Following the usual company drill
of two hours, the Springfelds were
put away, belts removed and the SER
ried ranks of soldiery lined up at the
festal board, where sundry pratters of
savory possum, fianked with sweet po-
tatoes dripping in rich brown gravy,
constituted the piece de resistance. In
sheer charity let the curtain fall for
thirty minutes.
Captain James Fort presided as gen.
ial host and his post-prandial remarks
aroused enthusiasm among the Infan-
tfymen, as did the brief addresses Of
Lieutenants McLendon, Hogue and
other steadfast bulwarks of the gallant
old "a. L. l."
The proposed trip of the company to
Frisco during the Panama-Pacific ey-
position was discussed with renewed
interest and enthusiasm and 1t seems
a fact insured that Americus will be
represented at the big show by its
military. The men are already pur-
ting aside money for the trip every
week, and probably thirty or forty
will cross the continent.
The A. L. I. is in splendid physical
condition and more than ever before
one of the crack commands in the mill
itary service of the state.

SECRETARY M'ADOO SENDS In ES-
INNATE ON APPROPRIATIONS
FOR COMING YEAR
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
is SELF SUPPORTING
Estimate is Twenty-Five Millions Larg-
er Than This Year-Due to Extra
Expenses.

Washington, D. c., Dec. /. - Con-
gress will have to appropriate just
$1,10S, ,6S1,177 to operate the govern
ment of the United States during the
fiscal year 1914, according to esti-
mates prepared by each department
and sent to the house today by Sec
retary McAdoo of the treasury.
With this vast sum the government
will maintain the battleships and forts
and the armies in the states and in
the countries that border the sevea
seas; it will keep the scales of Justice
balanced; endeavor to retain the
friendship of foreign nations, look
after domestic prosperity and seek at
intervals to discover new ways in
which to better health, improve liv.
ing conditions and investigate the
merits of the thousand new things II
industry and commerce that come II
it's attention.
Postoffice department, including the
parcels post; the government expects
the nation to pay $S06,953.117, but the
postoffice department is self-support-
ing and no appropriations are re-
quired from congress to keep it go
ing.
The estimates submitted today are
$22,S64,067 in excess of the appro
priations for the last fiscal year, but
their total falls $39,255,O66 below tn
estimates for that year. Exclusive oi
the postoffice, the estimates are as fol-
lows:
Legislative establishments, 1888,
331. Executive establishment. $780,
,09,26S.
Judicial establishment, $1.242,110.
Department Of agriculture, $19,06t,
1872.
Foreign intercourse, $4,447,042.
Military establishment, $105, ,937, ,544
Naval establishment, $139,S31, ,953.
Indian affairs, $1O,20S,965
Pensions, $169,150,000.
Public works, $97,917592
Miscellaneous, $S4,393,213.
Permanent annual appropriations
$131, ,196,4O7.

pointed out that a great hue and cry
is raised about every time Congress
authorizes a pubic building to be er-
ected in any other city, but directed
attention to the fact that in every in
stance the property on which the
building stands leaves the assessment
and taxes forever.
"While Mr.. Crisp wants the District
to be placed on it's own feet financial
ly, he was silent on the proposition Ct
whether the governing power Of the
city should still remain in Congress,
which effectually is board of alder
men for the city. Many members Of
the House and OF the Senate will OBJ
ject to a plan which will make the
District responsible for it's own ex-
penses, perhaps more than doubly
great on account of this being the
National Capital, while at the same
time denying the citizens of the Dis
trict the right of a voice in how the
money should be spent, or, in fact, in
governmental matters at ALL"
The Washington Herald also con-
tains an article upon the Crisp meas
ure. decrying it, which is reproduced
elsewhere in the Times-Recorder.

PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS REBEL
VICTORIES ARE WEAKENING
DESPOT
WILLIAM HALE BACK
I'm CAPITAL CITY
No New Devel6l ments in Mexican
Wilson Seems Satisfied.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-Prest-
dent Wilson observed to callers today
that the Mexican factions in the rebel
lion seemed to be conducting things
in very interesting way at present,
and that no development was con-
templated SO far as the United
States was concerned.
His visitors believed that he had
in mind the increasing number of
constitutionalist victories and the rap
idly diminishing zone of control of the
government of Provisional President
Huerta.
William Bayard Hale, who talked
with General Carranza and the cor
stitutionalist chiefs at Nogales, re-
turned here early today and will see
the president tomorrow.
Officially, nothing is known at the
white house concerning the visit Of
Querido, the Mexican foreign minister,
to Vera Cruz. He has not conferred
with John Lind, according to informa-
tion here today.
The policy of the American gov
ernment continues to be one of wait
ing, while the financial blockade
weakens the resources Of the Huerta
regime and the constitutionalists
press forward their vigorous campaign

DEMAND FOR FARMS is
INCREASING In SUMTER

Americus real estate dealers say
that the demand for small farms is
greater than ever and it looks as II
the time was approaching when most
of the very large farms in this section
would be cut up into small ones. This
demand comes not merely from the
western or northern settler, but those
wishing to move to this section from
other parts of the state, wishing only
small farms. To supply this demand
many of the old places are bought up
by real estate men and sub-dividAd
into small farms. One dealer stated
today that he had been busy sub-divid-
ing one of these old farms Of large
acreage into small ones recently, and
expected to dispose of them very
shortly. t1OF

ROYAL CUEFEST
LAST EVENING At ARMORY
Grand Rally Of Khaki Clad
Troopers

Had the Americus Light Infantry
been suddenly summoned last night to
move upon Huerta's bunch of greas-
ers every member, rank and file,
would have been ready, fully uniform
ed and equipped. Fortunately, how
ever, the only charge the troopers
were called upon to make last night
was upon foes already dead, cooked
and quickly devoured.
1t is a time-honored and pleasing
custom of the Light Infantry to enjoy
a smoker and social reunion on the
first Monday night OF each month, and
every warrior bold from Captain Fort
down the line, remembered last night
as the auspicious occasion.

TAX EQUALIzERs
were SELECTED
MONDAY MORNING
HAWKINS, STATRAM, MATHIS
Named By Board County
Commissioners

Sumter county's board of tax equal
izers, which is constituted under re-
cent legislative enactment, has just
been named by the board of county
commissioners and will enter upon
their important duties January 1st. The
new board of equalizers consists of
Messrs. C. C. Hawkins, Ernest Stathaa
and DR.. E. T. Mathis, three of Sumter 5
representative citizens and property
owners.
Their duties will be to pass upon
county property, as returned for taxa
ton, and adjust valuations as they
deem proper. Mr. Hawkins was named
for the six years term, Mr.. Statham
for four years, and DR.. Mathis for two
years.
The new law under which board If
tax equalizers is named in each coun,
ty is a most excellent one, and the ef-
feet will be to very largely reduce the
tax rate by insisting upon a fair and
just valuation upon property returned
for taxes. AS the sum total of values
is increased the tax rate is reduced
proportionately
1t is fact that, despite the prevail
ing good prices at which Sumter coun-
ty farming lands have been sold in re-
cent years-fgures ranging from $25
to S75 per acre-the average valuation
put upon lands when returned for
taxes is less than $40 per acre. Tne
creation of a board of tax equalizers
will correct this evil and lands will De
returned at better values.
The board of equalizers will begin
their duties in January, as stated
Their remuneration will be So per day
for the time devoted to their business

sonville road near Americas yesterday,

thought to get out and get it ere the
car stopped. In making the jump he
ell and was injured, as stated. He wcs
carried back to the Hartley home
where DR.. D. B. Mayes attended his
injuries.

(TALK NO. 171.)

Some people who wear glasses never
seem to be at home in them. They
either throw the head too far back
or too far forward. They seem to be
constantly trying to get the eyes and
glasses into focus with each other.
No movement of the head seems to be
natural. The cause of this is nearly
always a farelessness in adjusting the
frames. If they are too high the
wearer must stoop forward to see
through them. If too low he must tip
his head backward. If too small he
will be compelled to dodge the rims"
every time he looks to one side. If
they are just right he will have none
of these troubles. He will think no
more of his glasses than Of his coat
