GOOD ROADS INCREASED
THE VALUE OF HIS LAND
Mr. English Gained Good Returns on His Investmen
$1,000 Sale Made Yesterday

Eleven thousand and eighty-one dol
lars was the excellent price paid yes
terday in the sale by Mr.. w. l.. Eng
lish, of Americus, of single lot of
land 282 1-2 acres owned by himself
and situated just acress the Sumter
Terrell line in the latter county, and
considered one of the best small
farms in this section.
A dozen years ago Mr. English
bought this land for $4,000, or SO
per acre, as an investment, and the
profit of $9,O81 would indicate that
it was a good one. There are not
improvements upon the farm except
three ordinary tenant houses for ne
gro laborers, but the land is highly
productive. Then, too, as Mr. Eng
lish states, good roads served to boost
the price. A fine graded highway has
been constructed through the farm,
and this good road added the values
to the land.
Good roads have doubled and treb-
led the value of every farm in this
section" said Mr.. English. This land
which have just sold for $11 ,Os1 is
really no better now than when ]
bought it several years ago, but good

Information received yesterday from
Mr.. E. A. Hawkins was most encour-
aging, in view of his recent continued
serious illness in Atlanta. He is
much stronger it is said, and the at

treatment given him.
Mr.. Hawkins will return to Ameri-

months duration. That he is i'm

A SUCCESSFUL MEETING
AT BIG BETHEL CHURCH
Many AccessiOns to The Church Mem.
bership Reported.

Rev. J. J. Chisholm, pastor of Big
Bethel Baptist church (colored) re-
ports many accessions to the church
since the beginning of the revival
which is now in progress at that
church. The number up to yesterday
wac given in as 50, while many others
are expected to join before the end
of the services, which will last until
next Sunday.
On the fourth Sunday in the month.
which is May 26th, next Sunday, the
baptismal exercisessof the church will
be- conducted at Muckalee creek. AT
that time all the recent converts will
be baptized, and tits likely that no
fewer than half hundred will be
among the number, while it is even
likely that there will be more. Rev.
Chisholm has proved very successful
as a pastor of the church and is gen.
orally esteemed among his own peo-
pie and his white friends.

the program were all pleasing, espe-

ceptional charm and appeal Among
the most popular and best received of
all were the three delicate lyrics, "The
Dearest Place, IF l Were You" and
THE Elfman," all compositions of Mr..
Wells himself.
The rhythm and swing of the Boat
Song won the audience from the
start, and there was probably no more
popular number on the program than
this, which Mr.. Wells sang with rarn
voice and expression Shelley's lyric

MIR. WELLS PLEASED LARGE
AUDIENCE LAST EVENING
In Recital That Was Thoroughly Enjoyable to All Who
Attended-Last Artist Recital This Season Was
Most Distinct Success

In a program that was varied and
pleasing in every feature, Mr.. John
Barnes Wells delighted last evening
the largest audience that has assem-
bled at the Bell music studio to at
tend any of the series of artist re-
citals that have been given there this
season.
Rare insight was evidenced in the
selection of the various numbers that
made up the program, and it would
have been difficult to have chosen a
number of songs that would have
pleased the audience better or would
have been better interpreted by the
artist. In this particular Mr.. Wells
showed in the beginning that he was
in sympathy with his audience.
The blending of dramatic and lyri-
cal numbers, with larger number of
the latter than the former, which eX-
hibited the qualities of the singers
voice in most impressive manner,
helped to make the program one of
the widest appeal Though possessed
of a voice that has both the dra-
matte qualities and the volume re-
ouisite for dramatic work, Mr.. Wells
preferred to interpret for the mos'
part lighter lyrics of delicate appeal
the character of songs that best suit
his voice.

TO HAVE NATIVE
AS GOVERNOR
Kansas Has Never Had Such
as Executive

Topeka, Kans., May 2O.-For the
first time in it's history, the next gov
ernor of Kansas will be a native son.
This is, of course, providing the state
does not turn political fiip-fop,
which is not probable, and elect a
democratic governor. The race on the
republican side has simmered down
to Arthur Capper, of Topeka, and
Frank Ryan, of Leavenworth, both
comparatively young men and botn
born in Kansas
Capper was born in Garnett in 1865,
and Ryan was born in Leavenworth
in 1868. Both are self-made men and
Ryan still lives in the house in which
he was born.
Capper earned his way through
school, and Ryan, one of fan@y of

ten and the only republican in the lot,
began his career as telegraph mes
senger boy and became telegrapher.
Capper learned the printing trade and
now besides owning the Topeka Capt.
tai, publishes seven weekly papers.
Capper has never held state office,
while Ryan, who is said to be the best
campaAgner in the state, was elected
district clerk of Leavenworth three
times and has been state railroad
commissioner for the last six years.
