NO SUCCESS FOR
MRS. LONGSTREET
in Her Design
TO RAISE Fund FOX SICKLES
Believed That She Cannot Get
Contributions

Il don't believe that Mrs. Helen
Longstreet can possibly raise among
Confederate veterans the fund which
she seeks for the relief of General Dan
iel Sickles, who is now charged with
having misappropriated funds of the
New York State Monument commits
sion," said Captain John A. Cobb
yesterday.
Il believe that General Sickles him
self is personally not guilty of the
charge made against him. There was
an enormous fund, amounting to mill
lions of dollars, which the commission
of which he is chairman had supervis-
ion of in the erecting of monuments
in New York With the large num-
Der of subordinates under him it is
easy to understand how so small an
amount, comparatively, was misappro-
priated by some dishonest agent.
Dan Sickles himself call him
by his first name, for he was always
known to me and my father that way
is man of strong impulses. but he
is scrupulously honest. His faults DO
not lie in his lack of honesty, courage
or bravery, but in his lack of discrim..
ination. I cannot believe for one
moment that he is personally guilty of
misusing the funds, as stated.
"It is wrong, however, to try TO
raise the fund as Mrs. Longstreet sug-
gested. The veterans who followed
sickles should be asked to contribute
to the fund. Mrs. Longstreet is merely
seeking publicity, when she mentions
such a plan. Confederate veterans
will never adopt such a suggestion
here or elsewhere"
General Sickles is well known to
Captain Cobb, whose father defended
the Northern soldier when he was
tried for killing another man. Captain
Cobb is greatly interested in seeing the
Northern veteran relieved of his diff
Guilty, but he believes Northern veter-
ans and people should rally to their
own leaders rescue.

SHOW NORMAL
COTTON CROP
FOR The YEAR JUST CLOSED
SUmtGf'S Crop Average One
Even Last Year

There are, in round numbers, about
fifteen hundred bales of cotton re.
naming in Americus warehouses, or
one thousand bales less than at this
date one month ago. On January 1st
the local stocks amounted to $500
bales, but about 1000 bales have been
sold and shipped away during Jan
uary. Total warehouse receipts 70
date will exceed $4,000 bales consid
erably, all of this being wagon cot
ton, delivered at the warehouses. Ship
ments direct to the compress from
other points are not included in this
estimate.
AS Americus usually received from
$4,000 to $4,000 bales of wagon cotton
annually, it will be seen that the Sum
ter county crop last year was an av-
erage one. While crop conditions in
other sections were poor, Sumter coun-
ty made normal crop, as will be seen
by tn ewarehouse receipts here.
Of the 1900 bales still held here, the
greater portion is "off grade" mid
ding and low middling, worth II to
II IL cents, while some of it is really
fine cotton. One lot shown yesterday
had been held by the owner two years
and was of very excellent grade

single TERM
RESOLUTION
CAUSED ROW
IN THE SENATE YESTERDAY
Partisan Spirit Rampant in
Discussion

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-Nearly
dozen important amendments and
counter proposals were pending before
the senate today when it resumed con-
sderation of the Works resolution for
single six-year presidential term.
These included many amendments de-
signed to exempt Wilson, Taft and
Roosevelt from the effect of a change
in the constitution, and some amend
ments so drawn as to expressly ex-
clude Col. Roosevelt from another
term. 1t was expected that a final
vote on the resolution and all amend
ments might be reached before night
At least four of the amendments
pending were to restrict a president
to two terms, but to count "a fraction
of term as full term. An amend
ment by Senator Gallinger proposed
a four-year term, with the provisions
that mo person who has held the Of
fee by election or discharged it's pow
ers and duties, or acted as president
should be eligible ito hold the office
by election more than one additional
term"
An amendment by Senator Hitch
cock was similar, but provided a six
year term, with one reelection. All
amendment by Senator McCumber also
limited a president to two four-year
terms and provided that any service
as president for "the major portion
O. a four -year-term should count as
one term. Senator Williams amend
ment, similar to this would have
counted amy fraction of a term" as a
IuIl term.
Under any of these amendments,
Col Roosevelt would be ineligible for
reelection. An amendment by Sen
ator Payne proposed to extend the
six-year term to the president in Of
fee when the constitutional amend
ment should be ratified; another by
Senator Dixon, proposed expressly to
exempt President-elect Wilson from
the restriction of a single term aa1
an amendment by Senator Root pro-
posed to make the single term take

Uncle Sam wants more stenograph-

mand for them is rather urgent, so
that male eligibles stand a good
chance of receiving appointments 1t
salaries that range from $500 to 81 ,OO)
annually.

be conducted February 1S. All appli-
cations for the privilege of examina-
ton shall be in hand at the postoff1ce

ty, is heartily cooperating with M.

