LOCAL MERCHANTS HAPPY
SGabOard Agent Returned the
Articles

Two well pleased Americus mer-
chants yesterday were Mr.. C. A.
Fricker, of James Fricker & Bro, jew

dealer in firearms, when Special

way restored to them valuable arti-

Chatham county chaingang.
Mr.. Fricker recovered valuable

SPRAYING TO
KILL PESTS OF
The PEACH
time HERE TO Fight Them
Brown Hot, SCdb, CurCuIlOD
Arch Enemies

The peach grower who is looking
forward to a profitable year has two
important diseases and an insect 70
contend with. They are the brown
rot and the peach scab and curcu-
lio.
What is brown rot? 1t is a fungus
disease or plant parasite which at
tacks the peach, plum and cherry to
such an extent as to lessen the mer-
chantable production as much as Is
per cent. 1t is also found growing
,, on the apple and pear, but does very
little damage to these fruits.
The disease may begin its destruc-
ton with the blossom and tender
twigs, but is most disastrous during
the warm days of summer when the
fruits are developing toward matur-
ity. 1t appears as a small brown spot
which enlarges rapidly, soon involv-
ing the entire peach. The appearance
of the peach at this stage is that of
decayed fruit, with the skin broken
| but not sunken and covered with
small grayish tufts of spor ebearing
threads. This grayish mold is the
! fungus growth; ready to scatter the
disease to the wind to be carried from
tree to tree and orchard to orchard.
The peach scab is another fungus
disease which has annually demanded
at least 10 per cent of the Georgia
peach crop. Although not as destruc-
tive as the brown rot, the scab is of
sufficient Importance to make unmer-
chantable entire crops during favor
able seasons for its development. Soo-
ty spots, ranging from an olive to a
dark brown in color, appear on one
side of the fruit The spots are small
in size, but usually SO numerous as
to give the appearance of a splash OF
freckles all running together, sur
rounded by some more freckles. The
scab not only disfigures the fruit,
but dwarfs and often causes it to fall
prematurely. Well developed scar
growth causes cracking to take place
through the infected portion. The
wormy peaches found so plentiful in
many orchards are a serious CONNER
cial menace. This worm is the larva
stage of the plum curculio, snouI
beetle. The beetle itself, itself, be-
sides laying the eggs which hatch
into worms, eats the peach, thereb'
puncturing the skin and allowing q
more rapid development of the brown
rot.
The following sprayings if applied
carefully have been demonstrated tt
keep to minimum the losses from
the above diseases and insect:

SUMTER ADVERT RTISING CLUB
MAY SOON BE ORGANIZED
Local Business Men are Actively Interested in the Es
tablishment of the Club

enable clean cut campaign of a wide
scope in farm and industrial papers,
with a capable man in charge prepar-
ing the advertising, using follow-up
system and keeping in constant touch
with every one who shows an interest
and inclination to come this way i'll
search of home.
Inside of the first year it is believ-
ed the movement could be started to-
ward Sumter and increased in volume
with each succeeding year. Thousands
and tens of thousands are looking
toward the South as the place of fu-
ture residence, and the advertising
campaign proposed, conducted scien-
tifically and persistently, would mean
the addition of very desirable class
of citizens.
A list of probably one to two hun
dred prominent men of all parts Uf
the county will be made up soon and
invitations extended to them to hold
a preliminary meeting to consider the
matter. District meetings would later
be held at different points in the
county. If the interest needed can be
aroused the Sumter County Advertis
ing Club will be launched with every
prospect of it's proving great factor
in the development of every part OF
the county.

Price OF SUGAR is
GOING UP AGAIN

With the fruit season and the Pc
riod for iced tea at hand, Americus
housekeepers are up against it in the
airy fight of the sugar market, which
continues a daily rapid advance. Yes
terday the market for this commod.
ity went up twenty points higher, and
the advance is likely to continue with
the increased demand.
Local grecers now sell only IL 10
IL 1-2 pounds for dollar, and thu
package is a little one. All other ar
ticles that SO upon the table are go
ing higher in price, and the only hope
of relief is in the coming of the wa
termelon crop and the blackberry
harvest, which promises to be abun-
dant and filing.

