COUNTY TO Store AWAY
Big CROPS OF GRAIN
Creamery is Being Built in
Advance

Sumter county is going in to make
hay while the sun shines, and to the
end of housing the bumper crops in
prospect the commissioners are build
ing a huge granary sixty by one hun
dred feet, on the county farm two
miles west of the city, The commis-
sioners are long on grain and hay, and
from an eighty-acre field on the farm
Commissioner Bolton estimates a
yield of four thousand bushels grain,
or fifty bushels per acre. This would
be a bumper crop, indeed, but Supt
Christian has the farm in excellent
trim, well fertilized and fifty bushels
oats per acre will cause no surprise
After gathering the oats month hence
the eighty acres will be sown in peas,
and an immense hay crop will be
gather d-a hundred tons of it-worth
$40 to $25 per ton, This yield of oats
and hay will go a long way towards
feeding the one hundred mules owned
by the county and worked ON the pub
lie roads. The county farm is worked
by convicts at odd times and costs the
county very little.

GUARDS ADOPTED TO SECURE BSNESKE CONSMMATON OF DEAL

Indications are that the bonds to be

eminently satisfactory
Such is the gist of the announce
ment made yesterday by Alderman
Lee Allen, chairman of the Finance
committee of City Council. Alderman

nance committee have labored most
diligently and increasingly to bring
about the happy consummation of af-
fairs which now seems assured.
Bids for the bonds must be in the
hands of the committee prior to 7
o'clock of May 16, according to the
date stipulated by the action of the
City Council at its last meeting AS
the bids are to be submitted sealed,
no collusion between the firms bid

AS a further precautionary measure,
each competing firm has been required
to deposit with the committee three
per cent. of any given bid, as pledge
of good faith.

PUTS BULLET THROUGH
Her WEARY BRAINS
Distracted Atlanta Woman
Seeks Relief in Death

Atlanta, Ga, May 2-Slipping from
her bed this morning at o'clock and
passing through the shaded room in
which her little son lay seriously III
with scarlet fever, Mrs. z. V, Lacy,
aged SO, fumbled under a pile OF
blankets on a dark shelf for a re-
vClvcr which she knew her dead ia
ther had loaded and put there several
months ago, pressed the muzzle to heg
forehead and shot herself through the
brain. She is now lying within the
shadow CT death at the Grady hospital
and her attending physician expresses
no hope for her recovery.
The shooting took place at the home
of her mother, Mrs. w. V. Guthrie, rs
Richardson street, and while several
members of her immediate family were
in the house none saw the woman
conscious after she had gone to bed
last night
Distraction through family misfor-
tunes is given as the cause of the
deed. Her father died a short time
ago, her young daughter eloped and
her youngest son was taken i'll with
scarlet fever.

Agricultural HOpGfuIs 6 tg5

The Americus High School team
turned a neat trick yesterday after
noon when they defeated the Agricul-
tural College team by a score of 6 to
8. 1t is a feather in the cap of the
High School bunch to have defeated
the team which on last Friday wal
loped Cordele, as, with the exception
of two players, the Agricultural team
was the same that played Friday
The High School won a decisive vic
tory, as they had the call on the agri-
cultural apprentices in nearly every
department of the game. Monahan
slarrcd lehind the bat for the High
School, not a single 'Aggy" base run
nor having been able to purloin sec
ond, while Johnson, the opposing re-
ceiver, had six stolen bases chalked
up against him.
Several games have been planned
by the High School team, among them
being one with Dawson, probably next
Ir day A week later they will tackle
the Albany High School team again
on the local diamond. The Albany
bunch is the object of special sohcl-
tude on the part of the local team

TO PUT UP TALLEST
BUILDING In WORLD
New York Now to Have So
Story Structure

New York, May 2.-The complete
plans for the tallest if not the largest
building of its kind in the world have
been filed with Building Superintend-
ent Rudolph P. Miller by Cass Gilbert,
the architect. These plans consist Of
ia set of seventy-four large blue prints
and show the complete construction Of
this immense structure, which is now
in course of construction on the west
side of Broadway, between Park place
and Barclay street.
The main part of the building will
be thirty stories high, with massive
tower extending in the centre an addi-
tional twenty-five stories, making a to-
tai number of fifty-tive stories, thereby
making it the tallest structure of its
kind in the world. The main part of
the structure will be 3S4 feet high,
while the tower will be an additional
366 feet high, making a total height
the apex OF the tower. where will be
of $50 feet from the street level to
located an immense electrically light
ed lantern which will be visible at
night for many miles around and will
be another beacon light for the in
coming transatlantic steamers.
The plans show that this will be one
of the handsomest structures of its
kind in the entire universe. In design
it will be a combination of the Ital-
ian, French and modern Renaissance
throughout the main part, with Gothic
steeples at the roof of the main struc-
ture. The ground floor will contain
stores and the second floor banking
ojces, with business offices above. The
building will be absolutely fireproot
and will be equipped with sixteen
high speed elevators, six running to
the thirtieth floor, six to the fortteth
floor and four to the fifty-first floor, the
fifty-fifth floor and the lantern being
reached by spiral stairway.
