UNDERWOOD THE MAN
TO CHECK ROOSEVELT
Washington Thinks He Could &c.
Many Republican Votes.

Washington. May 27,-Theodore
Roosevelt's increasing strength in the
republican contest for the nomination
has strengthened the sentiment al.
ready developed in favor of Represen
tative Oscar W. Underwood, of Ala
hama. Many democrats feel that with
the rough rider" plunging the repub-
licans into radicalism, a conservative
democrat would be not only his most
effective opponent, but would attract
hordes of conservative republicans
Mr. Underwood already has "a in
structed delegates and his managers
hope to capture the North Carolina
state convention.
When MIR. Roosevelt was nominated
in 1904 the conservative element in
the party obtained the nomination OF
Judge Parker, who was unknown tc
the country at large. Now, it is urged
in Mr. Underwood's behalf that he is
not only we'll known but widely cred
tied with responsibility for the demo.
cratic houses record. Bryan's hos
tility is his chief drawback.

ION the morning of May g." he said
"as we were passing over the ocean
grave of the Titanic, the rocking Of
the boat suddenly started the ships

AS Mr.. Charlton opened up his desi;
he found a letter from C. A. Brenker-
hoff, of Stafford, Ariz., who agrees to
ship to the reserve 500 pairs of goats
to eat all infammable growth from
the reserve and thereby prevent dis
astrous fires.
There is pasture for 1000 goats
Mr. Charlton stated, and many choice
tin cans discarded by campers to
tickle their appetites. II is probable
other goats will be shipped into the
reserve.
This is an inexpensive way of clear
ing the fire breaks, according to Mr.
Charlton, and just as effective as
sending force of men into the re.

lar way. The goats will arrive at tn,

Eng species, passed through Macon
early this afternoon for New York. The
car was shipped from the farm OF
Knight & Bateman, and was routed
over the Central of Georgia railroad.
Following close behind this first
car from Bibb county, which also rep
rcsents Georgia's first shipment and
marks the opening of the peach sea-
son, will follow this afternoon and to-
morrow morning other cars from
Fort Valley and Marshallville, and
before nightfall tomorrow the peach

to two weeks late, freight cars will
be filled with Georgias greatest agri-
cultural resource except the cotton,
and while the peach men of this Sec
ton do not look for a bumper crop,
the early species has shown up well
and the prediction is that the season
will net better receipts than two
years ago. when the crop was nearly
twice as large as this year.
The railroads are preparing 20
handle the fruit in the quickest way
possible, and the side tracks of the
Central and Southern at Fort Valley

.SUMTER'S CROPS
PROMISING At
THIS STAGE
COTTON IS GROWING FAST
Conditions Improved During
Past Ten Days

Farmers in Americas yesterday from
all portions of the county, called here
by the session of court, brought favor
allie reports of crop conditions, and
declared the prospect had improved
considerably during the past ten days
of fine growing weather. Both corn
and cotton have improved greatly dur
ing that TeTiod. While there has been
10 rain here in nearly two weeks the
crops are not suffering yet, especi lily
the cotton crop, which has vastly itn-
proved under the influence of plenty
of hot, cry weather
The lids are entirely free of grass,
the crop las been we'll worked, and
on many farms near Americas the
young plants are half knee high and
growing vigorously. AS a rule the
crop is pretty we'll chopped out, and
while not as large as at this time last
year, owing to the late season, the
condition seems favorable.
Farmers certainly hope that the
weather will continue fair this week,
as they are now in the midst of the
oat crop harvest. The oats are full
ripe, and on every farm in Sumter
county the reapers will be busily en-
gagged this week in harvesting one of
the finest crops of oats grown in Sum
ter in several years.
All along the line, agriculturallv,
there has been very considerable i'm
provement recently, and the prospect
now is quite favorable for a good
yield this year.
