people here.
But these are not the only agen-
cies. The Agricultural College is prov
ing one of the best advertising as
sets We have. Why, away down in
Southeast Georgia the other day, two
hundred miles from here, 4 heard Il
farmer tell another man that the col
lege up in Sumter was the best in the
South. There is no telling how far
the fame of Sumter county has been
carried by the advertising the college
has given us.
"Our High School, too, is doing its
share. Do you know such showing
as that down at Fitzgerald the other
day helps wonderfully to spread the
fame of the city as a desirable place
of residence. OF course, the High
School advertising does not extend as
far as that of some other factors, but
it is a capital card just the same.
THE hospital, the Y. NJ. c. A., the
library-all these institutions, too, are
doing their share in keeping Ameri-
Gus right to the front of the process
sion. Each one reaches its own es-
pecial class of people, and creates in
them a desire to know more about
Americas.
THE New Windsor hotel, too, is al
ready doing a great and highly eff
fective work in advertising the city.
The travelling men are already spread
ing the news of the magnificent ho-
tel that Americas has. Every man
who comes to Americas and sees
the changes wrought in the hotel goes
away to tell the news to others. Thous-
ands will hear of it in the course of
a year That's good advertising, too,
I want to tell you.
"tAnd then, of course, the Board of
Trade is steadily at it all the time,
advertising and advertising. 1t helps
to spread the news of all the other
things that are advertising city and
county.
IF all of our people really appre-
ciated what city and county We have
got, would post themselves about
them, and wherever they go would
talk of them, think what a wonderful
amount of additional advertising they
would give. That is what we should
all do 1 do it myself and I think
every man and woman with any local
pride or love for home should do the
same thing"

SPREADING The FAME OF
AMERICUS And SUMTER COUNTY
Travelling Man Tells Of the Agencies That are Making City
and County Widely Known

Americas is to-day the best adver-
tised town in all Southwest Georgia
the best without single excep-
ton"
That was the statement made to The
by an observant man
who is travelling considerable of the
time, who keeps his eyes open, and
who knows whereof he speaks
TN fact" he continued, leaving
out Atlanta, Savannah, Macon and Au-
gusta, Americas is to-day the best ad-
vertised town in all Georgia.
I'm my travels, no matter whether
in Georgia or the adjacent states,
find an unusual degree of interest has
been awakened in this city and the
country Immediately surrounding it.
am frequently called upon to tell
about it, and everywhere i find that
a very high opinion exists as to what
can be found here and what the flu
ture holds in store for the city and
country. In fact ] find that the people
away from Americas are just as big
boosters for Americas as the people
at homeland more than some of our
people who sit like clans and say
There are a half dozen agencies
that are working to continuously ad-
vertise this city and county," contin-
ued the speaker.

nificent progress the. county has made
agriculturally must be given first
place in the list. If we had known
in the past what a tremendous ad-
vertisement good roads are We would
had a complete system of them many
years ago. However, We are making
up for lost time in that respect. Our
fine highways are the toast of the
state today and the facts about them
have been carried south, east, north
and west.
The prosperity Of the county as a
whole is also a telling advertisement.
Wherever 1 go l hear people say:
Sumter county; yes, that's prosper
GUS county, we hear, right at the top
of the list 1t always makes me feel
good to hear that and I strengthen
the impression.

SEEM TOFLEE-
FROM VICE

Philadelphia, Pa, April 2S.-In an
address on Social Responsibility be-
fore the Presbyterian Ministerial AS
ISOLATION, Professor Simon N. Patten,
of the University of Pennsylvania, de-
pICred the present methods of Christ
ian churches in the saving of souls.
Instead of remaining in the hotbeds
of vice and there exercising a health-
influence, he said he had noticed with
no little concern that the churches
deemed it wise to abandon the heart
of the city for more attractive SD
burban churches, or more genteel
and aristocratic congregation. Pro-
fessor showed in detail the low moral
eDb in this city, brought about by
the present economic conditions. Low
wages and the indifference and I'M
happiness which must come as d
necessary result were in his opinion
the foundation of many of the social
ills which religion did not seem to De
able to stem.
More and more" he said, "you will
notice that it is the tendency of the
modern churches to move out to the
suburbs, and by so doing withdrawing
themselves from the very conditions
which they should try to correct. But
before you accomplish a religious re-
viva! you must change the present
standard of things. AS long as men
are paid single mems wages you will
have depravity among you, and as long

CHAPTER XII.
The Night.

