THREE THOUSAND BOYS
IN The CORN CLUBS
Sumter County is Well up to
the Average

The twenty-five or more Sumter
county boys that are associated IN
the Corn Club and are struggling for
ne trip to Washington offered by
Congressman Hughes to the boy in this
district turning out the largest crop
corn to the acre have an army of
associates scattered all over the
state.
Commissioner Tom Hudson reports
that there are now over three thous-
and Georgia boys organized in these
corn clubs. This is an average
of about twenty to the county,
Sumter is well up to the average. But
as the leading county of Southwest
Georgia, it should do much better than
this, and with the stimulus that has
been given to the movement there is
no reason why the membership in the
club here should not be increased TO
twice what it now is.
Three thousand or more bows into,
on showing what they can do in rails
ing corn is wonderful lesson to tho
world at large The stimulus that such
contests and such clubs will give 10
agriculture in the state hereafter is
hard to oyerestimate.

WELLS MILL is OFFERED
FOR SALE BY HEIRS
Fine Property Near Americas
for Sale

The famous Wells Mill, near Amer
icus, with its valuable franchises, i'm
mense water power, electric plant,
real estate and fishing club privil-
eyes, is going to be sold by the heirs
of the former Wells estate, who have
owned the property Jointly during a
long period of years.
This fine property will be sold n
Americus on the first Tuesday in
March-ten days hence-unless prev
iously disposed Of
And it means a splendid investment
for the purchaser.
This fine commercial mill, fully
equipped with all modern machinery
for milling purposes, is located on
the Central railway, ten miles south
Of Americas and about one mile from
the thrifty little city of SmithviSe.
The Wells Mill has a valuable ele1-
trical equipment, and has a lighting
franchise with the town of Smith
vile, owning the poles, wires, ETC., and
this contract alone will pay ten per
cent. upon an investment of $4,000.
The mill is one of the best and most
modern plants in the state.
1t has been in the Wells family since
1865, continuously, and is owned by
three of the heirs, who now desire
to sell it for division.
The Americas Fishing Club has for
several years leased the exclusive
fishing privileges at Wells Mill, one
of the finest trout and Dream fishing
places in Georgia, and owns a pretty
cottage on the grounds, besides row
boats and etceteras, costing several
hundred dollars and a valuable prop
erty within itself
The pond constitutes an immense
water power and could also be uesd
in lighting up the city of Americas,
if desirable

killed boxing. Not only have ring
fakes been as numerous as those on
the mat, but the top nOtchers have
been mixed up in them as we'll Some
of those who have gained nOtoriety
in the ring through their disregard of
the honest way to get money are Jack
Johnson, Jack O'Brien, Tommy Ryan,
Joe Cans, Bob FitzsimmOns Abe At
tell and Sam Langford, and these in
clude champions past and present;
hence if taking would kill wrestling
it certainly would also deliver a knock
out blow to boxing. There is no Ques-
ton but that taking has injured the
sport in popularity, because there is
enough of it to make the wrestling fan
doubt whether he is going to get what
Is coming to him when he pays to see
a match, but this is not the only draw
back to the game by any means.
Americans Want Snap.
! Americans must have something
with snap and action to it, and base
ball is the national sport because it
supplies this better than any other
/ Wrestling is almost the opposite Of
/ this. Strength, endurance and ability
! to stand punishment are what decide
championship matches in this country,
and science, speed and skill are at a
minimum. Most of the skill shown is
not along the line of obtaining a fall,
but of Furnishing an opponent until he
Is so badly used up that he can offer
| but feeble resistance.
! Frank GOtch is one of the most pun
fishing wrestlers in the world, and that
/ is the main reason why he holds the
championship. One proof of this is fur
nished by the fact that his most ia
nous hold is one which forces an OPP
ponent to give up because of pain and
not because he is put on his back.
| This is the too, hold. In addition,
Gotch has other holds that in any
other game except wrestling would be
considered so brutal as to be barred.
What is true of Gotch is true of other
champions, and the result is that men
are on the mat for hours with each
trying to disable the other rather than
throw him. In most of the big
matches one might as well smoke a
cigar and read a paper for the first
hour, because it is devoted to Juggling
around, trying TO punish each other.
Should Decide Match on Points.
Some day the wrestling fraternity
will wake up and begin to decide
matches on skill and points, and then
the game will boom. Europeans are
rather sneered at in this country be-
cause they wrestle short bouts and
know but little about Furnishing and
disabling an opponent. But there is
much to be commended in this style
as compared with the one we have in
this country. The only trouble is that
they do not render decisions quick
enough and allow the WresterS to loaf
too much. If wrestling in this country
were conducted in ten or fifteen min
ute bouts and provision made for rem
dcring a decision at the end of a GER
tain number OF bouts, provided no fall
was gained, with the further proviso
that only holds would be allowed
which were designed TO aid directly in
getting fall, the game would become
popular in hurry.

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL & DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by dcpositing a cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets a frner hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t

Placing the blame for the lack Of
popularity of wrestling to the prone
ness Of the grapplers to fake is but
half the truth. The other half is that
the game gives very little considera-
ton to the spectator without technical
knowledge of the game, and some
times not even to the latter. In Other
words, the wrestling game is made for
those who compete rather than those
who are spectators, and as the latter
have the privilege of staying away
from anything that does not appeal
to them the wrestling game is not in
it with boxing as a drawing card.
Argument that taking has killed
