TO STOCK OUR
STREAMS With
VARIOUS Fish
is PROMISE OF UNCLE sam
Shipment Of Black Bass
Early in Spring

Americus anglers will be greatly in
terested in the information coming
from the Bureau of Fisheries at Wash
ington to the effect that the streams
of Sumter county are to be stocked
with fish by the national governemnt
This information is conveyed in a
letter to Game Warden w. T. McMath.
who recently wrote the department Of
commerce and labor to that end.
1t is suggested by the commissioner
in charge that black bass Ga species
of trout) is best suited to the waters
here, and shipment of the youTg
fish will be made to Game Warden
McMath at an early date.
The black bass is one of the finest
species of the trout family and much
sought by anglers. The young fish
sent here will be carefully protected
ami will multiply rapidly
1t has been many years since the
fisheries department has given atten-
ton to stocking the streams here, and
the successful effort of Warden Nc
Math to this end is appreciated About
the only species sent here in recent
yars is the German carp, a fish hot
generally esteemed for the table n
comparison it'll the species native to
these waters.
Another important subject discuss
ed by Warden McMath is that regard
ing the dam constructed across Muck
alec creek at Albany by the light and
power company there. This dam en-
tirely obstructs the stream and pre-
vents fish coming up from Rlint riv-
er, as in former years 1t is said that
an appeal will be made to the gov
ernment to require the Albany COM
pany to construct what is known as a
fish ladder" which permits the fish to-
continue upstream beyond the dam,
and with no detriment to the compa-
ny's property
The fish laws will be rigidly en-
forced in Sumter this year, and soon
the streams, now almost depleted, will
be we'll stocked with fish again.

been made in the City court by Judg;
Hixon in disposing of the numerous

the session adjourns and up to date
he has made rapid progress in this
phase of the work, large number OF
both criminal and civil cases having
already been disposed Of The COM

Every domestic maiden in Americus

by entering the contest which the "a

inaugurated for the purpose of deter
mining what young lady in Americus

This is a time when the skill pos
sessed in this line of the culinary art
will bring rich rewards to the one who
is successful, as pair of shoes and
many other desirable prizes have
been offered to the one who is sue
cessful But this is only one part OF
the rewards that are to be gained
The name of the young lady who
bakes the best cake will be known
far and wide throughout this section,
as it will not only be published in

ROOSEVELT IS
LOOMING LARGE
AS CANDIDATE
CHAMPIONED BY GLASSCOCK
Thinks Roosevelt Delegates
Should Be Nominated

Charleston, w. Va, January 19.-
Governor w. E. Glasscock, of West
Virginia, issued a statement last
night in which he declares that care
full canvass of the political situation
in West Virginia has convinced him
that the people of the state are over
whelmingly for Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt for the republican presi-
Dental nomination and he calls upon
the people to elect delegates to the
national convention who will vote for
his nomination.
Governor Glasscock says in part:
81 believe it is generally understood
that l have very kindly feeling for
President Taft, but careful canvass
of the situation has thoroughly con-
vinced me that an overwhelming ma
jority of the republicans of West Vir-
ginia are for Roosevelt.
q am certain that Roosevelt will
not seek the nomination or work for
it in any way, directly or indirectly,
and l believe he would not accept it
if it came as the result of intrigue
for his personal benefit. But if it
comes to him as the result of a gen.
uine popular movement because the
people wan him to do a job for the
people as a whole, because the people
as a whole believe he is the best man
to do that job, then l am sure he will
accept.
So far as l am personally concern
ed. l am in hearty accord with the
sentiment of Mr.. Parker of West Viz
ginia for the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt.

there shall never be outstanding bonds
exceeding 100000.
OF the bonds 100000 are to be held
by the trustee to exchange for an
equal amount in par value of the
bonds of the Americus Railway and
Light Company.
$4,000 of bonds, on the satisfaction
of the said mortgage of the Americus
Railway and Light Company, shall
be certified by the trustee and shall
be delivered to or upon the order of
the treasurer of the company.
The remaining $4,000 of bonds are
to be delivered by the trustee only
to pay for or to reimburse the COM
pany for the expenditures made for
extensions, betterments and improve
ments of the mortgaged property or
for the acquisition of new property.
Acting for the railroad commission,
Commissioner Hillyer advised the
company as follows;
1T would seem that contemplated
issue of stock by petitioning compa-
ny would require the approval of the
railroad commission equally with the
bond issue mentioned"
1t is also pointed out that the item
of $4,000 of bonds to be certified
and delivered to order of the treas
urer of the company is regarded by
the commission as provision for a
class of expenses usually and lawfully
provided for out of current income,
rather than by an issue of bonds.
Commissioner Hillyer also directs at
tention to the fact that the petition
of the company does not express the
readiness of the company to make re-
ports of actings and doings as the
commission may require. The sug-
gestion is made that amendments are
needed to the petition to cover these
features.
The mayor brought back with him 9
copy of the last annual return for
taxation of the company showing a
gross return to the state for taxation
by the company of 100000. Corpora
tions of this class make their returns
to the state and not to the city. The
state collects the full taxes and then
sends he city a check for its proper
ton. The assessments are accepted

INSANITY GROWING APACE
ON NATIONAL POPULATION
So Says Census Bureaus
Statistics

Washington, January 19.-Insanity
in the United States is increasing
twice as fast as the population ac-
cording to figures gathered by
federal government in a special in
quiry through the census bureau. That
is to say, while the population of the
country grew II per cent. in the five
years from 1904 to 1910, the popula-
ton in insane hospitals rose about %
per cent. AS to the number of cases
of insanity not resultin in commit
ments to hospitals the census has no
data.
Our figures" says Director d.
rand, afford a striking indication Of
the prevalence of insanity, if not an
exact measure of it. 1t is somewhat
startling to reflect that in the 1877 ,454
patients confined in hospitals for the
insane make up a population larger
than that of the city of Columbus,
Ohio"
The state which, in proportion 10
| its population, had the largest number
| of insane reported in institutions on
January 1, 1910, was Massachusetts,,
with 344.6 per 100000 population. New
York, however, had almost the same
proportion, namely 3491 per 100000
population
There is no doubt, Mr.. Durand says
that in these states better provision
is made for the care of insane in in
stitutions than in most of the other
states. The insane confined in insti-
tutions in any state are by no means
drawn exclusively from the popula-
ton of that state. The institutions
in Massachusetts,, especially the pri-
vate institutions, receive many insane
patients from other New England
states, and the institutions in New
York similarly receive many patient.
from outside that state.
The District of Columbia, which fal
outranks both New York and Massa
: chusetts in the proportion of mum
Der of insane persons in stitutions

: to those of city than those Of state
and is the location Of the governmen
