SAY OUR
COTTON CROP
IS The BEST
SUMTER never FALLS down
Better Off Than Other Sec
tiOnS of State

Sumter county and the little terri
tory around it's borders probably has
the best cotton crop in the whole state
of Georgia.
The output in this especial little bit
OF territory will probably be greater,
area painted considered, than in any
other district in the state.
That is the opinion that has recently
been expressed by a number of trav-
cling men who pass to and fro across
the state, and having keen eyes are
observant of conditions wherever they
go.
That also was the opinion expressed
by President Markham, of the Georgia
Central and Illinois Central, on his
recent visit. Mr.. Markham had seen
considerable of the country along the
lines of his road. His opinion was
tersely expressed: THE best cotton
have seen anywhere"
Mr. Walter Steed says the same
thing. Mr.. Steed has been pretty well
over the Third congressional district
with its fifteen counties, and has also
been in other sections.
The section of which Sumter is the
heart has probably the best cotton crop
in the state" said he. 1T is off of course
compared with last year, but l have
not seen as good fields anywhere as
1 have seen in Sumter and nearby ter
ihory"
The truth of the matter seems to be
that Sur1ter simply cannot fall down.

RYAN OF SEABOARD

LGard Succeeds Him as Gen.
GraI Passenger Agent

Savannah, Oct 31.-It is reported in
Savannah on good authority that
Charles B. Ryan is to be elevated from
the general passenger agency of the
Seaboard Air Line to passenger traffic
manager, a position that is to be Great
ed.
The same report had it that H. S.
Leard division passenger agent with
headquarters at Raleigh, is to be pro-
noted to the position made vacant by
the advancement of Mr.. Ryan. Mr..
Leard is an old official in the Seaboard
service and no surprise was felt at
the report that he was to be chosen for
the general passenger agency.
Heretofore Charles r. Capps, as
vice president in charge of traffic, has
been directly in charge of the passen-
ger department of the road, but with
eir. Ryan as passenger traffic mana
ger, the supervision Of the department
will fall on him. Mr.. Leard will be di-
rectly under Mr.. Ryan.

ELECTION RETURNS AT
ALCAzAR NEXT TUESDAY
Manager Wall Has Secured q
Leased Wire

Election returns will be sandwiched
in with the excellent pictures to be
shown at the opening of The Alcazar,
the new motion picture house, next
Tuesday. The election returns will be
an extra for the patrons of The Alca-
zar, the regular charges being made
there.
1t has, of course, been of great ex-
Iense for Manager Wall to secure a
special leased wire to give the pa
irons of the new theater the election
returns as soon as they can be OBJ
tanned. This, however, has been ar
ranged for, and the operator will have
his instrument in the lobby of The
Alcazar, so that as soon as returns
are received they will be flashed upon
the canvas.
In spite of the fact that this great
expense has been incurred the prices
at The Alcazar will be the usual ones
charged by this management, the same
as that of The Savoy. Manager Wall
confidently expects to have The Alca.
zar ready to be opened Tuesday after.
noon. In case it should not be ready
however, the eection re. lr;,s vii, b;

this popular management will have an
opportunity to get g,oi seat. see tht

BONDS FOR
new BRIDGES
IN COUNTY
ELECTION MAY Be CALLED
Several Old Bridges Must
Soon Be Replaced

Sumter county is facing a bridge sit
uation that must be met in the near
future.
Several of the most important
bridges in the county are rapidly ap-
preaching a condition where they must
be rebuilt
They have been repaired tine after
time, patched and repatched. But
their days of usefulness are about over.
New bridges must replace them.
The question is, shall the new
bridges be of wood, of the expensive
but inferior quality now obtainable,
or shall they be made permanent
structures of concrete or steel.
In the former instance the repair
bill speedy and continuous and con-
stitutes liberal interest on the
amount that would be necessary for
stee or concrete bridges.
The situation as to bridges must
be faced very soon," said Chairman
Frank Sheffield yesterday. "The two
bridges over the Kinchafoonee creek,
connecting Sumter and Terrell coun-
ties, must be replaced. There are two
or three bridges over the Muckalee
that also must come down in the near
future and be succeeded by new struc-
n fp1rN rfa, ~
bridges to the public. Then there are
severa' others that are far from being
in a desirable condition
81 believe the time has come when
We should cease the wasteful policy
of putting up wooden bridges and
build either steel or concrete br dges
The actual saving in the repair bill
would give liberal interest on a bond
issue for bridge building.
MY impression is that bond issue
oi $4,000 should be submitted to the
people for this specific purpose. We
must either have bond issue or heav-
Ter taxes and in my opinion a
bond issue is very much prefer
able. Once we get concrete or steel
bridges the county's expenditures for
the maintenance of bridges will be
materially lessened and tn S saving
viii practically take care of the in
terest on such bonds"
1t is probable that the bridge ques-
tion will be taken up at the next
meeting of the county commissioners.
A bond election may be called as a
result.

