new YORK TIRED OF
DEMOCRATIC rule
Hearst Says Party Will Be
RGpudiatGd

Washington. D. c., Nov. What
is the political situation in New
York?
What will be the probable out come
of the election?
What will be your attitude, in view
of your recent Democratic declara
tion?"
In answer to the above questions,
Mr.. William R. Hearst gave The Wash
ington. Post the following interview:
The political situation in New York
is mainly one of Democratic demoral-
ization and general dissatisfaction with
the leadership of .ho Democratic party
in that state
"The outcome will certainly be the
defeat of the Democratic party in
whole or in part. A feature of the
Democratic defeat which will interest
the country will be the loss of the
Democratic assembly, the only branch
of the Legislature which is voted upon
this year.
This Democratic defeat will be due
to no universal cr unavoidable politi-
cal conditions, but to definite dissat-
isfaction with the leadership Of the
Democratic party in the state Of Ne"
York, and the course Of the admins
tration consequent upon such dishon-
est and incompetent leadership.

INSIST ON PRIMARY
FOR PRESIDENCY
LdFOIIGttG to Force Fight In
Committee

Washington, d c., Nov. 1.-When
the Republican national committee
meets in Washington in December, to
decide upon the time and place for
the next national convention, Senator
La Follette's law partner, A. T. Rogers,
of Madison Wis, members of the ma
tional committee from Wisconsin, will
make formal motion that the com
mittee declare itself in favor of a
presidential preference primary cleo
tion in each State. He also will ask
that a subcommittee be appointed to
take the matter up with the State or
ganizations, and report back to the
national committee.
The managers of Senator La Fol
lette's candidacy have already an
nounced their intention to make this
demand on the national committee.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, head of the
progressive league, has made public
his views on the subject. A formal
letter will be sent to each member
of the committee embodying the de-
mand, and then the senator's law part
ner will bring it up formally in the
committee.
The La Toilette men do not expect
to carry through their program. They
claim six members of the national
committee and do not expect to get
many more votes than that number
for their proposal. The committee
that is managing Senator La Follette's
campaign predicted yesterday that
President Taft would have no dele
gates west of the Mississippi river in
the national convention except those
from Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming,
and they declare that the last two
states are doubtful. The clerical
force at Washington headquarters of
the La FG lette movement will be
doubled in a short time. 1t was sta
ted yesterday that the headquarters
had sent out 10000 letters last week
and 10000 speeches.
The La Toilette managers have no
choice of cities for the next conven-
ton. They believe, however, that it
will go ia Chicago.

AMERICUS SHIPS
CARGO Of COTTON
TO THE ORIENT
LOCAL Firm MAKES SHIPMENT
Fifteen Hundred Bales Con-

Direct from the Americus compress

hundred bales Sumter county cotton,
probably the largest consignment of
the tleecy staple ever made by any in
terror Georgia city to the Orient, where
so much of the South's chief product

1t is a feat calculated to keep Amer
icus in the limelight as live wire in
the cotton trade of Georgia
While great deal of cotton is ship
ped to China and Japan this Amoricua
shipment leaving tomorrow is by far
the largest single consignment and one
worth a fortune.

of which Mr. A. M. Grayson is manag-

classifying and compressing the cotton
The 1900 bales will constitute u
pretty good trainload, and will go di-
rect to Savannah. There it will be
loaded upon some big tramp steamer
for the other sire of the world.
The cotton is rated via the Suez Ca
nal, and many weeks will be required
for the long trip of 10000 miles. The
/ 800 bales are worth probably $4,000
or $4,000. The freight charges alone,
Americus to Shanghai, are $500, quite
snug little sum to be paid out as
shipping charges alone.

tionists now so busy there.

Southern League Albany secured him
earl last season from Montgomery.
He played the Season oogion. select

SOIL MAPS ARE
NOW READY FOR
DISTRIBUTION
SECEIVED HERE YESTERDAY
MAY Be Secured Locally at
Board Of Trade

