HAVE BOOTHS
ERECTED HERE
ON SATURDAY
IN READINESS FOR BAZAAR
'POSsums are Being FatteDGd
For FedStS

II was announced yesterday that
the booths that will be employed at
tho Razaar next week are being con-
structed at the shops and will be ready
for erection in the armory hall Satur-
day. This is only one feature of the
preparations that are being made for
the bazaar.
The operations of the bazaar will
begin Tuesday when the ladies who
are in charge will serve dinner to all
who wish a royal feast. Tuesday at
noon will. therefore, be the first day Of
the bazaar, which will continue
throughout the week.
With reference to the good things
that are to be served there will be
'possums and turkeys, barbecues and
cakes. in profusion throughout th4
week. The bazaar will be conducted
very much on the same principle as
the other that have been held here by
the ladies', only it will be conducted on
a much larger and more sumptuous
basis.
Entertainments and features are be-
ing prepared for each day and even
ing while the bazaar lasts, which
will afford varied and most wholesome
amusement for both young and old.
The arrangements are being perfected
so that every one who comes can be
accommodated.
The ladies on the canvassing COM
mittee have been endeavoring to see
every person in the city in order t0
give each an opportunity to aid the
cause of the hospital. If for any rea-
son they have overlooked any one, they
would be glad to have an opportunity
of calling on any such peJson and #
giving them an opportunity of con
tributing to the cause which is a most
worthy one.

LESS reason
TO COMPLAIN
IN SUMTER
Than in ANY OTHER COUNTY
Crop Here Exceptionally Good
BY Comparison

Sumter county has less reason 10
complain about the cotton crop than
any other county in Georgia"
This was the comment of former
Commissioner Of Agriculture Hudson
yesterday in discussing the situation,
locally and generally.
Il have been well over the entire
cotton belt, visiting some sections more
tAan once" said Mr.. Hudson, "and
nowhere did / see cotton fields that
surpass those of Sumter, and In but
few instances did the crops appear as
well.
I'VE suffered, of course from ex-
cessive rains, but not to compare with
other sections. We seem to have d
natural drainage, surface and unde :
ground, that saves us from much Of
the evil results of excessive rainfall.
I'VE now have marketed here
over $4,000 bales of cotton" con
tinued Mr.. Hudson, "for which consid-
erably better prices have been re-
ceived than last year. There is sti'l
considerable cotton to come in. 1t is
true that on some plantations picking
Is practically over, but l should say
that there is still an assurance Of
5000 bales or more. Some have talk
ed with believe we will yet receive
close to 10000 bales more But 5000
bales would mean 10000 bales received,
which compares quite favorably with
years prior to last.
"Of course, we are disappointed in
not measuring up closer to last year 5
phenomenal record, but / insist aft n
studying the situation throue lout the
state personally and through friends,
that Sumter county has probably less
reason to complain than any other
county in Georgia"

CITY NOW owns
A MACHINE TO
DO DITCHING
WORK NEARING COMPLETION
Original Contract Has Been
AbrOgated

A ditching machine that will be of
great value to the city in completing
its sewer work, also in any future i'm
provements of this kind that may be
made, has been acquired by the city
at nominal cost and is now in active
use.
Recently when the sub-lessees under
the original contract with p. ]. Cur
ran, of Chattanooga, gave up the work
the contract was abrogated. The city
then undertook to complete the small
part of the work remaining without
the aid of contractors. In this partic-
ular most admirable progress has
been made.
On account of the fact that the @
was an attachment on the ditchins
machine when the sub-contractors
skipped out, the city bought the ma.
chine at very small cost, $500 hav-
ing been paid for a machine which
cost when new $4,000. Though the
machine Is not worth, of course. as
much as 1t was originally, 1t is con-
servatively estimated as worth $2,500
1t can be seen from this that the city
has acquired very valuable property
at small cost.
Such rapid progress has been made
since the city took control of the
work directly that the sewer extern
sion on Lee street has been completed,
and new work has been taken up on
North Lee street. The ditching ma
chine is now successfully cutting q
26 1-2 foot trench on Mayo street. In
deep bitches of this kind the aid of the
ditching machine is almost lnvalua
BILE. Not only will the original work
soon be completed, but other work
will be done at very little cost with the
ditching machine.