That night, Josephine st. Auban did
not sleep. For hours she tossed about,
listening. Infrequently, sounds came to
her ears. Through the window came now
and again faint notes of night-faring
birds, south-bound on their autumnal
migration. Once in a while a distant
step resounded in the great building, or
again there came the distant voices of
the negroes singing in their quarters be-
yond. The house had ceased its daily
activities. The servant had left it.
Who occupied 1t now? Was she alone?
Was there one other?

actual or recognized action of the physi-
cal senses-Josephine rose, passed to the
window. and looked out. The moonlight
lay upon the lawn like a broad silver
blanket. Faint stars were twinkling in

about to happen? Where could she fly,

way only could danger approach. She

WARNING To PARENTS.

It Is risky to feed raw milk and

its lower SIDE Be careful to cut close
to the main branch. You can never
cut close enough with the shears and
seldom with saw. Use chisel and
cut clean and close and parallel with
the main branch. If you cut two or
three inches from the main branch,
and at right angles to the limb, you
can probably do 10 times as much
work as you you can do If you prune
properly, but the wounds will be very
slow in healing, and many Of them
will never heal. The stumps will de-
cay instead and weaken the main
branch Thousands of fine trees have
been ruined by neglecting to prune
close to the main branch. Be sure
and paint the stumps Of all large
limbs. Painting does not assist in
healing the wound but 1T prevents de-
cay of the stump. Use any cheap
paint but see to it that it does not
wash off or become absorbed. It Is
better to use paint of the same color
as the bark of the tree.
Above all prune to a handsome SYM
metrical form. Select the type or
form of head that you prefer or that
you believe to be best adapted to
your surroundings and prune to that
type. If you get tree that will not
respond to your pruning, dig it up and
try again. But make your orchard a
place of beauty.

must be first taken into consideration.
II the mother leaves, gives up what
seems the hopeless task of trying to
win the respect and the loyalty, even
II not tho love, of her husband, how
after is she able to support them?
It's hard to think of sordid ques-
tons of money when heart and soul
are torn with bitterness and grief,
yet such questions must be faced.
Divorce at the present time Is
menace that has flung its shadow over
hundreds and hundreds of homes in
America. Stop and think of what it
must have meant to all the little
children concerned, the pitiful little
ones who are divided In their love
and loyalty, who cannot understand
and yet must be the ones to suffer.
But all this does not answer the
question Of how much woman
should bear, does it? And the only
answer that I know is-as much az
she can and as long as she can, II
there are children to be thought of.

A Long Courtship.

"Grandma." asked one Of the
little girls. what was the longest
courtship you ever heard OFF,
"What a question, child" exclaimed
the grandmother. "What put that
into your head?" "Oh, l 1'lst
wanted TO know"
.Well, deary," said grandma, with
a pensive smile, II think the longest
one I ever knew anything tbout was
the courtship between your grand
father and me, more than so years
ago. Listen, and will tell you about
it,
1T was a few years after they had
discovered gold in California, and
people began to flock there from all
over the country. You know there
were no railroads running out that
way then( and everybody had to trav-
ell in wagons. In the little town away
back East where we lived several
families that had the California fever
dubbed together and went in sort OF
caravan. Our family was one Of
them. was girl of about 20 years.
"Youf grandfather, who was few
years older, belonged to one Of the
other families. He began counting
me almost as soon as we started, and
he kept it up all the way across the
country, but 1 didn't say yes till we
got to California
"How long did it take 20 uto get
there?"
"Six months"
"Six months " Why, grandma, that
wasn't SO awfully long courtship?
"Why, child,'' said gradma, sit was
three thousand miles!"

WILL SOON Be TINE
TO START GARDENS

WAKING to the song of the birds,
w the commuter is forcibly re-
minded that soon he must bring home
seeds and roots to plant in his flower
and kitchen garden. Already. how.
ever, some of the enterprising out-of-
town jewellers, who wish to take adj
vantage of the first days Of spring,
are taking home their gardening i'm
plements. rakes, spades and &C.
casionally we spy peeping out Of over
coat pockets sundry small packages
which look as though they might con.
tain sweet pea seeds, nasturtiums,
cornfowers, asters, etc., or any OF the
flowers which thrives when planted as
soon as the frost leaves the ground.
OF these perhaps the sweet peas
may be planted earlier, for, according
to an old saw, to have the largest and
finest sweet peas one must put them
in the ground on Saint Patrick's day,
the seventeenth Of March.
The country housewife knows, how
ever, that with the best predictions of
an early spring, she must not venture
to set out her seeds until the cherry
trees begin to blossom. Sweet alys-
sum, verbenas. iobelia, marigolds.
cosmos, scarlet sage are only few of
the flowers which may be planted as
soon as the frost Is out Of the ground,
but perhaps these are the most IA
miliar.
In planting these It is an old rule
that the Inc seeds should be sprinkled
and the earth busted over them, else
the depth of ground over them will rot
the tiny seed.