An advertising club for Sumter
county, an agency combining in its
membership all of the progressive men
of the county, is proposed
The idea seems to be an exception
ally good one. Sumter county has al
ready been greatly benefited by the
advertising it has received. But the
advertising it has had is but a tithe
OF what it should have. And the ben
etlts it has already received are small,
indeed, compared to what they would
be under a proper campaign carried
on from year to year.
Mr., W. S. Andrews is one of the
promoters of the plan. He has talked
the matter over and received positive
encouragement from a number Of
prominent citizens. Satisfied that
there will be a considerable support
received, it is proposed to call
public meeting at an early date at
the courthouse to take up the matte"
OF organization.
The purpose of the club is clearly
indicated by its name. 1t will have
but one object in view, and that the
advertising of Sumter county. Hay-
ing but this one purpose, concentrat-
ing all of its monies and energies to
mat end, such a club would place the
advantages and opportunities of Sum-
Ter county before the world in the
most effective way possible.
with the large business interests OF
AIherlcus, Plains, Leslie, DeSoto and
other points interested, with the large
land owners enrolled, and with the
STIMULUS that would come from num-
Ders and proper financial backing, j
sumter County Advertising Club
would become a powerful agency fo'
'ne development of the entire coun
try.
Inc proposition as it now stands il

leels a positive interest in the build
ing up of the county by the bringing

VETERAN Will COME TO
REUNION FROM TEXAS
Has Been Away Quarter Of
Century

A Confederate veteran who left
Americus more than half century
ago for Texas and has been there
ever since, is coming home to attend
the veterans reunion in Macon, and
desires that his friends, if any sur
vive, be advised of the fact, that they
may be upon the lookout for him.
This old soldier is j. w. Gilmore
who was born in Dooly county in
1889. At the age of twenty years ne
went to Texas, then the Ell Dorado
of fortune seekers, and since 1856
has resided there, presumably having
gone through the war with a Texas
regiment.
Mr.. Gilmore resides at Nacogdoches
He has written a letter to Sheriff w
II. Feagin, advising him of the pro-
posed visit to his old home and re
ouesting his friends and relatives tC
be aI,cn the lookout for him.

Frazier's place on Cotton avenue,
which has been raided repeatedly be-
fore. A kerosene tank had been utiI-
lied for the purpose of storing the
whiskey away, but it was discovered
nevertheless.
Several other cases for the same
offense are now pending against Fra
zier in the city court and in the court
f appeals. Unless he is able to raise
the amount needed to meet the bond
fixed by Judge Hixon, Frazier will
remain in the county Jail, awaiting
the trial of the most recent case
of violation of the state prohibition
law, for which he has been arrested
and imprisoned after the production
of probably as strong evidence of his
guilt as has yet been produced.

DOUBLE fine WAS PLACED
UPON FRAZIER BY JUDGE
Bond Of $4,000 Was Assessed in the City Court YeSCr-
day-Frazier Had Been Warned By Judge That
Bond Would Be Doubled

AS the result of warrants sworn
out against Dink Frazier on account
of the seizure of whiskey made at his
place on Cotton avenue last Sunday,
Judge ]. A. Hixon, of the city court.
yesterday assessed bonds to the
amount of $4,000 against Frazier.
This sum is exactly double the sum
assessed against Frazier the last
time he was placed under bond.
81 gave Frazier due warning that
| would double the bond assessed
against him if he came up before me
again" said Judge Hixon, in speak
ing of the assessment of the bond.
The last bond against him was $2,-
900, so | simply doubled it and gave
him a $4,000 bond to pay this time.
He asked that l reduce it, but re-
fused to do so. When he asked for
the reduction of the bond, he said
that he was unable to pay it."
There was much comment yesterday
concerning the bond assessed by
Judge Hixon, as it was very generally
recognized that the judge had evident
ly seen the need of a heavy bond and
had assessed the bond accordingly
There was no hearing in the case yes
terday, but simply the assessing of
the bond as result of the warrants
that had been sworn out in the case.
AS Frazier was unable to give the
bond required, he was placed in Jail.
The warrants in the case were sworn
out as a result of the raid made last
Sunday afternoon by the police on

