HARVESTING
Of OATS Will
Soon BEGIN
TO REPLACE The HAY USED
Farmers viii Welcome First
Grain Crop

Within two weeks the farmers If
Sumter will begin harvesting oats, and
just now there is promise of one If
the best crops grown here in recent
years. While the acreage is not so
large as last year the seasons have
been favorable and an abundant yield
is promised.
The recent rain, which was quite
general in the county, was all re-
CURED to put the oat crop upon the
safe side. Harvesting will begin the
latter part of next week, and home
raised oats will at once take the place
of western hay, costing $35 per ton,
the highest price ever reached by that
product here.
The land upon which oats are now
growing WILL very generally, be plant
ed at once in peas for a crop of pea
vine hay, and yield of ton per acre
will aid materially in the reduction
of forage bills on the farm.

GENERAL MCLEOD RETURNS

Attired in the full uniform of q
Confederate brigadier-general, Col.
R. Don Mcleod, of the First Florida
Brigade, U. C. ", was greeted yes
terday by friends in Americas, his
boyhood home. He attended the re-
cent reunion at Macon and has since
been with friends in this section.
Col. Mcleod served through the
war with the Third Georgia regimen,
under General Hood, returning in la
ter years to Americas. During several
years he welded the pen on weekly
papers in South Georgia.
He recalls the fact that as boy Of
u or Is years he belonged to a
company in Americus, the Dixie Vol
unteers. The lads were too young to
be mustered into the service, despite
their entreaties to be sent to the front.
Despairing. of getting an opportun-
ity to fight, young Mcleod went to
Hawkinsville and enlisted.
He soon got all of the war that he
wanted, but was a gallant soldier to
the day at Appomattox. For several
years, since leaving Americas, he has
resided in Florida.

STRIPPING WATTS
RETIREMENT OF
GOV. BROWN
BEFORE ASKING FOR PARDON
No Hope Of CIGmGnCy From
Governor Brown

Atlanta, May Lett may be ac-
cepted as final that Thomas J. Strip
ling, serving a life sentence in he
state penitentiary for murder and
whose case attracted much attention
because he served as chief of police
of Danville, Va, for ten years after
he had been convicted and before he
was arrested and returned to the
Georgia penitentiary, has no hope OF
clemency during the administration Of
Gov. Joseph M. Brown.
Gov. Browns administration will
last until about July 1, 1913. His sue
cessor will come in without having
taken any stand on the STRIPPING case,
and Stripping may then try it again,
but for the present there is no use.
This statement is based on the fact
that it has been tried without sue
cess. Recently a number of gentle
men from Southwest Georgia called
on Gov. Brown and tried to induce
HIM to reopen the STRIPPING case
Among them was Hon. Jesse Walters,
of Albany, who has just been elected
solicitor of the city court of Albany,
position for which his son, now de-
ceased, was a candidate, and which
his son held
Gov. Brown heard them through,
but at the conclusion of the confer
ence politely but emphatically declin-
ed to reopen the STRIPPING case. The
matter was taken up with the gov
ernor direct and not with the prison
commission, for that body had already
expressed itself favorably to clemen-
cy in the case. Stripling's wife and
children are said to be in quite needy
and this fact among
others, was brought to bear in the eff
fort to secure clemency. -.
The STRIPPING case excited wide
spread sympathy as the result of
reports at the time he was
brought back from Danville, thirteen
years after his conviction for murder
in Harris county, where he was ten
fenced to life Imprisonment and es-
capped from Jail just before he began
the service of his sentence His crime
consisted of shooting a neighbor in
the back through an open window at
night, and the justification offered at
the trial was an alleged insult to his
kife.

ARE PREACHING FOR
"HOME INDUSTRY"
Keep Money at Home and
PatrORizG Home Industries

Atlanta, May 16.-Bankers now
handling big loans for southern clients
are witnessing again the curious phe
nomenon of seeing farmers and mer-
chants paying interest to get back in
to southern circulation the very money
which they themselves sent north and
east in insurance premiums and other
payments on protection and invest
ments which might just as easily have
been placed right in the south.
Financiers in Atlanta and through
out the southern states generally are
Analysing a situation which seems
have only one remedy, and that a
practical putting into effect of the eco
nomic principle of "patronizing home
industry"
Home industry" has been preach
ed in the south for many years. South
ern merchants and business men are
first to help put it into effect where
small deals and retail business is
concerned. Then they and the general
public turn around and go back on the
principle in it's larger sense by send
ing their payments on big premiums
and investments north.
Fire insurance and life insurance
premiums alone are sent north in
sums running to the millions of dol
lars, though both branches of insur-
ance ale represented in the south by
southern companies whose strength
and reliability are unquestiOned in the
financial world.
According to those who have inves-
tigated conditions, it is only through
the strange unwillingness of some
southerners to believe in their wn
south that this steady stream Of
money continues to flow north and
east.
| But they say there is one consola-
ton; the stream is growing proper
tionately smaller every year as the
southern companies continue to broad
en-. In the fire insurance field par
ticularly wonderful development has
been noted in the south in the past
few years. Fire insurance officials IN
Atlanta have been recently quoted as
declaring that the leading southern
companies ranked with the strongest
of their kind anywhere in the world