AVERAGE ESTIMATE Of COTTON
RECEIPTS HERE IS 32,4OO BALES
General Opinion In WGIMOmed Trade Circles That 6OOO gOOO
Bales Yet TO Come In From the AmeriCuS District

How much cotton of the current
crop will Americus receive and how
will receipts this season compare with
fgutes of the past three years, thus
a4ol ding a basis of business esti-
mate?
The question Is one of Importance
now as affecting business conditions,
any many and varied are the estimates
made.
AS a fact well known, all lines OF
business here are dependent upon
agriculture, and of this cotton is the
backbone-the money crop. Mer-
chants, bankers and business inter
ests in all lines are dependent therd-
upon.
Americus warehouses have received
to this date, November goth, total OF
$4,000 bales of cotton. The average
crop receipts, for a normal year, are
$4,000 to $4,000 The greater portion
of this current crop has been mar
keted and sold, and at excellent
prices.
But there is yet a considerable part
of the crop to be picked and marketed,
and various are the estimates as to
how much cotton there remains upon
the farm. In order to form basis OF
estimate The Times-Recorder yester.
day sought the opinion of ten we,l
posted warehousemen, bankers and
farmers thereupon.
George Oliver, warehouseman, es-
Inmates the total crop at $4,000 bales.
w. M. Humber, planter, made an
estimate of $4,000 bales.
M. M. Lowrey, banker, makes an es-
innate of 10000 bales.
e. C. Parker, warehouseman, esti-
mates 81. 900 to $4,000 bales.
Frank Z. Harold, warehouseman,
expects the crop to be about 10000
bales.
II. T. Davenport, planter, is less oo-
timistic, his estimate being 27OO0
L. G. Council. warehouseman. looks
for no more than about 81 900 bales.
George R. Ellis, president of the
Board of Trade, places his estimate
at $4,000 bales.
Arthur Rylander. planter, figures
a crop not more than $4,000 bales.
c. ]. White, cotton buyer, counts
upon a crop less than $4,000 bales.
The average of these ten estimates
is a crop of 80 400 bales, which, it IS
generally believed, is about as near
correct as can be made. The crop pf
1911 government figures) for Sum-
ter county was 48,207 bales; the crop
of 1910 government fgures) was 26. =
S29 bales, and for 1909 the crop was
34,50O bales.
The crop last year was an unusual
one, never before equalled, and can
scarcely be used in making COM
-parison. This years crop. 1t would
seem, will compare more .tayorably
with that OF 1909. Already It Is close
/ TO the total Of islc--only 26.S2S bales

One of Americus' newest residence

south end is building up as we'll
Mr.. Shelton Harris has for some
weeks occupied pretty six-room buIi-
galow near the Wheatley residence,
while Mr.. Lee Allen is now adding the
finishing touches to modern and
very attractive bungalow, near the
Harris residence, which he has built
for renting purposes, and for which
he had dozen applications before it
was completed.
Mr.. William Humber has had plans
drawn for a six or seven-room bunga-
low which he will erecte at once near
the Allen property, and will either oc-
cupy it himself as dwelling or lease
it to some desirable tenant seeking 4
C Bifortable home.
Other dwellings are contemplated
there as well, and Horne street, few
months hence, will be adorned with
pretty homes, so much in demand here.

new STREET NOW
OPEN FOR CITY
Near Third District AgTiCuI
tUral College

Americus has what is practically A
brand new street, the thoroughfare in
question having been practically COM
pleted and thrown open to traffic
within the past week The new street
has not yet been named, but it will be
duly christened later on.
The new street runs from Fielder
street to the Agricultural college, CIV
Ing a new thoroughfare through a
part of the city that is very rapidly
developing. Where the street be-
gins at the point nearest the city it is
seventy feet wide, while this width
ls lessened to fifty feet when the
street enters the land owned by the
Agricultural college. Altogether the
street Is a very attractive one.
1t was through the agency of the
city that the street was opened up, the
city having borne the expense incident
thereto. Already the street is showins
the signs of prosperity, as several
houses have been erected on that part
OF 1t nearest Fielder street. 1t should
Duiid up rapidly from the city proper
outward to the college, as this section
OF the city bids fair very soon to rival
In growth the south side.