compressed in Americus for export
to Europe.
Mr. Council was complimented for
the advantageous sale made for his
customers, who are largely benefited
by the recent rise in cotton values,
which has boosted good middling cot
ton to the highest point of the sea-
son.
here are still 800 or 1900 bales
of cotton held in Americus ware
houses, and with better demand upon
the part of buyers, following the re-
cent advance in the futures market,
it is quite probable that other large
sales will be effected here soon in
general clearing out of stocks of the
staple.
The differences in grade are greater
this season than is often encountered,
due to adverse conditions under
which the larger portion of the cot
ton crop was picked.

In order to give the visitors to the
citv who will come here today as re-

eohools of the district the most cor
dial reception possible, Superinten~
dent A. G. Miller, of the local public
schools asks that he may have the
actiye support and aid of every owne"
of an automobile in the city. 1t Is
nlanned TO have these cars meet the
various trains which come to the
citv and also to give the visitors,
who will include both the contestants
in the meet and the delegates from
the various schools, an automobile
ride around the city from $3.50 to
4:3O o'clock.
Those who represent the various
schools will embrace representatives
of the very best and most prominent
families of the various places from
which they come, so that the most
courteous treatment possible for
these representatives is demanded up
on this occasion, and it will be cor
daily appreciated by the visitors
themselves and the management of
the schools. No better advertise
ment could be given the schools than
the most cordial treatment possible
for them when they come to Ameri-
Gus today as the guests of the city.
The first exercises of the high
school association will be held at the

]. R. Smith MAY
GET IN The RACE

Atlanta, Ca, April 1S-An interest
ing piece of political gossip is that ].
R. Smith, who successfully managed
two campaigns for Gov. Joseph M.
Brown, is thinking of throwing hs
hat into the gubernatorial ring with
in the next few days, :
A good many people have been
asking as to the secret of Mr.. Smiths
support of Coy. Woodrow Wilson, in
view of Gov. Browns strong stand
for Mr.. Underwood The gubernato-
rial bee has been put forward as the
explanation of it.
1t is well known that Mr.. Simth
has nurtured gubernatorial ambitions
for some time, though he has nothing
at present to say as to his plans. His
friends, however, are asserting that
his plans for getting into the race ara
now rapidly maturing.
Just what Mr.. Smith figures on it
is difficult to see. The Slaton forces
are now pretty we'll lined up, and the
majority of the friends of Senator
Hoke Smith-those who are as rule
for everything that Senator Smith
wants-are lined up for Tom Hudson
While almost anything might happen
in politics, the picture of Senator
Hoke Smith supporting Manager )
r. Smith (of the Joe Brown cana
paign) is practically impossible oS
conception, despite the fact that theH
are now together in the Woodrow
| Wilson bed" s.

all the out-of-door contests, which
will be conducted during the morning.
Both sessions, that tonight and the
one tomorrow morning, will be of ex-
ceptional interest.
In order that the contests in ath-
letics may be conducted most salts
factorily, permission has been gained
from the city authorities for the use
of the section of Elm street in front
of the high school building block to-
morrow morning exclusively by the
school contestants. This section of
the street will be closed during that
time, and it's use will be devoted en-
tirely to the contests conducted by
the pupils. For this reason the pub
lie is given due notice of the grant
ing of the use of the street during
the morning to the exclusive purposes
of the high school athletic meet.
The Windsor hotel will be the head
quarters for the association during its
session here, though many other
places and homes of the city will be
used, of course, for the accommoda-
tion of the representatives of the va
rious schools. The attention of the
public is called to the fact that there
will be nominal charges for admis-
sion to the exercises at the audito-
rum tonight, the price for adults be-
ing % cents and for school children
Is cents. The largest possible at
