SUMTER IS STILL
BEHIND IN ITS
CROP PLANTING
rain DELAYS FARM WORK
Corn and Cotton Are Being
RGpIaRtGd

Farmers coming to Americus yes
terday reported some additional in.
jury to the crops from the heavy rain
Saturday night, which not only wash
ed the lands, but will necessitate
some replanting of both corn and cot
ton. According to the statements OF
the farmers the outlook for big crops
in this section is poor this year, the
recent heavy rains having given
things black eye,
Every crop is "in the grass" and
many of them SO much so that in
stead of trying to get 1t out some OF
the farmers have plowed up their
whole corn crops and are planting
them over again. Then, too, much OF
the land is in bad fix, as where il
is rolling the hills are badly washed
and where it is low it is soft AMI
boggy.
Of course all of this state of things
will affect the cotton acreage and ii
will be cut even smaller than was
thought some weeks ago.
There will be maAy fields that were
planted in it last year that will not
even be broken up this year. There
will be lots of sweet potatoes made
however, the farmers say, so at least
there will be eaters" to go with the
Georgia possum this fall
The one bright spot in this cror
outlook, besides the potato crop, is the
oat crop, which is one of the finest
grown in this county in long time
1t is just about made, too, so there
seems nothing to give it setback as
it is too late for the rust even tc
catch it.

Of unusual merit and generally ap-
preciated was the Shakespearean re-
cital given last evening at the Hig1

Williams, and the appreciation given
the work of Mr.. Williams was justly
merited
Mr.. Williams is to appear again
this evening in the second of the se-
ries of recitals which he was engaged
to appear in here. He is an artist.
and the work that he is doing in pre-
senting Shakespeare in this popular
and thoroughly artistic manner is
bringing him much praise and COM
mendation.
The prices for the performances
are popular, as a general admission
fee of only 35 cents for adults is ask
ed. while school children are admitted
for 25 cents. 1t is hoped that very
large attendance will greet Mr.. Will
liams this evening, as the proceeds
of the performance above expenses
will be given to the. High school
fund.

STOCK MARKET
On SAME PAR
AS The TURF
DECLARES METHODIST BISHOP
Favor Leaving Pleasures to
the Conscience

Here is the report of the twenty
four Bishops of the Northern Metho-
dist Church dealing with the question
of amusements and recreations, a re-
port now receiving wide discussion:
The American people are too far
advanced longer to be restricted by
church rules as to what their amuse-
ments shall be. The rule prohibiting
dancing, card playing, gambling and
going to theatres, circues and horse
races therefore should be abolished,
is the gist of the report on amuse-
ments.
In recommending this radical
change, however, the "a active bish-
ops stipulated that the church should
not be Indifferent on these subjects,
but that the people should be left to
judge for themselves what is right OF
wrong in amusements, having before
them only the injunction of John
Wesley, which forbids "the taking OF
such diversions as cannot be taken in
the name of the Lord Jesus"
The portion of the adress on amuse-
ments reads:
"We should joyfully acclaim the day
when every Christian would abstain
from the amusements which have
been prohibited, but we can't repress
our conviction that Wesley dealt more
wisely with the danger.
THE bishops, therefore, recommend
a return to the consistent treatment
of the subject by Wesley and the
more earnestly because we are deal
ing with the American people and the
intelligence of the twentieth century
"As church we cannot approve
dancing and theatregoing. These are
questionable amusements. To us, as
to several of our sister churches,
they who justify these amusements
as consistent with the spiritual life
seem to amnifest a deplorable lack of
spiritual perception.
Again we stand unitedly against
gambling and we recognize clearly
that it is the same sin in Wall street
that it is in the lowest resort, but we
have never ventured legislatively to
fix the point where the racetrack
gambler, passing from the turf to the
stock market, becomes a respectable
business man, eligible to church
membership and the chairman of the
board of trustees.
"In our absolute helplessness be-
fore this question we must continue
to allow the world to suspect that
the stake and the more reckless Of
public veal the gain the less vicious
the crime, provided the winner pays
tithes to religion or benevolence."

ton of the Texas Confederate reunion
special en- route to Macon, Ca, was
wrecked at Gums Mill on the New

Five bodies were brought to Hat

GOLD OUTPUT
GREATER Than
EVER BEFORE
FOUR BILLIONS In 10 YEARS
Partly Accounts, II Is Said,
For High Prices

The report of the Director of the
Mint gives the worlds production of
gold during II years ending with
1910 as $4,037, 100000, a good deal
more than double the aggregate pro-
duction during the 10 previous years,
1890 to 1899, inclusive.
Counting a $40 gold piece as one
ounce avordupois, the gold mined in
the last II years would require a
train of $50 freight cors to transport
it, each car carrying $4,000 pounds. 1t
would make a train a good deal over
mile in length.
The banks and Treasury of the
United States absorbed $726,000,000 of
this treasure, while all the banks of
issue in Europe got 1858, 100000.
Nearly one-fourth of the whole pro-
duction was consumed in industries
and not used for money and about
one-third of the whole amount used
in the industries was used in the
United States.
To what extent the addition or
more than $3,OOO,OOO,OOO to the worlds
gold currency has affected prices Is
matter of opinion When Dr. John
son was told that eggs could be
bought in the Highlands of Scotland
for a penny a dozen he observed
that this did not prove that eggs were
plentiful but that pennies were
scarce. The more valuable money is
the less of it is required to buy a
given staple product. The more
abundant and cheaper money is the
higher prices are. Many of the read
ers of The Sun can remember how
enormously high prices were down
South in Confederate money. The
value of gold is measured by the
amount of labor it requires to find
or produce it. In recent years inn
proved machinery and scientific meth
ods have reduced the cost of produc-
ing gold and to that extent it is less
valuable.

TRAPPED NEGRO ASKING
FOR CAMPAIGN "DOUGH.'

Atlanta May 6.-The truth has just
been learned here of the split and
row between Postmaster Hugh Mckee
of Atlanta, and Henry Lincoln John
son. the negro registrar of deeds at
Washington, who is also prominent
on the Georgia republican presiden-
tial delegation.
1t is charged that Johnson called
up Postmaster Mckee and suggested
to him the advisability of contribut-
ing 1000 to the administration cam
paign fund.
Mckee, it is said, told Johnson to
come to his office in the postoffice
building. In the meantime Mr.. Nc
Kee explained the situation to George
S. Donnell, local civil service com
missioner, and Mr.. Donnell hid him
self in closet in McKee's office.
The negro came and renewed tn
request for a $1,000 campaign fund
Donnell Immediately had charge
preferred against Johnson for solicit
ing campaign funds from a fedora
official in a federal Office building
These charges are now pending /

Needless to say, MsKee's action ha
aroused the most extreme bitterness
among Johnson's supporters. 1t