Ready and available fer distribu-
ton among the people Of this sec
ton are 1000 soil survey maps of
Sumter county, the foregoing number
of this important government publ
cation having been received yester-
day by Secretary Clarence J. White
of the Board Of Trade.
1t required several mail bags to
transport the maps, as they took up
considerable space. They arrived,
however, neatly incIosed in separate
envelopes, with the name of Congress-
man Dudley NJ. Hughes and the gov
ernment frank imprinted on them.
The fact that the maps were sent
out in this way will mean much to the
local Board Of Trade in handling them,
as it saves not only the cost and
troublein providing envelopes and in
addressing them but also the expense
Of paying postage on the entire lot,
the latter item alone amounting to a
considerable sum.
AS has been stated before this
map may be obtained upon applica-
tion to the secretary of the local
Board of Trade, or by sending direct
to Congressman Hughes. There is
llyr IN hO
come of an application for a map
whether it is made through the local
Board of Trade or direct to Congress-
man Hughes, as in either case the
map is obtained through the cour-
tesy Of the congressman from this
district
Every enc interested in this mat
ter who applies for a map should
feel amply repaid for the trouble, as
the maps and bulletins that accom-
pany them are we'll worth having.
The present publication is issued
through the agency of the Bureau
of Soils of the United State Depart
ment of Agriculture. so that it is a
publication that is authentic and au-
thoritiye. The importance of Sum
ter county as an agricultural sec
tion is shown by the fact that only
fourteen counties in the state have so
far been considered by the govern
ment in the making of these soil sur
veys.
The map is much larger and more
complete than would be expected
when the fact is taken into consid-
GRAFTON that it is issued as part of
a government bulletin The dimen-
sions of the map, which are % by 80
inches, give an indication OF the
amount of space that is allowed for
the various details that enter into
such a publication. The map is fold
ed in to the neatly bound bulletin in
order to provide for it's being carried
conveniently and safely, the entire
publication bearing the date of Sep
tember II, 1911.
The bulletin that accompanies the
map is one of great practical value.
1t includes a general description OF
the area under consideration, the eli
mate. agriculture, and soils, the lat
ter being considered in detail and
very carefully, as is indicated by the
81 title OF the map and bulletin. Alto
gether the bulletin is far above
the average government publication
in regard to it's practical nature anc
ITS general usefulness. Every wide
awake and enterprising Sumter coun'
ty farmer will do well to secure
copy of the publication that is offered
IN this manner free to the public.

RECORD CROWD
CAME To Town
TO SEE CIRCUS
The Weather WAS IDEAL
Every One Enjoyed a Genuine
Holiday Here

1t is not often that Americus as
cvmes the Metropolitan appearance
that it possessed yesterday when ac-
cording to reports from those who
should know, the largest crowd as
Isembled here that has been known IN
many years.
Even on Monday night the visitors
began coming in, the predominating
element, Of course, being the coloTed
gentry. Early yesterday morning the
roads were literally filled with incom-
| ing vehicles from every direction,
wagons, buggies and other vehicles
were loaded to the very utmost capa-
city. The morning train over the
Seaboard was also a liberal feeder
for the crowd, as the many out-of-
town people who came in on this
train formed a stream from the Sea-
board station to Lamar street for al
most half an hour.
So many business men in the city
We're impressed by the large number
Iot people present here yesterday that
there seems but little doubt that it
was indeed a record-breaking crowd
in every particular. Every neighbor-
ing town within radius of many
miles Of Americus was not only rep
Presented but well represented among
tire people present. And the promo
ters Of the circus did not carry away
all the cash by any means, though it
is estimated that they received a thor
oughly representative portion Of the
ready funds that were available and
eagerly spent by those who came to
town on Circus day"
Altogether it was indeed a gala
day here There was a gala attend
ance, and the spirit of the crowd was
IN the very truth a holiday spirit of
the most pronounced type. Local bus
mess men reapod good harvest Of
ready cash, for there were many
things that were in constant demand,
from items of larger variety on down
to those of lesser Importance To
sum it up briefly, trade was very lively
and profitable even for a circus day,
when most of the ready cash is sup
posed to leave town rather than to
be spent here.
In spite of the excessively large
number of negroes here, there was
but very little disorder. Every one
was out for good time and did not
disturb any one else, unless an exces-
Sive cargo of near" beer or some
other too invigorating beverage hap
pened to be aboard. Only about the
accustomed number of arrests were
made by the police force, and these
We're for such comparatively harm
less disturbances as drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. Not more than
a score of arrests even of this kind
We're reported last night so that the
day passed off very quietly and salts
factorily in every way.
The circus was pronounced by con-
noisseurs to be one of the very best
ever seen here, and all who saw it
came away with thorough satisfac-
tion at having witnessed a perform
anca that was pleasing in every par
ticular. Even the weather smiled
upon the occasion. and what prom
ised in the beginning to be very un-
satisfactory and unsettled day as re-