DEBATERS WERE
SELECTED FOR
LOCAL SCHOOL
AT EXERCISES YESTERDAY
viii Meet WaFFGDtOn High
School in April

At a preliminary contest conducted
yesterday at the High School three de-
baters were chosen from among the
student body to represent the school at
tie debate with the Warrenton High
School to be conducted here in April.
The students chosen are all girls.
They are Misses Annie Laurie Page,
Ruth Britton and Mary Gray. The al
ternate is Dan Chappell, the only boy
to get a look-in on the argumentativo
hcnors that were awarded the students
yesterday.
An excellent showing was made by
the contestants, and the members of
the faculty, who made the award of
places, were greatly pleased with the
work of the students. The successful
debaters, as we'll as the others who
took part in the contest, were especial
ly enthusiastic in their work
The choice of debaters is considered
especially fortunate in that each one
chosen has taken part in debates be-
fore and is experienced in this kind 9f
work. If tie enthusiasm and zeal
manifested yesterday are maintained it
is believed trat the local school will
come out victorious when the debate is
held here in April.

REV. ALLEN FORT
IS OFFERED The
JUDSON AGENCY
is A RESPONSIBLE POSITION
But lie viii Hardly Leave
Pastoral Field

Rev. Allen Fort, formerly of Ameri-
Gus, but now pastor of the Tabernacle
Baptist church in Chattanooga, Tenn
has been offered the field agency of
the Judson Memorial fund. He will
probably decline to accept the honor
rendered him in this new work.
Mr. Fort has many friends here, the
city of his nativity, who are pleased to
learn of the new honor that has been
offered him by the Baptist denomina-
ton Whatever work he pursues, they
will watch his career with interest and
with hopes for still more brilliant
achievement
The following clipping from the
Chattanooga News is explanatory OF
the latest honor offered Mr. Fort:
"The Rev. Allen Fort, pastor of the
Tabernacle Baptist church, who is
considering a call to the pastorate Of
Walnut and Twenty-second Streets
church of Louisville, KY, has re-
ceiyed from T. B. Ray, educational
secretary of the foreign missions
board, a letter asking if he would con-
slider a proposition to become one OF
the field agents for the Judson Me-
mortal fund. The Baptists, through
this fund, are endeavoring to raise
$1,000,000 for the equipment of mis-
sion stations, memorializing Judson,
the great missionary.
"The general impression is, how
ever, that DR.. Fort will not leave the
pastoral realm. In fact, he said: :!
have a pastors heart in me and love
pastoral work
Or. Fort, before his congregation
Sunday morning, will have an an
nouncement to make concerning his
decision regarding the call to Louis
Vile Although his people regret 70
give him up, it is thought that he
may accept the Louisville call, as from
the first he has had the matter under
prayerful consideration.
"The Louisville church to which Dr..
Fort may go is one of the largest in
the South OF the Baptist denomina-
ton, and has been pastored by some
strong preachers in times past"

Vets WOULD NOT GIVE

No Sympathy Here for the
Plan

Not in the slightest degree do Sum
ters Confederate veterans sympathize
with the proposition to contribute tn
any fund for the relief of General
Sickles, as suggested by Mrs. Helen
Longstreet, and it is a safe assertion
that no donation will be sent from
Americus to make up the misappro-
pliated funds.
Il consider it an outrage that any
such suggestion should ever be made,
said one of the most prominent men,
bers of Camp Sumter, 642, when dis
cussing the proposition yesterday with
other veterans.
General sickles was not only one
of our bitterest and most persistent
enemies, even after the war. but he
has committed an offense against hi,
own state in the charges preferred, and
should be dealt with accordingly. ]

veterans helping him"
1t is quite evident that the veterans
here do not entertain any love for Gen
Sickles, or any enthusiasm over the
grandstand play to assist him now.

more than five men We're killed in
every 1000 men; in the iron mines
more than four were killed in every
1000, in the lead and zinc mines the
death rate was nearly three and one
