BANKERS were
DELIGHTED With
WINDSOR HOTEL
MADE A fine IMPRESSION
PrOfuSG In Their Praises of
1t and AmGriCuS

Expressions of pleasure were heard
on all sides from the visiting bankers
yesterday in their references to the
Windsor Hotel, it's appearance, it's
management and its menu and SER
vice.
Around the hotel lobby, at the meet
ing place of the bankers, on the auto
ride, at the barbecue, everywhere there
were warm words of commentator
for the fine Americus hotel
Especially were the visitors from
New York and other far-away places
enthusiastic in their praises. Coming
to small Georgia town, they had
as was quite natural, expected to find
a small hotel, with about the usual
accommodations that go with them
When they found themselves in a
thoroughly modern, up-to-date hotel,
with its own electric light plant, its
own cold storage, its own waterworks,
with every convenience and comfort
that can be found in the best hotels
of cities several times the size of this,
they could not refrain from expressing
not only their qualification, but their
complete astonishment
The new Windsor has been a grea;
card for Americus but never was it
a better advertisement for the pro-
gressive spirit of the town than yes
terday, never did it advertise Ameri-
Gus to more advantage. The bank
ers will carry the news with them |
wherever they go. And favorable as |
was the impression Americus made on
them as a whole, not the least import
ant of the factors in creating that i'm
preston was the hotel at which they
were accommodated and found every
attention to their comfort that could
be desired.

MARRIED
THE RIDE

One unfortunate accident alone
marred the entertainment yesterday of
the visiting bankers
On the return run from Anderson
willie the large touring car of w. A.
Dodson, Esq, ran into a telegraph
pole, resulting in severe sprains to
the left arm of Mr.. r. Wilmington,
of Savannah, representing The Ma
tional Bank of Savannah, and also
painfully bruising his body.
In the car were Messrs. w. A Dod-
son, ]. H. Hagerty N. M. Dudley, Mr..
Baldwin, of New York City and Mr.
Wilmington. Mr. Hagerty was driv-
ing. At the sharp turn of the road
into the Oglethorpe road, at the
Cart plantation, the car ran into d
telegraph pole.
The frail shield of the car was
driven into MIR. Wilmington, who
was thrown forward, severely bruising
him and spraining his arm severely
Mr.. Wilmington had his arm attend
ed to by Dr. Cato.
Col. w. A. Dodson also received
painful scalds to his left hand from
hot water from the radiator.

BIG CROWD
Will GREET
MERCERIANS
\ ...sIaa
AT The AUDITORIUM TONIGHT
GIep Club Performance at 8
O'clock

Indications as made known by the
sale of seats and the interest that IS
being manifested in the coming Of
the Mercer Glee club to the city to-
night, give assurance that the per-
formance here will be largely attend
ed and will be highly appreciated.
Mr.. A. M. Arnett, of the High
School faculty, who has had the man
agement of the local end of the per-
formance in hand, has worked faith
fully to secure large attendance to-
night, and he has been ably assisted
in the work by several OF the students
of the High School, who have done
excellent work in the sale of tickets.
The fact that part of the pro-
ceeds will go toward the High School
fund has served to add much interest
to the performance by the Glee club
tonight. Not only are the friends OF
the High School interested in the
work, but also the many Mercer alum
nj in the city who have taken an ac-
tive part in helping to secure the sue
cess of the venture.
There is no doubt that the perform
ance will be one of the highest order,
and there will be varied features thar
will please all who attend. The club
has had excellent training, and there
are seventeen collegians in the num-
Der who will make music and fun here
tonight.

miles over one of Sumter's fine high
ways. Quickly the machines were in
motion again, speeding over the road
freshly dressed and smooth as velvet.
Other features of interest here may
nave appealed strongly to the bank
ers, but nothing more than did the
good roads of Sumter county, of which
they had heard so much.
A ride of twenty-five minutes

visitors and showed them through the

were all visited. 1t was the first
visit of many of the party to the Ma

IMPORTANT
Meeting Of
SONS OF Vets
TO BE Held HERE SATURDAY
Final Arrangements to Be
Made For Reunion

For the purpose of making final ar
rangements for the meeting of the To-
cal camp of Sons of Confederate Vet
erans there will be held this morning
at II O'Clock meeting of the camp
at the courthouse.
At this meeting it is expected that
reports will be handed in from every
committeeman who has been engaged
in finding out the names of those who
will make the trip to Macon to the
Confederate Veterans reunion ther4
The local camp of Sons of Confederate
Veterans will act as an escort for the
veterans.
Today there will also be chosen a
sponsor and maid of honor to re-
present the local camp at the reun-
ion. This choice is to be made by
means of ballot and not by appoint
ment SO it will furnish an interesting
feature of the mornings session. On
account of the importance of the busl-
ness to be considered and on account
of the fact that action taken relative
to it is final, the largest possible at
tendance is urged by Commander E. A.
Nisbet and the other officials of the
camp.

