Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Volunteers To Save England
By HOWARD VALENTINE.

TT URRAHl Athletic England is

- Doyle is the Sherlock Holmes
who will solve the mystery of Eng
lands apparent decadence in sport, and
the first thing that he wants the Brit
ish public to do is to put up $685.
in cold cash. Sir Arthur has taken the
lead in the movement for preparing
Britain for 1916 and. though his views
are being ridiculed by the athletic
writer's in the tight little isle, his
scheme is not such a bad one. Here
is what Sir Arthur suggests in the
London Times:
Il am most keen to do anything
which will help to put the flag on top
at Berlin We cannot afford to waste
energy, but must centralize and all pull
together. I think all the proposals in
your schedule are excellent. But we
want money, and lots of it. I pro-
pose to follow up my first letter by a
second one presently, appealing for
funds on a large scale. We want
central fund of f25, 900, carefully and
economically administered. With
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-09-04

enough money, what I would suggest
as an addition to your schedule would
be an annual or even biannual Olym-
pics in this country alternately in Lon
don and in the provinces, with all the
Olympic events and good prizes. At
the end of four years we should know
just what we had. That is very es-
sentiaI.
ALSO. to have the provision for
training quarters for six weeks before
the games near London, and for careful
housing of the athletes and their
supervision during the sports. The
trouble Of amateur trainers is that
you can hardly expect them to be al
ways with their men, as a professional
would be. I think that for the last
three months we should have the best
professionals that money could buy.
Then the colonies should be approached
and also the foreign Olympic author
ities-on the subject of a British en-
pire team Finally, a great effort
should be made to let nothing go by
default, and tennis players, yachtsmen,
etc, should be approached long before

strongly that it was an occasion for a

A BUSY WEEK
WAS SPENT BY
The FARMERS

One whole week of good weather,
just ended, has afforded farmers here
an opportunitylof catching up, to some
extent, with planting the crops, il
which they are so far behind
Corn planting was the order of the
week down on the farm, and whera
the ground was sufficiently dry to be
ploughed this important crop has re-
ceived attention, although large areas
remain to be planted. Owing to the
continued wet weather the fields have
not been broken up as thoroughly as
is generally done here, but the anx-
iety to get the seed planted has in
duced many planters to proceed as
best they could, under the adverse cir
cumstances.
Cotton planting in Sumter will be-
gin this week, If weather conditions
permit, although land preparation has
not progressed to a great extent in
that direction.

Mr.. Carter Lived to a Ripe
Old Age
Following an illness extending over

Following an illness extending over
a period of many months, Mr.. L. H.
Carter an aged and esteemed citizen
of Americus, passed away yesterday
afternoon at his residence on Rees
Park. In view of his precarious con-
dition for some time past the death of
this venerable citizen was not unex-
pected.
MIR. Carter had almost reached the
age of four score years, being in his
10Th year, and the greater part of his
long life was spent in Americus en-
gagged in educational work as teach
er in the schools here many years ago.
Born in Mecklenburg county, Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Carter came to Americus
'.prior to the civil war. With the Sum-
ter Light Guards he served through
the four years of civil strife, and at
the close of hostilities took up here
the work of teacher in the old Fur
low Masonic Female College, and af-
terwards in other local schools.
A quiet, unassuming, unobtrusive
gentleman, Mr.. Carter was generally
esteemed and many are there who will
regret the passing of this good man.
His aged wife died several years ago.
The funeral services, conducted by
Rev ]. w. Stokes. pastor of the Pres
byterian church, assisted by Rev. o.
B. Chester, pastor of the First Meth
odist church, will be held this af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock from his late
residence. The pallbearers will be
Messrs. w. d. Moreland, Thomas B.
| Hooks, ]. d. Hooks, Harry Mcleod
Judson Hill and T. F. Gatewood, Jr.
| Friends of the deceased and of Mr.
and Mrs. William NJ. Jones are re-
spectfully invited to attend.

CLIPPING HAIR SURE
SIGN OF SPRING

Atlanta, March 23.-Atlanta has a
new way to tell when the spring has
come. Some folks say it is better than
the ground hog way, for nobody ever
really sees a ground hog in the spring
at all.
The new way is to watch when men
begin to nave the clippers put to
their hair. According to the BARRIERS,
when people begin to come in to get
their hair clipped short, it is an in
fallible sign that spring is here to
stay.
Clippers were busy in Atlanta this
morning, and by that token some peo-
pie declare that there will be no more
cold weather in Georgia this seoson.

There are but few, if any, public
