HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH AMER.
Gus AND SUMTER COUNTY :.
SAYS AMERICUS is AN IDEAL
PLACE IN WHICH TO LIVE

Americas Manufacturing Concerns
Employ Only Skilled Labor, And
This Kind Pays, Says Manufac-
turing Expert.

G. R. Booker, southern representa-
tive for the Manufacturers Record OF
Baltimore, is enthusiastic over Amer
icus and Sumter county. After spend
ing the better part of two days, here
he left yesterday for other points IN
South Georgia.
Mr.. Booker covers sixteen states for
his company and he makes study of
the social and economic conditions of
every town and city he visits. He has
seen so many prosperous places that 1t
takes something real nifty" to awak-
en- his enthusiasm. But Americas
succeeded in making him enthusiast
tic. Mr.. Booker was interviewed by
reporter from the Times-Recorde
yesterday, and said:
II have fallen in love with Ameri-
Gus. Americas is certainly a hustling
city and Sumter county is in many re-
spects an ideal farming territory. l
and that prosperity here with you,
and judging from the look of things
she will be with you for some time 20
come.
1T has been some time since
visited your city last and 1 can see
remarkable improvements. AS man
ufacturing center Americas is forging
ahead. / was surprised at the num-
Der of manufacturing concerns that
are doing business in Americas. You
have ideal conditions for manufacture
ing industries and look for Americas
to be quite manufacturing center in
few years. / notice one pleasing
thing in connection with your man l.
facturies. They are all of the kind
that employ skilled labor That is the
kind that it pays a city to have. Any
city that has large number of skill
ed workmen who receive good pay
every week need not worry about hard
times. One plant that employs skill
ed laborers will benefit city more
than two plants that employ unskilled
workmen."
Yesterday 1 was taken out over
some of your good roads and they
are properly named The roads If
this county are superb. AS we whizzed
along in high-powered car I could
read prosperity stamped all over the
fields and store houses.
"a visitor in Americas cannot help
but be struck by the number of really
pretty homes. I believe that 1 never
saw as many really beautiful homes III
any city the size of Americas before.
A city with substantial homes, hustl-
ing business enterprises, and a rich
farming territory around it is an ideal
place to live. Such a place is Amer
icus.
II understand that you have set as
goal 10000 in 1920. can see no
reason why by that time Americas will
not be way ahead of that mark"

ARBITRATION IS ENDANGERED
Senate Again Falls to Ratify Treaties

Washington, June 9.-The principle
of compulsory arbitration written in.
to the code that has bound the Unit
ed States with "a great and lesser
nations of the world for the last five
years is in serious danger, and un-
less there is a decided change in
sentiment in the senate the renewal
of t@~enty-tfIree of the treaties which
gave concrete evidence of this ma
tion's belief in such a policy, may be
impossible.
In executive session the senate
again failed to ratify renewals of the
arbitration agreements with Great
Britain, Italy and Spain which recent
ly expired. A similar treaty with
France already has been renewed.
The main argument arose over the
contention hat II the treaty with
Great Britain is ratified the Panama