Raises 3,lOO Pounds on one
Tenth Of Acre

Miss Dannie Wicker, of Anderson
vile, won first prize in the Girls To-
mato club contest from Macon county.
From her tomato patch of one-tenth of
an acre she produced 3,100 pounds, at
a cost of $8O37, with net profit OF
$-293, making the best individual
record to date in Georgia.
A close contestant was another mem
ber of the same well known Sumter
family, Miss jamie Wicker, with re-
cord of 1851 pounds at cost of $2S.57
and net profit of $6747
Each county makes its reports to
Miss Mary E. Creswell, of the State
Co 'lege of Agriculture at Athens, who
is the state organizer of the Girls
Tomato clubs.
These contests are showing what can
be done in the growing of tomatoes all
over the state, and may lead to the
more general introduction of tomato
growing for canning purposes

NO, BACON
DOESN'T BECOME
VICE-PRESIDENT
STRANGE BETS ARE MADE
There is No Successor Until
Regular Election

In Americus yesterday there was
animated discussion of the question as
to who, if any one, succeeded to the
office of V ce president of the United
States upon the death of Mr.. Sherman
who, by virtue of his office, presided
as president of the senate.
Many contended that Senator A. o.
Bacon, of Georgia had been elected
president pro tenn. of the senate and,
therefore, stood in the attitude of vice
president Many wagers to this eff
feet were made.
| An eminent local authority to whom
the subject was referred declared that,
inasmuch as Senator Bacon had not
really been elected president pro tenn,
though named for that office, that he
was not in any sense vice president.
AS matter of fact there is no reg
ularly eected president pro tenn. OF
the senate. Senator Frye, who held
the office, died just about the time
the split in the republican party be-
came pronounced. The progressive
element in the senate blocked the cleo
tion of regular republican as presi-
dent pro tempore.
The democratic nominee for the po-
sition was Senator Bacon If the DEM
ocrats had been in the majority the
senior senator from Georgia, would,
of course, have been elected. Being in
the minority they stood fast to him, the
regular republicans stood pat by their
man, and the progressives did like
wise.
AS result of this condition no pres
ident pro TEN. was formally elected,
but an arrangement was made where
by Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, republican, and Senator Bacon,
of Georgia, democrat, alternate in
presiding. Just before congress ad-
journed Senator Bacon, under this
truce, was selected to preside when
congress re-convenes on the first Tues
day in December, the Bird instant, to
serve for two weeks, when Senator
Gallinger takes the chair for the next
two weeks.
Even if there were president pro
tenn. of the senate he would not be-
some vice president in any sense of
the word, any more than the speaker
of the house. The line of success on
to the presidency now goes through the
cabinet, in the event of the death
of both president and vice president,
the secretary of state succeeding, then
the secretary of war, and so on down
the line of cabinet officers. This law
of presidential success on, of course,
maintains party control of the admin
istration.
When vice president dies or sue
ceeds to the presidency there is no
successor elected or otherwise chosen
to the Office. The position of vice
president simply remains vacant until
the next regular election. When Col.
Roosevelt succeeded Mckinley the
country ran along without vice pres
ident. And so it will do now until
March next, when Gov Thomas
Marshall, of Indiana. If he lives, will
be inaugurated and take the gavel from
the hands of Senator Bacon or Sena-
tor Gallinger.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION
OF Y. N. C. A. EFFECTED
At Recent Meeting Of the Board Of Directors Of That Or
ganizaOn, Mr. R. P StaCkhOuSG Was Chosen Presi-
dent Of the Directors, Who Are Fifteen in Number
viii Be Closed Temporarily For Maturing of Plans

AT the recent meeting of the boar1
of directors of the Young Mems Christi
ian Association here, a permanent or
ganization of that body was effected.
Including the officers of the board
and all the members the new board OF
directors will number fifteen.
The officers chosen for the board
are Mr.. R. P. Stackhouse. president;
Mr.. c. c. Hawkins, vice president; DIR.
C. p Davis, secretary, and Mr.. Ed
Sheffield, treasurer. The other mem
bers of the board of directors are
Messrs. C. l.. Ansley, W. M. Crook, r.
L McMath, N. NJ Dud 'ey, T. C. Till
man, L. A. Morgan, George Oliver, L.
G. Council, J. A. Davenport, w. Il.
Brown and C. c. Youmans.
The ministers of the city we're nam
ed as honorary members of the board
of directors.
State Secretary j. V. Read, of At
lanta, was present at the meet ng and
gave his aid in the permanent organi-
zation of the local branch of the Young
Mems Christian Association. After the
officers of the association had been
named the affairs of the organization
were taken up and discussed as fully
as the tine allowed. 1t was decided
that immediate action in the manage
ment of the affairs of the association
would be desirable For this reason
the building here will be closed tempo
rarily.
The idea of the board of directors in
closing the building is to afford time
for the affairs of the organization to
be gotten into such shape that the
building may very soon be re-openei
under more favorable circumstances.
and at that time permanently No date
was fixed for the reopen ng of the
building, but this will be announced
later after a meeting of the executive
committee of the board of directors is
held either tonight or very soon.
The executive committee of the board
OF directors plans to pay off the debt
that encumbers the organizat on. This
will be consummated in the most avail
able manner. To raise a of the money
at once is considered by the members
of the board as plan that is hardly
feasible or advisable. A gradual les
sening of the total indebtedness by tha
meeting of the obligations as they
become due will likely be the plan
adopted
Since the permanent organization Of
the association has been effected. the
work of directly managing the affairs
of the body will devolve very largely
upon the executive committee Of the
board of directors. The forthcoming
meeting of these members of the
board will have an important bearing
upon the status of the affairs Of the
local association.
