LADDIES

NOT DIsMAYED BY DEFEAT
viii Go After Third Game
All the Harder

Notwithstanding the fact that they
lost to Columbus last Saturday after
noon the members of the High
School eleven are in no manner dis
mayed by the two successive defeats
that have come to them. They are
are all the more determined to win
in the next game.
1t was a rather bitter dose for the
youngsters to be downed the second
,Slme by Columbus and by even more
decisive score than in the first game,
but they took their medicine like men.
Now they are out to win the next
game that is to he played.
The High School has an excellent
team, one that has been we'll drill ed
and trained. Coach Reeve has done
some good work with the youngsters,
as is shown by the stand they have
made against seasoned players. The
next games played should serve to
show more clearly than ever how
much the members of the team have
profited by their training. Regular
practice will be maintained and games
will be played with other teams until
the close of the season.

DEMOCRAT

II Is the Duty Of Every Demo.
Graf to Vote

AS a final stimulus to all who are
democrats, the chairman of the county
democratic executive committee, Judge
w. NJ Harper, and the members Of
the committee urge every democrat to
clinch the victory already won, by go
ing to the polls today and casting his
vote for the democratic candidates.
Interest in the election in Sumter
county seems to be good in view of
the fact that the county and state are
Overwhelmingly democratic. The only
thing in which democrats may make
a mistake is in not going to the polls
to cast their ballots, as every ballot is
needed, Notwithstanding the fact that
the democratic candidates would un-
der any circumstances gain victory
Though there may be scattering
votes for Taft and Roosevelt, it
would seem that the democratic candi-
dates will be so far in the lead here
tonight when the votes are counted

TO MEET
IN AMERICUS
in JANUARY
TO DISCUSS EVANGELISM
Georgia Synod Is Held in
Eastman This Week

Rev. J. W. Stokes, of the Presby-
terian church.. will leave this morn
ing for Eastman to attend the Synod
of Georgia, which convenes in that
town today, it's sessions running un-
til FIR day afternoon. MIR. L. P. Cart
ner was chosen as representative from
the Americus church, with Mr.. w. E.
Brown as alternate, and one of
them will also probably attend the
Synod.
Evangelism will give the keynote to
the Synod's proceedings, the Presby-
terian church in Georgia, in common
with the church throughout the coun-
try, having, as it were, re-awakened
its zeal for evangelistic work. Rev,
DR.. r. o. Finn is down on the pro-
gram for two addresses on this line.
The establishment of the Ogle-
thorpe University will also be a topic
Of great interest Rev. DR.. Thornwell
Jacobs delivering an address on that
subject and also one on the Thorn
well orphanage. Other addresses on
different topics give varied and
universally interesting program.
Referring to the evangelistic spirit
the church is encouraging among its
members individually, it is of especial
interest to note that the Macon Pres
bytery, embracing some 45 churches,
will have convention of evangelism
and finance at the Americus church
on January ID and Is. In addition to
the pastors of the various churches
in the presbytery, there will be a
number of active laymen and women
in attendance. This convention is ex-
pected to be a source of inspiration
to personal endeavor and to give a
decided stimulus to the church work
generally in this section.

TRADE WAS
VERY BRISK
YESTERDAY
THE OUTLOOK is NOW GOOD
Merchants Faces Begin TO
Wear a Smile

Yesterday was hummer" in o.
cal trade circles The genuine win
try snap to the air during the early
hours, moderated somewhat in the lat
ter part of the day, coupled with a
glorious sunshine, brought out the
crowds.
The morning shopping trains came
in well fiji ed with prospective buyers
and in the afternoon the local shop
pers turned out in force.
From 10 a. m. until the stores clos
ed at p M, there was good, steady
business doing generally, the mar
chants and their clerks at times be-
ing pushed to meet the demands of
the trade. All in all it was one of the
very best trading days seen since fall
opened AS the probable harbinger of
many other good selling days, it was
more than We come to the retail stores,
many of which had suffered more or
less from the unsettled weather here
tof0re
The outlook now, with cotton going
up and considerable receipts reported
during the remainder of the month, is
for persistent good trade locally.
Smiles are beginning to take the place
of frowns and there are not many
merchants who DO not anticipate the
best fall and winter trade they have
ever enjoyed, if the weather remains
settled and seasonable.

NOT WORRIED
BY HIGH COST
Of EXISTENCE
LESSON In RIGHT FARMING
Mr.. Edwards is q Potato
Grower of Merit

No worry about the high cost OF
living is coming to Mr.. M. N. Edwards,
especially since he has harvested the
potatoes from an acre which he plant
ed for the purpose of practical dem
onstration
These potatoes were planted about
the first of July and harvested only
few days ago. Mr. Edwards made SIS
from the potatoes he grew on this acre
of land. This is the gross profit, but,
as he pointed out, he plowed the po-
tatoes only three times and hoed them
twice, so that all the work on them
cost only about SO or $4, which gives
him nearly all the profit as net gain.
Mr.. Edwards did not think that he
had done anything especially good in
the way of growing potatoes until he
brought some of his tubers to town
last week Secretary Patterson, of the
Board of Trade, caught a glimpse of
them, whereupon he had photograph
made of the display of about a bushel
in a basket These potatoes as shown
in the picture are beauties, as they
are remarkably regular in size and
shape. No unusually large ones are
found, but in this very particu ar they
rank especially high, as they are
nearly all uniform in size. With prac-
tically no rats" found among them
and but very few remarkably large
ones, Mr.. Edwards has produced such
a profitable crop as every farmer
might well emulate.
