this
county Thursday on their way around
the state on the Good Roads Tour will
! be little short of marvellous when com
pared with the condition of the roads
in this county and section only a
year ago, when the first tour of this
kind came this way.
Instead of finding miles of devious
1lI-kept roads, heavy with sand or
rough with water holes, the tourist
this year will find a line OF superb
roadway, unsurpassed by any in the
state and straight as an arrow from
hear Smithville to within a few miles
of this place. 1t is a matter of re-
gret that the road was not entirely
completed to the point where it is to
join the other excellent roadway from
just below here to the Dougherty
county line. There is still, however,
a link of about four miles not COM
pleted.
When this link shall have been COM
pleted, the roadway from the Sumter
county line on the north to the Dou
gherty county line on the south will
be second to no other stretch of road
Of similar length along the entire
route of the tour. There is proba
bly, no other county in the state that
can furnish as long a stretch Of road
way with practically no curves as
Lee county will be able to do after
this splendid road is finished.
Visitors here and in Smithville who
have viewed the road even from trains
are unstinted in their praise OF this
excellent stretch of road. Favorable
comment is heard continually in this
section concerning the impetus that
has been given bodybuilding here
The people of Lee county have long
ago realized that this roadway is one
of the best advertisements the county
has ever had, and the citizens OF eV-
cry section of the-county are proud Oh
the road and wish to hasten the da9
when every section of the county VIII

Under most favorable and encour-
ing circumstances the cooking school
that is being conducted at the Armory
Hall by the ladies of the Hospital as
sociation opened on yesterday the Sc
ries of lessons that are to continue
all the week under the supervision of
Mrs. c. F. Harris, culinary expert,
The enrolment on the first day of
cooking school, which amounted to
more than fifty students, shows most
conclusively that the housekeepers of
the city as well the housekeepers-
to-be are thoroughly interested in the
excellent series of scientific and prac
tical lessons in cooking that may be
obtained this week under such favor
able circumstances and at such very
slight cost. At yesterday afternoons
lessons there were more than AZ stu
dents present, which showed plainly
the great interest manifested.
The hours that have been agreed
upon for the holding of the school are
from 10 to IL o'clock in the morning
and from 230 to 80 in the afternoon.
These hours were chosen so as TO
meet the convenience of the ladies
who are to attend the class and they
will be continued throughout the Sc
ries of lessons. The large attendance
and the enthusiasm with which the
work was begun was most encourag-
ing to Mrs. Harris and to the ladies
who are laboring to make the cooking
school a success.
1t was source of qualification to
the ladies of the Hospital association
as well as to Mrs. Harris to see the
large representative enrolment pres
ent and on the first day. The congenial
ty and good spirit that prevailed at
both sessions of the school yesterday
give indications of the great success
that is to characterize the manage
ment of the school throughout the
entire time that it is to be conducted
here.
AS the Armory Hall is large and
roomy and thoroughly equipped for
the accommodation of much larger
class than that now enrolled, it is
hoped that every housekeeper in the
city who has not already done so
will join the class and be present at
the two sessions to be held to-day. If
the generous support given the school
thus far is maintained and increased
the school should prove a success as
regards the purpose for which it was
instituted and afford much helpful in
struction to the housekeepers of the
city. q is!r
