AMERICAS Is GREAT
CITY FOR AUTOMOBILES
Such Is Opinion Of Baltimore
Man

Americas is the greatest automo-
bile town that l visit in ali of my
travels, north or south, the size of the
place considered, and it is an indica-
ton of progress as l view it," were
the comments of Baltimore travelling
man yesterday, as he stood at the
Windsor hotel corner and looked about
him.
Car after car speeded by on Lamar
and Jackson streets, while by actual
count forty-one automobiles were
standing in front of stores within the
distance of three blocks. And it was
an every day-almost hourly-state of
affairs, too Americas enjoys the rep
utation of possessing a greater num-
Der of automobiles than any Georgia
city, except, of course, the four or FIVE
larger cities. There are in Sumter
county a total of more than five hum
dred machines, many of them very lux
urious and expensive cars, as we'll as
the less expensive ones.
1t is fair to assume that these 500
cars cost an average price of $1,000
each-very many of them cost several
thousands each-but at conservative
estimate of $1,000 each, the cost of
these cars, in the aggregate, represent
an investment of half million dollars
This is speeding some" when it ia
easily remembered that not more than
eight or nine years ago there were but
three little antiquated cars in Ameri-
Gus.
With 500 cars in commission, and
gasoline now selling at 25 cents PEI
gallon, Sumter's bill annually for JOY
riding is immense But the cost has
10 deterrent effect for the purchase of
cars is rapidly increasing, and this
year scores of new ones of the moas
modern type will be bought by Ameri-
Gus people Sumter's fine roads, with
the recognized necessity, almost, of
ones owning a car, is the incentive to
buying, and it is now a fact that an
automobile is as much an essential in
the family as the telephone.

HIGH PRICE OF MEAT INEVITABLE

Impressive reasons for the present
very high price of meat can be obtain
ed from the report of the bureau oil
foreign and domestic commerce. The
export value of cattle for the past year
was 100000, as compared with $14,-
100000 for the year before, and just
tenth of the value in 1908 Impor-
tations of cattle the same year werl
valued at over $5,OOOOOO, as against
$4,000 in 1904. The number o.
cattle on farms on the first day of last
year was 5S,O0O,0OO, as compared with
72,5O00OO in 1907. Fresh meat expor
tations last year were only 3 pei
cent of those for 1901
The population of the United States
is steadily increasing, the cities am
industrial centers more rapidly thai
the rural sections. More centers move
rapidly than the rural sections. More
eaters and fewer producers have haC
thei' effect. So strong has been tn
demand that the exports of cattle ha
almost ceased, while the importatiou'
have risen by leaps and bounds.
Many considerations enter into tn,
rise in price of foodstuffs, and some o
them can be overcome, but the checl
will never reach base until the rati,
of producers to those to be fed il
started the other way, A vanishin,
expectation, an increasing importation
fewer head of cattle on the farms an
ranges-these tell an eloquent story ,
why meat has taken such a spectacu
lar rise, 1t is also foretaste of wha
may happen in other lines when tn
great bulk of the people want to ca
what others provide,

SHALL AMERICUS HAVE LEAGUE
BASEBALL!

With the reputation that Americas
has as a city that patronizes and sup
ports baseball il seems that such a
question as the one used as the cap
ton of this editorial ought not to be
asked. But it is necessary to ask it.
Such has been the decision of the board
of directors of the local club.
It was a matter of very thorough and
general discussion among the officials
of the ball club before they agreed to
place before the people a call for a
mass meeting to decide the matter OF
whether the people of the city would
support organized baseball. 1t SCENE
strange to them that such a course
should be necessary after what has
happened here recently. Especially
does this seem strange after commit
tee of fans from Americas went Owe;
to Cordele and galvanized the fans
over there into life
1t is a case of physician heal thy
self" Americas has helped to gel
Cordele aroused as regards the matter
of entering the Empire State league
and now it becomes necessary fol
Americas to turn about and see to its
own lack of enthusiasm in the matter
A queer state of affairs, isn't it? New
ertheless it is true The matter Of
whether Americas will have League
baseball this year is still in the bal
ance. 1t must be settled today.
OF course, Americas will have base.
ball That is taken for granted. Blu
why cannot the people of Americas ge
together and answer definitely this
question as to the stand of the city fol
league baseball, Americas SHOULD
have league baseball. Americas SHOULD
get together this afternoon unanimous
ly and give the officials of the bal
club the assurance that is needed tt
make league baseball certain here this
year. Will not the people of the cit
do that and do it today?
