GREAT GAIN IN VALUES
IS MADE In SUMTER
the Low Returns of
Lands Here

Sumter county is going to be right
up among the front ranks Of Georgi a
counties showing enormous gains in
values this year, for while the actual
figures cannot be ascertained for A
week yet it is a known fact that tax
able values will show a big lead this
year over the returns made last year.
Tax Receiver Howell stated yester-
day that figures could not be given
out until next week, but he thought
the gains would be considerable.
And this, too, despite the low ealua-
ton put upon farming lands return
ed for taxation.
There is not an acre of land =
Sumter county the poorest acre
twenty miles from Americus-tha
could be bought for SO, yet the av
erage of land values as returned
the averages less than tina
amount.
Lands here are selling daily at $4t
to $50 per acre, but this fact is no
indicated upon the tax books. Aat
there is no way to have such returns
made except through a board of taH
Iequalizers, who would insist upon it
1t is utterly impossible for any tax
receiver, no matter who, to do it.
Sumter's taxable values last yeal
were near the seven million dollar
mark, and this high figure may be
we'll exceeded in the returns for thi:
year.
Sumter's dog owners are coming III
to the scratch in making returns o.
their pets, as required by state law
The state imposes a dog tax of 8
upon every canine, and a man wh(
owns a dog and fails to return it il

from voting in any state or count.
election.
One Sumter county citizen with ;
fondness for fine dogs, returned al
even dozen, and pays his $12 for tn,
privilege Of owning them.

packing. At first the fruit was not
wrapped in tissue paper and labels
characteristic OF the section were not
used, but these conditions have by
experience been relegated and the
associations now give ginger to their
packing by using attractive labels on
the wrappers. The grower is COM
pelled to follow the demands Of the
consumer, and the label and meth
cd of packing increases the price to
n large percentage. At the various
packing houses hundreds OF women
are employed at remunerative
wages; the work is light, clean and
dignified; all the heavy lifting Is
done by men. The expense Of pick
ing, packing and marketing fruit
varies from so to 80 cents box.
Much depends upon the business
ability and the economy Of the
grower.
Special Trains Garry Fruit
After the fruit has been encased in
regular tiers In fancy labeled boxes,
1t is hustled into a refrigerator car
preparatory to a swift journey across
the continent, and frequently thence
to slide down the gangway Of ship
into the hold for long ocean voy-
age. Cars that carry fruit must be
the best the company has and be-
fore starting each must be we'll iced
In order to keep the fruit at the
proper temperature, and, further, to
preserve and protect 1t from its long
dusty ride over the plains. At inter-
walls on the long journey the car is
re-iced.
All trains are made up with fruit
cars only, and are given the right Of
way with speed limited only to safe
t. and convenience. So fast are
these trains that the experienced ho-
bos seek preference on some other
train.