WILL ignore The Recommendation
AS TO THE ROADS OF WEBSTER
County Commissioners and Citizens Come to AmeFiCuS
For Legal Advice

Webster county is all stirred up over
the roads question.
At the last meeting of the grand
jury a recommendation was made, in
the presentments returned, that the
present systm of working the roads
be abolished. The grand jury he'd
that the results did not justify the
expenditure.
This recommendation created some
thing of a Juror. The county COM
missioners were undecided as to
what weight such a recommendation
had Naturally they desire to do
their work in accordance with the
law and not be involved in any legal
troubles.

While the grand jury called for the
adjustment of the method of work
ing the roads now in vogue, many
prominent citizens of the county are
highly in favor of the work contin-

Up to five years ago it was an ex-
cetiOnal instance where the Sumter
county farmer plowed his lands to a
greater depth than three or four
inches. Scratching the surface, as it
is now called, was the general plan.
Only very few of the most progress
sive type of planters had been educat-
ed to the profitableness of deeper
plowing and had gone down into
old mother earth two or three inches
deeper finding that the resulting crops
amply justified the effort.
Now deep blowing is becoming mora
and more the vogue And instead of
six or seven inches, ten to twelve
inches is getting to be regarded as

III proper depth to aim for. The
great disc plows on some of the farms
go down ten inches with ease, drawn
by four or five stalwart mules, or, as
is the case on several large planta-
tons, propelled by gasoline traction
engine.
The traction engine on the farm, by
the way, is here to stay. 1t has pass
ed beyond the experimental point in
Sumter county. The number of them
is increasing every year and the sight
of a great plow turning up the soil
under the guidance of skilled hand,
while heavy traction engine gives 1t

BRE|TENSTE|N
IS SECRETARY

James A. Shoemaker today re
signed the secretaryship of thu
Montana State Fair to accept ;
position with the Great Northern
railroad, and A. j. Breitenstein
secretary of the chamber of com
merce of Missoula, selected by
the board of directors to fill our
his term, which expires March /
1915. The resignation is effect
i've Dec. 81.
Mr.. Breitenstein is a director
Of the state fair, and under the
provisions of the state law, he
will be able to continue to act ir
that capacity and hold the sec
retaryship at the same time. The
other members of the board fee
that in securing him for the DO
sition, they secured the best man
possible.
He has practically organized
the Missoula chamber of COM
merce during his three years as
secretary. When he came in Of
flee the association was lethargic,
and the membership small and
lacking enthusiasm. Since he
has had charge there has been
hardly a public matter that the
chamber has not discussed and
aided in. Missoula and the fer
tile valleys around it have been
advertised throughout the coun-
try, and every exhibition of
western products has contained a
booth from Missoula that was a
credit to the county and the
state.
Mr.. Breitenstein has been II
years in Missoula. He worked in
the local division offices of the
Northern Pacific for time, was
then engaged in commercial busi-
ness, and three years ago took
the secretaryship. He has han
died an immense correspondence
with people in all parts of the
the country, and organized BAN
quets, exhibitions and all sorts
of community enterprises. His
training in railroad work and
commerce have furnished him
with the sort of training de-
by the positions he oc-
cupies.

NORTHERN PACIFIC PEOPLE
ARE WATCHING RESERVATION

That the head officials of the
Northern Pacific have not for
gotten the reservation and Ro-
nan is evidenced this week by
the visit of R. j. Dee, travelling
freight and passenger agent of
that system.
. Mr.. Dee spent several days on
the reservation collecting figures
and facts to be forwarded to the
head offices. He found that fully
65 per cent of the grain ship
ments from the reservation are
going to market via the Great
Northern and that the latter
road is drawing heavily from N.
2. territory; he found also that
the excessive freight charges
are driving many of the very
best farmers out of business. 1t
was as plain to him as it is to the
farmer that no grain raiser can
raise wheat and pay a charge of
Is cents per bushel to get his
grain to the railroad, then "a
cents railroad freight from the
shipping point to Minneapolis,
and sell the grain at 78 cents per
bushel and leave a profit. Mr..
Dee found this to be the situation
in the largest grain raising belt
on the reservation and he is as
anxious as anyone to find a rem
edy. The remedy must be a
means of transportation, cheaper
freight rates and better prices
for grain.
1t is limited very strongly that
the activity of the Milwaukee
people in Western Montana has
caused the N. P. some uneasi-
ness and that they are keep
ing a very close watch on the
movements of Milwaukee field
men who are reported to be look
ing for a feasible route from Mis-
SOula to the Flathead country
Mr.. Hill of the Great Northern
has in the past had no fear of
the N. P. invading his territory,
but it is different with the Mil
waukee. If the latter road starts
for the Flathead, Mr.. Hill will
have to get busy and it is just
possible that Mr.. Dee is out for
the information first hand. At
any rate, the indications are that
there will be things doing before
the close of the year 1918.
